would meet all requirements and
would eliminate the danger now
threatening all traffic whenever an
alarm is turned in.
Another strong argument in favor
of the city selling the building is the
increased value of real estate, and the
urgent demand for business houses in
North Topeka.
Mayor Corwine, in short talk,
placed this fact plainly before the peo-
pie. The postoffice block is the COM
ing business block on the North side,
and with the increasing demands for
business houses, it behooves North
side business interests to take advan-
tage of every opportunity for enlarg
ing the business section.
A committee composed of F. o.
Morns. E. R. Hayes, Fred Buechner,
Roy Boast and Hall Williams. was ap-
pointed to lay the matter before May
or Corwine and the city commission
ers
The same committee was instructed
to investigate rumor in regard to the
discontinuance of the Sunday band
concerts at Garfield park, and to pro-
test against the same.

A Sure Way To
End 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, apply 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
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.-Ady.

sufficient to warrant al least one place

FIRE RISKS.

VIII Check "Bootleggers.'

The determination Of Delaware nu-
thoritics to end the traffic in Illicit liquor
will meet with approval everywhere IN
this State, and the people will insist TINT
the work once undertaken in earnest,
must be carried to n successful issue. The
''bootlcggers" and illicit dealers have
been openly defying tho laws. and day
after day, for weeks and months, hnve
carted their liquor through the State
from some point in Maryland or further
south. The federal and State laws are
drastic enough to meet all conditions and
10 stamp out this lawless traffic, ana
neither Delaware nor the United States
can afford to be openly fouted by law
breakers, and must put an end to all lm-
pertinent defiance Of our statutes.

or as baggage by psuedo-psesengefs on
