SHAVE WITH HOT STEEL.
This Is the Advice of an Old Cutler
to Those Who Have Their
Own Razors.

THE Old English Cutler" arrived
in New York the other day after an
absence of nine years, in which time
he has walked $4,000 miles between
the Pacific and Atlantic, honing ra-
zors and grinding scissors.
Whenever 1 homes razor" said
he, Il always give some advice with
1T, free gratis, and 1 takes great sat
1sfaction in knowing that 1 have
made shaving easier and more COM
Portable for more than 10000 men,
Most every barber will tell you how
to strop razor, but it takes cutler
to tell you how to care for your strop,
and how to get the best work out of
your blade.
"A swing strop, canvas on one side
and horse hide on the other, is the
best Always hold it taut, and draw
the razor lightly but swiftly from
heel to point. If you let the strop
sag, you will put a round edge on
the blade. Don't forget to cover your
strop, or put it away in a drawer,
after using. if it hangs in bathroom,
near window. The dust and CRIME
gets into it, and soon takes the edge
from your razor. Whether you keep
the strop covered or whether you

But what I consider my most valu-
able advice is how to do away with
shaving paper entirely and at the
same time improve the cutting quail
ty of the razor's edge. Nine men
out of ten shave themselves in a
room where there is running hot wa
ter Now, the way to get a most
gratifying result is this: Lather
thickly and well and let it remain on
the face half a minute before you be-
gin to shave. If you have time. wash
it off. for with it will come the grit
and dirt that you have loosened up
in the pores of the skin, and then ap-
ply second coat. 1t wifi be as soft,
smooth and clean as new velvet
Now turn on the hot-water faucet
and let it run. Hold the razor under
the stream until it is heated. Then
take slanting or diagonal stroke
like farmer does with a scythe, not
square pull. and you will be amazed
to find how beautifully and easily the
hot blade cuts the beard.
when it is filled with latber hold
it under the running hot water. in
stead of using shaving paper That
will wash off the lather and, at the
same time. heat the blade again.
Don't be afraid of taking out the tenn
| per. That would be impossible if Won
put the razor in a kettle and boiled
it. Try the hot blade and you'll
never shave with the cold steel
again.

CIGAR BAND FAD PENALTIES
The Collecting Habit Puts Smokers
to a Great Deal of An
noyance

Would you mind taking the band
off that cigar carefully and give it to
me?" asked Westside of Rivers. as
they both lit up
Sorry said Rivers, according to
the New York World, but I'm saving
them, too. l was just about to ask
you for yours
so your little girl has the collect
ing habit?" said Westside Il thought
my young lady was the only one in
our set who had been seized with the
epidemic
L should say not. My little girl
began collecting cigar bands three
months ago, and since then my days
have been filled with responsibility.
l buy cigars according to the bands
now, having given up my old favorites
because she had plenty of the bands
of that kind. AS soon as l get a dozen
or so bands of one kind she begins to
wish for a different sort, having
snapped all her, duplicates with her
friends. Then 1 look for an unknown
brand, and the strange band tickIes
her immensely"
Same with me-" said Westside IF
I don't arrive home with half a dozen
bands every night she thinks I'm neg
lectlnS ner, and II don't smoke that
number of cigars a day 1 have to beg
bands
And he produced a handful of cigar
bands, gaudy gold and red things. AS
soon as Rivers eyes saw them he was
all eagerness.
Let's see those" he said.- by jove
there's several there that my little girl
hasn't got Have you got any more
like those?"
"A couple" said Westside. 'I'H
swap you one for anything you've got
that my little girl hasn't got''
Whereupon there was an exchange
MY little girl has nearly 1000
bands" said Westside How many
has yours?'
Il haven't counted Them" said Riv-
ers, but she has four or five albums
filled and a lot she hasn't put in the
books Say, your little girl ought to
know my little girl. They might swap
some of their duplicates
That's SO. I'll bring her around
Sunday. Say, will you have a fresh
cigar?"

FACTS GUARANTEED
Neuralgia and Anaemia are Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.


For nearly a generation the people of
this country have known DR. Williams
Pink Pills, during which time proof of
thousands of cures by this remedy has
been published and confirmed and not
one person has been harmed i'll the slight
est degree by their use. The pills con-
tain no opiate, narcotic or stiinulant,
nor any drug which could injure the
most delicate constitution.
s'For over a year, says Miss Charlotte
Van Salisbury, of Castleton, NY, 81
suffered from neuralgia and palpitation
of the heart. My skin was pale and sal
low and was troubled with dizziness,
was very nervous and would start at the
slightest sound. At times great weak
ness would come over me and OH one oc-
casion my limbs gave way under me and
I fell to the sidewalk.
'Of course I was treated by our local
physicians and also consulted a noted
doctor at Albany, but nothing they gave
me seemed to benefit me. One day I
read in a newspaper about DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and I imme-
diately gave them a trial. I soon felt
much better and my color had begun to
return. I continued using the pills and
by the time I had taken eight boxes I
was entirely cured.
ssMy sister, Sarah Van Salisbury, suf-
fered terribly from anRmia- She was
pale and thin and we feared that she
would become a victim of consumption.
She tried DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and in short time she be-
gan to gain in strength and weight
She is now strong and well and we both
heartily recommend DIR. Williams Pink
Pills to all who are in i'll health"
