Washing Won’t Rid
Head Of Dandruff
The only jure way to get rid of
dandruff 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 mois-
ten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight and 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 mat-
ter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find too that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
at once and your hair will be
fluffy lustrous glossy silky and
soft and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

President of San Antonio
Commerce Body Will Go
to Washington.
WILL LEAVE SATURDAY
Expected That Financial Can-
vass Will Be Finished
on Return.
Franz C. Groos. president of the
Chamber of Commerce will leave
for Washington D. C. Saturday
night to attend the meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States which will be held there next
week. The national organization em-
braces chambers of commerce of the
larger cities throughout the United
States and as chief executive of the
San Antonio body Mr. Groos is a
member of the national council.
When the matter of having San
Antonio represented at the import-
ant meeting was discussed by direct-
ors of the chamber they were unani-
mously of the opinion that Mr. Groos
should attend. It was pointed out
that this city has reached a posi-
tion among American communities
where it is proper the Chamber of
Commerce should join with those of
other cities in affairs of nation-wide
interest. Mr. Groos will attend the
meeting of councillors Tuesday
which will be followed for the next
three days by the general conven-
tion.
Will Call On Officials.
While in Washington Mr. Groos
will confer with Senator Sheppard
and War Department officials re-
garding the program of expanding
the military establishment at Fort
Sam Houston. The Chamber of
Commerce has been of material as-
sistance in arranging for various
army projects to go forward and it
is to ascertain how the body can be
of further aid that President Groos
will call on officials in Washington.
When Mr. Groos returns from his
trip he will find the Chamber of
Commerce financed for the import-
ant work with which it is confronted
for the ensuing year. The member-
ship canvass will begin next Mon-
day. and for the next four days a
small army of solicitors composed of
public spirited business men will be
business engaged in securing mem-
bers for the organization.
