Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of sanitarium, she ia not devoid of i'm
terest. The health seeker should never
go to dull place. Ennui and listless,
ness are the handmaidens of disease.
Here is interest for the studious histor-
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 moderately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To tho
east Ola Badly lifts a 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
TO spo bup
their purple bases lend an ideal back
ground for all this splendor.

THE WATERS OF SANTA n.
DR.. ]. F. Banter, vice president of the
American Health Resort association, sayss
1 at 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 aud for
irrigation of the fruit farms. The water
is absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
J the melting SHOWS above, or trickling
from springs in the mountain side. It il
free from all lime, alkali or other ingre-
dents go very injurious to the consump-
tive patient. Such water is a great booa
anywhere ana at any time, but here, where
other features OF sunshine and pure air
combine reproduce an ideal climate, ID
is of special value"
