a fiVe months resii Isouthcrn Ariz-
ona IN winter the Nas but one day
when the weather made il actually un-
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
wouio describe as cloudy, ana some
that were 'showery:' but during the five
months from November, 1895 to Nav,
1866 there were only four davs when
we did not have brilliant sunshine at
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 rires
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but it
is never prudent for stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear,
tonic and dry. | have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world II 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. 1t is much dricr than anv 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 Dsne are largely
supplied. Good beef. mutton and poul-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and venison 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 coun-
try have lived in where straw berries
ripen in the open air ten months in the
year. have had them on my table,
fresh picked from the open gardens, at
Christmas.
"The man who goes 70 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 ofcorrespondings size in Penn
sylvania or Ohio, and probably more
school houses, and yet he will find plenty
of liquor shops. too, and gambling
houses, and yet he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for it, and
he will find a community of ten thou
sand people requiring in the daytime
only one policeman, and very little oc-
cupation for him."

son. savs:-"The climate of Tucson is
by pure, dry, invigorating
air a small amount of rainfall, and an
ever shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
which cut off the chilling
winds of winter. and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions, Its south

an out-of-door life the entire year, and

bronchial diseases daily exercise and life

Of numbcrless cures for consumption, ex
nloited monthly, stands first in the con-
hdence 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-
vond hope of cure, and cured many ID
the earlier stages of consumption.
