Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that IS TO dissolve it. Then you
destroy IT entirely. To do this, Just
get about four ounces OF plain, or
binary liquid aryon; apply It at
night when retiring; use enough to
roisten 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 COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace OF il,
no matter how much dandruf you
may have.
You will find, teA that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and

new BILL IS OFFERED
FOR D. C. RAIL MERGER
Cotton Measure Would Permit One
Street Car Company to Acquire
Any Other Companies.

Proposal for the merger of street
railway companies in Washington in
the interest Of the using public and
to beget economy and efficiency in
service, was revived in Congress
again late yesterday when a bill was
introduced by Representative Don B.
Cotton of Utah, looking to that end.
The Cotton bill provides that any
street railway corporation which has
a franchise to operate cars for public
service in Washington be granted the
right to purchase or otherwise ac-
quire other street railway companies
in the District OF Columbia. 1t pro-
yides for the purchase OF outstand-
ing stock of any other company at
not less than par value through the
issuance of bonds, which would not
bear greater rate Of interest than the
stock of the company acquired.
This measure is very similar to one
which was considered several years
ago, but which failed of support.
