new bank was being formed in New
York. Young Dawson wanted to 20 to
New York, He wanted to 20 very
badly. In fact, he made up his mind
that he must get position in this new
bank.
Armed with letter from one Of
his directors who knew tho, cashier,
lie took the afternoon train to New
York and handed in the letter
Tho cashier treated him most corr
dially-so cordially that the young
man left smiling, altho without any
job.
His smiles wore off when he got into
the train homewarl bound and thought
matters over. .@
But he was not 50 easily licked !:
Next afternoon. when the bank closed,
he again boarded New York train.

prised to see him back again accord

that his employer was dressing to 70

On entering the room the cashier

Dandruf Surely

Girls-ifyou want plenty of thick,
beautiful. glossy, silky hair, do by ali
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub 1t is gently
with the finger. tips.
By morning, most.if not all. Of your
dandruf will be gone. and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel q
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It /.
inexpensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dand-
ruff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.
