A new light will dawn on your shaving problem when you strop a NEW blade Most men think that a new blade right out of the wrapper will give the finest safety razor shave possible. It doesn't. To give the best results, a safety razor bade, like the blade of an old-fashioned razor needs stropping before you first use it—and regularly thereafter. Here's what Mr. Megrund says: “When I used the Twinplex st blade you sent me, I at once not it hada keener edge than any new blade I had used and decided to get a Twinplex although I was skeptical as to whether I, myself, could put such an edge on a blade. But now that I have tried it and find that I can strop my own blades and really improve a new one, I'll say I would not sell it for any price if I could not get another, as itisthebestaidtosmooth shaving I ever had.” Signed) N H. C. Megrurtl, Shelly, Minn. Why not send for a blade as Mr. Megrund did and see for yourself? Stropped NEW Blade Free Name your razor and we'll send you, free, a NEW blade stropped on a Twinplex.

He sighed, “This world’s a fleeting show; Our empty lives have no excuse; We strive and toil; we come and go; And where’s the good and what's the use!” And still beside the purling stream, In care of doughty ram and bull, The cows went right on brewing cream, The sheep went right on sprouting wool, 1 groaned, “I know the way you feel; We just drag on till something stops; And still the calves keep making veal, And still the lambs keep growing chops. “We're tossed about like bits of cork, Or ocean weed, or empty kegs; And still the pigs keep adding pork, And still the hens keep laying eggs. “And still the bears keep raising fur, And still the bees keep working too. I don't know why these things occur, And yet I'm sometimes glad they do.” —Arthur Guiterman, in Saturday Evening Post. Guest One of the several good cymbal play- ers in New York is Hans Goettich, of the New York Symphony. The other eve- ning a lady found her way backstage to do a little private beaming on the musi- cians toward whose support she con- tributes. She picked out Hans to talk to, obviously seeing in him a possible soloist for a party she was planning. “I enjoyed your playing so much,” she said. “Do come to the house next Tuesday evening for a little supper and bring your instrument with you. Evening dress, you know.” When you ask Hans about this party you learn that he went. “Oh, yes,” he says, “I went to the lady's zooper. Und I took mein zymbals with me.” —New Yorker. In the Day’s News A Cicaco man whipped and dis- persed two bandits who attempted to hold him up. The policeman who finally came to his aid complimented him on the fight he put up and asked the amount of the roll he was fighting so hard to protect. The man had a quarter. And if that doesn’t remind you of the story about the Scotchman, then you have missed a very old and very good story. —Kansas City Star. Not for Exit Srovr Tirataicat.
