The worst enemy of the complexion
is the wrinkle. This is small blemish
which starts in the form of q shallow
furrow, and unless removed by the
foot of the massage roller will develop
into a close resemblance to an irriga-
ton ditch. Wrinkles are caused by
thought, which accounts for the large
number Of perfect complications In daily
use. A person who desires to retain
his complexion should not think on
any one subject more than twice, and
then only at long intervals. L

A MORAL. FOR MERCHANTS.
(Dnc Moinea Canffal

The gross sales OF Montgomery,
Ward & Co. for 1915 amounted to $780,
100000. This is an increase Of almost
IS per cent over 1914. Iowa contrib
utes no small share to this increase.
The mail order house did most of
this enormous business thru the medium
OF a catalog in which everything from
4 screw to a threshing machine Is
listed and pictured. Nothing is too
small to be included. Montgomery
Ward & Co. take nothing for granted.
And yet as w. r. Hotchkin Of the
Cheltenham Advertising Agency. New
York. the welI-known advertising au-
thority. said recently in Dies Moines,
many Iowa dealers are trying to COM
pete with their Chicago rivals by adj
vertising "a full line Of hardware" or "a
complete stock of dry goods and groc-
cries." instead of giving the details.
Who is to blame IL Iowans continue
to help swell the profits of the mail

THE COST OF ROAD MATERIALS.
Davenport Times]
A new line OF attack mas DeeH Viz
covered by the opponents Of good
roads. II is that good roads-Eard
surfaced roads-should not be con-
structed until the cost OF the materials
becomes cheaper. That is an interest
ing argument. If the roads are good
when materials are cheaper the opposi-
ton comedies that hard surfaced roads
are to be desired. That being agreed
upon, the question OF when the mater
ials will be cheaper comes to the front
In business generally shows
that there is a gradual tendency for all
things to advance in price as the de-
mand increases. The longer the con-
struction OF the good roads is delayed
the more the materials will cost. Con-
crete? Certainly. Crushed rock? That
will increase in cost. too, for the de-
mand goes apace with concrete. Labor?
That will cost more too. There re-
mains the possibility tha1 invention
may change conditions. but it is not
tactical to wait for invention to make
better roads possible. The state may
have to wait long time until some
thing new is discovered that either will
provide a cheaper material or a
cheaper method Of handling It.

Dis ; satisfied with conditions now existing l Selectman Johnson prepared an ulti- 1 matunl, the granting of which will be the installation of three lights of eighty candle power to substitute for the ten lamps which the Connecticut company now uses to illuminate the highway.
 The selectman demands that the trio of incandescents burn .all night and that the company foot the bill. Mr. Johnson put up the proposition to Manager Beardsley yesterday and
 at the request of that official he had
 his ideas put in writing today. The
 ultimatum will be delivered at the
 "ye1low building" and the selectman
 is hopeful that the proper officials will see the wisdom of lowing to it's terms.
 Since the Connecticut company de- cided that it was not obligated. either by law or implied promises to con- tnue giving the town the same lights on Whiting street that are provided for other highways in the town, it's popularity has not grown in the least here The management claims that the ten lamps in use are of twenty candle power although the court or der issued at the time of the eN- tension of the trolley line to Southing- ton mentions lights of but sixteen candle brilliancy.
 The "concession" does not satisfy Plainville. The local authorities be- 1ieve that the company should at least burn the lamps all night instead Of turning off the current at 12 o'clock and until this is done there will be complaints here.
 selectman Johnson's patience, which has been sorely tried over the matter for some time became ex- hausted Sunday night after he was advised that there were no lights at all burning on the street. He made several intellectual attempts fo get in communication with Manager BcardsIey and finally had to get an other representative of the company to hear his complaint. Yesterday he learned that the trouble was due to the forgetfullness of one of the eno- ployes who neglected to turn the switch.
 Manager Beardsley tried to get the selectman to arrange with someone in PIainville to look after the service but the local official declined as he

believed the company should assume full responsibility.
 In place of the service now given MT. Johnson suggested that the com pany install three eighty candle power lamps to burn all night, the town to put a fourth to light the street. Until the recent change in the service five lamps were used. The select men contends that the town can get along with one less and he is agree able to the proposed agreement. He made arrangement today with the United Electric Light and Water company to install three lamps on the street to serve until the Connecti- cut company shows it's hand.
 Should the company refuse to make the change the selectman is deter mined to take the case before the utilities commission.
 With Judge B. F. Gaffney of New Britain, counsel for the town, he has looked over the order of the court relative to the lighting of the street in question. While the mandate does not mention the hours the service shall be given and specifics only that the lights shall be burning while there is danger due to the operation of cars, the selectman holds that legal interpretation would probably show cause for an all night service, particularly during the winter months when conditions resulting from the operation of cars make it hazardous to travel on the highway in the dark ness. Piles of snow thrown to the side of the tracks by the cars put an element of danger in the way of vehi- cu1ar traffic when the highway is not illuminated and in P1ainville the be- lief prevails that the utilities commits sion would force the company to look after it. /
