It lnvolvel & rich elderly Marwarl merchant named Nandlal, who brought suit in the local courts to annul his recent marriage to Jasoda, an Indian girl of 13, who was born in New York. Nandlal based his suit on the grounds he was deceived by the girl's guardians | with regard to her caste. J pa- rents were Brahmins, the highest Hindu | caste; they died when she was gquite young, and until a year ago she lived |in New York. Then she was brought to India and to this town by Mayaku Malla, who planned to secure an In- ldhn husband for her.

Listerine helps to dissolve oily crusts and quickly removes them, as well as horny scales. And Listerine quickly relieves that burning, itch- ing sensation. It soothes inflamed or irritated areas of the scalp. If scalp is excessively dry, a little olive oil may be used in connection with the Listerine shampoo, or inde- pendent of it. The oil aids in dissolve ing crusts and scales and keeps hair from drying out. Lambert Pharmacal Company, St. Louis, Mo., U. 8. A.
