we did not have brilliant sunshine a.
some time during the dav. Even more
than Egypt, anywhere north of Luxor
Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood fires
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but il
is never prudent for stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularlv clear
tonic and dry. | have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world. 1t seems
to have about the same bracing and ex
hilarating qualities as the air of the
great Sahara in northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabia
Patraea. tits much drier than any part
of the valley of the Nile north of Gatar-
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 it is
good. From here the markets of Los
/ Angeles, and even of DE- nvel are largely
supplied. Good beet, mutton and poui-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and venison from the vicinity can also
be had. Vegetables and FRUITS are abund.

season is long one. 1t is the one coun-

"The man who goes to any co~A;der-
able Arizona town with the idea of the
southwest derived from novels, or from
The Arizona Kicker, will be greatly mys-
tilted. He will find as many churches
as in towns corresponding sizein Penn
sylvania or Ohio, and probably more
school houses, and yet he will find plenty
of liquor shops, too, and gambling
houses, and vet he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for it, and
he will find community of ten thou
sand people requiring III tn. daytime
only one policeman, and very little oc-
cupation for him.
DR.. A. w. OIcott, 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 off the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. It's south
ern position gives it a mild winter cli-
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-ofdoor life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life
in the open air. This treatment, in spite
of numberless cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the con-
fdence 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-
yond hope of cure, and cured many in
the earlier stages of consumption.
DR.. Harrison E. Stroud says of the
Climate of Arizona" summers are

gradually increasing into June; and from

Location of Tucson.-Immediatcly on
the line of the Southern Pacific r. R. in
the Southern part of the Territory OF
ARIZONA, and on the edge of the Santa
Cruz Valley, lies the City of Tucson.
That it was first settled several centur
les ago has little to do with what we
have to say here, but yet its story full
of adventure and romance lends an in
describable charm to the old town.
Evidences of Thrift.-Its antiquities
are, however, fast disappearing before
the march of progress. The adobe walls
that formed the battlemeuts of the old
Mexican Pueblo have crumbled away
and the mission ruins are falling to
pieces. Prominent public buildings,
churches, stores and handsome modern
residences have been erected with beautl-
full gardens, flowers and shrubbery sur
rounding many of the latter. Old streets
nave been graded, new oneslaid out, and
other improvements made which give
thrifty appearance to the city.
Foreign Element.--Of irs population,
however, consisting of about ten thou
sand people, a large Mexican element re-
mains, and its presence gives foreign
air to the community as also do the
adobe buildings in which they mainly
dwell
Topography. The location of the city
In vast amphitheatre as it were, sur
ou.ded by beautiful mountains. and
esting under the canopy of the lovehest
OF blue skies, is beautiful. The splendid
roads in the vicinity make driving and
bicycling an especial pleasure. In every
direction charming mountain views
greet the eye, and at the sunset hour
gorgeous and respondent colors cover
the western sky, the departing OF the
sun casting shadows upon the tops OF
the mountains which fairly enchant one
Public Library. Tucson has a well
selected library.
Hotel commodations.-The hotel
accommodations are ample, and tor
those preferring them there are Gotta ges
and rooms for rent at reasonable rates.
Tucson as Health Resort.-Itja how
ever of Tucson as a health esort of
which we wish to speak especially here,
and first of all let us say the it is situat-
ed almost in the centre If the climatic
belt recommended by tbs United States
Medical Commission, AS the most favor-
able region in the United States for those
afflicted with pulmonary ailments.
Altitude Abov, the Sea The altitude
OF Tucson is about 2, 400 feet above the
sea, and this by the way seems medium
altitude particularly suited to those suf-
fering from such diseases.
The Rainy Searon.-July, August and
SeD+ember cons itute the so-called
rainy season." nut the rains during
these months, VIII, there are any, while
hey are often violent are nothing more
than showers. It soon clears off and
the sun comes out as bright as ever. In
tuIv of this year there was scarcely any
rain. In no ocountry are there so many
davs of sunshine as in Arizona.

