RAZOR
The Multi-Blade Razor
is essentially an "old style"
razorr except that it has
removal blades and a guard that can be
instantly attached, making it a perfect
safety razor. It was designed to meet
the demands of thousands of men who I
prefer to shave with a flexible, keen cut-
ting diagonal stroke of an old style razor
but who cannot hone a razor and keep
it in cutting condition. It lies flat against
the face, slicing the hair off smoothly.

Tears ago, when the Billows were
trying - to keep Dora from marrying
Nathaniel Hippie, Mrs. Ripple was try
ing to keep Nathaniel from marrying
Dora. The Dillows didn't think much
of the Ripple family, Claude Cullan
writes in Kansas City Star. In fact,
they told Dora that If she took Na
thaniel she would he marrying be
neath herself. -f'
Mrs. Itfpple didn't know tbut the
Billows considered themselves better
than Uie IHjBl'les, so she was not angry
at the family. And she liked Dura.
"I think Dora is a good, sweet
girl," she said to her son, "hut any
body can look at her and tell she isn't
able to do a day's work.
"You can do as you please, but If I
' were you I inn er would marry a deli
cate girl like Dora. I know how much
work a woman has to do In a home and
! I know that Dora Billow can't ilo it.
! If you were able to hire help It would
be all right. Your poor old mother
I never has had any help, hut I would be
glad for my Bona' wives to keep help
If my sons could allord It.
"Now, as I f aid, I haven't a word to
say against Dora, but If I were you
and wanted to marry I would find a

or directly over old cracked plaster and dingy wall paper.
Beaver Board has endless uses about the farm. It's
just the thirix o line your work shop and it's even better
for the. building of a beautiful new room in some waste
space in the house.
In a new booklet, "UuildlnK More Comfort into tbo
