When Irving Berlin or Bill Smith,
or whoever it was, wrote his song
about the cold Ford That Rambled
Right Along" maybe he had in mind
the Ford coupe that belonged to A
R. Buchiester, of Sa1ina. Buchiester's
Ford rambled so much that it landed
at the Topeka police station. And the
peculiar thing about it was that 1t in
creased in value as it rambled.
Brier & Rice, local insurance firm,
paid Buchiester in hard cash for the
Ford when it was stolen from him in
the Tong, long ago" And when Capt
Jesse Hill, of the Topeka police, got
onto its trail he traced it directly to

Sure Way To Get
Rid OF DandruH

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this. just get
about four ounces or plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply 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 complete
ly 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 in
stantly, and your hair will De fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred tines better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store and four ounces is all you
will need. This simple remedy has
never been known to fail.-Adv.
