Dandruf Surely
Destroys the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair. do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve 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.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t
is inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.

United States Government
Hopes to Cut Losses
in Train Elimination

Washington, May 14.-Director
General McAdoo yesterday ordered
curtailment of transcontinental pas
senger schedules from Chicago west,
effective June 2, to save IL, 1,72S,OOO
train miles a year, by eliminating
competition and cutting down rum
ming schedules.
The curtailment, with reductions
previously made, are expected to re-
suit in saving of about $1S,000,0O0
year. Under the new arrangement
the Santa Fe will be the principal
road carrying passenger traffic from
Chicago to Los Angeles; the Chicago
and Northwestern, Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific to San Fran
cisco; the Burlington and Northern
Pacific to Portland, Ore, and the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul to
Seattle.
Fast trains will make the trip to
all four Pacific coast terminals in
seVenty-two hours and secondary
trains in Seventy-e eight hours. Extra
fares now charged on a few fast
trains will be eliminated.
Mail schedules will be rearranged
to establish a parity for all the ter
minals and Intern ediary CONNER
cial centers, so that the new plan
will not discriminate against any
city. The reductions are to be ef-
fected mainly by taking off num-
ber of local trains and adding their
traffic to the through trains, whose
length and running schedules conse-
quently will be increased.
The public will be adequately
served under the new arrangement,
said a railroad administration an
nouncement, but probably more up
per berths will be sold.
A similar curtailment is now be-
ing worked out for southwestern
territory. About 35,000,O00 train
miles already have been saved in the
eastern district.
