u mate, the Salt River valley Of Arizona
is a Mecca for health seekers. Being sit
uated eleven hundred feet above the sea
level, it combines a high altitude with the
sunshiny balm of the Tropics. With snow
capped mountains easily visible in the not far
away distance, with skies rarely obscured by
clouds, with oranges, dates and other semi
tropical fruits growing in the greatest abund-
ance and with roses shedding their fragrance
in the dead of winter, this valley and partic-
ularly the city and section Of Phoenix is a
veritable paradise for victims Of lung trou-
ble
1t is cOnservatively estimated that each win
ter between two thousand and three thousand
sufferers from the Great White Plague come
here. In the late fall almost every train con-
tains victim of tuberculosis and a sallow
skinned, hollow eyed specimen, the feebleness
Of whose walk and the shabbiness Of whose
loose fitting clothing brand him as penniless
"lunger," come to add one more victim
TO the pauper list, one more addition to the
Potter's field His physician, seeing that he
is travelling the path that almost irrevocably
leads to death, issues the dictum, eco to
Phoenix His only thought is to get here,
No idea does he seem to have Of the expenses
Of sojourn in this vicinity no consideration
does he seem to give the paucity of positions
which is caused by hundreds of seekers Of
health doing work merely in order to live.
eff [ can only get to Phoenix" thinks the
lunger even in the last stage, call will be
WE'LL" and though many times on stretcher
is he borne, though in his eyes the signal of
death is seen Enthusiastically approaching in
the very near future he comes with the full
expectation Of again becoming sound and
strong man. Almost invariably it is the day
time that he arrives. The glorious warmth
of the sunshine causes him to breathe easier,
the half tropical verdure and the scent Of
sweet flowers create new hope within him.
He staggers from his seat in the car and
probably assisted by kind-hearted conduct
or steps upon the ground and at once begins
the quest Of lodging house In an hours
time dozen boarding houses have turned
him away, for there is a conspicuous sign on
the front door, "No accommodations for con-
sumptives." A frosty night is approaching.
Indigestible feod at a cheap restaurant is
probably procured and in order to get warm,
to recover from the chill caused by the fever
incident to this malady, he goes into bar
room. If he has no money he is kicked out
unceremoniously and if the price Of a drink
is still in his pocket, he buys one and sits by
the warm fire until the "closing up time"
arrives and the barkeeper says that the time
to move has come.

EDITORIAL NOTE.

Commenting on "What Congress Failed to
Do With a Billion, the New York American
says:
eve cannot fail to notice the absence of
any specific amount set aside for the health
of the nation. We spend money for the pro-
lection Of hogs and cattle from cholera and
fever. Experts are ever ready to give assist
ance to the stock breeder.
"When it comes to human beings, however,
the National Government seems to think we
are perfect enough, for it has never contrib
uted a cent toward combating or investigating

think we need some OF the sense of
humor possessed by an Irish neighbor
OF mine, who built what we regarded
an extremely ugly house, which stood
out in bright colors as We looked
from our windows. My taste in archi
lecture differed so widely from that
affected by my Irish friend, that we
planted out the view OF his house by
moving some large trees to the end of
our property. Another nefghbor who
watched this work going on asked Mr..
Foley why Mr.. Rockefeller moved all
these big trees and cut on the view
between the houses. Foley. with the
quick wit of his country, responded
instantly: Its hwy, they can't stand

SERGE FOR SCHOOL FRocks.
Is Rapidly Superseding All Other Ma.
terials in Popularity.

1t looks as though serges would take
the place of almost all other materials
for those dressy little frocks that
children wear to school. The patterns
are good. too, being in jumper STYLES,
with outlines made with piping, and
the underwaist of soft material in
like color with the sleeves trimmed
with anchors or pretty emblems suit
able for such purposes. One dark blue
serge dress was made plain with a
plated skirt, each plat about two
inches wide at the waist line, gradual
ly broadening at the hem. The jumper
waist was also plated in similar
style and made with wide armholes,
outlined with narrow band of wooden
braid in brickred tone. The "
shaped yoke was fashioned in the
same manner. However the yoke had
heading about 21a inches wide, cut
the shape of the yoke and outlined on
each side with braid; the dress fas-
tened with small brick-red buttons.

ST. Peters Church. London.

