Try This IF You
Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys 1t en-
tireiy. To do this, just get about tour
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
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
dandruf will be gone, and three Or
four more applications viii completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how MUCH
dandruf you may have. ;,
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrouS
glossy, silky and soft and look and ieei
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug

ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to iaiL

THE REAL DEVELOPER.

A fine and sturdy gospel is proffered by
Arthur D. Little in his article, developing
the Estate - which appeared in recent mum
Der Of the Atlantic monthly. Mr. Little takes
facts as they are; the homestead Of the Ameri-
can people is nortgaged, but In good cause;
Just now the hens won't lay and the hired men
all want more money; a new kind of tramp is
prowling around, doing damage and trying to
find iII-minded folk 30 join him in mischief
.Something has got to be done'' Very well,
let's do it, says Mr. Little. And the way he
gees open is indicated by his description Of this
homestead estate Of ours. '"T'he United States
is an aggregation Of undcveloped empires, oc-
cupied by the most wasteful people in the
world, y he says, and there is little argument
to gainsay his statement. Yellowstone park is
three times the size Of Luxembourg, which is a
most prosperous little national unit; California
has 'tspace and climate for new Italy and a
GREATER Greece Turn to our Gulf states; they
are together bigger, richer in resources and
better placed than Germany Holland, Great
Britain together, and Japan thrown in for good

Ill get to work to develop our estate? There is
work for everybody on the estate and for LOT
more people. Wages can be raised when the
estate begins to pay profits where it is now idle
Mr.. Little then suggests in detail many excel
lent ways and means for developing the estate
They are well worth considering
But one underlying necessity Mr. Little doe,

eeTHE VICE OF DEMocRAcIEs. /"

.sVerbosity is the vice Of democracies," as
sers a London essayist and proceeds to quote
from the public speeches Of some American
orators 10 prove the assertion On the whole,
the argument is sound enough but probably an
equally good basis for it could have been found
il the public utterances of British speakers.
The essayist sees vice in the meaningless and
intenperate declarations which are made in
number and variety these days, but the real
objection to verbosity is not 50 much the waste
Of time and energy and the misleading of pub
lie opinion; it is in the blunted PERCEPTION and
inattention which the public clamor begets.
We are talked to so much and so vehemently
that we come to estimate the worth Of it all on
the skill with which it is done; we take the ar
esument for granted without troubling to look
TO it's soundness and devote attention to the
manner in which it is presented There is not
so much danger as the London writer sees in
the misleading Of the public as there is in fail
ure in ability to lead the public at all. No one
ex poets temperate, long considered and care
fully reasoned argument. SO when this is offer
ed it gets scant attention. a new way out Of
trouble and disadvantages is the much desired
thing and any publicist. who says he has found
one, says it loudly, cleverly and frequently, will
eclipse from public attention the prophet of
older tried and less alluring means of making
iconditionsNbetter.

 My Dear Sir-In your last weeks under the heading "Cloeks Will Be Set Ahead II IS possible that when it is done 1t will please the city people but if 1t does 1t pleases no one else. The city resident is continually urg- ing the farmer 10 raise more farm products, hoping by the increased production to get these products at lower prices, not caring if these prices are less than the cost Of pro duction, and when there is chance to help the farmer do this they lose the chance to assist him by consider ing their own personal convenience.
 The daylight saving plan was a great hardship to the farmer, but he said nothing during war times. Now there is no reason for it he feels free ta speak his dissatisfaction and tell of the drawbacks the plan Is to him.
