The Arizona Kicker, viii be greatly mys-
tilted. He will find as many churches
as in towns oicorrcspondIng size in Penn

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 "A community OF ten thou-

only one policeman. and very little oc-
cupation for him.
DIR. A. 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
cvcr-shining sun. II is surrounded by
mountains which cut off the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives it 81 mild winter cli-
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-of-door life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
| bronchial diseases daily exercise and life
III the open air. This treatment, in spite
of numberless cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first III the con-
tdence 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 10
