Kirkpatrick, the board of directors of

suspension of the "deads" was the
action of the board of directors in
delegating to itself the authority for
all expenditures. No more will the
ambitious committee chairman have
free rein with the funds of the or

dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will compiler ely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sin
gle 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 in
stantly, 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 four
ounces is all you will need This sim
pie remedy has never been known to
