Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff
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 retir
ing. gb" enough to molsten the scalp
llnd bit in gently with the finger
tips
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appli
cations will complétely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have,
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never falls to do the work.—Adver
tisement.

John Galsworthy
The work of John Galsworthy will endure as the fin
est literature known to our day. His books and plays are
accepted models for style and diction. A Galsworthy
novel is of itself a course in English. He is a master of
word values and construction, possessed of a simplicity
only less amazing than its vitality.
Galsworthy uses words like a painter. Under the
apell of his art they are colors, shades and tints of infinite
clarity brushed upon the pag: with bold, vivid strokes—
alive. :
But Galsworthy’s genius rests even more with his
knowledge of life, his acquaintance with the forces which
dominate and desolate society. In fertility of plot and
eontrol of situations he has no recent peer. His impulse
is clean, dauntless, upbuilding.
C l. eetoo e e e
pursunant with a policy of presenting only the best fiction
and philosophy to its readers now, in addition to such
masters as Booth Tarkington, Robert Chambers, Gouver
