A Sure 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 (thts 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 dissolve 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 Se fluffy, lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.

 Manager Fuchs stated that although last year the boat was run at a loss of 1000 it is now on a paying basis. The boat is now giving splendid service and is running right on schedule. The passenger accommodation while limited, are excellent.

MONKS MADE FIRST PANCAKES
Delicious ComestibIes Once Formed
Supper of Holy Men on Eve of
Ash Wednesday.

Perhaps you admit ignorance as to
knowing how pancakes first came TO
be produced? Well, the story is very
interesting and worth telling, London
Answers says.
Monks were the originators of pam
cakes, and we are told that on Shrove
Tuesday their supper consisted of thin
cakes. made in n pan with flour. milk.
eggs. fat. lard. etc.-hence pancakes.
The idea was to use up all the food
stuffs remaining. which were pro-
hibited on the following day-Ash
Wednesday, the commencement of
Lent. In the olden days the poor peo-
pie would gather round various mon
astery gates, it being the custom for
the monks to distribute what pancakes
they had left after supper among the
hungry and slum jewellers.
Shrovetfde. and Shrove Tuesday by
the way. were, in the first place. called
shrive days. They were so called from
the fact that In the Roman Catholic
church confessions are then made and
received preparatory to the fast of
Lent. Shrive, which meant confession,
later came to be called Shrove-thus
we now get Shrove Sunday and Shrove
Tuesday.

crops should be so timed that they
will escape frost and yet be started
just as early as possible. The same
planting methods should be followed
as for the extremely early crops.
When Frost 10 Past
The third group of garden crops, or
those that should not be planted until
after danger of frost is past, includes
cucumbers, cantalOupes. Okra, swiss
chard. snap beans. caulifiower and to-
mato plants. The time of setting to-
mato plants. however, will depend
somewhat on whether or not they are
becoming crowded in the plant bed. If
they are not crowded. it may pay TO
delay setting them in the open ground
until the air is thoroughly warmed.
Little is gained by planting this class
Of plants in the open very early.
The fourth group of plants. com
monty known as the heat-loving
plants. includes peppers. elephants.
sweet potatoes and summer squash.
These crops are easily injured by cold
nights and periods Of rainy weather,
and it is always best to delay plant
ing them until safe period has been
reached. 1t could be borne in mind
that certain soils warm up slowly in
the springtime and that such plants
as eggplant and peppers are very sus-
ceptible to injury from cold soils.
