WOMEN! DRY CLEAN
THINGS AT HOME
Try It'll For few cents you
can dry clean everything.

Save five to ten dollars quickly
by dry cleaning everything in the
home without gasoline that would
be ruined by soap and water-suits,
coats, waists, silks, laos, gloves,
shoes, furs, draperies, rugs-every-
thing.
Place gallon or more of gasoline
in a dishpan or washboiler, then put
in the things to be dry cleaned, then
wash them with Solvite soap. Short
ly everything comes out looking like
new. Nothing fades, shrinks or
wrinkles. Do not attempt to dry
clean without Solvite soap. This gas
oline soap is the secret of all dry
cleaning. ..
A package of Solvite soap con-
tanning directions for home dry
cleaning, costs little at any drug
store. Dry clean outdoors or away

Dandruff Soon
Ruins 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 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 or trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will look and
feel hundred times better. You
can get liquid arvop at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no mat
ter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails
