Washing Won't Rid
Head Of Dandruf

The only sure way to get rid OF
dandruff is to dissolve Il 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 ali. of your dandruff
will be gone. and three or four
more applications viii completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of It, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging Of the scalp VIII
stop at once, and your hair will be
fluffy. Iustrous. glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel hundred
times better.
| You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-(AdY4

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much aIkaIi. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle and ruins it,
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseiess),
and is better than anything else
you can use.
One or two teaspooufuls Of Mulsi-
fed will cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moiFten the hair
with water and rub it in. Il makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lath-
er. which rinses out easily, renOv-
ing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruR and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly aid evenly. and
it leaves the scalp soft, and tie
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy TO manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo TT any pharmacy, it's
very cheap, and a few ounces will
supply every member of the family
for months. Be sure your druggist
gives you Mulsifed (Ady.)

For there will be present al Kansas City most distinguished rep resentatives of the nations victorious in the World War who will voice the new aspirations toward world peace of the countries they represent.

 Foremost among the distinguished guests of the Legion will be Marshal Ferdinand Foch of France, general issimo of the allied armies during their march to victory. Marshal Foch by his recent utterances has shown his capacity for leadership in peace as well as in war, and his first greet ings to the men in civilian clothes whom he formerly knew in uniform, will be an important historical event Marshal Foch took part in many of the ceremonies which marked the re- cent .triumphal progress of the Amer ican Legion 'smission through the bat tie towns and principal cities of France, and his speeches at Tarbes his homeplace, and Flirey, the town that symbolizes Lorraine redeemed presage the interest which his re- marks before an audience in American will have.
 With Marshall Foch will be Admiral Sir David Beatty, commander of the British fleet, whose sentiments to- wards America and Americans are well known Admiral Beatty has given several formal assurances ot his intention to attend the convention He is to be the personal guest of g Kansas City citizen who has just re turned from London with a message
