"LES MISERABLES-

IN the uOctOr once
In long and dismal row
Wait the patients there to tell him
Tales Of misery and woe.
Faces gloomy and foreboding;
On the ear no laughter breaks
Naught but low or smothered signing
From this crowd of pains and aches.
Furtively they eye each other.
Or, perhaps below their breath,
One or two, exchanging troubles,
Bore the rest about to death.
Meanwhile from the inner Office
Floats a voice of querulous tones
Keyed by daily anguish of some
Poor rheumatic bag of bones.
So In turn they lay before him
All the suffering they endure
And then hopefully expect him
To perform miraculous cure.
Soothing. steadying, the physician
Calmly looks at bilious tongues.
Counts the pulse and studies closely
Action of the heart and lungs
Best of all he listens kindly
While their ailments they reveal;
Reassuring. sympathetic.
Lets them tell him how they feel
And they go out from his presence.
All OF their respective ills
Much relieved before they've swal.

On the good physicians shoulders
Everybody loads a pack

Hump the tabled Atlas back

out OF office hours and far
From his counsel room, he doesn't
Stop and ask them how they are.

Combing Won't Rid.
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff 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 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, 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.

What do you think?
Here's the way l look at It:
They Are Not Business Rivals
The first and foremost cause OF dis

that they are either in business togeth-
CT IN one house or rivals in the same
business in two houses.
Looking after a home. looking AFTER
her own charms. and looking after emil
