Simple Way To
End Dandruff

I 4 \
There is one sure way that has never
failed 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
1t in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff 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
daIndruff 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
an and soft, and look and feel hundred
times better.

Christmas giving?
Preliminary arrangements We're
made today for the establishment OF
headquarters down town and for re-
ceiving contributions for the Com
munity Christmas fund. Miss Agnes
Trimble will be in charge of the
work this year, and Miss Elsie Buck
will be the treasurer. In order to
properly stage the community work
at Christmas time, the committee
must have funds. This is their first
formal appeal for money. They are
asking that money be sent to Miss
Buck, as treasurer.
The plans this year are practical
and should meet with the approval
of everyone who believes in real
Christmas giving There will be a
distribution of food baskets, as
usual, but the distribution of cloth
ing will be made upon entirely diff
ferent grounds. The youngsters to
whom clothing will be given will be
brought directly to headquarters and
outfitted there.
All Year Round Fund.
The plans also include year-round
fund, and money which is given at
this Christmas time will be expended
over the entire year, as the commit
tee in charge sees fit. The balance
from last year was $110.55, and the
report Of the treasurer shows dis
bursements as follows:
Children's shoes .....$20.00
Boys trousers ........ 5000
Groceries ........ 15.W
| Sweaters ...... S.25
Underwear, stockings. $3.50
! Blanket ............ $50
/ Figuring everything this year at
! about double the cost, it is easy to
see that it will take considerable
money to make a real Christmas pos
1 sible for the children who otherwise
would have no Christmas. Keokuk
people have been Good Fellows In
the past, and the Community Christ
mas giving has always been done in
| the proper Christmas spirit. Those
in charge are appealing this year OF
