But when these same plays moved to Broadway, and began to yield their author fat royalty checks, O'Neill was classified as a gold digger who had commercialized his art.

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. ‘The R. L. Watkins Co., Cleveland, Ohio. comicbooks.com
