Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruh

The only sure way to get rid OF dan
dr,lff is to dissolve it, then you destroy IT
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
il 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
il not oil, 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 oil itching and

vour hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy,
silky and soft, and look and feel hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug

ELBOW ROOM.

Census figures showing that Cochrane
county, Texas, with an area OF 500 square
miles, has 81 inhabitants, whereas 1t had
65 ten years ago, call attention TO the tact
that despite our 105, 900, 900 inhabitants
We still have in America plenty OF elbow
room for the homeseeker or nomad whose
temperament is that of the pioneer.
There is room for several hundred mil
lions in the continental area OF the United
States without crowding. Our los, 100000
constitute the advance guard OF popula-
ton which one day will SO develop the
resources of this country that the prob
lens of internal improvement, such as
highway building and river transportation,
will be simplified by reason OF vastly IN
creased assessable values as the basis OF
revenues for roads and vastly increased
quantities of freight originating along the
natural waterways
We are accustomed to speaking OF the
growing density of population In Amer
lea, but even in the older States density
of population as the term is understood
in some of the European and some OF the
Asiatic countries is found nowhere IN
America save in cities.
