Dr. A. {. Jones. of Tucson. said.-"The
past seven years have afforded me Iaroe
opportunities in the observation and
study of the climatic treatment of mi.
monary tuberculosis. Within that time

advantages over all the resorts of cnv ac-

this time was attended by two trained

Hon. Whitelaw Reid, in his journal. the
New York Tribune, OIL Arizona in Win

a FIVE months resid ~. southern Ariz.
ona in winter the, xas but one day
when the weather made il actually nm
| pleasant for me TO take exercise in the
| open air at some time or other during
| the dav. Ofcourse there were a good
many days which a weather observer
would describe as cloudy ana some
that were 'showery:' but during the fve
months from November, 1895 to MAY,
ls96l there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine at
some time dunng 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 ilres
and blankets. Halt the time an over
coat is not needed during the day. but il
is never prudent for stranger to bs
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear
tonic and dry. | have never seen il
clearer anywhere in the world. II seemt
to have about the same bracing and cx
hilarating qualities as the air of the
great Sahara in northern Africa Or oi
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabia
Patraea. 1t is much drier than any part
of the valley of the Nile north of Gatar-
act. 1t seems to nic 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 D,nve, are largely
supplied. Good beef mutton and poui.
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and venison from the vicinity can also

season is long one. 1t is the one coun-
try have lived in where straw berries
ripen in the open air ten months iii the
year. have had them on my table
fresh picked from the open gardens, at
Christmas.
THE man who goes to any consider
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 ofcorrcsponding size III Penn
svlvania or Ohio, and probably,lnort
school houses. and yet he will tnd plenty
of liquor shops, too. and gambling
houses, and yet he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for ii, and
he will find a community Of ten thou
sand people requiring III the daytime
only one policeman, and very little oc
cypation for him
