Combing Won't Rid Hair of Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of dan druff 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 gen tly 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 applica tions will completely dissolve and en tirely destroy every single elgn 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 ctore. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv. New Perkins Hotel Fifth and Washington Sts., Portland, Oregon. Room with private bath, $1.60 up.
