1t is natural for men who shave
themselves to feel a certain sense of
pride in the possession of fine razor,
and according to the story told by an
Augusta citizen a day or two ago re-
gardirg the quality of his blade it
would seem that his pride at least is
justifiable. AS he tells the story he
was shaving, one morning this week,
when the razor slipped from his hand
and fell to the floor. Visions of a ruin
ed blade flashed through his mind, he
said, but SIS luck would have it the
razor struck the floor edge first. The
floor was of hard wood but the razor
was keen and penetrated the wood to
such a depth that it stood upright.
Quickly pulling the blade from the
wood the man, after glancing at the
edge to see that it was all right, gave
the razor couple of swipes over the
strop and resumed his shaving, the
razor working lust as we'll as ever.

Have You Had The Grip?

There are certain disorders, such as
the grip, that especially debllltate anu
make the body an easy prey for more
dangerous diseases. Ask those who
have had the grip regarding the pres
emf condition of their health and most
of them will answer: Since | had the
grin | have never been well" They
still have profuse perspiratlon, tne
persistent weakness of the limbs, the
disordered digestion, shortness OF
breath and palpitatien of the heart
caused by the thin blooded conditlon
in which the grip almost always leaves
its victim after the fever and influenza
have subsidized. They are furthermore,
at the mercy of relapses and of com
plications, often very serious. In an
attack of the grip there is rapid
thinning of the blood and not until the
blood is built up again is complete
health restored.
