Cornbing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

n
The only sure way to get rid of dam;
ruff is to dissolve it. then you destroy
entirely. To do this, get about ROY
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; aPp.a
it at night when retiring; use enough
moisten the scalp and rub it in genu'
with the finger tips. j
Do this tonight, and by morning mos
if not all, Of your dandruff will be gona;
and three or four more applications W,
completely dissolve and entirely desire
every single sign and trace of it. Y
matter how much dandruff you ne
have.
You will find, too, that all itching an
digging of the scalp will stop at one
and your hair will be fluffy, lustfoeu
glossy. silky and soft, and look ana ~
a hundred times better. -,
You can get liquid arvon at any a ls;
store. It is Inexpensive and never iai
to do the work.

HANplcAPs OF KINGS.

Theodore Roosevelt, in Letter
Written to Sir George Otto Trevelyan:
I said above that | doubted whether
the sovereigns cared to see me. am
now inclined to think that they did, as
a relief to the tedium, the uull. mar
row routine oil their lives. I shall al
ways bear testimony to the courtesy
and good manners, and the obvious
sense OF responsibility and duty, Of
the various sovereigns / met. But Of
course, as was to be expected, they
were like other human beings in that
the average among them was not very
high as regards intellect and force. In
deed the kind of driving force and
energy needed to make a first-lass
president or prime minister great
general or war minister, would be sim
gularly out of place in the ordinary
constitutional monarch. Apparently
what is needed in constitutional
king is that he shall be kind of sub
'limated American vice-pIesident; plus
being socially at the head of that
part Of his people which you have
called "the free nasons of fashion"
The last function is very important;
and the kings lack Of political power,
and his exalted social position, alike
cut him Off from all real comradeship
with the men who really do the things
that count; for comradeship must inn
ply some equality, and from this
standpoint the king is doubly barred
from all that is most vital and inter-
esting. Politically he can never rise
to, and socially he cannever descend
to, the level OF the really able men of
the nation. | cannot imagine a more
appallingly dreary life for a man of
ambition and power.
The kings whom I saw were not as
a whole very ambitious or very force
full, though fine, honest, good fellows.
and the monotony of their lives evil

You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean, and the md
ment you feel an ache or pain in III
kidney region, get about four ounce
of lad Salts from any good dru
store here, take tablespoonful in
glass OF water before breakfast 70

stood as what has been called
universal training" 1t does not
mean that young men are to be
placed in the army for a year or
two. II does not mean that they
are to be withdrawn from their
regular pursuits. II means that
there is to be some sort OF mill
tary drill among the young men
OF today. This may be in high
schools or colleges, OF in some
other way. 1t does not mean
great permanent standing army
in the Prussian plan. 1t means
that healthy young fellows are
to be developed physically and to
be brought to manhood.
Speaking of military training.
His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons,
has said:
1.-THE discipline which the
young men will acquire will de-
velop them morally and physi-
cally. The regular hours OF lis
ing and retiring, taking of simple
and nourishing food, and the out
door exercise cannot fail to i'm
prove their general health. Az
other advantage Of the discipline
is to instil into them a spirit or

obedience to lawful authority, the
virtue we have seen to be fire.
Quently disregarded in our land
of freedom. 1t will teach them
that there is dignity associated
with obedience TO God from
whom all authority comes"
In a long published letter from
the, Cardinal addressed to the
National Security league, he
gives other reasons for universal
training.
The physical argument is one
of the strongest. Take the SOL
diers OF the great world war, for
example. They carry themselves
better than the young men who
were not fortunate enough to be
soldiers. You can pick the young
fellows out on the street by the
way they walk. They have the
bearing of manly men. These
qualities are not acquired IN any
way other than military train
ing. During the first fifty years
of the republic there was mill
tary training. The patriots OF
those times had their training
days even in farm neigh borhoods.
Military training was not thought
to be dangerous then. 1t Is not
dangerous now.

course, in advance of declaration Of party pol
BEAUTY AND INTELLIGENCE.

