the campaign for reduced expendi-
lures, Is to keep constantly before
the operating agencies the necessity
or ending the year with balanced
budget and the need of a downward
revision of their eXuending programs
wherever possible in the interest or
that most desirable and necessary
consummation. The figures up to and
including December 81, 1923, show
how effective these methods have
proved and how Loyalty the govern
ment services have responded to the
Presidents challenge. The total esti-
mated expenditure for the year,
under date of July 1, 1923, was $3,-
171.25s.542, which was afterwards in
creased by the addition of S125,OOO,OO0
discount accruals, giving us new
expenditure estimate of S3s96,25S,542.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff complete
ly and that is to dissolve it. This
destroys it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
ordinary liquid arvon; apply 1t 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 completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of 1t, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous.> glossy. silky
and soft, and look and feel hum
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store and four ounces Is all
you will need. This simple rem
edy has never been known to fail.

GREAT AMERICAN EPIC AR.
RlVES AT LAST
"Viroinian" Better I'll.

0VSkGT nan BOOK anu
PIay-Marks Epoch in Screen Art.
The Great American Romance has
reached the screen. At last the west,
in all its beauty, romance, drama and
magnificence, has been captured in
celluloid. "The Virginian,' now show
ing at the Opera House, may be call
ed, without exaggeration, an epoch
making picture.
When Preferred Pictures Corpora
ton announced, some time ago, that
they intended making a film version
of "The Virginian," people were dub
ious about it. So many great stories.
so many classic masterpieces, have
been butchered and ruined by filming
that those who have loved Owen
Wtster's great story feared that the
picture might not do 1t justice.
They may rest assured. The pic
ture Is better than the book. This
may seem startling statement,
when it is realized that 1.-THE Vir-
gilman" has been for twenty years
the supreme masterpiece Of the west.
The situations which in cold type
have thrilled millions are more than
realized in the picture. Against the
most magnificent natural back
