commend Colorado during the fall and
winter, as the changes are often severe,
becoming raw and cold within a few
hours, and as these are atmospheric CON
ditions to be avoided, il would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having peculiar type of consti-
tuition with a hereditary tendency to
consumption would do well to avail
themselves of an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
1T is a fact that those born hereof
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop, SO long as they re-
main III this climate. It is my opinion
that there is no other section of the
United States which will compare favor
able with that III and about Tucson for
the relict OF pulmonary affections"

the day. Ofeourse there were n good
many days which weather observer
would describe as cloudy, aud some
! that were 'showery;' but during the FIVE
months tfrom November. 1896 to May,
! 1S96l there were only four DAYS when
we did not have brilliant sunshine az
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 nrcs
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day. but it
is never prudent for a stranger TO be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singuIarly clear,
tonic and dry. | have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world. Ii seems
to have about the same bracing and cx
! hilarating qualities as the air OF the
great Sahara In northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabia
patraea. 1t is much drier than any part
OF The valley OF the Nile north OF Gntar-
act. 1t seems TO me about the same IN
quality as the air on the Nile between
| Assouan and Wady IIalta, but some
/ what cooler.
GAS to food, there is plenty, and it is
good. From here the markets OF Los
Angeles, and even OF Dt nvcl are largely
supplied. Good beef, mutton and poul-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and vcnson from the vicinity can also
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund'
ant in their season. and sometimes the
season is long one. 1t is the one conn'
try have lived in where straw berries
ripen in the open air ten months in the
wear. ! have had them on my table,

southwest derived from novels, or from
The Arizona Kicker, willbc greatly mys-
tilted. He will hnd as many churches
as in towns ofcorresponding size IN Penn
svIvania or Ohio, and probably more
school houses. and yet he will find plenty
of liuuor shops, too, and gambling
houses, and yet he will see little disorder
: unless he hunts late at night for ii, and
he will find community OF ten thou

only one policeman, and very htte oc

DIR. A. W. Olcott, health officer of Tue

characterized by pure, dry, invlgoratmt

ever-shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut off the chilling
