the sun by day turn his crest into q
diadem of brilliants. To the west the

grand than the Santa Fe range reflect the
sunsets in hundred glorious tones, while
their purple bases lend an ideal back
ground for all this splendor.

THE WATERS OF SANTA n.
DR.. J. F. Banter, vice president of the
American Health Resort association, says.
ut 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. The water
il absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
he melting SHOWS above, or trickling
from springs in the mountain side. It 10
iree from all lime, alkali or other ingre-
1ients 80 very injurious to the consump-
i've patient. Such water is great booA
anywhere and at any time, but here, where
)ther features of sunshine and pure AIR
combine to produce an ideal climate, il
Is of special value"
