 i Realizing the benefit to the com
 munity of such an institution as St Luke's and feeling impelled to do something in furtherance of the work at that institution, Messrs. Reeves & Woods of the Coliseum made the of- 1 fer which has been gratefully accept cd by the management or the home The performance to be given at the
 theater Monday eteningt is. said to be an exceptionally clever one, so that the patrons will not only receive a ! full measure of entertainment and pleasure for their small investment.
 but at the same1-siHas. will haze the consciopsness of knowing. that half of il will go towards furtherfng the work of the home.
 Hundreds of persons who cannot see their way clear to give large sums will thus be enabled to- enjoy an evenings entertainment and -at the same time apply their mite towards a good work, wherefor the friends and patrons of the home. as well as all who are interested in its success and growth, are urged to present them selves at the box office of the Coli scum Monday evening.

 St. Lukes. home is an institution established less than three years ago for the treatment of tuberculosis Since its doors were opened it has proven many times the great need for such a place in this community. and the call upon its resources has grown faster than has been possible to keep pace with.
 The home has filled long felt want in Phoenix. in that il has cared for many unfortunates who otherwise would have been left to the mercy Of charitably inclined individuals, or taken for their last hours to the county house.
 The running expenses of the home are more than double the amount of income. and it is to assist in meeting this deficit that the funds derived from Monday nights entertainment are to be devoted. Much of the sup port of the home comes from outside sources. but the management feels that the people of Phoenix should be given an opportunity 10 do their share | in its maintenance.
 At St. Luke's the disease is treated | in the most advanced and scientific | manner. Twenty bungalows. built on approved hygienic lines, shelter the patients, who are given careful nurs- | ing. proper food and medical attend | ance by a staff of physicians. Many | of the leading men and women -of Phoenix and the territory are identi- | fled in--the work.
 Among the improvements mace dur ! ing the season just closing has been 1 the erection Of d .trnodel infirmary building. swAIeres the nrpre advanced ! cases. as well as those temporarily !, compelled to take to their beds. can !, be cared for.
 This building. the corner stope- of | which was laid several months ago ! with appropriate ceremonies. partici- pated in by the governor. the chief i justice and other prominent men. IS | of attractive design, and contains | every convenience to be found in up- | to-date hospitals. including operating |
 l.. .t1h fp and ventilating systems. and other ' admirable accessories.
 The irfirmary was erected at a cos. of about s7.000. a portion of which is already in hand No provision. how ! eyer. has as yet been made for fur nishing the building, and it Is prob able that the funds derived from the Monday entertainment at the Coli scum will be devoted to this end, in order that when the home reopens in the fall it will be more fully and ready to go forward or it's great mission of healing the sick and caring for the dying in larger measure than has yet been possible.
 At any rate. don't be backward in forward to the Coliseum on evening.
 Blessed be the man that proVideth for the sick and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in time of trouble.
