Facts
about the beard
How to eliminate hot towels and finger-rubbing
in shaving

Every hair of the beard is coated with
natural oil. And that oil has been an
obstacle in shaving.
The ordinary shaving soap or cream
fails to cope effectively with this oil.
Thus the beard cannot absorb water
enough or quickly enough to make the
hair cut easily. That is why men have
had to use hot towels and the beard
with the fingers - to force Il ture into
the beard.

A better way

Hot towels make the skin too tender.
Finger rubbing means delay.
And with Palmolive Shaving Cream,
these methods are not needed. For this
is lather that instantly emulsihes the
oil-coating on the beard. Thus the water
penetrates the stifest beard quickly.
And each hair Is easy to cut.

A Happy Xmas to You All

At this recurring festival to
celebrate the birth of the Savior,
it is perhaps well to remember
who and what He was. according
to record wonderful creation
born out of the ordinary process
of nature of Royal Lineage yet
withal Of humble maternal par
entage His birth was heralded by
angels with the promise of peace
on earth and good will to all. The
conciliatory declaration has and
will be il effect till the peace
promise is accomplished. Though
at this time it seems as far off
as when promised, yet the peace
promised will surely be accom-
plishcd in due time.
Chrit'S mission is a complete
one, first as inheritor of his Faith
er's Kingdom, and second to free
the slave which latter includes
every human being for the rea-
son that we are all economic
slaves both poor and rich in vary
ing degrees. Christ was no rich
man, but an ordinary workman,
a poor carpenter and met his death
because He championed the cause
of the worker in addition to adj
vocating His llingly title. 1t is
without doubt the most wonder
