Washing Won't Rid
Head Of Dandruf

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve 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 it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight. and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more APP
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it. no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find TOO. that all itching
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. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.-Adv.

SANTA CLAUS AT ELkS
Topeka Riddles Asked to Write Santa
in Care of Local Club.

Topeka Riddles Asked to Write Santa
in Care of Local Club.
Topeka kiddies who want something
for Christmas and that of course in
cludes every kiddie under II years
old in the city, have been asked by
Santa Claus to write to him in care of
the Ellxs, Topeka, and state what they
most desire. &
Santa is already packing his bag to
party, and he wants to know in adj
vance what will most delight the
hearts of the Topeka kiddies. He
wants the letters sent to the Elks' club
before next Wednesday night, so that
the messenger he is going to send
there at that time will get them, and
he can made his selections ac-
cordingly.
Santa figures that the average boy
in Topeka would like a pocket knife
and the average girl a doll. but he
wants his judgment confirmed.
Santa protested last year when he
discovered that the Elks' club wasn't
big enough to accommodate all the
kiddies and the Elks who wanted to
come to his party there. So this year
the Elks are going to put up their tree
and hold their entertainment in the
city auditorium.
There is going to be lot of music
by an orchestra. the Elks' Meister-
singers, and Dean Stearns is going to
play the big organ.
There will be plenty Of room at the
party for all the Elks and their FAM
lilies, and in addition, all the kiddies
under II in the CITY.

Oats gained 5-o to l cent and provisions varied from 2 cent decline to 5 cent increase.
 An upturn m values commenced the moment estimates were posted snow ing that hopes of enlarged supplies here had again been without suffl- cient basis. Firmness in the hog market tended likewlse to strengthen corn, and so too did improvements in eastern shipping conditions.
 Word that 4UU,00U bushels of oats had been taken for export helped the oats market to advance.
 Falling off in demand for meats was apparent enough to offset m provisions any decided sympathy with the upturn ot grain.

New York, Feb. 19.-The local mar ket for raw sugar continued weak and prices were lower. There were sales for some Cubas for February shipment at 9 Ia cents cost and freight equal to 108 centrifugal and it was rumored business had been put through below this level. There was also a sale of 10000 bags ot Porto Ricos for prompt clearance at 10 cent C. l. F. which is about on the basis of 9 cents for Cubas cost and freight. Prices at the close were nominal.
 There were no changes in refined sugar locally, which are listed at from 15 to Is cents for fine granu- lated but an out port reflner was said to have reduced his pricc from 16 to 14.75 for fine granulated Transportation conditions were said to be improving and distribution or sugar is expected to increase soon

EARLY DECLINE IN COTTON FOLLOWED
 BY PRICE RALLIES

New York, Feb. 19.-The cotton market was less active today but early declines were followed by ral- lies on covering for over the ap- preaching three-day adjournment. The close was steady, net 15 points higher to one point lower with near months relatively firm.
 There appeared to be good deal of nervousness at the start owing to disappointing Liverpool cables. the unsettled opening of the stock mar ket and overnight selling orders brought in by yesterdays talk of an easier spot basis. The opening was lower but Liverpool was mod . crate buyer of old crop months on the early decline and prices steadied on covering by recent sellers. Busi- ness did not become active but offer ings were light and prices gradually worked upward. The close was few points off from the best under req lizing. Both American markets will remain closed from Friday night until Tuesday morning while Liver pool will be open on Monday and the bulk of today's business was attri- buted to the evening up of commit ments.

New Orleans Cottcn.

New Orleans, Feb. 19.-The fluc- tuations in cotton today carried the market from moderate net declines in the early trading to moderate net advances in the late trading. It was much of a trading market and busi- ness was plainly restricted by the triple holidays following the close tomorrow in observance of the ,anni- versary of the birth of Washington. Last prices showed net gains of five to 24 points.
 Unsatisfactory cables, the easier feeling reported in the cotton goods markets of this country and the bet. ter weather over the belt stimulated the selling of the session. The buying power came mainly from the better turn taken by labor condi- tions through the settlement of the dock strike here and the settlement arrived at in the railroad labor dis .pute. Spots were unchanged at 39.75 for r1iddling.
