of adventure and romance lends an in
dcscribable charm 10 the old town.

are, however. fast disappearing before
the march of progress. The adobe walls
that formed the battlements of the old
Mexican Pueblo have crunbled away
and the mission ruins are falling to
pieces. Prominent public buildings.

residences have been erected with beauti-
ful gardens flowers and shruhbcTy sur

mometer would Indicate. Some claim
! that there is difference OF as mach as
fifteen degrees between the sensible TEN
peraturc and that recorded by he thcr-
mometer.

be especially efficacious. As to tho special
advantage which its climate offers tor
