“TIGHT WADS” VS.
“DEAD BROKES”
The pther day a young fellow came to
me to borrow $8.50. He had secured a
position and this money was needed be
fore he could pay his railway fare to tho
position awaiing him. I have known that
voung man for two years or more; he is
something like twenty-five years of age;
has good health; has had work when he
wanted work; has a good personal ap
pearance; carries himself well; has no
so-called “bad habits”—except the very
bad habit of spending all he makes as
he makes it. In consequence as soon as
he is out of work he is out of money and
tba necessity of finding a friend,

Why do so many of
Uncle Sam’s Boys use the Gillette ?
JjET a man spend just one week in the Service—then give him free choice of all the
makes of razors there are. He’ll reach for the Gillette first, and hold on to it— every
time. There’s nothing like seeing the Gillette idea work out in the experience of thou-
sands of men—under extreme conditions.
Here is the No Stropping, No Honing prin
ciple—tested and approved by millions of men
in the world at peace.
The world goes to war. Millions of men spring
to arms—and the one razor that survives the
test of war conditions on a world-wide scale is
the No Stropping, No Honing Gillette.
There isn’t a regiment in the field today un
der any of the Allied Flags but numbers more
users of Gillettes than of all other razors put
together. There isn’t a condition that a man

It’s no longer “good form” among a
host of young fellows to have money. Ow
ing their laundrywoman, or landlady, or
tailor, or borrowing from friends is the
conventional thing, but to be called a
“tight wad,” that is unendurable dis
grace. It never seems to occur to them
that if there were no “tlght-wads" there
would be nobody for them to borrow from
when they are broke.

FRENCH POILU AFRAID?
BAH !
A worker for the American Red Cross in
France has found a poilu who was afraid.
Somewhere in France an American wo

It was then midnight.
“Four o’clock,” was the answer.
“There is a comfortable dormitory
where you can sleep until your thain
comes.” said the Red Cross woman.
“Oh, yes. Madam, I have seen it, but
I am afraid.”
“A-f-r-a-i-d?” the canteen worker
gasped, having never before heard such
words from a poilu of rFance.
“Afraid I should never wake up to
catch my train; such comfort. Oh! la, la.’*
The canteen w’orker looked relieved.
Her ideal of the poilu was not shattered.
“Mr. Poilu." she explained, laughingly,
“Don't be afraid. Go and sleep. Ton
will be awakened by a Boy Scout at any
time you wish,'**
