Civilized man must wear clothing of
some sort, but it is popular fallacy to
suppose that civilization laid down this
stern decree and that man, emerging
from the darkness of barbarism, listened
to the dictation of enlightenment and
HE'D himself to find cover for his ma
kedness. The weather is sometimes
! very. severe in the forests of northern
Germany, where only a few years ago,
as reckoned by the age of our planet,
our ancestors were playfully swinging
themselves from tree to tree by the tail
and living on bark and wild fruit. Every
one has heard of the experiment that
Mother Eve made with the fig leaves
and decolette fashions of today derived
therefrom. If Eve had had Singer
sewing machine, and Adam had been
willing to have stopped smoking long
enough to have shown her how to run
it, she would, in all probability, have
made up enough clothing, a la fig leaf
decollette, to have supplied the family.
What boon this great machine has
been to the world, let the housewives
bear witness. The Singer is found in
nearly every household of this broad
land.
This company has agencies in nearly
every city, town, hamlet and berg In the
country, which are presided over by
courteous representatives, who are
pleased at all times to allow prospective
customers to take machines out on trial.
1t is largely due to the fact that pur-
chasers make their own terms with this
company that the Singer machines have
become SO popular

The fourishing city of Las Vegas,
among it's other metropolitan features,
can boast Of water system that sup
plies the municipality with an abundant
supply of pure water for all purposes to
which this life-giving fluid is usually
applied. Work was commenced on this
plant soon after the corporation was or
ganized in 1881, and pushed rapidly for
ward to completion. The method used
is known as the gravity system, and the
capacity Of the plant is about 100000
gallons per day, which capacity may be
increased, from time to time, as the de-
mands of the city require. The supply
furnished at the present time. however,
is ample, and 100000 gallons daily is
probably all that the town will require
for some years to come. Mr.. j. D.
Powers is president of the company, and
and H. H. Price combines the duties of
superintendent and secretary, positions
which long experience and good bust
ness ability eminently qualify him for.
In the matter Of an adequate water sup
ply, than which there is no more impor-
tant question for municipality to
solve, Las Vegas is particularly FORUM
ate.
This company also handles mountain
ice on an extensive scale, from forty to
fifty thousand tons being the average
annual capacity.
