The Hunter MITH, who had the hunting habit, Ran across a snowshoe rabbit. He missed it. Later, a most unwary grouse Offered a target like a house. He missed it. Snug in his blind, it was his luck Almost to touch a floating duck. He missed it. When, broadside on, among the spruce There paused a quite enormous moose, He missed it. Two miles away, a mackinaw Worn by a guide he briefly saw. He hit it. Inigo Ink. To All Germ Plasms—Get Busy! HILE the rest of us have been rubbing along, trying to make both ends come within as respectable a distance of each other as the govern- ment will allow, the biologists have not been idle. One of the most eminent of Arthur Thomson, if he has not | ade new discovery, has at least iormulated a new theory. It appears that cach one of us has a germ plasm, and t no matter what else happens, that germ plasm is stable. Outside of the germ plasm, as far as the eye can reach, there is nothing but protoplasm. We do what we ought not to according as the protoplasm of which we are quite largely made is acted upon by heredity or environment. But our germ plasm keeps right on doing business at the old stand When Professor Thomson writes of the “inertia” of the main inheritance, what he means is that the protoplasm is in reality all the rest of us which is preyed upon by deterrent influences. We are weak in proportion as our germ plasm is surrounded by protoplasm. A dent can be made in protoplasm at any time by anyone who happens to come along and tempt us. Protopiasm, in short, is the great ielder, the great giver-in. What we 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.

And they say that 75% of them are bought by men, by satisfied users who see in Christmas an opportunity o let their friends in on a good thing. It’s the safety razor that sharpens its own blades on a straight leather strop—that saves a man money every month in the year. A few quick strokes and he gets a new, keen edge—a comfortable, smooth shave morning after morning. Strops, shaves and cleans without removing the blade. Ask any dealer for a demonstration today.

AutoStrop Razor Saves constant blade expense now expect of the biologists is that they shall all get together and discover a method of making it stick up for itself in each of us. And our germ plasms ought to help. It’s all very well for them to go on being the same; we have nursed and fed them long enough. Let them help us put the house in order.
