THE WATER QUESTION
Is not the only discussion that is interesting the general public at the present time. It is a mvth
in comparison to the pure beer question. The pure beer problem is not only a local topic, but a national W
one, as will be seen at a glance by the reports from the Industrial Commission, now sitting at Wash- j
ington, where many brewers were summoned to appear and explain why they manufactured adulterated W .
beer. Not so with 'the Keystone Brewing Company's goods, as the Government officers through the In- !
ternai Kevenue Department could see oy tne reports tnat eacn brewery sends in monthly, that the Key
stone Lager Beer, Ales and Porter contained nothing but malt and hops, and therefore were not obli
gated to appear and explain why.
The simplest proof that the Keystone is the best is to take and bottle the different beers manufac
tured in this valley and see which will keep the longest. We say the Keystone. But let you, the public,
be the judge, and we assure you that what we claim for our goods is no boast.

This alone should appeal to the hearts of the patriotic American.
What would be the price of lager beer, ale and porter if the
Beer Trust controlled all the breweries in the valley? Do you
think for a moment they would lower the price? You are
,. certainly the best judge which way prices would go.
Mr. Wills, Treasurer and Manager, wishes the many
m friends and patrons a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
and at tne same time tnanKs them tor their generous patron
age during the past year, and hopes, by giving the trade the
very finest lager beer, ales and porter, to merit the good will
and custom of the public in the future.

Not satisfied with their rock eoverns,
the Cliff Dwellers climbed upward,
and on the moiia, 400 feet above the
shelf on which the eaves opened, built
a communal dwelling1.
This mean Is about three-quarters of
a mile. v,Ide and a rr.llo and a half

of opportunities for defense. On Its

woikmen. The looms wrre toofed with
timber, and the walls ther i-ttrled

court, a common kitchen for all, from
which tadlattd Immense numbots of
rooms. The hulldimr spread with the
cfiowth of the community until it was
three stoik's hlKh and the looms

era' tkulls are different, their habits
were dlff front, and they weio a t'reat

Indians.
"It is my belief that an earthquake
tumblad down the communal dwell
ing which I have Jttit visited. The
peoplo wer stared away, and wero
afraid to go back for any c their
possessions. That Is why the pottery
und Implements are found untouched,
"Their religion must have been a sun
worship. Tin Ir dead were burled with
the knees drawn up to tho body, faco

In the plctuie writings. In the cave
dwellings weio long 'turkey runs,' and
'turkey looms,' where the bliMs were
kept and fed. Tho CllfC Dwellers cul
tivated fields In the valleys below their
dwellings. Tiny had 'to carry water
to tho top of the cliff. On the mesi,
however, there weio water channels
and iork cisterns for rain water, and
this supplied them during a portion
ot the year.
"Wo opened only two rooms, and one
burial mound. The results were so
satlstactory that I am convinced nny
unlveislty o. scientific Instltutlo i
which set to work to open and exploro
the mlns systf matlcally would be
llchly repaid. I estimate that to com
plete the woil: would cost about $13 000.
Tho cliff dwellings, which are within
easy leach of relic hunters, have been
despoiled and wantonly Injured. Doors
and lintels have been torn down, telies
broken or scattered; and tho process
of destruction greatly hastened. Ari
zona has an antiquarian society, and
southern California its Landmarks
club, hut New Mexico nnd Colorado
have no organizations of sufficient

