The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

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 of 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 il 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, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly. and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store and four ounces is all you
will need. This simple remedy new
er fails.

Gas From Food Hurts
Heart and Lungs

When food ferments It causes gas to
form. This gas, in the case Of Mrs H.
Harris, pressed on her heart and lungs
and caused much trouble. Finally she
tried the mixture OF buckthOrn bark
glycerins. etc. (known as Adler!ka) and
1t helped her at once.
Many people keep the OUTSIDE body
clean but let their INSIDE body stay full
OF gas and polsons. Give the inside a
REAL cleansing with the mixture OF
buckthorn bark. glycerine. etc, as sold
under the name Of Adlerlka. This acts
on BOTH upper and lower bowels. elm
mates metabolic poisons and removes
old matter which you never thought
was in your system, and which caused
sour stomach, nervousness, sleeplessness
headache. etc.
Whenever you eat too much heavy
food, let Adlerika REMOVE the undi-
gested surplus and leave yiu feeling fine
ONE spoonful relieves GAS ana takes
away that full. bloated feeling. Even II

United States visible supply total tend
ed also to inspire caution on the part
Of buyers, especially at the finish.
Prospects of unwelcome moisture in
Canada were a factor in lifting wheat
values after an early decline that was
associated with reports saying Cana
dian harvest conditions were favorable.
The early setback of wheat prices came
abou tin some degree also on account
of corn market weakness, with Sep
tember and May corn touching the low
est level yet this season. Besides, pre-
dictions were being made that Cana
dian farmers would market between
100000 and 5O,OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat within the next two weeks. The
outlook, however, for such heavy mar
keting was altered later by the fore
cast of rain in Canada.
Likelihood of enlarged receipts of
corn here had bearish effect on corn
and oats. Absence Of frost, too, also
had a similar influence.
In the provision market profit taxi
ing sales largely counteracted upturns
due to strength of hog values and Of
