ST.LUKE' $ DANCE
 SOCIETY EVENT.
Since the Ball is Given for the Benefit of the Home Many Responses Have Been Received to the In vitatiOnS

The St Luke's dance is attracting
 society's individual attention since
 holiday affairs have been disposed
 of. Mrs. Gordon Tweed has received scores of replies to the cards issued 1 for the dance a week ago.
 | Since the ball is given for the i benefit of St. Lukes a word from
 Rev Bertrand Cocks, of the institu- 1 ton will be of interest.
 BY BERTRAND COCKS St. Luke's home was founded in l the fall of 1907. It is intended for those who are ill with tuberculosis whose means are limited. The need for such an institution has always been great. Bishop Atwood recogniz- ed this need and tried in a measure to meet it. Through his efforts in the east about six thousand dollars was obtained and the work started. Tn the past seven years about one hundred and forty thousand dollars
 has been expended in the work. A part of this money has, of course come from patients for board and care, but about half of this amount has been raised for equipment, main- ltenance and endowment.
 We have an endowment fund
 which at the present time amounts
 to $17,SOO The interest on this amount is not sufficient to care for three patients-but there are usually
 from five to seven who are cared for absolutely free of charge. In addi-
 tion to this a number are cared for
 at less than the regular rates. We have well equipped plant which includes both individual bun
 galows and a hospital building in which bed patients are cared for. We can care for about forty patients, at
 present we have about twenty-five. Ordinarily the institution is crowded. This year. owing to the general fin ancial depression-which has affected
 our income materially-we have been compelled to refuse admittance to any additional patients who were unable to pay the regular rate. This we were very reluctant to do but in our
 present financial condition it is i'm possible to do otherwise This does
 not mean that we are not caring for any persons at less than the regular
 rates now--for as a matter of fact
 we have five free patients and a
 number of others who are paying
 considerably less than the regular rates.
 Our regular charge is s15 per week. This is practically what it
 costs to maintain a patient This
Arizona republican., 1915-01-02

rate includes medical attention, nurs- ing, in fact everything but medicines and personal laundry.
 What we need is a much larger endowment in order that we may re- duce our rate to a nominal sum five or six dollars per week. But our immediate need is for funds for main tenance, in order that We may care for those we have and also extend help to a greater number.
 Our patients are not indigents but self-respecting young men and Wo- men. They pay their way as far as they possibly can, but the fight is a long one and many need help. When they are well they shoulder their re- responsibilities There are over twen- ty former patients of this institution who are leading useful and helpful lives right here in Phoenix.
 The economical loss from tubercu losis amounts to five hundred million dollars a year. But what price can you put on a life? We are not deal

THE REORGANIZATION 0F
 THE CEMENT INDUSTRY
How the Arizona Portland Cement Company is to be Re- established

Considerable work is being done by a group of interested men in reorgani- zation plans of the cement industry in the Salt River valley. The old cement plant on the Tempe road, is to be re- opened early in the spring if the pres ent plan of financing is matured
 A complete reorganization has been perfected whereby the amount of capi- talization has been decreased to $250,- GOO. Half of the capitalization is to be common stock, and this is to absorb all the stock of the Arizona Portland Ce- ment company, leaving the other half of the capitalization to be known as preferred stock. which shall be entitled out of the net surplus profits accumu- lative dividends at the rate of ten per cent per annum, in preference and pri- ority to the payments of dividends on common stock
 The men now interested are endeaV bring to raise additional capital with the preferred stock in the form of op erating certificates. These certificates, to quote the application, reads:
 "* which will upon demand entitle me to it's equivalent face value in cement manufactured by the com pany at q price of s2.22. net, per bar rel f. O. b. factory, provided demand is made any time after ninety days from date of first manufacture of cement by said company; and. provided further that not more than the value of 2500 barrels of cement be redeemed during any one month or in liue thereof upon demand and surrender of the said op- erating certificate to the company, it will deliver to the owner ten per cent 10d) dividend bearing preferred stock of the company to the full amount of the face value of this application and order.
 This application to be issued in dup licate, copy of which l shall retain as my receipt for payment thereof.
 There nas recently been a great deal of discussion among the business men and the various commercial organiza- tions in the city relative to the possi bilities of the cement manufacturing industry in the Salt River valley. It is generally believed that cement can be prcfitably made in the valley. There is strong local sentiment in favor Of patronizing home -manufac- tured products.

