A Simple Way To
Remove 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 (this is all you will need. ap-
ply 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 be fluffy, lustrous, CLOS
sy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.-Advertise

Sea Water for salt.

The use of salt for seasoning and
preserving food is so ancient that the
earliest written records refer to 1t.
For many centuries practically all the
salt used by the human race was pro-
cured by the evaporation of sea water.
This method Of obtaining salt is still
employed in many localities where the
conditions are favorable. A fiat
stretch of sea coast and hot and dry
climate are necessary If salt is to be
gotten from sea water An ideal To-
cality for this industry Is the coast
on the Bay Of Cadiz, Spain. The sea
water is allowed to collect in shallow
basins. AS the water evapOrates the
various salts crystalline out and form
a crust. The edible salt crystallizes
out first and is drained from the other
salts, which are gathered in large
piles where the occasional rains and
the sun help to wash and dry out the
impurities. A considerable part of
the Crude salt is used locally for cur
ing and picking and the remainder is
shipped to refineries.
