The cooking is done on the principle
OF the so-called "Papinian digester. "
as, owing to the rarefactlon of the
air at that great altitude, water bolls
much more quickly, and would evap-
crate before cooking the food.
With an expenditure OF thirty kill
owatts OF electrical energy it is pos.
sible to prepare a five-course dinner
for party of one hundred persons
in a very short time. The guests are
accommodated in a large hall hewn
out Of the solid rock and heated by
electricity. The view from the huge
windows comprises mountain seen

no equal in the world.

Desert Talks to Outside world.

Before the year closes Southwest
Coast cities will be on speaking
terms with Needles and other desert
points, including Searchlight. New.
The first link in this immense tele-
phone system was completed bet
ween Marvel and Searchlight Satur-
day. The main trunk line is now
building out from Salt Lake City,
eventually to connect with Los An
geles, and will be a link with the
Manifestations system connecting
most OF the desert mining towns.
That actual construction of the big
trunk line is under way is news to
Coast people. but It has actually
been completed between Salt Lake
and Wells, New, the first message
going over the line last Monday.
Gangs are now rushing to compl-
ton the line to Phoebe. From there
It will be a small matter to connect
with Searchlight. across the State
line, and when this IS done Coast
counties will be able to talk with
Salt Lake.

Easy Enough for One Who Has
Learned by the Touch Method.
The typewriter who has learned to
typewrite by the touch method does
not need to look at the machine in
working it. BY this method the
learner begins ani practises on
machine whose keys have no letters
on them, simply blank tops. while
in front Of the learner is placed a
reproduction of the keyboard. with
all the letters and characters printed
on a sheet Of paper. The beginner
learns the keyboard of the machine
from the printed keyboard. and
when she has once mastered this she
is able to keep her eyes on the notes
or copy she is transscribing and keep
all the time pounding awaF on the
machine without looking at Me key
board at all. The training that she
has received prompts her every time
to strike the right key.
1t is a very familiar fact that peo-
pie play on a piano without looking
at the keyboard. With our eyes on
the music In front the fingers in
stinctively seek and find the right
keys. 1t is precisely the same in
playing a typewriter.

Refore the nav Of Mntches.

Sixty years ago the use of flint
and steel TO produce fire was not
wholly unknown. The late William
E. Stone, Of Peoria, ILL.,, lived at
Beaver, Pa. His father one warm
August night was strlken with ap-
oplexy. The fire was out in the
kitchen hearth and his mother in her
distress, unable to find the tinder
box, was obliged to send his brother
Marsh two miles and a half to a
neighbor. She gave him a handful
Of tow, which he put in his pocket
Arousing a neighbor with some diff
Guilty, she gave him live coal, which
he wrapped in the tow, and putting
it back in his pocket, ran home.
When he arrived there he swung the
tow around his head, thus famed
the coal and produced a fame which
lighted a candle. In the meantime
relief had been so long coming that
the father was past all surgery.

qualified if one considers the compara-

sented by the assessed valuation OF

More Than Enough Is Too Much

To maintain health, mature man or woman needs just enough food to re- pair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indiges- tion, revise your diet, let reason, and not appetite control and take few doses of Chamberlain s Stomach and Liver Tablets and you will soon be all right again.
