what have you got there2" queried Mrs
Bower. - her hsgs lord made display Of q
small package when he came home the other
evening.
Mrs Bower" he replied. o. he sat down
and carefully handled the package, "did you
read OF that case in Troy where q barber cut a
customer slightly on the cheek and he died Of
blood pois0niugg"
No. Saw You've gone and got another
shaving OUTFIT"
Another? When did ever have oneY-
You got one two or three years ago in De-
troit, and how did YOU come out with ir Mr..
Bowser, you do the most foolish things of anv
man ever heard of in all my life"
Il do, eh? Is 10 foolish FOR me to wat 10
avoid blood poisoning by shaving myself. 20
say nothing of the enormous saving of money
Yes, did get an outfit in Detroit but had a
boil on my arm and couldn't handle the razor
That was cheap outfit, just as an experiment
And you cut yourself and prauced
around and whooped until tho neighbors
thought We had 9 ire How much did this
outfit cost?'
''0nly Sl0"
Ten dollars thrown right away
ia ig Let's see about that. Having nv
own outfit can shave daily. That's 70 cents a
week or s2.s0 per month. Seems 70 me that
sS4 per year is worth saving. In the twenty
years have been shaving 1 could have saved
the tribe Of ESQ. Who're are YOU now, Mrs.
Bowsorr'

and that'l end it,"

great surprise In store for you. I've been TAX

razor and can shave clean in exactly four
minutes. Easiest thing in the world when you

We'll, suppose you'll try il in spite Of any,
LING can say, but L shall decline 10 be held

Irresponsible. Trouble! How could hold
you responsible? And what trouble can there

the house down because you cut you- ear"
