more swine than enough to furnish
the family with pork and many do
not raise any other live stock.

Parents Who Think They Con
fer Favor on Church Are
Scored by Miss Withers
Of New York.
Parents who think they are con
ferring a favor on the church by send
ing their children to the Sunday
school came under the ban of Miss
Frances H. Withers of New York,
junior secretary of church missions,
who yesterday opened a class for
junior church workers of the Epis
copal church at Innity cathedral.
"These parents consider Sunday
schools a necessary evil instead of
realizing the privilege of religious in
struction the children receive," said
Miss Withers.
New Plan of Work.
Miss Withers presented the new
plan for junior work, which includes
week-day activities. as well as Sunday
school work. "Only 10 per cent of
Sunday school' children are now en
rolled in mission work. AH of them
should be doing it. When President
Wilson and Mr. Hoover asfced for
food conservation they asked all the
people, not 10 per cent of them," she
said.

To Banish Hairs
(Beauty Notes)
Ugly hairy growths can be removed
in the privacy of your own home if
you get a. small original package of
delatone and mix into a paste enough
of the powder and water to cover the
hairy surface. This should be left on
the skin about 2 minutes, then re
moved and the skin washed and every
trace of hair will have vanished. No
harm or inconvenience can. result
from this treatment, but be sure you

Horse liniment for aches and pains
of the human family, in a sense of the
word, sounds out of place, but never

as a human remedy for rheumatism,

the name that it is a thick, ill-smelling
oil concoction, but this opinion must
be discarded, as G. & G Nerve and
Bone Liniment is composed largely of
alcohol and is as clean as any toilet
preparation, yet has the warm, sooth

relieve pain in animals in a short and
speedy manner, without the usual
blistering and general annoyancu
which comes from the use of other oil
preparations. AH first class druggists

Simple Way to
End,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,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), 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 com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff yott may
have.
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. Ad -
