Montreal An Easy Way to Remove Dandruff If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don’t. The best way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. To do this, just apply a little Liquid Arvon at night before 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 should completely re- move every sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store. A four- ounce bottle is usually all that is needed. Tho R. L. Watkins Co., Cleveland, Ohio. All threo kind: 8 or write us, MAJOR MANUFACTURING. co.” New York Rhymed Reviews Figures of Earth By James Branch Cabell. Robert M. McBride & Co. UR medievalist, Cabell, Constructs a tangled allegory About the swineherd, Manuel, And how he conquered wealth - and glory: This Manuel (in whom you may Perceive the Author-life unfolded), Keeps shaping figures out of clay But never gets them rightly molded. He leaves his pigs; he dares invade The Land of Dreams, and subjugates it. He captures Love, the dashing blade, And subsequently underrates it. Imagination, Queen of Flame, | The fool deserts that lovely dame; I don’t exactly grasp the reason. With Misery he dwells a space, The sports of devils, ghouls witches, To gain the Realm of Commonplace, Respectability and riches. and Though Death congeals our hero’s blood, Reborn, the reader shortly sees him Still forming figures out of mud, But never getting them to please him. No, Art for Art’s Sake will not do A touch of Art for Man’s Sake, too, Might save our literary smarties. Then write upon a cleaner scroll An allegory, hot and searing, Of how an artist lost his soul By never doing aught but sneering. Arthur Guiterman., Crowds and Superiority VEN a blind man must have noticed the unprecedented increase in the crowds on the city streets during the last few years. Usually, the phenomenon is explained by reference to the influx of country folk into the towns, which in turn may be attributed to various causes, such as automobiles, movies, etc. Like the soph- isticated Latin bucolic poets, who sang of the charms of country life but who couldn’t bear to stay away from Rome overnight for fear of missing something, we are thoroughly convinced of the su- periority of the country as a place of dwelling, although without the least de- sire or intention of making it our per- manent abode. This, despite the fact that we find it increasingly difficult to maintain a sustaining sense of our own intellectual and moral superiority in the jostling, hustling crowds of the subway and surface cars. 32 He wins; but soon, in freakish treason, | To base your lives upon, my hearties; | The besb for horse oe ‘Manufactured by ‘THE PERKINS-CAMPBELL CO. 622 Broadway, Cincinnati, ees ‘New York Branch branch 89 Chambers St. 1329 So.

In fact, it is becoming more difficult daily to remain convinced of one’s own superiority, let alone convincing other people. If we are not careful we shall run serious danger of losing the decorative and entertain- ing race of snobs. And, pray, what shall we do then, poor things? A Familiar Sound USBAND: Great guns!
