This destroys it entirely. To do this, Just get about four ounces of plain ordinary liquid arvon; apply 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 completely dissolve and_entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no mawter how much dandruff you may have. You will find. too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy. silky and soft, and lo and feel a hundred times better. . You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail—Advertisement. which is kept at 98 degrees Fahren- heit until it is thoroughly sour—that is, fermented throughout. A thick ! sponge of wheat flour and hot water in which a little salt has been dis- solved is then prepared. This wheat- | flour sponge is well kneaded with the {sour batter and set in a warm place for several hours. The leavening which had begun in the batter is thus spread through the dough, which, when s baked, makes a light, porous loaf, | very palatable. -Indeed, its partisans claim that it is the only good bread there is. The sale prevents undesir- able acid fermentation, and salt-risy ing bread is therefore peculiarly fre from acidity. In rural districts in the American_southwest, notably, too, In | Kansas, this bread is much used. The | process’ is rather slow and tedious, | but where fresh yeast cannot be reg- {ularly obtained it Is probably the | best way to make good bread. Generally speaking, we must admit, however, that yeast substitutes are | not desirable; they are easily adul- terated and may be either inefficient or positively harmful in conse- quence; bread made with them is usually flat and tasteless.

OHN and Merriam Lindsay hadn't had a really spirited argument about anythihg for weeks and weeks. Indeed, they had been living in a sort of treacherous back water of unwonted serenity, probably because their last previous argument had been 8o serious. But thelr feelings toward each other were now unmistakably ruf- fled. For John had accepted an in- vitation to go fishing with Thorne Blaisdell and his sone after Merriam had let him understand, most dis- tinctly, that she did not want him to go. He had a perfect double-barreled alibl. . Merriam knew as well as he did, ‘or better, that it' would be the height of folly for him not to accept the hospitality of his employer. And he would not be leaving Merry alone, because Mrs. Blaisdell had extended a most cordlal invitation for Merry to spend the time as her guest. But Merrlam’'s “dander’ was up. She simply did not want John to go. Illogical and feminine, with not an argument in the world, she issued her ultimatum—he didn’t love her if he wanted to go gallivanting off with old men and schoolboy: He made the fatal mistake of at- tempting to argue. She wouldn't answer him because she couldn’t. She retired in sulks and pretended to be still asleep when he left the house in_the morning. She was dawdling_ over a much- belated breakfast when Mrs. Blais- dell dropped in on her way to market. “Want to go along?” asked the de- lighttul elder lady. Merriam shook her bronze head. Nan's hand went out to Merry's shoulder. “Come out of it!" she scolded light- ly. “Don't be a silly little gloom. They'll dash off like the King of France and his 10,000 men, and _prob- ably get home about two days before we’expect them. One night of those uncomfortable bunks in that fishing shack, and their yen for fishing will be over. It's a bromidic old platitude, Merry, but men are perfect kids when spring hits 'em; they just natu- rally have to play hookey same as we women folk have to clean house. Come now, cut out the neglected-wife pose!’ “I truly think, Nan, it's perfectly horrid of you and Thorne to encour- iage John, so deliberately, in_ doing something wou know I hate him to truly . think, Merry, mimicked, “it's perfectly you not to encourage John.” Merriam stirred her coffee haughtily. “You look very pretty pouting.” Nan d of THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D ‘Brides Will Be Brides By Lucille Van Slyke. food for them to take camping, so You needn't bother about anything but John's clothes. Has he hip boots and a good thick sweater? That bay is cold and wet, and they need heaps of dry duds. Thornme is planning to start about 4 this afternoon, so that they can get across to the island be- fore dark.” The boys phoned over and got the same disreputable old boat- man they had two years ago—"" Merriam did not answer her. So Nan wgnt out the side path and discreetly tapped on the kitchen door. “Mrs. Lindsay dosen't understand just what Mr. Lindsay will need for this~ fishing trip, she sald diplomatically. “Will you see that he bas plenty of wool socks and un- derwear and blankets and that sort of thing Mr. Blaisdell always takes? Has he hip boots? Susan Sue wiped her hands de- liberately on her apron. “He has not, Miss Nan, bled. she grum- “You'd best get him some in the village, they're cheapest at ;{all .

