1t is an offense. to the humanitarian

Dandruf Soon
Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty Of
thick, beautiful. glossy, silky hair,
do by all means get rid Of dandruff.
for it will star We your hair and
ruin it if you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is
to dissolve it, then you destroy 1t
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon:
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and
rub 1t in gently with the finger
tips. .
By morning, most il not ali, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace OF it.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop. and your hair will look and
feel a hundred times better. You
can get liquid arvon at any drus
store. 1t Is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no mat
ter how much danGruff you have
This simple remedy never fails

be finished until next fall.
Two new teachers, possibly more
