Dsndruff Soon
Ruins The Hair

I Girls-if you want plenty of
thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair,
do, by all means, get rid of dam
druff, 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 dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; ap-
ply 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 de-
stroy 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
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It
is inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.

LEAST REASON
FOR HIGH COST

Assistant United States At

Causes for Advance
of Prices.

New York, Feb. 18.-Prohteering
is the last and least of six reasons
Z for the high cost Of living given
today by Howard E. Figg, assistant
United States attorney general, at
the ninth annual convention Of the
National Dry Goods association. He
asserted, however. that some of the
dry goods dealers were guilty Of
prohteering and should be punished
without trial, while he believed all
were guilty of having prohteered,
perhaps unwittingly, at some time
Or other. ts-
"The first reason for present con-
ditions," said the speaker, SIS the
increased volume of money and
credits; second, the wide increase
in wages, due partly to war neces-
sites and government wage scales;
third, lessened world production;
fourth increased cost Of distribu-
tion; fifth, reckless extravaganza
and spirit of speculation, and
sixth, prohteering."

Omaha PLEASED
BY CONCERT OF
BIC ORCHESTRA
Minneapolis Symphony Or.
chestra Plays First Engage
ment Here With Complete
Musical Organization.

| Omaha has learned from past eX-
perience that when the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra, under the di-
rection of Mr.. Emil Oberhoffer,
comes for a symphony concert, that
great musical enjoyment is assured.
| But in all the visits which the or
chestra has paid-Us i'll past years, it
is no exaggeratiop to say that the
concert which was given at the
Municipal auditorium last evening
eclipsed even the greatest of them
and Mi. Oberhoffer and his band OF
artists set new standard for other
orchestras which it will be hard to
maintain. The entire. orchestra
played as if inspired, and with each
successive number new delights
were presented and new beauties
unfolded with all the rare charm of
constnnmate artistry.
In a brief Introductory announce
ment Mr.. Cox called the attention of
the audience to the fact that Mr..
Oberhoffer in choosing his program
played up to the Omaha people
rather than down to them. and as
The program progressed the truth of
this remark was more and more evil
dent. The program was remark
able one. comprising as it did the
great Rachmaninov Symphony and
other, orchestral numbers of great
importance and difficulty, both for
the players and the listeners.
First Omaha Visit.
This is the first time the entire
orchestra has visited Omaha and the
vast wealth OF string tone, the
beauty of the woodwinds and
brasses, and the excellent balance
of the various bands was at once
evident, The orchestra has never
shown up to such excellent advan-
tage. The string sections played
with unity and finish which
brought continual pleasure, the quail
ity of the woodwind was, unusually
beautiful, and 'the warmth and
beauty of the French, horns and
brasses was another Of. the many
excellencies of the orchestra.
The quality of the woodwinds was
manifested from the very first notes
of the overture no the "Midsummel
Nights Dream" by Mendelssohn,
with which the program opened.
These chords were played with great
beauty of tone, precision of attack
and sympathy of ensemble, the de-
light of which was repeated at the
close. This number, which has
been played in Omaha before, cap
tlvated again with the delicate
tfacery of its fairy music and the
subtle charm of its hunor.
Strings and Woodwinds.
The strings as well as the wood
winds played star part and dain-
tiness of the soft work and exquisite
buoyancy was achieved by Mr..
Oberhofer.
The symphony presented was
new one in Omaha, and it proved
to be tremendous number of large

Under verbal cross fire from Mar

he was counsel, but not counselor"

had not influenced his testimony and

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a tablespoonful of Salts
if Back hurts or Bladder
b0therS.

We are a nation of meat-eaters
and our blood is filled with uric
acid. says a .well-known authority,
who warns us to be. constantly on
guard against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritating acid,
but become weak from the over
work; they get sluggish: the elini-
native tissues clog and thus the
waste is retained in the blood to
poison the entire system.
When your kidnevs ache and feel
like e\lumps of lead. and you have
singing pains in the back. or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
the bladder irritable, obliging you to
seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches. nervous
ard dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from vour pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast each morning and
in a few davs your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice; combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to
the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disor-
ders.
lad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent ljthia-water drink, and no.
body can make mistake by taking
1 little occasionally. to keep the kid
news clean and active.
