ORDER OF MOOSE WILL BUILD BIG
 SANITAR|UM
Effort Being Made to Have Order Lo- cate Sanitarlum in Arizona Where Climate Offers
 Best Opportunities

lie ICIiOWluS ITOu tue STdCSIul p6u of Sam Small the gifted writer and orator,appearing in the Arizona Demo crat, will be of interest to the mem bers Of the Clifton Moose as showing the good work which is being car ried on by this order. The annual convention has just been held and an effort to bring the national sanitarium to Arizona is under way. The writer says:
 Let us forget the Bull Moosers for awhile, and turn our attention to the real folk-the Loyal Order of Moose.
 That fine and growing fraternal order has just been in annual ses- sion and met with glowing reports of the rapid extension of it's ranks in all parts of the country. It is founded upon attractive principles of human brotherhood and mutual aid in eXigencies, and therefore ap- peals strongly to the democratic and uplift spirit of Americans of the present age.
 The order has taken definite steps to establish a national sanitariun for the better care, treatment and cure of such of it's members as are unable to individually provide those measures for themselves. The un- dertaking is one of emphatic benevo- lence and wise sympathy
 While all new members of the order are required to be in average health, when created Moose, it is natural that the common ills of hu- man flesh should fall upon them as upon others. As the Moose are found in every state in the union, it happens that the diseases which are of climatic origin or aggrava- tion will attack them as they do oth- CT persons, they develop those affec- tions of the respiratory organs and the tubercular afflictions equally with others and SO need the same treatment. Changes of residence and balms that nature provides.
 Arizona, by all the reasons that are cogent. should be the state in which the Moose could most profit ably locate their national sanitar- ium. The Almighty has amazingly endowed our state with any eli matic conditions that therapeutic ex- perts may demand for such an in stitution. As some one has as truth can find any temperature from the hearthstone of hell to the top of the world
 Arizona can provide from her home fields, orchards and factories, all the provisions necessary for the equipment and conduct of such 8 great sanitarium. There is health in our air, our foods and our fruits.
 The thing to do is for our people to get interested and busy in the work of presenting Arizona to the Moose officials as the proper, in- deed the only logical place for that sanitarium.
 Our state officials should join in the effort by promising official, re- liable data to prove the adaptations of our climate, our health statistics, and our economic conditions to meet the requirements of the Moose with respect to their institution.
 Our local leaders, in Phoenix, Tucson, Prescott, or Flagstaff, 5r whatever town thinks itself in the bidding, should assemble popular meetings, explain the project and urge their people to strive for the prize.
 The location of that big Moose sanitarium in Arizona would be an inestimable advertisement of the health assuring conditions of the state. It would turn the eyes of mil est natural hospitals for the cure Of human ills. It would make every Loy- al Moose in the nation a hearty boost CT for Arizona in general
 Besides, if the Moose locate their sanitarium in Arizona and it makes a good record, as it will there are other great associations in the country that may be induced to come to Arizona and duplicate the good work
 Let us get busy and take time by forelock, or we may miss also his fetlock.
