1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of sanitarium, she is not devc:d of in
terest. The health seeker should nevef
go to dull place. Ennui and lstless
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 inveterately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To tho
east Old 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
sunsets in hundred glorious tones, while
their purple bases lend an ideal back.
ground for all this splendor.

situations located here, in spacious and
attractive modern buildings, are the U.

THE WATERS OF SANTA ~.
Dr.. ]. F. Banter, vice president Of the
American Health Resort association, sayss
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
is absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
the melting SHOWS above, or trickling

anywhere and at any time, but here, where
other features OF sunshine and pure oil
combine to produce an ideal climate, ID
is of special value"
