Anti-Microbe Shaving.

In Jermyn street is what is stod to be the
only antiseptic, microbe-procf barber shop
in London. The first impression Is rather
grimly suggestive of a private operating
surgery. The walls are tiled. There is
no upholstery anywhere. The chairs are
of metal, with head subject to frequent
disinfecting. The basins are made with
pedal taps to avoid the contaMinating
touch of human fingers. Everything your
eyes rest on seems to say: There are no
germs on me-" The barber Is clad in
sterilized overalls. He explains that that
is to prevent any OF his own personal and
private stock of microbes from migrating
to you. Before beginning to operate on
you he dips his hands into some germ
destroying solution. and he assures you
that the razor is sterilized afresh for each
customer. From q capsule he empties
into a sterilized vessel just enough soap
powder to supply the iather needed for
one shaving job. 1t seems that danger
may Turk in soap that has been used to
shave some other fellow. The price
charged for the operation is sixpence.- -
