Concerning the Beard

22UHETHER you wcur n beard or not,
kAuyou will be interested IN following
w the rather curious facts about this
hiraute adornment. In Biblical times the
beard was necessity. as its absence wns
considered sign OF icprosy, Because
Philip v. OF Spain was unable to grow a
beard the gentlemen of his court sncrl-
dced their own In order to save their
sovereign embarrassment. When Cicero
was exiled the young men of Rome lot
their boards grow as q Sign OF mourning
An attempt was made TO place d tax Oh
boards by Henry Will and Queen Eliza
beth OF England, but public sentiment
WIS 80 strongly against 1t that the at
tempt was dropped. During the reign of
James J. II was quito 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 q priestly ne
rcssity, The troublesome custom or shaw
Ing came originally from Egypt The
Greeks shaved after they had been cou-
uucred by the Romans. And tho Romans
shaved during the decline OF the empire.
In the present day some medical authorl-
tics claim that tho beard is unhealthy,
bince It catches germs which arc kept
