life even though their salaries were less

WHICH is HOTTEST PLACE7
Decidedly Warm Rivalry Between
Two Towns In the south
west.

With the advent of hot weather the
old controversy between Yuma and
Needles, the first in Arizona, and the
other in California, as to which is the
hottest place in the United States, has
been revived. Neither is clamorlng for
the distiaction-oh. no, each is striving
10 thrust It upon the other! AS a mat
ter OF fact, the difference is so slight
that 1t isn't worth quarreling about.
From now on until late in September
the mercury will climb up in the tuDe un-
I'll IL reaches the 100 mark nearly every
day in both places; and there are weeks
at a stretch when it never falls below
100 even at night. One can cook eggs
hard by simply burying them in the hot
sand. The Mojave Indians of the lower
valley Of the Colorado river always go
barefoot. and the hot sands and stones
have calloused their feet until they are
as hard and as insensible TO pain as the
hoofs Of a horse; they can walk through
fire and trample red-hot Goals without
ninching.
The extreme heat is due to the low al
titude, combined with the proximity Of
the Colorado and Moiave deserts. For a
thousand miles on the east. and GOO on
the north and west. stretches a waste
Of sand and cacti. With every mile ira
versed by the winds they gather heat
so that a cooling breeze from any d.
rection is an impossibility. The man that
traverses the deserts doesn't wonder that
Yuma and Needles are hot. He only
wonders that they are not white hot
Persons who can stand the excessive
heat find Needles and Yuma health re-
sorts admit ably adapted to the cure or
consumption, bronchitis and rheumatism
However. most people would consider the
disease more tolerate than the cure.
A year ago a pretentious hotel was
built at Needles for the purpose Of ex-
plotting the place as a winter resort.

OF VETERAN BoARDER
He Sets Forth n Simple Rule for
h Guidance of the mex
D~erienced,

How true IT is" said the veteran
boarder, that we never know when we
are we'll off.
This is particularly true Of life in
boarding houses. We think how much
better the food and cooking and the serv-
ice might be in the place where we are,
never thinking how much poorer we might
find them elsewhere,
the same time there are certain
things that It is wise to consider in the
selection Of a boarding house. one Of these
concerning the bounteousness of the table.
You cannot live by dishes alone; you must
have food; a pretty table would little
please If there were on II nothing to eat;
and 80 I suppose It will be conceded that
in choosing a boarding place the question
OF whether we would get enough to eat
or not would be an important. II not in
deed the primary, consideration.
Fortunately there is a simple way by
which we can determine this before taking
board permanently. Appearances are de-
ceitful and we may sometimes be mlsled;
but this simple way that 1 will now de-
scribe to you will at least serve as a USE
full guide.
IF you are wise you will eat a sample
dinner in the house in advance. pending
negotiations; and II you find the meat
portions served generous and the vese-
tables served to you in dishes from which
you help yourself to so much as you
desire, 1t is a fair presumption that IN
his house you would get enough to eat,
The meat portions might not be very
large, but II they were of fair dimensions
and the vegetables were still served 50
that you could help yourself to whatever
you wanted. and the bread supply was
ample, why, then you might consider
that here you would get enough TO eat,
but II the vegetables are served to you in
little side dishes, containing portions
dished out in the kitchen, why, then It Is
your own fault II you go astray.
ITO be sure, the portions in the little
dishes may be generous, but IL isn't in
reason 10 expect that they would be-
Dished up in the kitchen, where the rule
is economy, as in truth IT has 10 be, fol
there is none too much profit In the
boarding house business, even at Its best
there is a natural tendency to be skinny
In the spoonfuls, and 10 put not too many
OF them in a dish. In the kitchen they
can keep control of what goes on the
table and make a small supply suffice
for many boarders, by the simple ex'
pedient OF dividing It up into as many
portions as may be required to make II
go around. In short. where you can helI
yourself you get all you want; where YOU
are helped in the kitchen you may get al
you want OF YOU may not,
so, in choosing a boarding place note
for one thing. and l should say the firsi
thing, In what manner the vegetables
are served, and IL they are put on thu
table in individual portions In little dishes
why. then you want TO look out; and 4
you have any question about the size o.
the portions you had better give yourself
the benefit OF the doubt.
"A simple rule this may seem to be
but as to whether the table Is generously
supplied or not all experienced boArder
find a sure guide In what comes In TIT
little dishes."-Hew York Sun.
