DANDRUFF SURELY
DESTROYS 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 gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it,
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel hundred
times better You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. 1t is mex
pensive and four ounces is all you will
need. no matter how much dandruff
you have. This simple remedy never
fails.-Adv.

Ohio Courts Must Decide
Hov Dry State Will Be

COLUMBUS, March 81. - Nobody
knows how dry Ohio will be after May
27.
1t will up to the courts to decide
whether the state will be bone dry,
dry. damp or downright wet.
That is because the house did not
pass the emergency clause of the
Crabbe prohibition enforcement bill.
Since the senate is expected to take
similar action, the law cannot take eff
feet until November because there I'M
doubtedly will be a referendum on it.
The courts will have to say whether
liquor regulations will be in force
after May 27. Drys suggest they may
file injunctions in Common Pleas
Court These cases could be carried
to the Supreme Court and, if granted,
sale of liquor would be contempt of
court.

NEW YORK, March 21.-The com.

petitions calling for a popular vote

fled the amendment the ratification