TI'll put in a nice two-three days here if she goes into one of her tantrums!” Nan laughed lightly. “She won't, Susy, don’t worry. She'll sulk a bit, but she'll sleep it off, so don't wor Nrs. Blalsdell was quite right. Merriam did not “tantrum.” But she did make ker big John vastly uncom- fortable in the hour in which he and Susan Sue packed his necessities. At the end he almost weakened and stayed home. For he honestly adored his wee wife, even in her unfair mo- ments, and he was secretly delighted that she so much wanted him to stay. But ‘the sound of the motor and the sight of the two rollicking boys and their father in camping regalia made him pick up his bags. He kissed his pouting lady love good-bye. “Be a good girl!”' he admonished shan’t.” she answered petulantly. You'll jolly well have to be,” he taunted her. “I_shan't,” she persisted. Sudden mischief gleamed in her brown eyes. “I shall go to town tomorrow and get Cecily to dig out some of her freak beauX and take us to some mangy Greenwich village place for dinner,” she threatened. He dropped his bags. Merry.” he sald genulnely dis- ed, Don't be such a goose! 1 do just what I please if you 8o off,” she breathed stormily. A naughty little spoil sport, she waved a perfunctory good-bye. A moment later she was at the tele- phone. tres Nan paused in the doorway, “but I must run along.

There may be rare souls who really and truly like to hoe potatoes, weed onlons, bathe, bake or sew, but they be strange anomalies. When not canting for the moral edification’ of the younger generation, most of us have as little love for work as we have respect for what the copy books used to call homest labor. versal game is to get along with the least possible amount of work. The Popular way of playing the game is by dignifying one's play or game by referring to it casually as “my work.” Thus we hear many players telling of “working late at the office”—an art- less listener might suppose they had been scrubbing the floor or washing the windows, though actually they haye been just puttering at the books. No other one is so constantly trou- bled with that tired feeling as the fellow who won't work. There is precious little difference between the tired business man and the genuine hobo. I mean as to what ails the fel- low. The hobo fairly and squarely repudiates all work in all its ways and forms; the tired business man tries to jolly himself that his favor- ite game is work. There s no time when we who live without work so sorely need work as at the very moment when we feel too tired to undertake ‘the slightest ex- iertion. The most serious mistake we { make about this is the misinterpreta- sedentary man or woman feels just fagged out and worn and weary at the end of a day's play and yearns mightily to sink into a soft chair or even to retire too early to bed, then is the time when some real muscu- lar work will do the most good. Ah, but it takes determination and will power and faith in the restorative value of exercise to drive one to work at such a time? The universal impulse and D;;c!:;l is to ch:x'ck it and go on wi o deadly sitting. Don’t I know? No one hates work more than I do, yet I fancy few ?&n- workers derive more benefit m bitter exercise year after year than do. The notion that exercise must be made attractive and enjoyable, as in such games as tennis, pitching horse- shoes, hiking. playing ball, bowling or golf, is ail right—anything that will persuade the chronic sitter to use ‘his muscles. But do not imagine that because games are good one does not derive equal benefit from an equiva- lent amount of muscular activity in the form of drab work. Swinging the ax on knotty oak unquestionably bet- ters a man's health just as much as swinging the bat in a game of ball. ‘The great drawback about playing games for exercise is that it is seldom possible for one to get into a game every day. It is always pos- sible to take exercise at home, no matter what the condition of the ‘weather or the season or the individ- ual's time allowance may be. The sad excuse which too many itherwise intelligent folks offer for neglécting exercise is that they haven't time. One might with equal justification go naked and plead noth- ing to wear. The best reason wWhy little boys neglect to wash behind their ears {s that they haven't time.

Bhould I give him ripe bananas? 80, how often and in what.form?— (Guericus) . . Answer.—Baked bananas may given once or twice a week to a healthy child over three years of age. Raw_bananas, if well fipened—that is, the skins well browned—may_ be given once or twice a week to chil- dren over five years of age. Banana is very nutritious food; baked banana is more easily digested by a young child than raw banana. That Tired Feeling, Would you be kind emough to Foocrt scribe’ something for that tired feel- ing, which is caused, I belleve, by a sluggish liver—(M. 8.) i ‘Answer.—Sluggish liver is right, but why live so sluggishly?

Now that thc door was open the delicious smell that had brought ‘them over there in the first place was stronger than ever. Boxer cautiously moved toward the sugar house.
