Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to Dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it
at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
If not all of your dandruff will be gone.
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy,
every single sign and trace of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff YOU nay have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensiVe and never fails
to do the work.

scantiy Clad Patient Escapes From
Hospital and Wanders Around
City all Night in De-
Irious Condition.

A colored man who has been at
ST Joseph's hospital being treated
for pneumonia made his escape last
night while in a delirious condition,
and gave the hospital authorities a
lot of trouble before finally being
rounded up this morning. The man,
whose name is not known, had been
somewhat unbalanced mentally by
the disease and earlier in the evening
had jumped out of a window at the
hospital but was induced to go back.
At about 1890 however, he left the
hospital again, how he got away is
not known, and wandered about the
streets in the vicinity.
This morning at 6: 80 he was found
at Eighth and Johnson streets. mud

man was clad only in a thin night

Candidacy for Congressman

Suggestion.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye prints
the following human interest" story
that will be appreciated by politicians
and others in the first congressional
district:
Clifford Thorne is not an avowed
candidate for the congressional nom

Neither will he say that he is not a
candidate nor that he is candidate.
But Mr.. Thorne did say that the an.
nouncement Of his candidacy made
editodally in the Washington County
Press some weeks ago was made with
out any suggestion upon his part.
Mr.. Thorne is very busy man in
a very busy law Office in a very busy
State street office building In the very
busy city Of Chicago. That is where a
reporter for the Hawk-Eye found
him. He had previously called Mr..
Thorne by telephone and made an ap-
pointment. AS soon as the newspaper
mans card was sent into Mr. Thorne's
private office, there was an exodus OF
three or four men, and the newspaper
man was ushered in to discover Mr..
Thorne behind a very busy looking

About entering the contest for q
seat in congress from that district"
"Mr. Kennedy is candidate again.
I believe" said Mr.. Thorne.
The newspaper man admitted that
to be the case.
But about yourself. Mr.. Thorne. It
looks as II other possible candidates
are waiting to see what You are going
to do"
OF course, that was a bad sugges-
tion. It gave Mr. Thorne an oppor
tunity to ask questions.
why are they waiting to see what
II am going to do? It was just the
other way before. Now when l came
out as a candidate, several others
dropped out and the contest narrowed
down." said Mr.. Thorne, and he then
discussed the last previous campaign
to some extent.
But about this campaign, Mr..
Thorne. You know the Washington
County Press has announced your
candidacy, editorially. The Hawk-Eye
used that editorial. What the people
out there want to know is, are you,
as the Press said, coming back to
Iowa to run for congress? Did you
authorize that announcements
Mr.. Thorne registered thoughtful
ness.
why is It necessary to say any
thing about my candidacy now?''
asked Mr.. Thorne
Because the people want to know"
well, why can't you merely say,
Mr.. Thorne has not announced his
candidacy for the congressional nomi-
nation for the first Iowa congression-
al district, nor has he authorized any
announcement, and the editorial an
nouncement in the Washington Coun-
ty Press was made without any sug-
gestion from him. Further than that

thinking of little else?"
The reporter admitted the correct
ness Of this surmise
Don't you think" queried Mr..
Thorne. that, while Of course the war
should come first we are apt to lose
sight Of other and very important
questions, have them too much over
Swallowed by the war;"
What, for instance?"
well, It is only natural that every
one should put the war first, and that
is correct, but there are many othe
matters that must receive our atten-
ton"
But MI Thorne did not go into de.
tails as to these other questions, and
the interview ended
Kennedy Alone SO Far.
This still leaves Mr.. Kennedy as the
only avowed candidate for the nomi-
nation.
OF all the possibilities that have
been mentioned. not one has come out
asking for the nomination at the
hands OF the republican voters at the
primaries. Most of them are no
longer considered possibilities. 1t is
rumored that Mr.. Kopp still contem-
plates entering the list, but Mr..
Kopp has been entertaining a case oil

nouncement one way or another.

MANY DELlhQOthlo
AMONG AUT0|STS
Nearly 10000 lowans Failed to Re
spond to Request to Renew IL
censes in Time Stated
by Law.
PENALTIES OF 100000
These Will be Charged for the First
Month, But Subsequently
This viii Be
Diminished.

A considerable number Of the
automobile owners OF the state
failed to get under the wire for
renewal Of their auto licenses by
April /, according to w. S. Allen,
the secretary of state.
There were some $4,000 ma
chimes In the state on Jan. sub
ject to registration said Mr.. Al
len. approximately 100000 of these
have thus far failed to renew. OF
course 1t may be that some Of these
machines have been discarded. but by
far the greatest number of them Will
renew their licenses
The law provides that every au-
tomobile in the state must be reg
istered on Jan. 1. The owners are
given until April. however. to
make application for renewal Of
their licenses and pay the fees.
After that date penalty Is Inn
posed amounting to 10 per cent OF
the fee for the first month of de-
linquency, and after that s per cent
per month until paid.
Penalties Fully $4,000.
The amount OF the average auto
mobile fee in Iowa is 1925, SO that
the average penalty collected by
the state during April will be 821h
cents. It is safe to say that the
amount Of these penalties will run
up to more than 100000 for the
month Of April alone. After that
registered machines will be q con-
stantly diminishing quantity. and the
ratio of penalty Is only half of what

present force at work in the auto
mobile department only some 1900
to 1000 applications can be handled

some 10000 applications that had not

by all auto owners that no penalty

Hungary Has Food Troubles.
(Ry United Press1

WASHINGTON. April 12.-Austria.
Hungary is afflicted with horde of
food profiteers and hoarders, according
to Hungarian newspapers just receiv-
ed here. The government, they claim,
has proceeded against 1874 persons in
thirty-one cases Of profiteering and
boarding. Many Of the schemes for
the securing of food, are original.
One man, a printer Of Budapest,
carried on flourishing business in
food cards-which he had printed
himself. He got two years. Another
man. a discharged soldier, took lodg-
ings under false names and received
cards for each name. When arrested
he had twenty-five food cards az
sixteen false registration papers.
