Renewing Compilations
By Absorption

II your complexion Is marred with
~olotcheh. moth patches. pimples or
ireckles. It's useless TO putter with
powders and paints. lotions. creams
and things, in an erort to get rio Of
the trouble Unless you nave some
ability as an artist you'll mar your
appearance still more.
The new and rational way is to
take off the complexion itself. with all
It's offensive marks. Just get an ounce
az pure mercolized wax at the drug
slsts and use at night same as cold
cream. Remove next morning with
water and soap, following with dash
OF cold water. The mercolized wax

suesses you're treating your face
unless IL be by the result. which is
truly wonderful. There's nothing like
IT for restoring a natural. healthy and

The Senator went into his record on

for remarkably we'll. He said he had
voted for a revenue tariff on lumber

produced came in free.
He denied emphatically and fatty
that he had over voted for a protec-

In one of the smaller cities in New
England the adoption of electric trucks
and delivery wagons seriously crippled
the livery business It was the prac-
tice of one large liveryman to board"
the horses for number of large busi-
ness houses and when these houses
sold their horses and put in power
wagons the liveryman's business drop
ped off in proportion But. being
live and up-to-date Yankee, he quickly
adapted himself and his stable to the
new way and is now making more
monev than ever. He equipped his
stable with a battery charging outfit
and placed man there to take care
of the electric vehicles. The garage
portion of this establishment opened
with only two vehicles but soon eleven
business trucks We're being cared for.
The man in charge cleaned the trucks,
made what few repairs were necessary
and kept the batteries charged. al for
a nominal sum vastly cheaped than it
would cost the owners to do the work
themselves
Electric wagons and trucks are re-
placing many horses and the care of
electric vehicles presents a desirable
field for many liverymen. Such wagons
require very little attention beyond
cleaning and charging The new bat.
terry charging outfits work automat'-
cally cutting out the current when
the batteries are filled, and most any
one can operate them.

Survey at permanent stations main
tanned along the streams. They are
essentially record of the performance
of those streams and they furnish an
account of the water resources avail
able for use in the regions in which
the records were made.
Many of those who are unfamiliar
with engineering practice do not real
ize the necessity of procuring informa-
tion of this kind. The Importance of
knowing how much water is available
for its various uses grows enormously
as the United States becomes more
thickly settled and as industrial pur-
suits advance. We need water for
domestic supplies and for navigation
The arid west is dependent on it for
the irrigation of dry lands. One of the
most important features of our indus
trial prosperity has been the develop
ment of water power On the other
hand as has recently been re-empha-
sized, water may be enormously de-
Istructiye whe nit takes the form of
floods. 1t is therefore necessary to
harness our water supplies so that
I they will on the one hand render the
best service and on the other be pre-
vented from deyasting the country
In developing the water Of a par
ticular stream the first necessity is to
know how much water must be pro
yided for-the volume that descends
in the channel from day to day and
from month to month This necessity
has its counterpart in the ordinary con.
duct of business. Every business man
recognizes the necessity for taking ae.
count of stock Every bank is requir.
ed to keep an accurate record of its
resources. There is no difference in
principle between these operations and
taking an inventory of water resources
To handle and develop them properly
il is necessary to keep an account OF
stock
The four reports above described
give a faithful record of each rivers
performance so that the person or the
community undertaking any develop
ment of water win know all the facts

however, is conceded, like Albuquerque

It seems safe to predict there will be

elect two United States senators, but
democrats apparently haxe excellent
chance of electing a state ticket and
