maj rate of increase to take care Of

employment the numbers increased, ex-
cept IN the cases of freight and pas
senger enginemen, firemen. conductors,

rose from S153 ,O39, ,999 in December,
1917, to $230,S00,000 last January, with

pay of only one class, general officers.

ployes was greatest in the territory
where the war traffic had been con-
centrated, notably in the Allegheny
region, where the increase was 15.4
per cent. The number and percent

Try This If You
Have 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 gent
~ with the finger tips.
BY morning. most if not all, IF
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de
stroy every single sign and trace Of
il. 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

Wallace Clark, Mr.. Trainor's part
ner. also were present, the witness
said.
Mr.. Shank explained. according TO
the witness, that he had asked for
the conference for the purpose of
inquiring of Trainor and Clark
whether they could assist in selling
the speedway hospital property to
the government for hospital pur-
poses.
