Simple Way to
End Dandruff
There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
sou destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen
tly with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
Tou will find all itching and dig
King of the scalp will, stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous.

ELECTION MAY BE PUT OFF
Postponement of Aberdeen Bond
Issue Vote Thought Xecessary.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Dec. 3. (Spe
cial.) The election to decide upon the
proposed issue of $1,000,000 in bonds
for the purchase of a dredge for the
inner harbor and for the erection of
docks probably will be postponed be
cause of the state law requiring a new
registration of voters on and after
January 1, 1920.
All registrations in the state expire
with the year, so with the date of the
port election set early in January, it
is claimed that there would be no
qualified voters, or practically none
on the date of the election.

Trial for Murderer of ex
Service Men to Open Jan. 5.
QUICK ACTION DEMANDED
Killing of Four World War Veter

alleled in U. S. History.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 3. (Spe
cial.) Four of the 11 Centralia
I. W. W. to be tried here for the
murder of Centralia service men on
Armistice day arrived at Montesano
this afternoon in an automobile and
under guard of Sheriff John F. Berry
of Lewis county and three deputies.
The prisoners were Bert Bland, John
Lamb, James Mclnerney and Eugene
Burnett. The remaining seven will
be, brought to the county jail tomor
row. Monday, January 5, is the tentative
date set for the opening of the mur
der trial in Montesano. Impaneling
of the jury for this court term prob
ably will occur December 13, at which
time some 100 names will be drawn in
the first venire.
CENTRALIA, Wash., Dec 3. (Spe
cial.) Announcement that the 11
I. W. W.'s accused of murder had been
granted a change of venue yesterday
caused little surprise in the ranks of
the Grant Hodge post.
Speedy Action Demanded.
"It's all right with us." said C. D.
Cunningham, special Lewis county
prosecutor, appointed to assist in the
trials. "We'd Just as soon have it
there as anywhere."
Resolutions deploring the death of
the war veterans and demanding
speedy justice for their murderers
were adopted Monday night by the
local union of timber workers.
A statement signed by Mayor T. C.
Rogers, W. W. Dick,erson and John
Saunders, city commissioners, was
made public today concerning the Ar
mistice day massacre in Centralia.
The statement of the officials is to
the effect that the veterans in the
Armistice day parade were unarmed;
that the attack was without provoca
tion or justification; that the plot to
kill was laid two or three weeks be
fore the tragedy; that the I. W. W.
headquarters was a veritable arsenal;
that previous to the parade the revo
lutionists .had been deliberately sta
tioned in the I. W. W. headquarters,
at the upper-story windows across the
street therefrom, in hiding along the
street and on Seminary hill, nearby,
all of which places commanded a
sweep of the line of march, and that
more than 150 shots were fired into
the crowd in reckless disregard of
human life.
Plot Held Unparalleled.
"Thus is laid bare." said the state
ment, "a treasonable plot conceived
in hatred and vengefulness, which,
for diabolical plan and execution, is
without parallel in the history of the
United States."
The American legion fund being
raised in Centralia for the prosecution
of I. W. W.s accused of murdering the
four war veterans, for the relief of
those left dependent as a result of
the murders, and for the spread of the
doctrine of Americanism, has passed
the $5000 mark. Today's subscriptions
to the fund totaled $739.S0 and
brought the grand total to $5,171.59.
Today's subscription included one
for $377.50 from the Lincoln Creek
Lumber company and US of its em
ployes, and another- for $100 from the
Fraternal Order of Eagles. City em
ployes today subscribed $71.50 to the
fund, while a donation of $50 was re
ported from the H. H. Martin Lum
ber company.

Enriched Her Blood.
Anemia approaches so stealthily that
it generally has a firm grip on its vic
tim before its presence is realized.
The headaches, which are a symptom
of the disease, cause great suffering.
Valuable time, that should be spent
in building up the blood, is often
wasted in trying to soothe the head
ache. Anemia is caused by thin blood
and its symptoms t-re weakness, head
aches, vertigo, sleeplessness, stomach
trouble and palpitation of the heart.
Dr. Williams" Pink Pills are a specific
for anemic conditions and a course of
treatment will soon restore the miss
ing elements to the blood, as is attest
ed by Miss Gae Wilson of No. 651
Brooklyn avenue, Kansas City, Mo.
"I had been a sufferer from head
aches for years," says Miss Wilson,
"and though I tried many prepara
tions nothing seemed to give me more
than temporary relief. My lips were
white and I was very weak., I had
little appetite. Nothing that I ate
agreed with me and acute stomach
distress invariably followed a meal. I
couldn't sleep well because of the
headaches, my legs ached and I suf
fered from palpitation of the heart.
"My uncle, a druggist, advised me
to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial
and I began the treatment. I felt
somewhat improved and continued
taking the remedy until my blood be
came enriched. My color Is much
better. I eat and sleep well, and the
headaches have disappeared. As soon
as my blood improved the palpitation
ceased and now I feel well rnd have
plenty of strength. I have great faith
in Dr. Williams Pink Pills as a tonic
and strongly recommend the remedy."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or direct from the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., SchenectaCy,

