At Last Someone Comes
To Defense of the Barber
80 Many Unkind Things Have Been
Said That New York Writer Rises
to Their Defense and Shows Their
Upward Trend.
New York, Jan. 6 (Special) From
time to time unkind things have been
Mid about barbers, that generally took
the form of declaring them to be more
interested in persecuting their cus
tomers by an oi-or-nmount of conver
sation than in looking after their com
fort while they are being shaved. It
la announced by the authorities at
Bing Sing prison that th internal eco
nomic conditions of the place Is being '
dy affected by the absence of a '
.sufficient number of the members of
the tonsorial profession. Such has
never oeon me case before. Usually
the famous prison harbored enough
men or eacn tff.de to make it a all-
sustaining community. But barbers
have recently fallen off so in attend
ance that there are not enough to do
all the shaving and hair cutting that
is needed to be done. This is likely to
cause considerable surprise. It is gen
erally supposed that the advent at thp
safety razor was such a cause of irri
tation, both financially and mentally.
to the barber, that crime amongst
them was likely to increase. Then too
they have been the victims of a cer
tain class of supposed humor that
would make crime at times seem most
Justifiable by them, and the fact that
they -withstood temptation, and evi
dently attained a higher moral stand"
ard is, under the circumstances, great
ly to be counted in their favor.
Prefers Chamberlain's.
"In the course of a conversation
with Chamberlain Medicine Co.'s rep
resentative today, we had occasion to
discuss in a general way the merits of
their different preparations. At his
suggestion J take pleasure in express
ing my estimation of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I have a family cf
six cniidren and have used this rem
edy in my home for years. I consider
it the only cought remedy on the mar
ket, as I have tried nearly all kinds."
