Simple Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruf 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 moistcn 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 dcstrnY every singh.

CONSERVING VALUABLE SOIL
Each County in Iowa Loses Annually
Six Inches of Soil From Top Of
100 Acres of Land.

Problem for the class in intermedi-
ate arithmetic: Find the number of
cubic feet in the top six inches Of soil
from 10000 acres of land.
That sounds sufficiently unrelated to
common experience to be problem In
the Od-tlme school arithmetic, but, as
a matter of fact, it is what Iowa has
been losing every year in the water
that flows over its fields. Specialists
of the United States department of az
riculture, who have worked in various
sections of Iowa during the past sew
eral months, estimate that each coun-
ty in Iowa-and there are an even
hundred of them-loses annually six
inches of soil from the top of LOO
acres of land. Henceforth, these spe-
cialists think, not so much good soil
will be washed away. The recent high
prices of Iowa farm lands. injurious
in some particulars, has been benefi-
cial in causing Iowa farmers to realize
that they cannot afford to permit such
valuable stuff as dirt to be carried
away in rain water.
