A SHAVE FOR THE BLUES. Here is a remedy for the blues. It can- not be explained, per- haps, nor urged on any ‘reasonable hy- pothesis, but it is ef- fective just the same. We got it froma man who said it had never failed him, and we have tried it three times with the most salutary results. The remedy is simplicity itself. When you get to feel- ing blue go shave. That's all there is to it” You are filled with gloom, and sui- cide looks like the only plain duty. You despise your wife and hate your associ- ates, and the sun looks a dirty, greenish brown, or if you are single your girl looks ugly enough to sit in the corner to split pumpkins over, and you would be willing toseil out for four cents and give time. Now go away quietly by yourself and strop the old razor, lather your face, rub it well, lather again, then take the trusty blade and commence. By the time you reach the lower edge of the jawa mild, warm hopefulness will be felt making its way slowly through your veins. As you cross the chin several bright, animated thoughts thrill through your brain, You start down on the other side and a bri! iant idea shoots into your head, and you have to stop to make a note of it. Just as you are feeling round under your ear and nicking little places in your neck the cloud of gloom sweeps away as fog lifts from the Hackensack meadows, and you are normal and happy once more. For our women readers who have blue spells —well, they can try it but we don’t guar- antee it except for the male persuasion. Speaking of shaving, here is what a barber writes: “A barber who had been at the chair fifty- four years says that dur- ing eighteen years of that time he worked seven days a week and during the re- maining thirty-six years, six days a week. He finds that he had actually worked 17,838 days, that he shaved in all 356,- 760 men, that he shaved 250,445,520 inches of hair, equal to 20,870,460 feet or 3.952 1-2 miles, He further figured out that the actual surface of faces shaved over amounts to 2,003,564,160 ‘square feet, or 222,618,240 square yards, equal to 45.995 1-2 acres. He also found that PRICKLY HEAT - CHAFING quickly cured by Packer's Tar Soap Pure as the Pines Relieves Sunburn, Bites, Stings, etc., like magic. SOOTHING - HEALING - ANTISEPTIC ‘The Packer Mfg. Co, New York. the total number of square inches of hair shingled amounts to 231,180,480, equal to 19,263 040 square feet, or 3,648 3-13 square miles.” Here is another barber on baldness : First and last, I've used tanks of washes and discoveries on bald heads. Do any of them tone up and restore? None of them is satis- factory, to tell the truth. Now and then I run across a scalp that isn't entirely dead to the world, and I manage to induce a growth ; but it is disappointing. It’s a downy, fluffy growth, and it doesn't match in length or color what's left of the original crop. On top a man'll look as if he'd just broken the shell—just been born—and on his neck and around his ears he'll look every minute of sixty years old. The effect is very peculiar and laughable. On the whole, however, there's but one thing for a bald-headed ‘man to do, and that’s to be a brave, bold, bald- headed man,” It may be interesting to note that the barbers are lending quiet aid to the move- ment to abolish whisk- ers. They are talking learnedly about « facial hair housing microbes.” They point out how “sneezing through HEART RIGHT WHEN HE QUIT COFFEE. Life Insurance Companies will not in- sure a man suffering from heart trouble. The reason is obvious. This is a serious matter to the husband or father who is solicitous for the future of his dear ones. Often the heart trouble is caused by an unexpected thing and can be corrected if taken in time and properly treated. A man in Colorado writes : «Twas a great coffee drinker for many years, and was not aware of the injurious effects of the habit till I became a practi- cal invalid, suffering from heart trouble, indigestion and nervousness to an extent that made me wretchedly miserable my- self and a nuisance to those who wit- nessed my sufferings. “I continued to drink coffee, however, not suspecting that it was the cause of my ill-health, till, on applying for life insurance, I was rejected on account of the trouble with my heart. Then I be- came alarmed. 1 found that leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so I quit it alto- gether, and having been attracted by the advertisements of Postum Food Coffee I began its use. “The change in my condition was re- markable, and it was not long till I was completely cured. All my ailments van- ished. My digestion was completely re- stored, my nervousness disappeared, and, most important of all, my heart steadied down and became normal, and on a sec- ond examination I was accepted by the life insurance company. Quitting coffee and using Postum worked the cure.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, There's a reason, and it is explained in the little book, The Road to Wellville,” in each package. the whiskers” makes the whole family of germs laugh with glee. Of course, no whiskered man needs to be told how difficult is the business of eating a soft- boiled egg. All of which seems to show the whisker is doomed.

Where there was a little ‘one-room house beside a rivulet, there are now great brick factories and the sound of the world's work. Then there was only an am- bition ; now there is a business whose ramifica- tions go to the ends of the earth. In 1840, J. B. Williams, then a young chem- ist, discovered, or better, invented, a satisfactory shaving soap. It softened the beard— it did not smart or dry on the face—and it kept the fac healthy. There was no other good shavin soap, and the young man realized that he ha a guod thing, which with typical Yankee ente prise he proceeded to push. Slowly at first, and then faster, but always |witu a steady, healthy growth, the Williams’ | Shaving Soap’ business has increased in size and momentum until now, throughout the civi- lized world, the term ++ Shaving Soap” is insep- arable from * Williams’.”” The causes for this are not far to seek. In the first place, The J. B. Williams Company is the only large house which makes a specialty of shaving soaps. Three-quarters of a centur: of progress in a specialty ought to result in something approaching perfection. Then there is an insistence on the purity of materials, a scrupulous cleanliness and a re- fusal to adopt any of those modern economies which result in an inferior, deleterious article. Any chemist knows what this means. ‘The thick, creamy lather and delicate per- fume are also factors in this success, but the greatest factor of all is the sense cf comfort and well-being which users of Williams’ Shaving Soap experience. In the words of the Com- any, «It was best in 1840 and is still best— the only soap fit for the face.’ tion and better service ering advertisements, You will get more prompt by mentionng Juoce when WILLIAM * SHAVING SOAP Which Would You Choose?
