Motor Arrives.


Motor Arrives.
Nine carloads of concentrates were
shipped by the National during the
month Of December, the same record
that was made in November The
company ships to the Tacoma smeter,
and the cars are often long time in
reaching their destination, due to
precedence given by all railroads to
war traffic for the government. The
earnings, for November were a little
better than $4,000 and it is expected
that the December net earnings will be
some better, due to the increased value
Of concentrates both in copper and
silver

rived last week, but no attempt VIII
be made to utilize it until the arrival
of representative of the company to

COUGHING ARMY OFFICERS

A writer in the New fork Times,
illustrating the high cost OF serving
ones country declares that our army
officers have been "gouged' in the pur-
chase OF their equipment to the extent
OF $29,0OOOOO
The figures he gives seem undeni-
able proof of seandalous ext0rtion
More than 100000 officers have enter
ed the service since we went to war,
and in accordance with the custom
have provided their equipment at
their own expense They have had
to buy nearly everything from private
dealers. AS result, the writer says,
these officers have each paid. on an
average, S2SS09 more than they would
have had to pay if the government
had furnished them the supplies at
cost.
AS long as they are forced to pa
tronize private dealers, it goes with
out saying that the dealers deserve
to make a profit. But surely there is
no excuse for such profits as are in
dicated by comparison of the gov
eminent prices and private prices
For a cap which costs the government
73 cents the officer must pay the deal
er $3.50. For a 1855 hat the officer
pays $40. For an overcoat which
the war department could sell him for
$3.50 he must pay $40. A 81 suit Of
underwear costs him IS. Blankets
and sleeping big which cost the gov
eminent SIS cost him $40. And so it
goes.
A few of the articles the officers
need can be bought direct from the
commissary department which furn
ishes equipment to privates. 1t is
worth noting that in practically every
cas- the private dealers price To-
these articles rs the same as the gov
eminent price. The conclusion is in
evitable that the higher prices charg
ed for other things represent for tn
most part pure extortion, made pos
sible by the lack of government
competition. The retailer in any par
ticular case may not be making al
extortionate profit, but somebody il
making it,
The public naturally wants to know
why there should be any profit at all
The officers pay Is small enough
considering his heavy expenses. Al
long as he has to buy his outfit, VIII!
can't the war department sell it t
him direct, at cost price?

Sure Way To Get
Rid OF Dandrufe

There is one sure way that never fails
TO remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, OF your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly.
and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous.
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel

You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.
