Fu neral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock', at the Bethel A Simple Way To Remove Dandruff There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), ap ply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all,' of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. i You will find all itching and dig ging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.—Adv.

Says Fine For Sore Burning, Inflamed Feet Don't worry when your feet smart and burn and ache and feel sore all day long. You can easily get rid of the agony and distress by drawing out the inflammation with Peterson's Ointment. "I know a hundred men," says Pet erson. "who tell me that after trying the many things advertised for sore feet that the only relief they found was in a 25 cent box of Peterson's Ointment. "Rub it on freely before going to bed, tlrst washing the feet with soap and hot water, and I'm sure you'll sleep sound and wake up in the morn ing with feet almost as good as new and soreness all gone. "Sore feet is a common, yet pain ful ailment that can be readily con quered by the use of Peterson's Oint ment, which has cured thousands of Eczema. Piles, Running Sores and skin diseases. Every druggist in America is authorized to refund your money if Peterson's Ointment doesn't do as advertised." Note: By sore feet Peterson means inflamed, smarting, burning, aching, weary feet, and not corns, bunions or callouses. —Advertisement. (Hallowe'en "Pop" to Feature Entertainment!
