Weather Prophets

ET IS said that March usually comes
< in like a lion and goes out like a
IL lamb. Here are a few hints
that will help you to judge The state OF
the weather, so that this changeable
month will not be able to steal
march on you.
a red sky at sunset will mean fine
weather tomorrow"
A red sky in the morning viii mean
wind or rain"
a yellow sky in the evening will also
mean rain tomorrow"
If the sun appears through misty
haze in the morning it means the day
will be warm"
If it is cloudy in the morning but
the clouds begin to break 1t means
the day will be fair
When the stars are very bright and
twinkle more than usual it means
rain in the morning"
If your cat rubs himself behind his
ears more than is his custom or is rest
less and lies with his back to the fire
YOU can usually tell that bad weather
is coming.
With these hints in MIND GU should
all be little weather prophets and
March should never be able 10 catch
you unawaFes.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty Of thick, beautiful,
glossy, silky hair, do by all means get
rid Of dandruf, 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 dandruf is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; 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 four
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 a hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.
