The book assumes that the methods of Nature are so much superior to mans methods, as The Creator is wiser than man. that the teachings of Nature should furnish the standard for medi- cal practice as well as the guide for right living. It traces and illustrates Buff's progress, as thought, reason, experience unfold to him the advan tages of working in harmony with the restorative power of Nature. It points out to it's thoughtful readers the natu- ral origin, prevention and cure of tu- !berculosis, which tends to prove that consumpion is no more contagious or hereditary, than indigestion.

 Considerable work is received from outside towns, as Mesa and Tempe
 While doing all manner of laundry work in the very best style. and equal to that executed anywhere in the west the speciality of the laundry is hotel and flat work for families. The soap used is manufactured on the premises and acts as water softener. No inju . rious acids are used and the greatest care is taken of all work with which the laundry is entrusted. Tn this city the Adams and Commercial hotels are regular patrons. as well as many of the other large hotels in the city While the Territorial Normal school at Tempe and the swellest club in Arizona. the YaV- apai club of Prescott. are numbered among it's regular patrons.

Kolberg, the man ager of the company MT Kolberg at that time had just arrived in Phoenix from his former home in Sheboygan. Wisconsin, and was familiar with the business, having for a number of years conducted the leading laundry at She boygan. Ambitious and energetic. pos sessed of the experience and capital he lost no time in investing in Phoenix and the first-class establishment that has since catered to the Phoenix public is the result of his efforts.

Goldman & Co.

Away back in 1874 when Charles Goldman erst came to Arizona. the Salt River Valley was a garden spot. in fact the most beautiful valley in the territory. Impressed with it's possi- bilities as a future mercantile center. Charles Goldman three years later. es- tablished the present house of Gold man brothers. known throughout the valley for its progressive. energetic management and the ample line of general merchandise carried in stock
 No travelling men have been employed by the company, the patronage having come to the house through its reputa- ton for fair and honorable business dealing. The company occupies the first floor and the basement of the Ar cade building on South Center street. and have two warehouses located con veniently near the railroad tracks.
 IT requires capital to establish a mercantile business the size of this establishment capital and years of constant effort. The sales of the Gold man Brothers for the past year exceed ed S150,OOO. This item itself speaks volumes for tke extent of the business transacted, and after thirty-two years of energetic and conscientious appli- cation to business the members of the

New machinery has been installed and extensive inn provements made from time to time, among them large ice houses on the railroad tracks, affording every conve- nience to melon shippers. who, during the season are among the heaviest pur- chasers. In the city a number of deliv- cry wagons make frequent calls for de-

These curios met with a ready sale from the tourists and visitors to the city, and the demand increased so steadily that the firm, besides handling their origi- nal line of coal and wood. erected one of the most artistic buildings in the city. Designed after the old mission style, most appropriate for this sec tion of the country, and now so largely used in Arizona and California. the company placed their collection in the new building and sought additional curios most eagerly. Success met their efforts and the result is seen to- day in "The Curio" store, acknowl- edged to be the finest collection of such articles in the entire southwest
 if not in the United States. From
 this store all the branch establish ments are kept constantly supplied with the rarest specimens of Indian

 Oats. wheat and barley are the small grain crops of the valley. For hay they are frequently "disced in" with alfalfa and make good green pasture for winter The grain yield is from thirty to thi:ty-dve bushels to the acre. Corn and sorghum are usually sowed for an early fali crop.
 F'eathered products in the Salt River valley include ostriches, turkeys ducks and chickens. Of the first named birds there are now in the Salt River valley one-third of all the ostriches in the United States herded in the vii cinity of Phoenix. Four farms have been established and on one of them over 1000 ful-grown birds are yield ing annually $30.OO1 in feathers They graze on alfalfa like cattle and have a productive life for feathers of twenty-five years. Some pairs of these birds are held as high as S2.5OO. while $500 a pair is an ordinary valu- alton for bree ders.
 The Salt River valley is noted for fine horses. both fast driving and draught animals being raised here un- der the most favorable conditions of

own wells from which an ample sup ply of soft water is pumped into ca pacious tanks for use in every depart ment of the laundry Mir Kolberg made an extended eastern trip last summer and purchased many new pieces of machinery that go to make the Arizona Laundry one of the best equipped in the southwest. An idea of the extent of the business may be gained from the knowledge that ten agencies are maintained throughout Arizona, and special express facilities makes it possible to turn this work out in the shortest possible time. All work for the great Pullman system coming into PhoeniX is done directly at this plant. which is in itself a pret- ty compliment.
 The gentlemen. composing the per sonnel of the Arizona Laundry com pany are well and favorably known throughout Arizona, and possess that typical western air that has done so much to make western men q power in whatever community they choose to cast their lot

The Bear Dru0 Co.

Established seven years ago. the Bear Drug Company has been con ducted by the original proprietor un- til one year ago, when the business was purchased by MT. c. $. Clopton. an experienced druggist with an ex- tensive acquaintance in the city The prescription department is in charge of MT. Robert P. ROzeine, a well known pharmacist of exceptional abil- ity.

 The present season is proving that sugar beets in the Salt River valley, as elsewhere. will be most profitable crop not only for the immediate re- turns to the grower but by the conse- queut enhancement of land values. Beets grown in this valley show an average yield of over nineteen tons to the acre and over l6 per cent of sugar contents. This is against nine tons and 13 per cent in the rain belt. What might be called an accidental eXperi- ment near the Glendale factory gave curious results. Beets. which were planted but afterwards left without being thinned. cultivated or irrigated. matured and when tested showed Is per cent of sugar. Out of the same lot a test was made after the beeJs had been in the ground year from planting and showed an Increase to 21 per cent of sugar. Some oi the same beets were still growing two years from the time they were planted and were occasionally pulled and cut up to be cooked for table use by 'sle nearby residents. This all goes to show that the harvest season may be greatly prolonged to the advantage of both grower and sugar maker.

An enumeration of all the products of the combination of soil sunshine and water in the Salt River valley would read like an enlarged seedman's $ catalogue. Anything that will grow in the temperate or semi-tropic regions will thrive in this valley and usually with just a little heavier production. or just a great deal better flavor or just a little speedier maturity or jus, a bit better general excellence than elsewhere. From sugar beets to dates; from oranges to apples; from grapes to cantaloupcs; from alfalfa to wheat; from ostriches to chickens; from speed horses to beef cattle, range the prod ucts that are each year becoming a little better and more widely known.
 It is in the specialized productions that the valley farmer particularly eX- cels. Irrigation tends to intensive more than extensive farming, so it is the man who gives attention to the scientific points in agriculture who achieves the profitable results He studies the chemistry of his soil and it's proper tillage; the ratio of water and fertilization needed to gain the best results; the time of planting and harvesting to get just the right benefit from sunshine and favorable temper ature; the rotation of crops to best use his land, and to lim is not only the
