Womans' ills are her great enemy, as
they cause bad complexion, dark

backache, nervousness, sleeplessness
dragging-down pains and the blues

for such conditions is Lydia Il. PINK

Try This If You
Have Dandruff

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 afvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gen.
thy 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 de-
stroy 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. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.-Adv.

of law or Legislative scrutiny are
causing widespread resentment ana

constitutional power voted the presl-

bring about the defeat of the enemy
and in favor of returning as soon a.,
possible to the careful checks and
balances of the three branches OF

out that such power justified itself IN
the accomplishment OF the end soughl
but that its continuance III peace
times is an unnecessary abuse of priv

conduct of the funds which the peo-
