One thing that cannot be overlooked In the growing of pigs and the fatten- ing of bogs is pure clean water for them to drink. One successful feeder always gives his bogs all the clean water they will drink before he gives them their grain ra tion.

It is not. The open -blade costs you 52.00 to buy and at least 25c. a year to keep honed and in condition. Total, $2.25 for the first year. The GILLETTE, with 12 double-edged blades, costs 55.00, and a second box of blades (should your beard be very tough) adds 51.00. Total, $6.00 for first year. Difference 53.75. Looks bad for the GILLETTE, eh ? But wait ! The three-minute GILLETTE will save you 5 to 10 minutes every time you shave. Put it at 5. That's over three working days a year. Isn't your time worth over $1.25 a day ? When you're nearly late for the train or an important engagement, the five minutes which the GILLETTE saves you is apt to be worth several times the whole cost. Then there's the comfort of the clean. cool, easy GILLETTE shave -worth in itself several times the difference in price. For real economy -time and face as well as cash considered -buy a GILLETTE and enjoy it. S1a.dar•d Sets SS -O0. Peeket Editions 45.00 to WOO.
