SULPHUR DRIES UP
P|MPLES AND RASH
Says Sulphur is Quickest to Clean
Up An Ugly Skin

Any breaking out of the skin on
face, neck, arms or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-Sul-
phur. The <pimples seem 20 dry
right up and go away, declares a
noted skin specialist
Nothing has ever been found to
take the place Of sulphur as a pimple

pensive. Just ask any druggist for

it like cold cream.

resort to the use of the telephone
as more economical means OF con-
Quoting business"
The company has since December
1890 expended approximately
S650,000 for extensions to its plant
Its program for the extensions to
its plant for the current calendar
year Will involve an expenditure
of approximately $1,609,000.
The company now has In the
State OF West Virginia, property
valued in excess of ten millions of
dollars. Mr.. Stake, in discussing
telephone growth, laid emphasis on
the effort which the company has
made to meet the demands OF its
patrons for service. Due to the
big Industrial expansion in West
Virginia in the past few years a
tremendous task was placed on the
due to this expansion, and except
in very few localities throughout
the state, all of the demands for
service have been met and those
few remaining points will be pro-
vided with the necessary equipment
and plant before the end of this
year or early in next year
At the same time the figures for
West Virginia were made public,
officials OF the company received a
report OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission covering 6S OF the larg-
est telephone companies In the
country. This report shows that
these companies earned at the rate
OF six and eight tenths per cent
for the first four months of 1921
This report reflects increases in
rates which Wore made generally
throughout the United States dur
ing 1920.

Company Responds With Extensions OF Plant To Meet De-

Have Been Added To System-0nly Few Isolated Ones.

Reprts I six mnths' revenues aud
expenses were filed today with the
Public Service Commission OF West
Virginia by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company,
On December l. 1920. the Tele-
phone Company, after hearings last
ing several months, was permitted
by the commission to increase tele-
phone rates throughout the state.
The reports now filed are of public
interest, as showing the net earn
ings under these rates.
In the six months ending June 30,

900 telephones have ben add to
tn systm in Wst Virginia at this
rate, the growth in the state prom
ises to be very much greater than
in past years. 1t is more or less
peculiar to the telephone business
that in periods OF industrial de-
preston it frequently happens that
the growth in telephones shows a
married increase. This may be ac-
counted fer tv the fact that patrons
