ona in winter there was but one day
4 when the weather made il actually I'M
I pleasant for me to take exercise III the
open air at some time or other dur1nR
/ the daV. Ofcourse there were a Rood
many DAYS which weather observer
I would describe as cloudy anj some
/ that were showcry,' but during the hve
months from November, 1895 to May,
/ 1880 there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine at
some time during the dav. Even more
! than Egypt, anywhere north ot Luxor
Arizona Is the land Of the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood nres
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, Dnt II
is never prudent for stranger to De
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singuIarly clear,
tome and dry. ! have never seen IL
clearer anywhere in the world. 1t seems
to have about the same bracing and ex
hiarating qualities ms the AR oil the
great Sahafa in northern Africa or Oh
the desert about Mount Sinai. in Arabia
Patraca 1t is much drier than any part
OF the valley of the Nile north OF 6atar-
act. 1t seems to me about the same IN
quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouan and Wady Halfa, but some
what cooler.
AS to food, there is plenty, and 1t Is
good. From here the markets OF Los
Angeles. and even Of Dtn nvei are largely
supplied. Good beef mutton and poui-
Try are plenty and cheap. QUAIL, DUCKS
. and venson from the vicinity can also
be had Vegetables and fruits are abund'
ant ~ their season and sometimes the
season is a long one. 1t is the one coun-
try have lived in where strawberrles
ripcu in the open air ten months Ill the
wear. | have had them on my table,
fresh picked from the open gardens, at
Christmas.
The man who goes to any consider

southwest derived from novels, or from
/ The Arizona Kicker, will be greatly mys-

( school houses, and yct he " i'll find plenty
OF liquor shops. too, and gambling

unless he hunts late at night for 1t, and
he will find a community OF ten thou
sand people requiring III the daytime
only one policeman. and very little oc-
cupation for him.
DR.. W. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, says:--'The climate of Tucson Is
characterized by pure. dry, invigorating
air. a small amount of rainfall, and an
ever shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut OIL the chilling
winds oi winter, and the dreaded sand
storms OF most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives II mild winter cii-

permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and hte
IN the open air. This treatment, IN spite
Of numberiess cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the con
hdcnce OF the people and Of the medical
profession as the best single means
known Of combating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The out-of-door life, with
proper medical treatment, has afforded
relief to numbers of sufferers who are be.
vond hope of cure. and cured many III
the earlier stages OF consumption.
DR.. Harrison E. Stroud says of the
Climate of Arizona. The summers are
hot. There are some warm days in May,
gradually increasing into June, and from
then on until the end OF August the ther-
mometer ranges high, but with Septem
her comes cooler days and nights.
The heat is peculiar; it is never close
and oppressive there is never sense oi
Snfiocation. The summers are the most
healthful period OF the year. The dry
heat oxidizcs and desiccates refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that 10
the great cause of disease, especially
among children, III most countries during
the summer To my knowledge there
has never been case of cholera inian
tum in the territory, nor has there been
Il case of sunstroke, except drunkardS
,ncbriatcd AT the time. 1t is Uncommon
custom to sleep out OF doors from the
middle of May until September. and
many (as the writer sleep out during
tho whole vear. There are not hive days
IN the whole wear but the most delicate
invalid can spend part of the day, at
least. ont of doors. In this climate IN
iuries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
ccpt in whooping cough, for years.
THE winter months, from the middle
OF September to the FIRST of May, are in
this locality the finest i'll the world. One
bright sunshiny day succeeds another;
the nights are cool and exhilarating; the
whole country green with the richest
vcrdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
il is a 10Y TO live.
AT present have never known a per
son coming TO this Territory in the early
stages of pulmonary disease andlocating

ease that did not get well; nor have ]
