Prominent members of that body as
sert that Mrs. Rafter has used her In

ther her aspirations to become a mem
ber of the 'Kducatlon Board. Mrs.

strongly opposed to barring man led
teachers from the schools, sho did not
wish to causo any friction among board
members by openly opposing tho rec
ommendation of the committee when
the matter 'ast came up and was
lirstlly disposed of.
Members of the Mothers' Congress
have strongly Indorsed tho movement
to repeal tho rule which virtually bars
married teachers from the grades, and
they aro using Mis. Rhodes' innction In
tho matter as campaign material to
push Mrs. Rafter's rc-clcclloii as head
of the Mothers' Congress, which they

taining her uppolntmcnt as a member
of the Board of Kducatlon In June.

do more effective work only If it keeps
out of any partisan strife, and vvorl.s
nlth all members of the school system
on a strictly neutra1 basis. They as
sert that Mrs. Rafter violated thi
principle in her active efforts to obtain
n place on the Board of Kducatlon
when Mrt. Rhodes -was npolntcd tin re
vears ago. and again in openly endeav
oring to obtain the. appointment tins

farmers are given special concessions
In some State laws on the subject, but

Teaches'48 Years.
WESTKIELD, N. J., April 8 After
teaching school forty-eight consecutive
year here. Miss Elizabeth Stryker no

retire at tho end of the term.
Girls If you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for It will
starvo your hair and ruin It It you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash It out. The only sure
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 nrvon; apply It at night when re
tiring; use enough to moisten tho scalp
and run it in gentry wrin mo linger lips.
By morning, most If not all, of your
dandruff will bo gone, and threo or four
moro applications will completely dis
solve nnd entirely destroy every slnglo
sign and trace of It.
You will find, too, that all Itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel a hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at ariy
drug store. It Is Inexpensive and four
ounces Is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple rcmcly never falls. Advt.
