Good Advice to Women.

Every woman owes it to herself and
her family to look as well as she can,
and one Of the primo factors of beauty
is good complexion. We cannot al
ways retain the rosebud coloring that
belonged to sweet sixteen but there are
many matrons of thirty five, who look
fully ten years older, because they have
not taken the proper care Of them
selves. A morning bath in water cool
enough to be invigorating, but not cold
enough to chill the body, is not only
necessary for cleanliness, but is great
beautifer as well. This is quickly
accomplished by wringing towel out
of the water and going over the body as
rapidly as possible. Then rub with a
dry towel, until the flesh is ali in glow.
Avoid cosmetics. They may improve
your appearance for time, but they
clog the pores of the skin, and will
certainly prove Injurious if persisted in.
Many woman has ruined good COM
pleXion in this way Eat plain, whole
some food, avoiding preserves, rich
pastry or cake, and fat meat. Exercise
freely in the open air. A brisk walk
one hour every day is necessary for
those whose duties keep them closely
confined the remaider Of the time.
Wash the face every morning, and at
night just before retiring with good
soap and hot water. Ivory soap is
better for this purpose than the highly
colored and perfumed toilet soaps,
because Of its purity and its price
places it within the reach of everyone.
When thoroughly cleansed, rinse with
clear water and dry with a soft towel.
After washing at night, apply mixture
composed of equal parts of glycerine
and rose water, rubbing it we'll into the
skin. If the face is tanned from ex-
posure to the sun and wind, a little
lemon juice added to this lotion will
whiten it, and is perfectly harmless.
Cultivate cheerful disposition.
Nothing Is so destructive of good looks
as constantly worrying over petty cares
and trials, and while nervous women
cannot entirely control this habit,
many of them indulge in gloomy
fancies more than the circumstances
would warrant.-Word and Work.

Local Telephone Exchange.

There is only one sentiment in regard
to establishing another exchange and
that is in favor of the enterprise. The
simple fact that the Wisconsin Tele-
phone Company have reduced. their
prices until further notice" is not
sufficient to stay the progress of the
new movement. The enterprise should
90 on first because it will pay a divi-
dend to every user of telephone each
month and every dollar spent for the
use Of phones will remain right here.
AS it is at present about 5000 net is sent
every month to Milwaukee. Secondly
we owe it to the business men of
Wausau and Merrill to join them in an
honorable endeavor to down one of the
greatest monopolies in the state and
relieve ourselves from an unjust burden
Of taxation for the use Of telephones
Let no man Waver in his decision to
have another exchange.
The following is a complete list of
those who have subscribed for stock.
About 80 more will take phones who
don't feel able to take any stock:
We the undersigned hereby subscribe
for and agree TO take the number Of
shares of stock in the Wood County
Telephone Company set opposite our
respective name The cost of one share
to be Fifty ($500O) 1t is mutually
agreed between the subscribers hereto
that this subscription to stock shall not
be binding until four-fifths of those
connected with the telephone exchange
now located at Grand Rapids have

HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
The old Wisconsin Telephone Com
pany has taken a new tack, now its
agents are begging people to take their
telephones for nothing, and we learn
have secured a few on these terms but
not one of the new cOmpany's stock
holders, Of course. We wish to say just
a few words to our readers. For many
years the old company skinned" our
people, charging more tnan double what
they had ought to. They laughed at
the idea that our citizens would start an
exchange of their own and refused to
come down to their rates, or give good
service. The Wausau Telephone, is
owned all at home and all money earned
by it will be spant in Wausau. If you
want a telephone, for goodness sake,
patronize the home company. not one
that will put up the prices on you at the
very first opportunity. The Wausau
Company will only charge the actual
cost of operating the plant, which will
be very low. The person who takes a
telephone from the Wisconsin Company
might as well publish to the world that
he is against home institutions, fairness
and justice. Do not take telephone
from the Wisconsin, should it give It to
you for nothing and give you $1,000 a
year, besides.
NEW TOLL LINE.
The Wisconsin Telephone Company
thought the Wausau and Merrill busi-
ness men were bluffing when they made
a request to have their exchanges to the
main toll line otherwise they would
build one themselves. The Wisconsin
Company refused and now, within thirty
days, a toll line will be ready for bust
ness, between the above cities, the con-
tract having been let to Peter Berard, of
Merrill. There is line already IN
operation from Merrill to Tomahawk,
which is the property of VIM. Bradley,
of the latter place. The next move will
be to run line to Malshfeld via of
Marathon City, and from there to Grand
Rapids, 1t is only question of time
when the selfish, grasping monopoly,
known as the Wisconsin Telephone Co.
will not be allowed to do any business
