O HERE THEN is a photographic reproduction of Thos.

W. Lawson's order for

a set of the Complete Writings of Elbert Hubbard. Being interpreted, the order reads as follows:

The Roycroft Fraternity,
East Aurora, Erie County,
New York State.

Friends:

You must send me Elbert Hubbard's Complete Works, express paid, at Two Hundred Dollars per volume, as fast as issued. It is understood that I have the privilege of canceling this order at any time I go broke, at my option.

Thomas W. Lawson,
Boston

Date, Friday, July 30th, 1909.

¶ Seven of the books have been issued and sent to Mr. Lawson. For these he has paid us Fourteen Hundred Dollars and expressed his great satisfaction with the purchase. There are yet thirty-three volumes to be issued, and these will come along, say, at the rate of four or five a year.

Mr. Lawson's set of books will cost him Eight Thousand Dollars, but when the last tome is in Tom's hands the value of the books will be double what he paid for them.

Mr. Lawson is a very wise man, as well as a lover of pinks, pictures and poetry.

Two Exceptional Features

The Reason Why" of

GILLETTE SUCCESS

THE RAZOR:

It's the feel of the Gillette that inspires. You don't have
to learn to use it—you just lather your face, and shave.

The Gillette Razor was built for Shaving. It fits the
Hand, and better, it fits the Face. It has the Curve-of-
Perfect-Pleasure. No matter how you stroke with the
Gillette, it cleaves the growth in perfect form.

It clears the corners and cleans the crevices, it caresses
the cheek and chin. Tho' your skin be rugged or rough,
lined or tender, the Gillette will shave you and leave a
whole surface.

With the Gillette you can't cut yourself. It's a safe "Safety."

THE BLADE:

The Gillette "New-Process" Blade is made of a specially
refined steel of unequaled worth. Paper-thin, with a
cutting edge that never turns dull on the face, it clears
away the toughest, wiriest beard without annoyance or
extra effort.

You may match a "New-Process" against any other Blade
and try it shave for shave-it will outwear them all,
while giving Perfect Service. Or you may conveniently
throw away a "New-Process" Blade after a few shaves,
and use a fresh one. Men who are particularly particular
about their shaving, find the "New-Process" Blade a
comfort and a delight. It's Sanitary.

The Gillette Case, Complete, Vest-Pocket Size, is made in gold, silver or gun-metal. Plain polished or richly engraved. The Razor-Handle and Blade-Box each triple silver-plated or 14-Carat gold-plated-and the blades are fine. Price $5.00 and $7.50. ON SALE EVERYWHERE. You should know Gillette Shaving-Brush-a new brush of Gillette Quality -bristles gripped in hard rubber-and Gillette Shaving-Stick, a shaving-soap worthy of the Gillette Safety-Razor.

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF

Voltaire

Famous St. Hubert Guild Edition

The Only Complete Edition ever published in English. New translations by William F. Fleming. This edition contains the celebrated Tobias Smollett notes taken from the famous Eighteenth Century translation, specially edited and revised for this work. It also contains a masterly critique and biography of Voltaire by Rt. Hon. John Morley, M. P.

YOU ALL KNOW VOLTAIRE

Justice Seabury, sitting in the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court, New York, N. Y., in handing down a decision recently, made this statement in connection with the writings of Voltaire: "Differ as men may as to the views of Voltaire on many questions, none can deny the great influence of his work in promoting justice and humanity and the reign of reason in public affairs.

OLTAIRE was exiled from his country, yet rose again and again on the the crest of popular and fashionable favoritism, and had the leaders of the Courts of France, England and Germany for devoted worshippers, VOLTAIRE was the foremost of Philosophers, the most eminent of Historians, the most brilliant of Wits, the most subtle of Satirists, a terror to tyranny, a champion of suffering, a lovely and loving and amorous poet, a most perceptive traveler, a very Shakespeare in drama and, as a teller of stories, the drollest and richest that the world has ever known.

So numerous are his subjects, so many his styles, so sound his reasoning, so beautiful his fancy and so gay his humor, that his writings are most instructive, intensely interesting and a pleasure for every mood of the human mind.

VOLTAIRE'S works, one and all, are masterpieces. T Vast, incomprehensive as is human life, every phase of the known and every speculation as to the unknown is to be found in his wonderful writings.

As a man of letters and master of style he is supreme.

VOLTAIRE is commended by all authorities, many placing him above Shakespeare. He is so great, his writings so profound, yet of such deep interest, as to be above discussion.

As to the efficacy of vocal

written upon the impiety of the pious. Through the printed and spoken thoughts of religious teachers may almost everywhere be traced a professed familiarity with the ultimate mystery of things, which, to say the least of it, seems anything but congruous with the accompanying expressions of humility And, surprisingly enough, the tenets which most clearly display. this familiarity, are those insisted upon as forming the vital elements of religious belief The attitude thus assumed

can be fitly represented only by further developing a simile long current in theological controversies-the simile of the

HOW

FOODS

CURE

I can tell you HOW FOODS CURE-that is, how to select, combine and proportion your foods, so as to remove the causes of all kinds of stomach and intestinal trouble and all forms of malnutrition. Then Nature will do the curing. Health is your natural condition. Disease is an unnatural condition. Health being natural, it follows that you can secure it only by obeying natural laws. The most important of these laws is that governing nutrition. Food is the building materialthe iron, stone and timber of the human temple. If your food (your building material) is wrong, you will be sick. If it is selected and combined rightly, you will be well, full of life and vim. Food is fundamental. It is the chief factor in making both health and disease, according to how it is used. My methods are as far advanced in the science of health, as wireless telegraphy is in the transmission of thought. Why not investigate them? The following letter speaks for itself: Los Angeles, Cal., August 25th, 1909

Mr. Eugene Christian, Dear Sir and Friend:

Today is my 67th birthday and I am celebrating it by writing a few
words to my "Savior," for such you are, Eugene Christian.

Now, you need not blush or make light of it, for I not only owe
my last two birthdays to you but I have enjoyed every day of my life for the
last year and a half, and that stands to your credit also, and I thank you, as I
thank God for the privilege of learning the truly scientific way to feed the
physical body.
Yours sincerely, DANIEL WARREN

If you are ill-not up to the mark in every respect, no matter what the trouble is-send for my little book, "How Foods Cure." It is mailed free, together with a blank on which you can mail me all your symptoms, and we will tell you just what your condition is.
