THE ANSWER.
valnly Seek Health in Southwest.


According to statement of the Ma.
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis fully 7.180
persons hopelessly diseased with
tuberculosis annually come to die in
the states of California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and Colorado, most of
them by order of their physicians. The
statement, which is based upon the
testimony of wellknown experts, and
all valuable statistics, shows that at
least so per cent. of those who 60 to
the southwest every year for their
health are so far advanced in their
disease that they cannot hope for
cure in any climate, under any cir
cumstances. More than this, at least
go per cent. of these advanced cases
are so poor that they have not suffi-
cient means to provide for the proper
necessaries of life, which means that

to death or forced to accept charitable