its development. AS humidity is such al
important factor in the cause of com
sumption, those affected with or having
a predisposition to lung disease should
immediately seek the proper climate tay
orable to their condition.
"The climate of Colorado has beer re.
commended for its beneficial effects for
consumption; my long residence there
gave me ample and sufficient opport.
unity of Judging climatic conditions
| there existing during the summer months
The mountainous portions of Colorado
undoubtedly have beneficial effect on
bercu)cs sis subjects. but cannot re
commend Colorado during the fall and
winter, as the changes are often severe,
becoming raw and cold within few
hours, and as these are atm ospheric con-
d1ttons to be avoided, it would not be
| advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having peculiar type of consti-
tuition with a hereditary tendency to
| consumption would do we'll to avail
themselves of an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
1T is fact that those born here;ot
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop, so long as they re-
main in this climate. 1t is nv opinion
that there As no other section of the

1uries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept in whooping cough, for years.
"The winter months, from the middle
of September to the first of May, are in
this locality the finest in the world. One
bright sunshiny day succeeds anothers
the nights are cool and exhilarating; the
whole country green with the richest

it is a JOY to live.

from raising my voice against the out
rage of sending advanced cases to this

DR.. H. w. Fenner, of Tucson, Surgeon
of the Southern Pacific R. r., says
Tucson is city of 10, 900 inhabitants,
on the main line of the Southern Pacific
Railway, altitude 2,4OO feet above the
sea level. Tucson is one of the oldest
settlements made by the Spanish con-
querors. 1t is now the commercial and
railroad center OF Southern Arizona. The
climate is exceedingly dry and bracing,
the humidity being exceedingly low; the
yearly minimum and maximum being
260 and SO respectively. The rainfall
is small and but little irrigation is car
rled on. The water supply is excellent.
The summers are long, the thermometer
ranges high, but the low degree ofhumid-
ity makes the clear warmth tolerable.
and the most healthful part of the year.
Sunstrokes and heat prostrations are
unknown. The climate of Tucson has
been found by experience to be particul-
arly beneficial to most cases of pulmon-
airy phthisis, especially those of the
earlier or pre-tubercular periods.
DR.. Mark A. Rogers, of Tucson, says:
MY experience has impressed upon
me the necessity for outdoor life in the
treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. In
order that the patient may live contin-
uously in the open air for period ofsev-
eral months, or, for that matter, for a
year, or several years, a climate is re-
quired which is continuously warm and
dry. Such q climate the United States
does not possess, but the nearest ap-
proach to it is Arizona

WORRIES A PHYSICIAN.

When a person is losing flesh and wasting away there is cause for alarm Nothing so worries physician. Con- sumptives would never die if there was no wasting of the system. The cause of this loss of flesh is a failure to prop. erly digest the food eaten. Nine-tenths of all our diseases date back to some derangement of the stomach.
 Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup will stop this wasting of the body It acts by causing the food we eat to be di- gested so as to do good, for undigested food does more harm than good. Sci gels Syrup is digester of foods and promotes absorption. Sold at drug gists
 We have testimonials from the world over as we'll as hundreds from your own town. We cannot publish them all, as it would fill book as big as diction- ary. We will append one only.
 q can recommend Mother Seigel's Syrup to anyone suffering with Dyspep- sia or bad blood, having used it in England years ago with the best re- suits" Mrs. R. Coots 1SS Frank street, New Haven, Conn.,, April 16. 1902.

The Women Know How.

Food, and good food, is the right kind of foundation to build good health on. A Minnesota woman writes, "I thought I would like to tell you of the good Grape-Nuts has done for me.
 Last winter I got sick and kept get ting weaker and weaker. l could not eat anything but some crackers and a little cup of beef tea for every meal. then I was put on Grape Nuts and used it with some cream for breakfast. My stomach got strong gradually and be- fore I had used three packages my di- gestion was so good that I could eat any kind of food, even cabbage, pastry, etc, and I notice that my memory is very much better than it used to be-
 On the 5th of July I weighed 102 pounds and two months later after using Grape Nuts, weighed 122 pounds and was able to do my house work.
