New Houses Are Damn.

Sanitarians give warning that new
houses should not be occupied for
several months after they are COM
pleted. There is large amount Of
water incorporated with the building
materials, aud this should be given
ample time for evaporation. Ventil-
alton is imperfect when the walls are
filled with moisture. The lack of ven.
tilation and the dampness of such
dwellings are causes Of much sick ness.

the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness ire not due to any actual dis

ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal

organs on which it acts. tits therefore

When governor Morton was minis

the garden in the middle of the square,
and the latter was named the Place

Governor Franklin got the appoint ment miil in good order yesterday and ground out tlhe following before he stopped to rest: To be territorial su perintendent of public instruction, vice F. J. Netherton, resigned, Thomas E. Dalton, of Phoenix.
 Member of the board of education of the Territorial Normal school, vice Rebeoca A. Phillips, resigned, Mrs. Carrie A. Evans, of Phoenix.
 Commissioner of immigration for Yavapai coupnty, vice Orrick Jackson, resigned, B. A. Rogers, of Prescott.
 Commissioner of immigration for GEla county, vice Judge Hackney, mot qualified, Geo. w. P. Hunt, of Globe
 Notary public, J. L. Fisher, of Pres cobt, M. Redondo, Buenos Ayres.
 The appointments seem to meet with the most unqualified approval in the quarters where the news was made known. Mir Dalton at. one time was superintendent of the Phoenix schools and has for years been a local resident, being now connected with the Phoenix Stationery and News company He is a graduate of the famous St. Lawrence university of northern New York and is qualified in every way for the post to which he has been chosen.
 Mrs. Evans, who has been placed on the Normal school board, is a teacher of ripe experience, whose work for years has been the fitting of school teachers for their chosen profession. She is a lady of advanced and most progressive ideas and would seem to be the very one fitted for tIhe post to which she has received appointment.
 E. A. Rogers of the Prescott Courier has his first office under the De- mocracy, though he has been edit orfally fighting Democraey's battles for many year.

Hon. Geo. w. P. Hunt was yesterday appointed commissioner of immigra- tion for GiIla county; but at the time it did not occur ito the governor that MT. Hunt was member Of the legisIa- ture which created the immigration board, and therefore disqualified by the organic act from serving on the board. The governor regrets that MT. Hunt is ineligible ito the office and it is unfortunate for Gila county. MT. Hackney, who was appointed commits siomer by Governor Hughes, failed to qualify and MT. Hunt made the report from his county last year.