LICENSES TOTAL $97,904
Vehicle Hawkers and Meddlers Paj
$13,198 to City.
Licenses issued by the city of Port
land returned a total revenue of $97,
904.73 during the fiscal year of 1919.
according to figures prepared by
Deputy Auditor Peirce of the license
bureau. Although this sum compares
favorably with the sum derived from
the same sources in 1916, 1917 and
1918, it is more than $300,000 less
than license revenue in 1915, when
liquor licenses were issued by the
city. In 1915 the total revenue was
$397.0.")7.61, of which $291,213.50 was
received for liquor licenses.
Mr. Peirce prepared a statement
showing the amount derived from
various sources as follows:
Dos licenses, $14,694 (80 per cent of
this amount is paid to the Oregon
Humane society) ; automobile for hire
licenses, $417,506. vehicle nawkers
and peddlers, $13,198.85; dancing per

CHINESE AGE PLEfl VAIN

Orientals Arrested in Room Where
Gambling Was Going On Are
Fined by Judge.
When 12 Chinese arrested on
charges of being behind barred doors
where gambling was going on ap
peared in municipal court yesterday
afternoon Harry Sing, youthful Chi
nese student, who appeared to defend
them, urged the court to release -the
old men taken in the raid, as he said
they were merely in the place keep
ing warm.
"Well," said the judge, "how many
old men are there?"
A count was made and it was dis
covered that they were all old, none
being under 60 years. Consequently
the court demurred.
"It's just like the kaiser," continued
Harry Sing, still insisting that the
innocent should not suffer with the
guilty. "You wouldn't want to blame
all the German people for the war
when it was the fault of Kaiser Bill."
The judge fined Ah Sing and ten
others $7.50 each, and Ah Chin, who
was declared to have had lottery tick
ets in his possession at the time of
the arrest, was fined $25.
The policemen took as evidence $329
which apparently had been used in
gambling.
Four Chinese arrested at 84 Second
street on charges of gambling behind
barred doors were fined $10 each.

FIND OUT WHAT CAUSES
YOUR RHEUMATISM
Then You Will Be Able to Treat
It Intelligently.
The medical profession has not yet
fully determined all of the causes of
rheumatism, though they are pretty
well agreed on two points.
The first is that the disease is more
than a mere local trouble, that the
pangs of pain come from a source
that is far below the surface, and
therefore it is not reasonable to ex
pect any rational relief from a treat
ment that is locally applied and
reaches only the surface.
When you realize the logic of this
conclusion, you will see that you are
really wasting your time and money
if you are expecting any permanent
relief from the use of liniments, lo
tions, and other locally applied treat
ment, which can only reach the sur
face, and have no effect whatever
upon the origin of your trouble.
Any disease should be treated at
its source, and especially one that
causes as much suffering as rheuma
tism. For what you want is not mere
temporary relief from the torturing
pangs of pain, which will promptly
return with renewed severity. The
only treatment worth while is one
that will show some progress" toward
getting at the source of the disease,
and freeing the victim from its
shackles.
The other point that the medical
profession has agreed upon, is that
some forms of rheumatism are caused
by a tiny disease germ in the blood,
which multiplies by the million, and
until these germs are routed from the
blood, you can see how futile local
treatment will be. In fact you can
rub with liniments and use lotions
by the gallon and never hope to reach
the cause of your trouble.
So many people have found real
permanent relief from their rheuma
tism by the use of S. S. S. that its
use is justified in practically every
case. Certainly if your rheumatism
is due to a germ in the blood, as so
many thousands of cases are, you
should lose no time in beginning the
use of S. S. S., because you can rely
upon this fine old blood remedy to do
you more good than any other treat
ment. S. S. S. is beneficial in rheumatism
because it is such a thorough blood
medicine. It cleanses the blood of all
impurities, and eradicates the germs
which cause rheumatism. The won
derful results it has accomplished In
other cases is proof of it3 great
merit, to. to. s. has been on the market
for more than fifty years and is sold
by all druggists.
