Simple Way To
 End Dandruff

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 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, no matter how much dandruff 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 and soft. and look and feel hundred times better.

BY Premier Yesterday.

London. April 17.-While opin-

With the exception Of the Laborite
and Northcliffe newspapers, none
OF the morning journals condemns
the premier's statement wholly
while several warmly applaud it,.
These admit that Lloyd George
revealed nothing of the peace terms
but they do not complain.
The Telegraph, for instance, saws
that his general account Of the
terms will give deep satisfaction
and adds that "he demolished the
whole structure his critics built on
his supposed departure from his
prediction pledges
The Express declares its full he
lief in the premier's statement
that his pledges will be found en-
bodied in the peace terms and says
that he retains the complete conf
dence of the nation.
The Mail, owned by Lord North
cliffe, confines its comments vir-
tually to the premier's gross dia-
tribe" against Lord Northcliffe.

DIVORCE FROM
CROWN PRINCE
Cruelty Made Grounds
for Decree Says
Mother-in-law.

Zurich, April 1.-THE former
German Crown Princess Cecile has
taken steps to divorce her husband,
Frederick William, according to a
statement given to Swiss news
papers by the former Grand Ouch
ess Anastasie of Mecklenburg-
SChwerin, mother of the former
crown princess. The statement says
that it long has been the desire OF
Cecile to divorce her husband but
that the pressure of the Hohenzol-
lern family up to this time had pre-
vented her from carrying it out.
The statement of the grand
duchess charges Frederick William
with cruelty to his wife, saying:
'On one occasion some time ago
the situation became so unbearable
that my daughter actually fled from
her home. She almost succeeded in
reaching Switzerland. Orders were
sent from Berlin to intercept her
and she was captured at the Ger
man frontier like a common crim1n
al and taken to Berlin under arrest.

vulge the details of the provisions
of the proposed treaty while speah-
ing in the chamber of deputies yes

indicate that no intimatiOn of the

a very brief period.

The question of the United States
becoming mandatory for Armenia

powers also to ask this country to

to some members of the American
commission.
Albania has appealed to Premier
Clemenceau, as president of the
peace conference. asking for con-

there is a willingness that the
United States should assume control
of government affairs. at least until
the little country has organized its

GOV. HARDING
CENSURED, BUT
NOT IMPEACHED
House Beats Attempt
to Gust Governor
in Rathbur1 Case.

| Des Moines, Iowa, April 17.-Gov-
| ernor w l.. Harding was censured
/ for his action in the Rathbun par
/ don case in a resolution adopted by
| the Iowa house of representatives
early today, marking the defeat of
efforts to impeaCh him.
With the case of the chief execu-
tive disposed of. the house turned
its attention to the phase relating to
Attorney General II. N. Havner, and
before its forenoon session conven-
ed at $50, it was indicated prompt
action was likely in his case.
Two reports of the judiciary com
mittee were before the house re-
garding Havner-the majority re-
port recommending his eXOneratiOn,
and the minority recommendation
for his censure for his methods in
pardoning Rathbun.
Minority Report Substituted.
The deciding vote on the Harding
case came a few minutes before l
a. m. The minority recommendation
for censure of the governor was
substituted for the majority report
urging mpeaChment, seventy vot
ing for and thiTty-four against the
substitution. with four members alb
sent or not voting.
Immediately after the substitute
resolution had been adopted. the
minority report-ip the guise of the
majority repOrt-was accepted by
acclamation. terminating the legls-
lative inquiry into Harding'S part
in the pardon case.
Harding Ill. But Pleased.
Governor Harding, seriously III,
heard the verdict of the house with
in a few minutes and gave out the
following statement to the AssOciat-
ed Press:
Il am pleased over the result Of
the vote in the house. No man in
Iowa has had to submit to more
severe political persecution than
have I. NV enemies are well known.
Their hand is not covered and soon
er or later their conspiracy will be
laid bare to the people of Iowa"
During the closing hours OF de-
bate, much of the attack of Harding
supporters was centered on the
Des Moines Register and Tribune.
The minority report adopted
makes these points in its con
clusions":
THE evidence fails to show that
the governor was prompted by any
corrupt or Interior motive or pur-
pose in granting the pardon.
He acted hastily and without
such investigation as the |
of the matter demand |
ed
There is no evidence in the rec !
ord to show that Governor Harding |
acted wilfully or was guilty of mis- !
demeanor or malfeasance in his Of |
fee. !
"The reasons for the granting of /
the pardon. given by the governor |
in his report to the legislature on |
the seventh day of February. 1919. |
are insufficient to justify his act .
and should not be approved.
Wherefore, we hereby recon- !
mend that his report be not approx
ed and that it is the sense of the !
house that he be censured for his /
hasty action in granting said par
dom and that a copy of this report
be communicated to the governor
by the chief clerk of this house" /
