Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruff

Girls-if you want plenty OF
thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair,
do by all means get rid of dandruff,
for it will starve your hair and
ruin it if you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try TO
comb or wash it 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 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 two
or three more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a

 MathewsOn's Pick
 AIaihewson selected only three Amer ican Ieaguers on his team, they being Bassier, Detroit, catcher; Ruth, Ian- kees, right field, and Falk, Chicago, left field. American league players agree with only one of his selections. They consider Babe Ruth their best right fielder, hut they rate Ruel Gbove Bassler behind the bat and they are almost over wheImingly for JamiesOn as compared to Falk in left field.
 McGraw, like Mathewson and unlike Babe Ruth, is extremely partial to Ma tional league players, as he picks but two men from the younger organization for his AA-American team. They are Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson.
 These selections have the approval of the American league players.

PANTHER COMEBACK
 8 BEATS MISSISSIPPI
Black Hero In Last Half Squirt Of Southern.
 Score, -l2-6 as

.lPROVINE FIELD, CLINTON, Miss, Oct. 25.-(Special )--Coming in from behind, the militant Partners of Birmingham-Southern triumphed over the Bohler Choctaws of Mississippi here today by the score of 12-6.
 This game was by far the greatest surprise the Choctaw football squad has ever experienced. Having been ourplayed during the first half and ap- parently defeated, the Panthers, under the terrific speed and excellent liDr plunging of Black. the left half of the Birmingham-S Southern squad, turned a GO score, which was against them into marvellous victory by 12-6 score in the third lap of the game here this aft erpoon.
 The Southern squad was rushed off their feet during the first quarter of the game. Captain Cy Parks, stellar per former of the Gold and Blue of Missis- sippi college. ran round right end for q nifty gain about the fourth minute of the game, and carried the ball over ffem the one-yard line. which netted tho Chcctaws' only touchdown. Hngglns, the left half of the ChOctaws' failed 10 kick goal for extra point, and early in the game the score was GO in favor Gf Mississippi college.
 During the second quarter, the Choc- jaws outplayed the Partners. The half ended with the ball on the Birmingham Southern 1O-yard line in the ChOctaw's s possession after thesIndians were sacs chssful in completing forward pass for long gain of 40 yards. This was very favorable location for another touchdown for the Choctaws. But the whistle blew for the end of the first half
 li Panthers Come Back
 Although the panthers at the erd of the first half seemed to have spirit apparently weak, the second half be- gan with a spirit which is commendable on any team. This was the spirit which proved so unsatisfactory for the Choctaws and which made possible one of the most glorious Victories ever wit messed on Province field During this half, the Panthers outclassed the Choc- jaws from beginning to end, and es- pecially during the third quarter did they do the offensive work which can not receive the proper praise.
 sThe two outstanding stars of the game were Captain Cy Parks of Missis- sippi college, and Black of the Birming hRm-Southern aggregation. Parks proved 10 be just as dangerous to Bir- 1ningham- Southern as he was footed to be, and pulled off some of the finest gains of the whole season.
 aT "StOp Black"
 dStop Black was the cry from the wigwam after the tide of the game turned. He bucked the line for n p yard gain for the Panthers' first touch down. Likewise he made the second touchdown for the Partners after run equally as great and praiseworthy. He was the man who did the dirty work against the Choctaws.
 The Pan. hers made ten first downs as compared with seven for the ChOc taws. The teams were very evenly matched, and both sides did good work with the exception of the first quarter when the Partners were so completely rushed. and during the third quarter when Black tore the Indian defense all to pieces and made brilliant plays which made possible the -Panthers' first and
