You Can't Brush Or
 Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary li- quid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finge rtips.
 Do this tonight, and 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, too, that all itch ing and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your 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. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.

 First he quit eating solids. For two or three months he ate nothing but milk. In those days he used to drink from half gallon to q gal lon of milk every day. But he got no better, or rather, he got better so slowly that he determined to quit eating altogether.
 For 28 days. now, Harris has not taken drink of milk, even. He drinks water. and that's all. Every day he drinks from two quarts to fonr quarts of water.
 "Just take drink of water when want it." he says q don't drink it because I think I ought to. Don't dr;rk it only when I want it. either

 People eat too much, anyway" says Mir. Harris. "Of course, I didn't think that way always. l used to have three meals every day-and big ones. too. I thought I needed them.

 Going to start in drinking milk Expect to keep that up week ol two, kinder getting my system used to taking nourisment. Then. grad. ually, I'll take some solid food.

Brief Account of Sermons
Preached at Local Churches

soever shall lose his life for my sake,
shall save it," Matt 1926.
This is the law of indirectness. The
best things in life do not come to one
as a result of seeking them directly,
but they come by indirectness as
result of and as reward for some
duty we'll done and service gloriously
rendered.
Many people make failure of their
lives because they do not understand
this law If one seeks pleasure for
it's own sake they will live miserable
lives, The happy people are the ones
who make others happy. The most
permanently successful business is the
one so wisely conducted as to render
the best service.
Beware Of the slogans; Pleasure
for it's own sake; art for arts sake
truth for truths sake virtue for
virtues cake and SO on. These all
violate the principle Of indirection
which holds good of all higher things.
The best art is not that which was
done for arts sake, but for Jesus sake
and humanity's sake. Witness the i'm
mortal work of Raphael, Angelica and
Michael Angelo.
The best music was not composed
for music's sake, but for the sake OF
| singing the songs of love and grace.
| delssohn's Elijah Eanders Messiah
Gounod's Redemption and Wagner's
| 'Parsival.' The best oratory is not
| that resulting from a study of elocu-
ton or from a desire to achieve world
fame but that which is the outporing
1 OF the heart moved with a great pas
| sion Witness Demosthenes, Paul.
| Spurgeon. Beecher and Webster
'"rhe most helpful truths have not
been discovered by abstract reasoning.
but they have been discovered by
those who sought it for GODS sake
and humanity's sake. Witness Gal
| lileo, Newton, Fulton and others. The
greatest inventions have been in
spired by necessity and desire to bene-
fit the race. Heroism is never sell
fish. The hero is the one who forgets
himself for others sake. Honors come
to those who are not seeking honors.
The good man is the one who thinks
=, nothing of his own goodness, but has
! a tremendous and earnest desire to
| help others
when Jesus would tell poor, fallen
| Peter how to reach the heights, he
! laid down no abstract principles, but
said, Lowest thou me?' The way TO
| be a good man is to love the Master
and the cause of right.
| The same law holds true of saliva
| tion. The man who seeks TO save his
own life will lose it, but the one who
will trust to Jesus and then do hts
| hest to please the Master and serve
his brethren will be saved.
Who seek for heaven alone to save
the soul
May keep the path, but will not reach
the goal
While he who walks in love may wan
der far
But God will bring him where tho
Blessed are"
