Concerning the Beard

HE HETHER you wear a beard or not,
aAEyou will be interested in following
Wv the rather curious facts about this
hirsute adornment. In Biblical times the
beard was a7necessity, as its absence was
considered a sign of leprosy. Because
Philip V. Of Spain was unable to grow
beard the gentlemen OF his court sacri-
feed their own in order to save their
sovereign embarrassment. When Cicero
was exiled the young men Of Rome let
their boards grow as a sign of mourning.
An attempt was made TO place a tax on
boards By Henry VIII. and Queen Eliza
beth of England. but public sentiment
was so strongly against it that the at
tempt was dropped. During the reign OF
James /. 1t was quite the proper thing to
trim the beard in fantastic shapes; even
animals were so represented. While the
priests of the Roman Catholic Church do
not wear boards, those of the Greek
Church consider the beard a priestiy ne
cessity..i The troublesome custom of shay
ing came originally from Egypt The
Greeks shaved after they had been con-
quered by the Romans. And the Romans
shaved during the decline OF the empire.
In the present day some medical authori-
tics claim that the beard Is unhealthy.
since it catches germs which are kept
alive by the warmth OF the breath. while
others contend It is a protection to the
throat from diseases OF the iarynx.
