SHAVING IN ITALY.
The Barber Must Have Used a Cross
cut Saw on This Victim,

Italy may be the land Of the flea, but
it is not the home of the shave.
The BARRIERS there are generally re-
cruited from the ranks of the butchers
or the medical students. They must
be able to stand the sight of blood.
In the early days of medicine ply
sictans called In BARRIERS to do their
bleeding for them.

fathers.

proachfully. does not my father own

his head--if he Is still able-and has a
coat Of brilliantine applied to his hair.
He then totters home and. after his
