rates from Fremont to the same towna.
The railroads do aot deny that such Is
the case, but say that the Omaha and
Fremont rates are through ratea, while
the rata from Orand Island to these
towns IS a local one oa 4 mileage basts.
What the Orand Island pseple want Is to
have this changed and what are called
jobbing rates established for the town,
asserting ths Industry baa attained suf
ficient proportions to warrant this. The
railroads do not want to make any more
Jobbing center rates than possible, as

sow they cannot nas the lines at night
aa the Eagle exchange doee not keep aa
operator on duty after the early hours
of the evening. They further assert the
sen-lee at all hours Is net so good, as
formerly. The Lincoln Telephone com
pany, ths purchasers of the property, say
that ths fcagls exchange Is a local con
cern with which they have only an oper
ating agreement and If the people have
any kick they should make It against tlie
local company and that the Protestants
themselves have the power ta remedy the
difficulty, which is one of service by their

Financier's Daily Bracer
Three Minute Morning Shave
Never Misses Using Gillette, Because It "Keys
; Him Up" for the Day's Business
: This Interesting incident is told concerning a man high up in
the financial world. He was talking about shaving. " I'm under
a constant nervous strain," is the way he spoke. "When I used
to have a man shave me, I fretted every minute he fussed
with my face. It exhausted me and left me Irritable for a long
time after.
' "Contrast that with the quick, delightful, invigorating; shave that
I get with my Gillette and you'll see why I'm in the habit of telling
my friends the Gillette shave is my morning bracer."
It is' the same with men of action everywhere. They like the
Gillette for its wonderfully refreshing effect its case, cleanliness and
convenience. They find it a big saving of time and irritation. No
bother with stropping or honing no risks of the open blade.
What the Gillette Will Do
for You
Whtever yocr shaving habits may be,
no matter how tender your skin or tough
and wiry your beard, the Gillette will
give you a clean velvet shave.
. It will give you a light shave or close
shave (closer than a barber dare give
you), with no roughness, no irritation.
It is not necessary that you know how
to shave yourself. You do not need to be
tool-wise" or handy. There is no strop
ping, no honing.
You quickly get the knack of the
Gillette and you will learn little individual
shave-timplifying tricks every day you
use it.
The wonder of the Gillette is its adapt
abilitythe way it meets individual
seeds.
Every man's face is different. Your
beard is individual in the way it grows
and its shaving requirements.
The adjustment of the Gillette will suit
your beard and your skin. The Gillette
will saVe you time and money and it is
safe.
Think of the comfort of it; the ability
to shave in two or three minutes in the
morning as regularly as you wash your
face. The convenience and simplicity
no litter of strops and hones. No danger
of bad cuts and scratches.
Don't Put It Off-Bay a Gillette

fort and economy, it should be in the bands of
every man in thit city with a beard to thave.
Don't be without it another day.
