manufacturers of similar razors should,
fail to combine. and should also fail
to advance their prices to correspond

idea that good razors are costly lux

the time Is near when Congress must
advance some remedy for the rapidly
increasing cost OF plain living. II RAJ,

the result: what they desire As lower

people, then the increase ought not to
be made, especially at such a time as

They should be able TO take UP the Ar

kill the ArmenIans came from Con-

officials at those places refused to car
