The Arizona Kicker, will be greatly myS-

as in towns otcorresponding size IN Penn

school houses. and yet he will find pleuty
of liquor shops, too, and gambling
houses, and vet he will see little disorder

by pure. dry. invigorat'ng
air; a small amount OF rainfall, and an
eyer.sh;ning sun. 1t is surrounded by
which cut off the chilling
winds OF winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most ard regions. Its south
cru position gives it q mild winter eli

an out.ofdoor life the eutire year, and
permit those suffering from lung aud
bronchial diseases daily exercise and lite

of uumberless cures for consumption, ex
ploited monthly, stands first IN the con
tidence of the people and OF the medical
profession as the best single means
known of combating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The out-ot-door lite. with
nroper medical treatment, has afforded
relief 10 numbers of sufferers who are be-
vond hope of cure, and cured many IN
