profitable places or he may not But if he does not. he should not blame Phoe-
 nix people for his misfortunes It is not their fault and they won't stand for it. Dozens are buried annually at puh- lie expense in this county, many others whose cases excite pity are cared for, sometimes buried. by newly made Phoe- nix friends through that charity which permeates every civilized American town but which is nevertheless charity and not the tender feelings of affection. Still others who in sore trouble are too proud to let their wants be known may fail to receive even the blessings of charity and in despair cry out con-
 cerning mans inhumanity to man. Phoenix boasts of her climate, of her hospitality and of her kindly treatment of those who sojourn within her gates but no invalid should leave home and friends and without money journey to Phoenix or any other health resort. He is bound to be a charge on those who owe him nothing and even if he finds his necessities provided for. Wor- ry will counteract any benefits that might accrue from a healthful climate.

SEEKERS AFTER HEALTH
And How They Are Treated by Phoe.
 nix People.

i A telegraph inquiry was received Q i perman by a Phoenix newspaper man asking if there is any place in Phoenix where one suffering of consumption may find entertainment and if so what it costs to live. This incident shows i clearly how Phoenix is looked upon by | a great many people in the east and that view is one that no doubt keeps many people away from here. IL is due entirely to two kinds of bad advertis- ing that this part of Arizona has re- ceived
 First and most important are the stories. usually exaggerated and often absurdly false. written by melancholy sick people who have come here beyond that stage of their illness where lasting benefit may be hoped for and who of tentimes without funds have had to endure privations and perhaps inhos : pitable and seemingly unkind treatment when seeking accommodations in home like surroundings The other unfor- tunate advertising referred to is that of the people who are interest ed solely booming the country; trying to get people here. well knowing that some sort of provision will be made for them. good or bad, and knowing that some of them have plenty of money and all of them little money.
 The facts are that no more hospit- able, kindly or sympathetic class of people can be found on earth than right here in Phoenix, but at the same time it must be remembered that Phoe- nix people have greater demands upon these virtues than almost any other people in the world owing to the large number of sick people who come here. The old adage that Charity begins at home,'' should also be borne in mind and those who call this home. demand first of all self protection. Their own health and that of their families is their first consideration. They cannot there fore invite the whole world. suffering with the great white plague, to come here and accept their hospitality, crowd their homes with invalids and give up their time and money caring for other peoples sick.
 In the little eastern village of a thousand souls where there are only one or two cCnSumptive invalids, they are the special object of attention of the entire community and rightly SO but when the individual sick from all the little eastern towns congregate in one western town, each one who comes is looked upon in sympathy and favor ed when possible but lost in an army Of the suffering, if he secure one CT two good personal friends who will look af- ter his interests he is indeed fortunate.
 It is probably true that in an eastern town d sick man could find nice quiet apartments in any one of half a hun dred families. but in Phoenix where
