there is superabundance of snow and
rain in February there is too much Of
what would be good thing in modera-
ton, and floods where they are leSst
welcome.

.Dandrufy Heads
 Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of daHdruff, for it will starpe your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't de much good to tEy to brush or wash it cut. The enfY sure way to get rid of dandruH is to dissolve 1t, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arxen; apply it at night when re tiringi use enough to mofsten the scalp aad rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, af your dandruH 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 hundred times better You can get liquid arxon at any drug store It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you win need, no matter how much dandrun you have. This simple remedy never fails
