The above facts have been checked by actual tests with cars that use six quarts of oil for the crankcase, cars in good mechan- ical condition and driven at ordinary rates of speed. These facts will also prove true for your car, in proportion to the amount of oil your crankcase usually hglds, your car’s mechanical con- dition and the speeds at which you drive. What becomes of the “hidden quart”? The answer is easy if you study the Facts given above and keep in mind the things that only Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil can do. The ex- Pplanation of the whereabouts of the “hidden quart” is simple —no technical knowledge of motors or oil is necessary. Remember—l-The “hidden quart” of Germ Processed Oil DANDRUFF does not escape through leakage . . . does not burn up, wear out nor evaporate. It is “present but unaccounted for.” Fact No. 2, given above, proves all this. After you've found where the “hidden quart” goes, you can easily see the special benefits it gives the motorist—advantages that no other oil can give.

Dean School of Journalism, University of Missouri Use It Once A Week HENEVER you wash your hair —and most people do it once a week—douse full strength Listerine on the scalp either before or after the rinse. Then massage the scalp and hair vigorously for several minutes. You will be simply delighted by the wonderful feeling of cleanness and exhilaration that follows this refresh- ing treatment. Moreover, it is unquestionably one of the best treatments for loose dandruff—for pre- venting it, and for over- coming it once it has started. Many hundreds of women have told us that since making Lis- terine a part of the weekly shampoo, their scalp feels bet- ter, their hair looks more attractive, and they are never troubled with loose dandruff. Of course, if dandruff does get a start, it will be necessary to repeat the Lister- ine treatment systematically for several days, using a little olive oil in conjunction with it if the scalp and hair are excessively dry. Listerine removes and dissolves the dandruff particles and heals and soothes the scalp. Also, if infection is present—and most dermatologists de- fine dandruff as a germ infection—Listerine immediately combats it. Incidentally after a shampoo when the hair is unruly there is noth» ing like Listerine to make it set nicely. The same applies to a finger wave. Lambert Pharmacal Company, St. Louis, Missouris IciTy”
