The Easiest Way
To End Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
binary 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 dissolve 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 a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.-Adv.

My Ideal Leading Man
By Ruth Clifford

Clothes may not exactly make
the man." but they do help wonder
fully!
My leading man must be well
groomed, 1.-THE, tall, graceful. /
prefer a blonde in the beginning,
we'll cooked under, slow sun until
he becomes almost brunette. His
clothes should not fit him as
though they we're built by sail
maker on spec. He must dance
superbly, look like an Apollo.
Can't find a man like that?
Well, then, find me one with as
many of these attributes as possible.
| don't want a leading man who
sees things through rose-colored
glasses and walks on clouds of con-
ceit. I don't want him beautiful
nor do / want him unattractive.
His charm, however, must be obvi-
ous-if it isn't it may make him all
right for social intercourse-but
not for the screen.
To "get over" a man must have
a polish and gloss that makes an
impression for him. 1t is up to
him, then, to show that he "has
the goods"

What Happened at the Stockbridge
Home.

Mrs. Stockbridge herself met US
at the door, in appearance and man
ner quite transformed from the stiff,
sulky woman I had first met, and
with no trace whatever of the mad
ened creature who had shrieked at
me from the side of the road few
weeks before. Evidently, as Bess
Dean had predicted, she was con
her best behavior" and it was a
cordial, smiling welcome which she
extended to us as we came up the
steps. .... 49,.
my DEAR" her husband spoke the
words with the deferential intona-
ton he almost always uses toward
her, "this is Lieutenant Graham.
You have met Mrs. Graham and
Alice, of course"
81 am so glad you could come to
US, Lieutenant Graham" his wife
said brightly, shaking Dicky's out
stretched hand with effusion. "And
now, Kenneth, if you'll take Lieu
tenant Graham up to your room,
I'll bring the girls out to the sun
parlor. Well have tea there in a
few moments. I know you must all
be tired and thirsty"
"We're so tired, Milly," Alice Hol-
combe spoke promptly, that l for
one would like to go upstairs and
get some of this dust off before
tea.
I wondered if it were my fancy
or did a flicker of alarm show in
Milly Stockbridge's eyes for a mo-
ment! The next moment she had
answered calmly:
mo need to climb the stairs,
Alice. Here's lavatory and towels
and a mirror right here, as you
know" She threw open door from

cannot define flirting for you. 1t
is state of mind and can best be
recognized by the person harboring
it. Others can see 1t when 1t has
reached bold stage. The harm in
going to public amusements or en-
tertaining boy callers at your age is
not so much in what you do as In
what you don't do. There Is time
for everything and your age 10 the
time for school work, good reading
particularly study Of the best poe
try, music, art and healthy recrea-
tion--in short, the development Of
mind and body at a period when they
are longing to grow. They may be
crowded out OF later years and a
few faded love letters, pressed flow
ers or empty bon-bon boxes will be
a poor substitute for the strength
anc intelligence which must be ac-
quired now.
Bashful Friend-Let the bashful
friend make the advances. This
malady is not incurable and he will
recover, never fear. Is there no
other man you have for q friend?
A little rivalry might help.
Sweet Sixtecn-A girl of Is Is
usually sophomore in high school.
1t is very nice to have boy friends
to escort you home from the parties,
but don't become sentimental over a
mere chum. wouldn't advice
dances on school nights and don't
indulge in kissing games.
b. A. and d. C.-These young men
are privileged to attend any dances
they like as far as I can see. There
is no reason why they cannot have
other girl friends beside yourselves.
A leila and Jessie-Is there no
church in your vicinity where you
could meet some young people? II
double strength othine didn't re-
move the freckles ! guess it's lost
hope.
A.-Tell your friend that you have
other engagements when he wishes
to call. You did right In sending
your soldier friend card Of SYM
pathy and 7 am sure he will ap-
preciate it. A salad, an ice and cof-
fee is nice supper to order after
the show. Find out what your COM
panion's hobby Is, everyone has
some particular thing in which they
are deeply interested, possibly II you
start him talking with a few well d.
rected questions you can just listen,
and every man loves good listener,
especially when he is talking about
himself.
Country Girl-Try to improve your
English little, and spelling also
before you think Of matrimony.
Even though you cannot attend
school you can accomplish a great
deal by yourself. If you do not love
this man you can easily tell him SO.
Girlie-Yes, you are far too young
to know your own mind and don't
be so sure that the other girls are
jealous of your beauty. Be agree
able to every one, but wait a few
years before choosing your mate.

