|DANDRUFF
| A Sure Way to End 1t

SSNsNSN-NS@~~~N~~~N~
There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruf at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
ordinary liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), APP
ply It at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
IL 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, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.

Who Is the Criminal?

Are robbery arson, and assault worse crimes than
our past and present methods of treating criminals?
Are the criminals ravages more to be condemned than
looping of ears, %chopping ones back into raw meat
with a lash, sending men to a living hell in Australia.
0lOerla' Devils island, or Mussolinis penal colonies,
grinding OF their teeth or breaking they heads in
the third degree, or putting them away for years in
stone and steel cages to live an unnatural and de-
generate life?
AT any rate the talented writer, Margaret Wilson
doubts 1t and tells why in her new book. "The Crime
OF punishment" She married a British prison governor
and went to live on the wall of the prison.
Aere she Observed the traditional ways Of treat
ing criminals. This aroused her indignation and his.
torical curiosity. So she began to study the manner
IN which we have treated the delinquent through
history. The result is the present book.
There are more impressive systematic manuals
~ experts, but it is doubtful if there is another book
better designed to get the common man interested
IN the crime problem and lead hin into a recognition
OF the futility Of the whole punishment conception
Miss Wilson shows that the crimes Of Criminals in
no way match the organized brutality and fiendish-
ness OF our historical methods Of punishment.
Worse than this, such savagery has not accom-
plished any good result. It has failed signallv to
repreSs crime or to reform criminals.
Miss Wilson follows modern scientific cririno1oov
IN recommending that the old aspiration of trying to
md a punishment to ht a crime be supplanted by an
enort to supply q type of treatment adjusted to the
needs Of a particular criminal.
And II we would get rid Of crime, we must move
Systematically to wipe out the causes of crime.

the condition for which the drug is
used.
The very greatest danger in the
use Of such preparations is the fact
that they apparently are SO harm
less.
Many Of the common headache
powders contain acetanilid, which
tends to subdue the pain, but which
is particularly dangerous on account
Of its effect on the blood and the
heart.
Some Of the most widely used
preparations for headache or pains
generally sold directly to the public
include mixtures of amidrcpyrine
and Of some barbital derivative-
either one Of these drugs alone is
dangerous if taken in overdosage-
and the combination may have all
Of the dangers Of both.
There is incidentally the posi-
bility that the individual who wishes
merely to have his pain relieved
gets a sleep producer, which is an
effect he did not wish.
The individual who wishes merely
to overcome the threshold for sleep
gets a drug that lowers the tenn
perature and thereby brings about
a change that he perhaps may not
have desired.

Brookwood and Labor Education

Brookwood college at Katonah, N. Y, is ceIebrat-
ing its tenth anniversary. A testimonial dinner to
its director, A. J. Music. and an address by Pro-
fessor Harold j. Laski of the University Of London,
q scholar long interested in labor education, are
the high lights.
Brookwood is the chief labor college in the coun-
try. Along with commonwealth college in Arkansas.
it is about the only strictly labor college in the
country. We well may congratulate Mr.. Music upon
the past at Brookwood and wish him better things
for the future.
The whole experiment has been a brave effort.
Music has been compelled to fight against treason
able opposition within the labor movement itself.
Mat Vol and other proletarian patrioteers have
made his way as thorny as possible.

Uncle Sam is intent upon having his

Bob Marigold Of San Diego, and
Mrs. Marigold went over n after
noon to Aqua Caliente, and we had
lunch together and saw the races.
The last one is run around 5 o'clock,
which gives Californians time to get
home before the gates go up.
I urged MI. Marigold to stay over
and have dinner, but he said it was
necessary to get home before mid
night.
Finally he interrupted, "Of course,
7 could leave my car on this side
and go through the hole in the
fence"
What do you mean" I wanted to
know, "the hole in the fence?"
why" he explained, there's a
gap there just q few hundred yards
up above the booth where the GUS
toms inspectors stand. It isn't big
enough to drive a car through, but
anybody can walk through. We all
use that whenever we want to stay
