most highly esteemed men in the ter ritory. His health was very bad some time ago and he undertook a very strenuous course for it's recuperation and seemingly a very successful one. It was nothing in the world but com plete fasting and for fOrty-fiVe days his sole diet was water. He continued urtil he only weighed 115 pounds, then decided it was time to begin eatingc He pursued his labors as usual during his fast but when he broke it and be- gan eating again he became quite weak for a time. This gradually wore away and he now has his usual health again but is very careful not to sub init his stomach to the tasks he used to put upon it in other days. He eats twice a day only, once about II a. m. and again about 6 p. m., retiring on an empty stomach so his Body has all night in which to rest. On rising he assumes that the body being rested, needs no food until he has done some thing to tire it, so he does not eat until well toward midday. That is the theory of his system. Whether it will work with others or not he leaves for them to judge but it agrees with him and that is all there is to it.

Scottish Rite may be communicated only by one who has that degree, hence certain honorary members are instructed in its mysteries and en- trusted with conferring these degrees to qualified members as they advance, In this way Mir. Roslruge has ac- quired the title of Inspector General, Honorary. of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, for the Southern Juris- diction of the United States.
 In sparsely settled countries like Arizona, where lodges of the higher degrees of the Scottish Rite can be maintained only far apart, by reason of scattered membership and eXpen- sive paraphernalia, the Inspector Gen eral Honorary is permitted to travel from one point to another and com municate the degrees to classes of ap- plicants. It is a mission of this sort Mir. Roskruge is now on and he has a class of a about a dozen mem bers, some from the fraternity in Phoe- nix and some from Jerome and King man and Roosevelt This work be- gan yesterday and it is expected it will take at least two days to com plete it. And when completed the ap- plicants securing the degrees will be- come members of the lodges in Tue son. the only point in the territory having the Scottish Rite organizations. These lodges are named as follows: Santa Rita Lodge of Perfection; San ta Catalina Chapter of Rose CroiX; Santa Cruz Council of Kadosh; and Arizona Consistory.
 There is one other degree which is quite popular with the fraternity though it is not actually a degree of Masonry except that it is recognized as aiding in it's social side and that is the Mystic Shrine. To be eligible to that degree an applicant must have secured first, all the York rites or all the Scottish rites to and including the thirty second.
 Even aside from Masonry Mir Rosk- ruge is one of the best known and

THt SCOTTISH RITE
 DEGREES OF MASONRY
It Is Being Communicated Here By George J. Roskruge, Inspector Gen. eraI. Honorary, of the Southern Jurisdiction U. s. A.

George J. Roskruge of Tucson, a thirty third degree Mason and one of the most notable dignitaries of the order in the southwest, is in the city for the purpose of communicating Scottish Rite degrees of the order to qualified candidates. In view of the fact that so many readers know little of Masonry and so many others nave a confused idea of it, a somewhat de- tailed statement of its organization, the relation of one body to another, may be interesting.
 All MasOns are on an equal footir- Y until passing the three degrees of lhe Blue lodge which is the foundation O. the order From this point there are two routes of travel a Mason may take, or he may follow both to their termination. One is called the York Rite and this includes the degrees of the Chapter and the Commandery or Knights Templar.
 If he prefers to take the other route, or travel both roads. after passing the Blue lodge he enters the lodge of Perfection which includes all degrees from the Fourth t. the Fourteenth. Next comes the chapter of Rose CroiX. or the fifteenth to the eighteenth de grees. inclusive. He next enters the Council of kadash receiving eleven de- grees from the nineteenth to the thir- tieth. From there he goes to the Con- sistory which includes the thirty first and thirty second degrees.
 The active membership of the thir- ty-third degree is limited but the
