DR.. Barr spoke along similar lines to

individual effort of the Individual
merchant Keokuk excelled Mason

TANGO AND THE
 COMPLEXION

The strenuous exercise Of the Tan % has the effect of improving the general health and so naturally helps to improve compilations. It has also forced more. women to discard face powders because they rub of too readily and fill the pores, making healthy skin-breathing impossible.
 If pore-clogging powder were dis carded for plain spurmax lotion there would be more beautiful com- plexions, and rough, blotchy, unloveiy skins would rarely be seen. This io- ton is easily prepared at home-Just get from your druggist ounces spur max and dissolve in either # pint hot water or witch hazel. and add teaspoorsful glycerine. The spurmax lotion is fine for hot days as 1t will not spot nor streak and one applica- ton lasts an entire day. relieving that shiny. oily appearance. This lotion blends so nicely with the skin that it cannot be detected. and 1t lends an exquisite charm to the daintiest com plextion.

TELEPHONES IN USE
 IN THIS COUNTRY
Are GA Per Cent. of All Those in the Entire Werld-Germany Comes Sec ond.

 = The following information covering the telephone statistics of the world has been furnished by the local man. agement of The Southern New Eng land Telephone company. It is taken from oficia1 statistics just compiled by the American Telephone and Telegraph company and contains a wealth of in teresting data
 In the report the total number of telephones in the world is given as 13,570.s74. Of these s,729,5s2. or ap- proximately 64 per cent, are in the is second. with ]. .302,6 ,672 telephones and Bosnia with $50 telephones. only a tride over twice the number in use in one hotel in New Haven, foots the list.
 In the development of telephones per 100 population the United States is first with 9.1 telephones to every 100 population. Canada, including New foundland. is second with 5.6 tele- phones to every 100 population, but the great majority of the countries show one and a fraction telephones or less. to every 100 population.
 The total miles of telephone wire in the world are given as 33,261.s34, of which 20,24S, ,326. or approximately 50 per cent. are in this country. The miles, or 12.5 per cent. of the total. and Great Britain and France follow in the order given. The United States has 21.03 miles of wire to every 100 population.
 The total investment in telephone systems. this figure being partly esti- mated is put at s1, ,906. .041. 900. Of this stupendous sum of money s1,094. S00,- 900. or 57.A per cent. of the total. is actually invested in the telephone service of the United States.
 It is estimated that the grand total of telephone conversations for one year. in Europe and the United States, Is 22, 409, ,296, 900. Of these 15,600. 900, = 900 are established in the United States. In other words there are 161. 995 conversations to every 1000 people in this country as against 15,172 to every 1000 people in Europe.
 These figures give a graphic idea of the comprehensiveness of the telephone development of the United States and the extent to which it has become a vital factor In the business and social life of every community. And what is true of the country as a whole is equallp true of every community in our state.
