On next Friday, April 18th the men,
bers of the Twentieth Century de-
biting club will play an exhibition game
Of basket ball and give dance at the
opera house, for the purpose of raising
money to buy books and other supplies
necessary for the work Of the society.
This is the first Of a series of entertain
ments whicn the young men intend to
give durng the spring and summer,
and in view of the effort which they
have made in starting their organization
without help, and Of the fact that the
object of the society is purely education
al, the people Of Deming should give
them the aid and encouragement of a
large attendance. The entertainment
furnished will be well worth the small
sum of 25cents which Is to be charged
for admittance, while those who wish to
stay and enjoy the dance may do so for
Olny 5Ocents giving a long evening of
solid enjoyment for very small sum,
and helping one Of the most worthy or
ganizations Of our town as well.

FIGHTING CONSUMPTION.
LSeAtIOA Of the SanItArIum At DsmIAG Has
Struck the KSyAots 10 the
SOlutiOn.

Never before has there been sucl
strong feeling and well founded hop,
that consumption will be mastered quite
as completely as other diseases formerly
considered to have been.
In recent years, the last five years
the sientific world has attacked tuber
culosis with vigor and determination
such as has never been applied to it be-
fore, and the results have certainly
been very encouraging.
The discovry of the tuberculosis mi
crobe laid the foundation for the mod.
em theories Of preventing and curing
consumption, and every year those
theories are advanced and their poss-
ible efficacy better demonstrated.
The National Association for the Pre-
vention Of consumption recently held in
England, was the most promising con-
vention Of the kind yet known,
The discussions in which some Of the
most famous students and demonstra-
tions Of tuberculosis engaged at the
London convention not only enlarged
the general knowledge on this import
ant subject but aroused among the lead
ing nations a livelier interest in II, and
set on foot movements that are calcu-
lated to produce practical results Ofim-
mense value.
Sir James CrichtOn Browne, one of
the most famous authorities on con-
sumption, has lately gone so far as to
predict that II will soon be possible to
overcome this disease with almost abs0-
lutte certainty In most cases.
Several liberal gifts were made at the
London convention for the establish
ment Of sanitariums in which tuber-
culosis Is to be treated according to the
latest methods. Albuquerque Citizen.
The National Colony and Sanitarium
for cOnsumptives, located near Deming,
New Mexico, has struck the keynote
to the solution. Here we have all the
conditions essential to the permanent
cure Of that dangerous contagiOn.
Altitude 4SOOfeet; pure, dry air; pure
water; mild, even climate and abundant

County Assessor 8. HOdgOn received
last'week an abstract Of the taxable
real estate in Luna county, outside Of
town property, Which shows that there
is now in the county 25, 1924 acres of
decided real estate. This we consider
a very good showing for our county
and with new claims being proved up
on each year, the amount is rapidly in
creasing, while more attention to agri-
culture is materially enhancing the
value Of the land.

While there has been no boom in
De ming during the past year the
growth in population and business has
been steadily increasing at rate which
Is very satisfactory to her citizens.
Property prices and rents have not at
any time bee raised to the unreasonable
rates usually seen in boom tOw.ls but
every available building has been occu-
pied and there has been constant de-
mand for more accmOdations, and this de-
mand has continued regardless of the
building that has been done. No better
proof of the prosperous condition Of the
town could be gwen than the following
list Of the new buildings erected during
the past year.
Clark g. Co., have just completed a
fine large two story brick at the corner
Of Main street and Gold avenue, which
gives them substantial brick block on
the lower floor Of which are four large
store rooms, while the second story is
fitted up for a lodge room for the
K. P. and as a lodging house which has
b en rented by Mr.. J. W. Cain and is
being fitted up for a first claso hotel.
]. A. Mahoney, who owns the large
hardware and furniture store at the cor
ner Of Gold avenue and Spruce street,
has built on the opposite side Of GGld
avenue fine brick block which is occu-
pied by the Post Office, Hodgdon's
Shoe and Drygoods house, the CONNER
cial club rooms and the Palace Drug
store. Adjoining the Palace Drug
sore on the north is the brick building Of
II. Nordhaus & Son, which is the home
of their gre 1t merchantile establish
ment, also completed during the past
year.
A neat and convenient brick office
building, completed during the past
year, is that Of DR.. Swope on Pine street.
On the north side of the railroad j. W.
Gill has erected several neat cottages
and has in course of construction a
large rooming house, thus adding con.
siderably to the appearance of this
part of town. The Lester block on
Copper avenue, is another new building
fitted up for light housekeep ny, besides
there are a number Of others that
have been completed or are in process
Of construction. The Electric Light
plant and ice factory is completed and
in full operation; the Telephone system
is nearly ready to begin operation,
and the Gable Telegraph company has
opened an Office here giving us two
telegraph lines to all parts of the world.
Large and important as these improve
ments are, the present indications are
that this year will witness more than
double this amount of building and even
then will not be able to supply the de-
mand for dwellings and business houses.
