A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
tailed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (this is all you will
need), 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
dandruf will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find 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.

HOW WHITE WOMAN GAME
NEAR BEING AN INDIAN
Kidnapped by Squaw When a Child,
but Rescued by Mother After
Exciting Chase.

Omaha, Neb.-If Mrs. Josephine
little Indian papoose as she was
| slated TO have b-en, one of Omaha :
! most enthusiastic charity workers ard
night school instructors would be
missing today.
Mrs. Carroll was once slated TO be a
rapoose. 4 squaw so wished her when
her parents were not looking. The
squaw kidnapped the child little
more than half a century ago when
Omaha was buffalo pasture.
There was a rescue But it never
sot into the papers. There We're no
papers TO print thrilling adventures
that occurred around the Missouri
river bluffs in those days. The mother
Mrs. John Godola. walked right out of
the house, stopped the squaw and took
the child away from her. If it we're
today, the movies would have thrjll-
er on the screen about IT, But that
was before Edison or any one else had
thought of making pictures walk ana
talk; also those were the days when
experiences with the Indians We're
many and grotesque. A mere kidnQp-
ping did not attract much attention.
Mrs Carroll's mother lived at what
is now Thirteenth and Farnum SITS.
At that time 1t was neither Thirteenth |
nor Farnam. 1t was just place in
the hills, prairie and timber. The pres |
ent Mrs. Carroll was about 3 years of /
rye. Her mother employed a Young |
Indian squaw as domestic. All was |
fine, but the domestic didn't like to /
work. She liked to play with the baby !
however. The baby took great lik- !
ing to the brown maid
One day the brown maid and the |
baby's mother fell out. Straightway,
The servant was dismissed. Being fred
was a somewhat novel experience to
this brown maiden. She knew princi-
rally that she was expected to Leave
the premises, and that her pay. what
ever that may have been, was to stop.
When the childish prattle was no
longer heard, the mother rushed OFT
lust in time to see the squaw disap-
rearing over the hill with the child.
There was holly contested h3lfmile
race. 1t was a race of the white and
he red White won and the precious
