PRIMARY ACT
IN ILLINOIS
State Supreme Court Holds 1919 Law
constitutional, Thus Restor-
ing Act as Amended
in 1918.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 10
Party machinery in Illinois was wiped
out today by a decision Of the state
supreme court which held the state
primary act of 1919 Unconstitutional.
The decision restores the primary
act as amended in 1918.
Attorney General Brundage De
clared the decision necessitates an
other election OF precinct, county and
state central committeeman and ap-
pelate coure clerks in September.
The decision was blow to Mayor
VIM. Hale Thompson of Chicago, as
it took from him his control Of the
Cook county machinery. 1t leaves IN
doubt the standing OF presidential
electors and trustees OF the Univer
sitv of Illinois who was selected under
the new primary law.
The law was held unconstitutiona'
on the ground that it granted toe
much arbitrary power to the county
committee.
The decision is also believed to IN
validate the election of Illinois fifty
eight delegates to the democratic No
ltional convention.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruf completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, Just get about four
ounces Of plain, ordinary liquid arvon /;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to noisten 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 destroy, every singls
sign and trace of it. no matter how much
dandruff you may have
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp viii stop instantly,
and your. hair will be fluffy, lustrous
glossy, silky and SOFT, and look and feel
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is Inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.
