WISH WHISKERS REMOVED

Many Persons Write to Seymour Druggist For Ointment. Columbus, Ind., Feb. 12. When Joseph Griner brought suit against George F. Meyer, a Seymour druggist, for |5,000 damages for giving him an ointment which is alleged to have ruined his whiskers, he little knew of the free advertising there was in store for Meyer. Now the Seymour druggist is receiving letters from all parts of the country from people *vho wish their whisk ers removed. "If you have a preparation that will remove hair on the face it is just what I want,” writes a man from Indianapolis. An Evansville woman incloses stamps for a sample. Another inquiry comes from Galveston, Tex. The man says barbers always sneak out of the shop when they see him coming, and his beard is too heavy for him to shave himself.
