Simple Way To
End Dandruf

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruf at
once. and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
Just get about four ounces OF plain
common liquid arvon from any
drug store (this is all you will
need). apply it at night when re-
firing; 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, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instant
". and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times

At the Fort Armstrong.

The 1ong-avaited Rex Ingram
production of THE Four Horse
men of the Apocalypse is now at
the Fort Armstrong. This is the
picture that cost Metro 81 COG. 600
to make, and, from all accounts. the
81 900 900 was well spent, as critics
agree that all other efforts at pro-
duction on a grand scale have been
surpassed and record runs have
been made in New York Chicago.
Boston. Pittsburgh, Detroit, Los
Angeles and other cities where the
picture has been previously shown
Fifty principals and $500 extras
were engaged in the filming of the
photodrama- an entire French vii
lage and an elaborate chateau were
erected to be destroyed under the
artillery bombardment of the Ger
man invaders, and more than 1885,
900 tons of masonry, steel, lumber
and furniture were used in creating
backgrounds that are said to re-
produce with absolute fidelity the
shifting panorama of the story.
The appeal of the story itself has
already been proved through the
success of the novel by Vicente
Blasco Ibanez, upon which the pro-
todrama is founded. It's sale
throughout the world runs into the
millions, but millions more will
probably have it revealed to them
the first time through the medium
of the screen production This pro-
duction is said to have followed
faithfully the epic tale of human
passion against the background of
the great war as related by Ibanez.
