SHOE COST
Everyone is aware that there has been a Universal in
crease in the price of Shoes.
The advance in the cost of leather and other materials
entering into the construction of Shoes has com
pelled ail shoe manufacturers to advance their prices
accordingly—there was no alternative!
HOWEVER
We protected ourselves against this condition and as a
result, nearly every shoe in our immense stock was
purchased prior to the great advance. Old prices v
remain at practically the old level.
This, therefore, is a splendid time to buy your Spring
Footwear for our stvles are right up-to-the-minute!

To Avoid Dandruff
You do not want a slow treatment
for itching scalp when hair is falling
and the dandruff gepn is killing the
hair roots. Delay means—no hair.
Get, at any drug store, a bottle of
zemo for 25c or SI.OO for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. It kills the dandruff
germ, nourishes the hair roots and im
mediately stops itching scalp. It is
a pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid, is not
greasy, is easy to use and will not stain.
Soaps and shampoos are harmful, as
they contain alkali. The best thing to
use for scalp irritations is zemo, for it
is safe and also inexpensive.

Combing Won't Rid
Head 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
gently with the linger tips.
i>o this to-tiiM'i ami l>y morning
most. if not all. of yo'ur dandruff will
In- gone, mid three or four more appli
cations .vtil completely dissolve and
entlrelv destroy every *lnnle sluti and
tin re of it, no matter bow much dan
druff von "mcv have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and yaur lmir will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and fed a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.—Advertisement.