ELECTRICITY FROM HEAT.
A Great Problem That Offeis a Rich
Reward for Solution.
From the Iiotim Trniicrljit.
The gieat problem likely to bo solve 1
In tho twentieth century Is the trans
formation of h"at Into electricity dliect.
When this is accomplished, Ulddy In
the morning will stait a fire, the heat
of which will find a series of storage
b.itteiles that will do most of the work
of tho household during tho day, il
luminating the dwelling, propelling tho
machine fans, running tho sewing ma
chine, operating tho dumb waiter, ami
so forth. This, however Is only a
faint suggestion of tho advantages t
be gained by tho discovery I bpeak if
Ploctrlclty will then become an cn
i eedlngly cheap source of energy, nn '
the sun's rays may be even employ d
to manufaoturo tho iluld. If, as dot
not seem unlikely, a twentieth centuo
Inventor finds a practical way ot har
nessing the tides, the latter will pio
duco at a very slight expense all th
electricity required to run nil tho ma
chinery and to heat and Illuminate all
thn houses In the United States.
The house of many rich men today
aro run to a greater extent by electri
city, which lights them, ventilates
them and even operates the family ele
vator. This kind ot elevator U Itself
a very new Invention; It has no at
tendant, but It is bo controlled by th"
Invisible forco stored In great Jars ot
lead and acidulated water in tho bat
tery room that it Is as safe and docile
as any well-trained sorvant. Anybody
who wnnts to make use of it presie
a button and the car comes respon
slvely to the iloor desired, Steppln?
aboard, the passenger touches one ot
the series of buttons inside and Iho
car transports hhn to the floor he
wishes to go to, If tho promises of
electrical experts are to be accepted,
our dwellings before long will ba light
ed by electricity without wires.

VICTOR KOCH, Proprietor.
NEAR D.. L. AND W. DEPOT,
An extremely valuable pro luc; ot
the electilc furnace, by tho way. Is
(aibonundum now being mado In a
large way at Niagara, which is iho
hardest of all substances save tho dia
mond, and thercfoio serves extremely
well as an abrasive. Ily electrolysis
ilumlnlum Is separated from Its oie,
and thus has been brought to a point
of exceeding cheapness, while by tho
Kame means ordinal y hrlno is separ
ated Into two valuable products ch'o--Ino
for blenching, and sodium for soip
manufaetuie.
Electricity Is now recognized ns a
most useful agent In medicine, beln?
mployed hi a great variety of ways.
In some complaints It ha3 a rental k
ible power of stimulating function,
ind It lias been found that certain
bugs put on a moistened electrode
an be cntrleil Into tho body with the
urrent, so as to henellt directly a i'is
eaod par t. Various kinds of mo-bld
growth are lemoved Instantaneously
and painlessly by electrocautery, an 1
tho only successful method of gett'ns
rid of superfluous hair Is that of the
electric needle, which Is gently Intro
duced Into the hair follicle and kills
thn toot. Nowadays operative instru
ments for the nose, mouth and throat,
whether drills, saws, or what not, ate
controlled by electricity, whllo tiny In
candescent lamps, swallowed by the
patient or otherwise manipulated, m
utilized to Illuminate the cavities of tee
body and head, so as to reveal condi
tions to tho physician.
Street cars aro not only run by olnc
trclty, but are Illuminated and heated
by the same agency. The heater use 1
for this purpose roqulro no attention,
regulate tho temperature exactly a It
may bo wanted, and, when used on
railway ttalns, do not endanger the
safety ot passengers. One of tho latest
Improvements Is to provide each berth
In a sleeping car with an Incandescent
light, so that one may road If slumber
comes not. Similarly Incandescent
lights are now provided for carriages,
und they ate even coming- Into use for
cabs. Tho emperor of German has
his closed carriage lighted In this way,
nnd In addition the harnesses of his
hoi sos aie covered with small glow
lights of different colors, so as to pro
duce a very beautiful effect.
Tho twentieth century will seo elec
tiiclty Introduced In tho kitchen In
place of coal and wood. In order that
this may bu accomplished It Is only
necessary that the fluid should be m.ido
a little cheaper, Inasmuch ns It serves
much better for all culinary purpose.
The electric oven bakes bread Ideal',
and mcatH prepared in It do not ie
quire basting or watching, wiu'o broil
ing or frying may bo dono In ti super
ior style on the electric range. Tne
electric dialing dish Is attachable t a
moment's notice to an ordinary light
who; the current Is turned on, ani Im
mediately tho oysters begin to stow o
tho eggs to filzle. In the electric Kit
chen of the near future thoro will be
no coal, no ashes, no smoke; ther j will
bo no fuel, arrd not even a battery, In
asmuch as tho requlslto cunent will bo
furnished from outside, as gas Is now.
The sadlions used on Tuesdays for thn
family linen will be heated by electri
city, and will bo kept thus nt a con
stant temperature, so that they will
trover scorch things, and will njt io
qulio reheating or changing. Already
wo have electilc curling tongs, wlildi,
bolng hitched to a light wire, nre war
ranted not to singe a hair.