1t is not generally supposed that the silly sea-
son has arrived on either side OF the Atlantic,
but doubtless that has become period not sub
ject to seasonable influences. There are alarm
ing evidences in these times that Stiffness is like
women's furs, an all -year-round phenome-
non. Anyway, London is reported to be exer-
cised over one of those random foolish questions
which afford the opportunity for practically
continuous public debate. The question of the
over there is: ''Are pretty women in
tclligent7'
There must be pitiful paucity of subjects
for discussion when question so ancient and
noss-grown as this can be revived with serious
consideration. Probably it is rooted in popu-
lar masculine theory, prejudice or superstition,
belief on the part of many mere men that a
pretty woman naturally devotes herself to the
business of being pretty and so has no time left
for the cultivation of intellect. It is SUPPOSE
ton that one cannot absorb intelligence while
standing in front of mirror and concentrating
thoughts on the adornment of beauty, but it lg-
nores the correlative possibility that uginess
may also pass hours before the mirror sorrow
fully regretting the absence of beauty and SO
suffer mental atrophy no less pronounced.
There is certain type of 'prettiness, prob
ably, that may be regarded SIS fairly sure ac-
compartment of a certain degree OF mental
vacuity, but the type is not difficult to recog
nice. pretty woman in this particular, how
ever, may be taken to mean woman who is
noticeably good looking. We interpret it as
standing for beauty in any degree. If that is
the case, the whole question seems to be reduced
ito an absurdity. If we accept the theory that
beauty and Intelligent are Incompatible we have
ito conclude that homely women are invariably
Intelligent It would also be apparent that the
degree of intelligence is in exact ratio to the de-
gree of absent beauty. The world is full of the
opponents of the falsity of any such conclusion.
In fact, there is no substantial reason for APP
plying question Of this sort exclusively to
femi4inity. One might as well consider the
whole proposition and come right out with the
query: ''Are good-looking men ever intelli.

NEW sPAPERS.,

Solomon Buckley Griffin, In North
American Review: The saying that
poets are born, not made" applies
In about equal measure to newspaper
men. / have seen too much Of news
paper offices and men who work in
them not to know that the nose for
news" the instructive and lasting
love for ink, type and presses, is
Others may and do acquire the news
instinct and familiarity with the
things that enter into the production
of newspapers, and such get on, but
there is lacking in them the spur of
compelling love for ones work, the
thing that glorifies service. So the
zest Of great and enduring joy is
not theirs. Out Of this understanding
l have always advised young men
who felt they could be happy in other
callings to eschew the newspaper,
knowing that the hardships It would
impose must irk and depress them,
and SO results be narrowed.
Fortunate is the newspaper that
possesses an atmosphere saturated
with the purpose to render disinter-
ested public service in a self-respect-
ing way. Every worker may con-
tribute to the creation and perpetua-
ton Of such an environment, and he
or she can make no more important
and helpful contribution to the future
of journalism. Such an atmosphere
can be made to permeate the entire
establishment, and it is operative in
calling out the finest qualities that
reporters and editors and all the rest
can bring to the paper. In such an
office the rights of the reader are
made paramount, and this proves a
solvent Of many problems IN the
writing and typographical presenta-
ton of the news. Under the sway OF
this basic point of view it is recog-
nized that the average Of popular in
telligence is much above the dema-
gogic conception of it, and that it
pays for newspapers and politicians
to deal sensiblv and as adequately as
may be with matters Of public con-
Germ. There are happily many news
papers which afford standing illus
trations Of the applicability of this
contention, as well as those that
serve as flaming challengers Of It,
AS a rule of newspaper conduct, too,
it is safe to affirm that in the long
run all problems. quite as much in
the business office as in the editorial
rooms, can be dealt with most advan-
tageously by considering first the
obligation to give the reader full
measure of truthful. painstaking,
bright service every day in the year.
Newspapers were established for
their readers and should be conducted
for them.

ADVOCATES OF UNIVERSAL TRAINING

General Wood is outspoken advocate OF
universal training without prov slon for com
pulsory service. Now Gerard comes out open
~ i'll support OF the same policy. Palmer is
practically committed to it and Governor Low
den has often argued that IN it lies not only ma
tlonaL safety but national welfare through its
lenocratizng Of the body of young men.
Pershing is the real sponsor for the bill present
ed by Senator Chamberlain and Representative
Kahn. Hoover warmly supported the idea Of
universal training when it was first proposed.
Poindexter is a warm supporter of the Cham
berlain- Kahn bill, but johnson has not publicly
committed himself Southern democrats are
opposed to universal training because of their
objection to unifcation of negroes into trained
bodies.
On the whole, the men most prominently be-
fore the public as aspirants to the presidency
are committed to universal service. This, of