-lergy. married a the little church
four years ago his chaplain, the Rev
Mr. Mcmillan. to Miss Maurice, grand
daughter of the late Rev. Charles Mau
rIce. and daughter of Gen. Maurice
Ia the middle Victorian period Dr.
Maurice was the incumbent of the
church He soon became celebrated as
The most eloquent and powerful
preacher in the Church OF England
and brought St. Peters from the un
enown ranks of a chapel of ease TO lis
present status of famous and fash
iunable church. The only other mar
that of Lord Selborne's daughter 10
Col Lord Digby of the Coldstream
guards. This was some years ago and
King Edward was among the guests
3ut for the fact that the bride was
daughter of Engiands lord chancellor
II is doubtful whether the special AT
thorization needed for the ceremony
would have been issued. In the Nc
MILAN Maurice wedding the fact that
he bridegroom was chaplain to the
archbishop of Canterbury made it eas-
she might be married in her grand
'ather's old church. The fees for the
special license ard special authorize
ion amounted TO $3.50.
ST. Peters was built two centuries
ago by the earl OF oxford as domes
Tic chapel to his big mansion on what
were then the outskirts of London
About a century ago, when the earl
dom became extinct, the chapel be
came the property of the crown and
has remained so ever since. For years
it was used as a chapel of ease and
has never had parish attached to It..
The government finally charged pew
rents, in DIR. Maurice's time. for the
church was crowded to the doors
twice every Sunday. When Dr. Mau-
rice died Canon Page Roberts of Can
terbury, another Of England's most ia
nous preachers. succeeded him and
still is in charge. Canon Page Rob
erts goes to London only during the
social season, and during the other
months of the year his curate con-
ducts the services, and distinguished
preachers from all parts visit there
Inc late blsnop fotteT OF New YORK
has been heard there.
The exterior of st. Peters is very
plain. 1t looks more like a little old
church in the backwoods than a IA
nous London place of worship. But
the interior is a thing of beauty.
Thousands upon thousands of dollars
have been spent on ii during the last
quarter of a century. Its marvellous
windows. altar pictures and decora-
tions are all by Burne-Jones. and hun
dreds of American tourists visit it
every year to see them. Its congre-
CATION is said to be the most intellect
ual in England. The church being so
near Cavendish square and Harley
street. a large number of scientists,
surgeons and physicians. attend It,
Lord Cheylesmore, ex-mayor of West
minister, and his American wife at
tend. The duke of Wellington, Lord
Roberts and hundred or more great
peers are pewholders. So anxious are
people to attend the services that the
vestry always has a waiting list OF
over 800 who have applied for pews.

They say that the suggestion is but

Gibbons lives
Their first argument against the sug-

respect and consideration for Cardinal
Gibbons that 1t will never place another
American prelate on the same plane

have at least two new cardinals.

Minnesota Executive Thinks
Free Trade Should Be

Absolute free trade between Canada
and the United States will be urged
BY Gov. John A. Johnson OF Mime
sofa, who arrived here today. 1t viii
be one OF the things for which the Min
nesOta governor Wilr stand before the
people as a national figure in politics.
Governor Johnson is here to attend

ternaI resources. He5rs accompanied by
p. H Nelson. OF HIbDing. Frederick B.

of Mankato, who 90 as delegates.
Governor Jonnson's advocacy OF
Canadian reciprocity is not new, but il
viii be advocated with renewed yig7r
and in such a way that it is bound 20
attract national attention. The gov
ernor believes the bars should be let
Gown entirely and that there should be
no restrictions in trade.
Minnesota Interested.
I'VE of Minnesota have nothing 10

The time Is rapidly approaching when
we viii not be able TO make such an ar
rangement, as Canada viii soon reach
that period OF development when we
will need ner more than she Will

Take lumber as an example The
time 10 not far off when we viii have

Is absurd to think that in our trade we
can reach out as far as Oregon and
Washington but cannot go TO Winnipeg
because Of an imaginary line
OF the delegates accompanying the
cause Of his knowledge Of the iron in
dUstry; Nj Lynch, because Of the fact
that he is engaged in numbering and is
absolutely familiar with that phase OF
NIinnesota's resources. and Mr.. Works,
because he is the owner Of large farm
ing interests and is thoroughly familiar
with the science Of advanced agTicUl-
ture

fend the varied industries OF Mime

Johnson to Speak Here.
While IN Washington the governor
will probably be much in evidence and
viii make one or more addresses He
has received invitations 70 speak in
New York and Ohio on the way home
and will appear at several points.
Governor Johnson's unique attitude
In the Democratic party and his pos
sibIe candidacy for the Presidential
nomination four years hence. are bound
10 make him a marked figure at this
gathering.
tt is no secret that the governor is
being doomed i'm several quarters for
the leadership of the Democratic party,
and IS unhesitatingIy acclaimed as the
future leader OF his party and the lOgi-
cal candidate to succeed to the lead
ership in which Bryan has so often and
so signally failed
That the governor is taking along his
Presidential manager. Mr.. Lynch. is an
indication that the significance OF this
trip is not being overlooked.
