The Easiest Way
 To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it: This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, 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 dandruf will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, 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. 1ustrous. 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 four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail

Washington, D. c., July 30.-"Bet-

This is the slogan of national bet
ter livestock crusade, to get actively
in motion October 1, that is announced
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, working in cooperation
with the State agricultural colleges
and other agencies interested in live
stock improvement. The campaign
looks worward to the future food
needs of this country's increasing pop
ulation and results from long and
careful observation of the livestock
industry in this country, and was
planned after extensive consultation
with specialists and breeders. The
plan is to hasten the replacement of
the multitude Of scrub domestic ami
mails in the United States with pure
bred or high grade stock, and also to
improve the quality of pure breds
themselves. The goal in view is great
er efficiency in production.
The campaign will be the first or
ganized crusade in large country to
improve all i've stock simultaneously.
1t will interfere in no way with any
work in live stock improvement now
being conducted, but makes all the
work more definite and effective by
providing recognition for progressive
breeders.
The campaign will be supervised
from the Department of Agriculture
in Washington, and in each State bv

ty agents and other field workers of

the meagre earnings of the railroads
in the period from 1907 to 1914 and
the loss of credit due to their i'm
poverished condition, probably all Of
those those cars would have been re-
newed with modern cars within that
time. AS the railroad disabilities ex-
tended to 1917, it is fair to assume
that very little was done in the re-
placement of those cars up to the
time the Government took over the
properties. Those wooden cars were
uneconomic, being deficient both in
carrying and cubic capacity, too weak
to meet the strain when interspersed
with cars of modern construction, and
further loss of efficiency was suffered

quent and extensive repairs. The pre-
war cost of maintaining those inef-
ficient cars averaged about $3.50 per
annum, as against $50 per annum for
modern steel under-frame or all-steel
cars. 1t is safe to say that all those
847, 1000 cars, except those that were
no longer fit to run, are still in SER
vice, and that their war cost of main
tenance is in the enighborhood of $500
per annum.
"There was deficiency of $446 ,000-
900 in car replacement in the period
from 1908 to 1914, inclusive. At the
prices current in the year 1915, those
cars could have been replaced new at
cost of $847 ,OOO, 900. At current
prices the cost would now be $2,445,-

conclusion was reached that the de-

has not been improved since
then, it is a safe assumption that IL
will require $4,000 per mile of main
line to bring the railroad structure up
to the required status at this time, or
$3.50, 100000 on the basis of pre-war
cost. Assuming the present cost, the
amount would be double or 81 $50, ,000,-

Notwithstanding the increase of
twenty-five per cent in freight rates
and approximately fifty per cent in
rates, ordered by the Rail-
road Administration, effective June 25,
1918, there is deficit to the Govern
ment under it's guarantee, up to and
May of this year, amounting
to $451, 100000. 1t is thus evident |
that there must be another increase in
rates, and the public can not have
much hope of any reuction in these
rates until the depreciation of the ply

the past thirteen years has been made
good. The experience of the past few
years has doubtless convinced the pub
