| 1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of sanitarium, she is not devoid of in
terest. The health seeker should nevef
/ go to dull place. Ennui and listless
ness are the handmaidens of disease.
Here is interest for the studious hstoI-
ian, the gay sportsman or the mere sight
seer. If you have energy enough to move
| around you can not be dull amid such
surroundings.
NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the inveterately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To the
east Old Baldy lifts snowy dome in
winter, and his steeply sloping forested
sides in summer rival his winter beauty.
In the winter the full moon at night and
the sun by day turn his crest into q
diadem of brilliants. To the west the
Jemez and Vale mountains, scarcely less
grand than the Santa Fe range reflect the
sunsets in a hundred glorious tones, while
their purple bases lend an ideal back
ground for all this splendor.

apricots, large and luscious, apples, pears,
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding better

TIE WATERS OF SANTA VI.
DR.. j. F. Danter, vice president of sac
American Health Resort association, says.
SIT is worth travelling miles to drink OF
such waters as flow through this deep cut
in the mountains and supply the city Of
Santa Fe for domestic purposes and for
irrigation of the fruit farms. Tie water
is absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
the melting SHOWS above, or tricklinG
from springs in the mountain side. 1t 10
free from all lime, alkali or other ingre-
dients so very injurious to the consuinp-
tive patient Such water is great booA
anywhere and at any tins but here, where
other features OF sunshine and pure air
combine to produce an ideal climate, il
is of special value"
