“JUDGE” AND THE BARBERS. LITTLE time ago Jupce had some- A thing to say im this column about parber-shop readers. The stale joke re- flecting on the character of the literature supplied to those waiting for a shave or a hair-cut was dealt with as it deserves, and the further statement was ventured that the barber-shop patron ranks near the top in pure literary taste and discretion. Apropos of this contention, we found an intelligent and discriminating opinion in our favor in an editorial in the Atlanta Journal, which we quoted from approv- ingly and at length, The Yournal boldly asserted that the barber-shop out-Carne- gied Andrew Carnegie as a boost to high- that they have said nothing because there is nothing to say. The facts are all on the side of JupGE and the barbers. Tne latter, on the other hand, have showered blessings upon us for’ our generous, though belated, recognition of the liter- ary standing of their profession. They know the truth of our statement, that it is the shrewdest, the most wide-awake, the cleverest, the most progressive men who frequent ‘the barber-shops and who find in the intervals of tonsorial treatment time to apply themselves to the means of the best culture. THE BARBER-SHOP A FORUM. The barbers are in a position to see the full force of the Georgia editor's assertion class literature. This contention was that “the barber-shop is the national THE BARBERS’ FRIEND. Prosperous ratron—‘* You barbers be because of the comic ‘cuts '—what ?”° seem to be friendly to Jupce. Must Prosperous sarser—‘' Well, you know we have to have a little fun in our business,"* maintained with such cleverness that we were convinced and readily enough adopted it as our own view. It pleased us to take advantage of the allowable in- ference and to conceive of JUDGE as the chief and shining pillar in the temple of letters. So far as we know, we were the first to visualize to a waiting world the tonsorial underpinning of our boasted literature, A REGULAR TONSORIAL FURORE. We were not prepared for the furore which followed this pronunciamento. Happily for us, for no other reason than that we hate controversy, the furore has been all one way. No college president forum, the national university. Baseball, religion, politics, business, horse-racing, the immortality of the soul, the foul-strike rule, the divorce evil, the chances of filling a four-flush, football, manners, hygiene, morals, matrimony, high finance, are under continual discussion there.” The barbers, further, know the truth of the Journal statement that “the han- dling which the barber bestows upon the human head has a great deal to do with stimulating cerebral activity.” In short, the justice of our position has met with such universal acclaim from the whole barber-shop world, with never an oppos- ing voice from the schools and universi- ties, that we venture to call this one of The London Daily Chronicle gives the following names of places and their pronunciation.

I was a moderate user of coffee and did not think drinking it hurt me. But on stopping it and using Postum instead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to the change from coffee to Postum. “I am prescribing it now in cases of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree. or affects the heart, nerves or stomach. “When made right it has a much bet- ter flavor than coffee, and is a vital sus- Tired Nature's Sweet Restorer, Balmy Ale— of Evans’ Clave, Hotels, Restaaranta, Dealers. This is too good to keep. One of my New York customers called on the President of a downtown bank. The banker was smoking, and, opening the drawer of his desk, said : “T will offer you a cigar that I would think pretty good were it not for the price, but Thate to offer one to a man without telling him that I pay only $5.00 per hundred for them, By this time the box was out and my customer, recog- ig the brand, replied: Don't apologize, I smoke them myself.” The cigars were my Shivers Panatelas. The only difficulty I have in making business grow is to get men, that is, men who are ten and. fifteen cent’ cigar smokers, to try my cigars. A man who has spent his life in the leaf tobacco busi- ness and knows tobaccos as the silk expert knows silk, says “that if the men who smoke in this country really appreci- ated what you are doing for the individual smoker, the cigar factory large enough for your business has not yet been built.” All ask is for a fair chance to have my cigars tried.
