Dandruff Soon
Destroys the Hair

If you want plenty of thick.
beautiful, glossy, silky hair. do
by all means get rid of dandruff,
for II will starve your hair and
ruin Il II you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try
to brush or wash il out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff 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 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
two or three more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it.
You will find. toe. that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will look and
Feel a hundred times better. You
can get arvon at any drug store.
Four ounces is all you will need,
no matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never
fails.-Advertisement.

ROME. May 21.-King George of
England collects stamps; King Victor
Emmanuel of Italy collects coins.
What more natural than that they
should wish to discuss geography and
territorial exchanges!
Rome is wondering what these ex-
changes could be. Before the war
kings were used by their respective
governments on several occasions to
prepare the way fov territorial agree
ments. Italy wants Jubaland. in East
Africa, and will get 1t. There remains
only the question of fixing the from
tiers in such a way as not to disturb
the migratory tribes from finding
their way to the accustomed watering
places.
Italy also wants recognition of her
right to the Cenaculum in Jerusalem,
which the Sultan Of Turkey is sup
l"s"d 10 have given TO the King Of
Italy and the control of which by the
Zionist state is resented by the Cath
olic world
Vatican Visit FIayed.
The visit of King George to the
Vatican provokes much Indignation
of the Methodist campaign here
Catholic newspapers, however. de-
clare the visit shows that the world
has changed. and that the Episcopal
ians are behind the movement for
the unity of Christian churches.
Italy. weak and overpopulated
needs an ally. She would accept any
friendship that would assure her raw
materials. open fields for emigration
and respect for her national pride.
Italians feel the old friendship and
gratitude for Great Britain. Tenn
the British than with the French.
Skeptics declare that the British
royal visit was overdue, and point out
that at the Genoa conference Lloyd
George was enthusiastic over Anglo
Italian friendship at lunchtime, but
forgetful OF it in council.
Speeches Significant.
The speeches of the British and
italian sovereigns. which had been
carefully edited by the foreign Offices.
and the Popes congratulations to
King George on his service in behalf
'of peace and reconciliation point to-
ward a concerted move for European
peace. Italians feel that the French
are trying TO close the roads TO their
desired expansion in the near east
and that Great Britain might help.
But for Italian aid Italians expect
price. Mussolinfs newspaper organ
Popola d'Italia says:
Great Britain being the creative
creditor of both the conquerorS and
conquered, possesses means for eff
fectng settlement and ending the

that the reduction of the German debt

Little Riuer Bridge Memorial
To Harry Clinton Hopkins
GENEROSITY OF HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER MAcpoN
AID PERMITS AMERICAN LEGION TO DEDICATE
STRUCTURE TO DEAD SOLDIER
Putnam's Only War Memoral-Hope to Hold Dedication
Armistce Day

Through the efforts of Anselm
Mayotte Post, American Legion, and
with the cooperation of State High
way Commissioner John Macdonald,
at least one soldier who died in the
service Is TO be recognized with a
public memorial. Following a con-
ference between Commander Thomas
Bell of the Legion Post and Com
missioner Macdonald, held in Putnam
last Wednesday, it was announced
that the Highway Commissioner had
given permission to the local post to
name the new cement bridge in pro-
cess of construction at the foot of
Hospital hill in honor of Harry Gin
ton Hopkins of Putnam, who was kill
ed in action in the Argonne in 0eto-
Der, 1918.
This will be the first War memorial
of any sort that Putnam possesses in
honor Of the local men who fought in
France. Despite the frequent agi-
tation of civic memorial together
with the appointment Of frequent
committees to take charge of the
matter, no action has ever been taken.
The American Legion post, however,
in spite of the lack of public support
for the project has persisted in its
efforts with the final result that the
Hopkins Memorial bridge will be at
least one War memorial. II IS hoped
that the action of Commissioner Mae
donald IN generously permitting the
bridge 10 be used as a memorial VIII
stir up enough public spirit towards
the creation of more general me
mortal.
The Hopkins Memorial bridge will
be handsome concrete single span
structure replacing the iron bridge
over the Little river. The bridge
IS being built at some distance below
the site Of the old bridge and at an
angle which viii eliminate the danger
Gus curve that formerly existed a.
this point.
It Is hoped that the bridge will be
sufficiently near completion by Ar
mistiee Day. Nov. Il. so that proper
exercises may be held TO dedicate the
structure to Harry Hopkins memory.
The American Legion nesi proposes
to mark the bridge with bronze tab
let to the memory of the soldier.

"To this staggering waste of life,
health and wealth" says the mayor,
Putnam contributed its share during
the past year. What makes this ma
tional loss more regrettable Is that II
is preventable in nine cases out of ten.
Pure. downright earelessness is too
often the cause of disastrous fires.
All Should Be Careful
Surely the truth of this should
make thinking people stop and realize
the responsibility that rests on their
shoulders, not only for their own good,
but that of their neighbors and the
community in general.
Il recommend that the people of our
community think seriously upon these
things and especially so on Tuesday of
next week when the nation will OBJ
serve Fire Prevention Day. urge
that special drills be held in the
schools of the city and that the young
people be spoken 10 on the subject,
that they may be impressed anew as to
the great Importance Of carefnluess IN
connection with the handling Of
matches.
Clean Up Rubbish
IL urge business men and house
wives to remove all rubbish or other
material that is a fire hazard, from
their premises, both for cleanliness
and for the sake of fire safety. IL
would be timely also 20 give attention
10 heating apparatus. tlues and CHM
heys. in order that fires may be avoid
ed during the coming winter. Flee
trie wiring could also be examined and
all defects corrected Hotels and the
aires should examine their premises
and make certain once more that notr-
ing exists that could form the basis Of