T able Manners

While table manners NAV be
largely convention, they have 4 basis
OF common sense in many cases, and
they are arbitrarily taken as an in
dication of good breeding. Hence
woe by to the person who through
ignorance or carelessness steps aside
from the prescribed way. The rea-
son why carlessness gets the upper
hand is that many OF us keep one
set of manners for home use and
another for company" and at times
the two get confused. 1t goes with
out saying that the two should be
one and the same.
Pointers to Remember.
Sit down and get up from the
left of the chair.
Place a woman guest at the right
of the man who brings her in to
dinner.
Be careful in the handling of sill
yer. Hold a spoon or fork as a
pen. Keep the fingers far up on
the handles of the cutlery.
Keep bread and butter on the
bread and butter plate, or on the
dinner plate if no bread and butter
plate is used. Break off small
piece of bread, roll or biscuit and
butter it after it is broken. Do
not break bread or crackers into
soup, though it is good form to drop
oyster crackers or croutons into
soup.
Place the knife and fork crossing
each other when not in use during
course. Place them parallel and
at one side at the end Of course
or when passing the plate for Sec
ond helping.
Fold the napkin if one expects to
have a second meal at the same
table. Otherwise place it oompactly

A Problem.

A Problem.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
My friend has written you for ad-
vice, and seemed to be successful, so
I've decided to come to you also.
had been going pretty steady
with a soldier at Fort Omaha, but
last evening I just all of a sudden
realized didn't care for him. 1
went with him merely because he
was lonesome. I'm not insinuating
that he couldn't go with other girls
here in Omaha; but he got in some
sor of a quarrel with his girl in his
home town, and, naturally, felt sort
Of down-hearted. He put all his con-
fidence in me and told me every
engaged, l feel that / am helping to
deceive this other girl, and l most
certainly wouldn't want to do that,
as l would want to be treated square
If l were in her place. At times it
seems to me that he doesn't care a
bit for her. then again he simply
raves about her. Sometimes I'm his
Flittle sister," then again--"sweet-
heart" Miss Fairfax, I've just about
given up this idea Of being a good
pal to him for I feel guilty, not
knowing whether this other girl
cares for him. He gets peeved If l
go out with other fellows Che doesn't
go with any one else in Omaha that
I know of and that's what has got
me guessing, what DOES he mean?
He said he had something to tell me,
but didn't think he had the right to,
but would some day.
l had gone with him for about a
month before he told me Of this 9TH
er girl-in the meantime he talked
as though he were as free as-I am.
I won't make any engagements with
him till / hear what you have to
say, for whatever you say goes. Re-

to him-that's what I call it, or in
other words good pal" I've just
about decided that all men are alike.

tend that they are just as square
with you as you are with them. !

Are they all alike. Miss Fairfax?

You must have an understanding
with your soldier friend. II you
really do not care for him, 1t would
be better for you to dismiss him en-.
tirely, but if you like him and be-
lieve he does not care for the other
girl, then it Is best for you to ask
him not to call on you again until
he has made his position clear tc
the girl at home.
You ask If all men are alike. In
some respects, yes; but all are not
good-or bad. Plenty Of samples
of each variety in graduated degrees

Mineral Matter In the Diet
Economics)
The time is here for me to save
The Juice from off the greens,
For herein lies the best there is
In spinach and string beans.
Without the mineral in my food
I could not life retain,
And so I'll save the part of it
That oft goes down the drain.
III eat the beet and turnip tops,
The dock and dandelion,
And all the fruits and vegetables
That I can get my eye on.
Then, too, I'll have both milk and
eggs,
For they are rich and rare,
And then to save the mineral,
My potatoes I'll not pare.
But all the breads and breakfast
foods
I must not here omit,
For when from the unhulled grains
they're made
They're mineral quite bit.
The all important point is this,
! must have mineral matter,
And I'll eat anything that has it,
From purslane to hard water.

For the purpose of exterminating
the gophers, a poison campaign was
suggested. Feeding demonstrations
with the use of substitute feeds and
organizations among the farmers for
cooperative buying was suggested as
a means of overcoming the high price
evil.

do so to attend the meeting of the
Shawnee county farm bureau in the
