is too valuable; you mustn't injure it
with drastic drugs.
When your meals don't fit and you
feel uncomfortable, when you belch

HEAT WITH ELECTRICITY,

In future periods when there comes ..w;nter
OF discomfort" made more miserable bv scar.
city or entire lack of fuel for heating and MANN
featuring purposes some wise individual may
rise and PROFOUND: "Why did not Keokuk with
the large supply Of electricity generated by
water power lying at her very doors make more
general use OF this CURRENT" In the present
emergency the inquiry applies with the force Of
experience. The saving of coal is an absolute
necessity now and it may be throughout the
years to come if labor disputes become, as it
would seem they are, Of the evils fixed per-
manently upon us. AS the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat says The Mississippi is damned
at Keokuk, and for several wears the
current has been coming in to the extent of
sixty thousand horsepower or more It has
proved dependable and can evidently be in
creased indefinitely by the same method Of gen
GRAFTON and long distance transmission. Power,
light and heat are elementary requirements in
modern communities. Making the ccaseess
flow Of water do the work is a vast conception,
and yet clearly practical. At Keokuk the sea-
son Of ice in the river was part of the problem
1t has been satisfactorily solved''
ST. Louis is using the power generated here
at Keokuk as a means of moving industrial
wheels and for furnishing Illumination. But
the time is come when the Mississippi river
should be called upon to act through the electric
current as heat producer for the individual
The suggestion applies not only to Keokuk but
to every city and town served by the Mississippi
River Power company. 1t will be big under
taking; but necessity being the mother Of in
vention way to accomplishment is SEEN For
long we have been urged to cook with cleo
tricity'' Why should we not also cheat with
electricity
