the week at the Florence hotel which
was a very enjoyable occasion for all
concerned. A large amount of business
was transacted and though Mr.. Brown
does not himself give out the Informal
ton, it is known that he was elected
grand president for the fourth consecu-
tive year, which is no small honor as
the Spanish-American Alliance is an
order of much consequence and position
in the territory. Althee Modesti Of
Yuma was elected grand vice president
and J. c. Merino Of Tucson was elected
grand secretary. An important change
was made in the policy Of the lodge
which heretofore was on the basis of
one dollar per member. 1t has not been
rearranged as a straight thousand dol
lar policy and seven thousand dollars
that was retained in the general fund
Of the lodge was converted into a sink
ing fund to meet the demands that may
occur under the new method. 1t is
thought that the change in the policy
will be of much benefit to members.
Mr.. Brown, having settled down to
work in his official capacity again,
wishes the announcement made that
from now until the time of closing up
the tax roll, February 5th. the books
will be kept at Justice Nielsen's office
where he will be to take in taxes and
give receipts. The Justices office is

MESA
CITY FREE FROM coNTAGloN
Health Officer Drane is Not Antagon-
istic to Germ Spreading Kissing.

DIR. ]. +. Drane, who was lately APP
pointed health officer for Mesa City, re-
ports that the general condition of
health in the city is good and that no
contagious diseases have been report
ed to him. He has only been health
officer but a short time but he is COM
pleting his plans with the idea Of fill
ing the office full OF activity.
In the beginning it might be well to
state that the doctor is the head of d
happy family, so that any opinions that
he might have given cannot be con-
strued I'm the wrong light. for the doc
tor is not antagonistic to the kissing
habit, that is he does not believe that
one should, or rather that two should
desist from il entirely. He does not be-
lieve that every smack means the
transfer Of ten million germs nor ev-
cry old fashioned exhibition of the os-
culatory powers sudden death.
In regard to the kissing habit he
said: Consumption is a latent disease
and may be in the system for a Ions
time. Il might have been contracted
from 4 kiss and again It might not.
History goes to show that while kiss
ing might have been responsible for
contracting the disease yet the patient
afflicted in very few instances has been
able TO trace their infection to a kiss.
Typhoid fever might be contracted by
kissing but there are so many other
ways TO contract It that the primary
cause can hardly be laid at the door Of
the kissing habit l would not advise
4 well person 10 kiss a person affected
with consumption for it is very prob
able that germs may be transferred.
however il is a well known fact that
man and wife have lived together for
years and only one be affected. The
kissing habit may or may not be the
cause Of spreading the disease, yet
when il comes to saying that it should
be stopped altogether, that is differ
ent matter"
DR.. Drane is a young man AID has
probably had occasion within the last
ten years 10 give the kissing habit
some little attention, therefore it might
be well to give his theories credence
over those who give opinions without
forethought and study. II ever a law
is passed prohibiting kissing-which
surely there never will be-without
first being prescribed by a physician.
the Mesa doctor ought TO make more
money than Hartman railroad.

can be no greater or more mysterious
