Jarvis Smith, or "Jarve," as he is
called. "Jarve" has a. unique meth
cd of removing his superfuous hair,
and while it is possibly original with
himself, it is not a secret. He has
no patent upon it, and rather prefers
others to follow his example, if they
wish to practice economy The
process can be done anywhere, in the
parlor, on the street, in the field or
on the woodlot, and "Jarve" does it
when he finds it necessary, regardless
OF where he happens to be.
Smiths method is by singeing
After dipping piece of wood into
kerosene oil and igniting it he starts

side of his face, then the other. the
