SAVESYOURTIMEAND MONEY
At This Particular Season of the Year
Both Are Well Worth
Saving
What is more valuable at this time,
while the I'ulctide is approaching, than
time! Somebody who is watching the
exchequer saps "money." Well, save
both time and money, then. Howf It's
oasy.
You have a cousin "down home''
that expects you to send the usual
Christmas present. Then there are
these friends that you visited last sum
mer, who ought to be remembered.
There are some other out-of-town folks,
too. who'll expect a little remembrance.
This will all require time and money.
But here's where the saving comes in.
•lust clip coupons from the Star-Inde
pendent a-nd present each one of these
friends with a genuine flexible leather
$5 Bible. Nothing can be more appro
priate. The $5 volume is a most beau
tiful book, stamped in gold and packed
in a box which bears the label giving
the retail price, $5, and no other marks
appear thereon, so it'becomes a $5 pres
ent for only one coupon and the small
expense bonus amount to defray the
I necessary items of distribution.
Now, isn't that a real saving of time
and money! Everybody will appreci
ate such a present, too
To-day's coupon is printed on an
other page of this issue. Clip it and
save both time and money.

"BOW CAUSES CLOSE SHAVE
Customer Minus Part of Nose in Bar
ber Shop Excitement
Pittsburgh, Dec. 16. —William White
had just been talked to sleep in the
barber shop of John Beymer on the
North Side when with a crash of glass
through the front window came a piece
of lead pipe with a burning "fuse"
attached. So startled was Beymer that
a quick movement of his razor shaved
White's nose. All except White lied.
White grabbed a towel to stop the
blood, and noting the lighted ''bomb"
drenched it with a mug of water. Bar
bers and patrons cautiously crept back
and found the bomb dead.
Police who were summoned found
the "bomb's" fuse ""as rope, and that
the lead pipe was empty. »The ends
had been hammered together to hold
the rope in position.
White lost a good portion of his
nose. The police are searching lor the
"bomb" thrower.
