Try This If You
Have Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruf completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces Of plain. ordinary
liquid arvon; 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
dandrun will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
~ dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of it. no matter
how much dandruff you mayhave.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and YOU hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft. and
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. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.

SAFER THAN RAILROADS.
Harpers.

Yes, it is a new idea that the air.
plane is a safe means of transporta-
ton in safe hands, yet it is ar idea
that we must firmly get into the
popular mind. The average citizen is
still frightened at the prospect of
leaving the ground and having no
support except the air itself. Yet at
the speed which we expect an air.
plane to maintain-70 to so miles an
hour-there Is no means of trans
portation that is so safe. The OBJ
structions that aus accidents with
trains and automobiles do not exist
follow a definite track, which may be
obstructed or the slightest d%islocation
of which may cause a frightful ca
lamity. The airplane is not so cir
cumscribed-its tracks are wherever
it wishes to go. There are no OBJ
structions in the air-unless we re-
gard lair pockets as such-no
bridges to ross nc mountains to
penetrate. no signals to run by, and
no switches to be misplaced. Or
compare this new craft to the rough
road of, the automobile. The slightest
mistake or eve ~inattention on the
so miles an hour, may hurl the ma
chine over q precipice or overturn it
on an embankment. But such a lapse
on the part of an aviator has no such
d%eplorable results: there are no
precipices to fall from and no OBJ
structions to collide with. The air.
plane is even safer than some, forms
of water travel. The motorboat, GO
ing at a speed Of 40 miles an hour, or
even slower, is a more risky form of
transportation than an airplane. If
such a boat strike even a small OBJ
struction, such as a floating plank, it's
side is punctured and it sinks in a
few seconds. But there are no such
dangers in the air.