CHICKEN MITES QUICKLY
AND EASILY DESTROYED

Poultry raisers will be gratified to
learn that a preparation has just been
put on the market that spells instant
death to Chicken Mites. These an
noying and destructive pests can now
be eXterminated in few minutes and
at very trifling cost.
MIR. Thompson. of the f. 4. Thomp-
son Company. Detroit. announces that
his concern has recently placed on the
marekt "Fumoth" fumigator that
kills mites and lice instantly and not
by suffocation. like sulphur or formal
dchyde. 1t is harmless and easy to
use and eliminates that tedious work
Of spraying and exposure to the lice
and mites.
The fumigators are large sheets of
fumigating paper, saturated with a
volatile, non-corrosive material that Is
readily volatized by heat produced in
slow burning. The fumes go into all
he cracks and crevices and permeate
The staw, killing every insect. Thcr
are no after orders and the fowls vnl
be returned Immediately afterwards.
One sheet will fumigate chicken
house 10 or II feet square in less thn'
one-half hours time.

years, she was -passionately
crying,
1t was feeling OF outraged justice
that made her speak. for she was just
woman-the daughter of pa.

would like to think of you assigning
the place to Dave, when I've stayed
here and kept 1t up the best could
for twenty years?"
II think you don't realize what
you've done," she said; and turned to
the bedroom to take off her things.
1t was not until the next month, the
clustering month of March that all
was mace clear 1t was early in the
afternoon when Libby looked from the
window and saw man coming in at
the big gate.
That friend of Dawes from the city

son, " and such day as tis!"
The stranger warmed his hands, and
disbursed numte of pleasantries.

and looked triumphantly over to Libby.

the older woman, ''it worries Dave

Libby Anderson hung the dishcloth
on its accustomed nail, and stood there
surveying it. 1t was plain from the
way she looked, that she had deter
mined to speak.
Ma she asked of the woman who
was sitting before the little round
stove, " what were those papers Dave
put in his pocket as | came in?"
Some things ne was shown me-"
Ma" she asked quiverngly, you
didn't sign anything, did you?"
Il diun't sign your name to any
thing" And the needles clashed
again.
She knew her mother too well to
press further.
Il just couldn't understand Dave
coming here this time of year." she
ventured; and l. thought he acted
queer"

ting.
I'm going to bed. and you'd better
come along, too." was her reply.
A week went by. and although Libby
had twice forgotten to feed the chick
ems. and had several times let the ket-
tie burn dry, she was beginning to feel
more settled in her mind.
She did up the work one morning
and went to town.
Her first call was at the solicitors,
and here she heard the worst. Ma had
assigned their home to Dave. She did
not make any fuss; she was too old
fashioned for Mysteries.

the average temperature, 70 to "A de-

If a room at GS degrees is not warm
enough for any healthy person it is
because the humidity is too low, and
water should be evaporated to bring
the moisture up to the right degree.

others. To obtain picture the wood
must be in contact with OF at little
distance above the Photographic
plate, and must remain there for times
varying from half an hour to eigh-
teen hours, and be at a temperature
not higher than 131 degrees Fahren-

The wood of the conifers is very

very definite. Ii lne action exerted

resinous bodies present in the wood;
but it is remarkable that there Is no
action from the dark autumn wood.
Resin exists in the dark rings, but
apparently under such conditions that
it cannot escape. With the spruces
the action on the plate is not so def

than conifers, oak and beech are both
active and give very good pictures, as
do also acacia (Robina,) Spanish

hand, ash, elm, horse chestnut and

active. Knots in wood generally.
