The only sure way to get rid Of dand-

ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently

matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You win find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once.
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 never fails
to do the work.

BLUE LAWS
DEAD ISSUES
Attorney General Havner Of Iowa
Says He Does Not Intend to
Enforce Statutes This
Year.

DIES MONIES. Jan. 1.-THE prob
ability of a strict enforcement OF
Iowa's blue laws unless the meas.
ures are repealed by the thirty
eighth general assembly is slight,
Attorney General II. NJ. Havner said.
Rumors have spread over the
state, and especially in Des Moines,
that the blne laws were to be strict
" enforced unless they were re-
peaied at this session OF the legis.
lature.
MI. Havner denied Saturday that
he contemplated any such enforce
ment in the event the Legislature did
not act.
AS yet there has been no move in
either the house or senate looking
toward a repeal of these laws. Action
along this line was started at the
session two years ago, but fell by
the wayside and never was passed.
Strict enforcement would mean the
closing on Sunday of every sort of
commercial establishment, including
drug stores, ice cream parlors, res
taurants, cigar stores, and even pro-
hibit the running Of street cnrs, it
is said.

important to keep clean and pure on
