Two Summer Sins

Physicians are protesting against
two practices habitual among women.
especially those who stay I'm town for
the summer.
one is the custom of shutting up the
house and sitting i'm dark rooms de-
prived Of oxygen by the absence of
sunlight and air.
The other is the practice of going
without sufficient sleep. On hot sum-
mer nights the tendency is to sit up
until late hours, and these inroads on
the necessary eight hours sleep are
sure to tell on the health and temper
When one has TO endure the noises
and distractions OF the city all sum-
mer one needs the more sleep. and
nothing should be allowed to cut the
eight hours short.

ing place. he said, in the Salt river valley. which the great Tonto reservoir scheme is bringing under cultivation. This valley is fifteen miles wide by thirty long, and is as level as a floor. Irrigation on a small scale has shown that the soil is wonderfully productive. A dam costing over three million dol lars is now being built across the river, and behind it will be the largest ar tificial body of water in the world, a lake twenty-five miles long, with an average width of one and a half mile, and a capacity of one million one hun dred thousand acre-feet. This reser- voir will be used for the irrigation of two hundred thousand acres of land, and when filled it will hold enough for a three years supply without addition from natural sources.
 The completion of this dam will mean a good deal to this district, and MT. St Claire says the land now selling there for twenty-five dollars to thirty dollars an acre will be worth hun

A CARELESS SCIENTIST.

Professor Lombroso, the Italian scien- tist, is now 70 years old but extremely willful. and although he asks the ad vice of his family in everything always acts contrary to it. When asked to put on evening clothes he often instead dOns a lounge suit. His indifference to money is proverbial. When he goes out he puts bank notes in the same pocket with his handkerchief, so that when he draws out the latter the bank notes are lost. Now. however after frequently finding himself without money while travelling the professor fills all his pockets with bank notes, thus hoping never to be entirely with out funds, even if the contents of one pocket should be lost.

dred dollars in years time
 There are now two railway lines run ming through Phoenix, and at the pres ent time a $350,OOO beet sugar plant is being erected there. This will mean a good market for beet sugar, which is a most successful crop.
 Tn fact said MT. St. Claire. we can grow anything there in abundance. We grow semi-tropical fruits like oranges, lemons. and figs-we get three crops of figs a year. Besides that all our pro- ducts come into the market six weeks earlier than those of California. We harvest five crops of alfalfa a year This averages five tons an acre each year, and brings from eight to twelve dollars, and fifteen dollars a ton.
 There is one peculiarity about irri- gation. This is that the land thus wa tered is not only wonderfully fertile but the water acts as fertilizer, and the land becomes richer every year The climate is ideal: in fact some ot the hotels advertise that they will not ask their guests to pay anything on the days when the sun does not shine Frosts we are not troubled with. vege- tation is at standstin for only two months in the year, and flowers bloom in the open air all the year round.
 The mineral resources of the coun- try are vast, and are practically unde- Veloped. Yet Arizona already stands second in the output of copper of any state in the union, and fourth in the output of gold. Every known mineral is to be found there. And then We have ostrich farms, fine stock farms, and we grow olives, grape fruit, almonds, and -oh, well. you ought to come and see for yourself. It's the most wonderful state in the union and a splendid place for the young man

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family physicians; suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or oVer-buSy doctor. sep arate and distinct diseases, for which he. assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills and pOtionS. In reality, they are all only symptoms caused by some uterine disease. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering. encourages this prac- tIce until large bills are made. The Suf- fering patient gets no better, but proba bly, worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications proper medicine like Dr. Pierce'S Fa- vorite Prescription, directed to the cause thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms. and inStituting comfort in- stead of prolonged misery. It has been we'll said, that "a disease known is half cured"
