cLouDcRoFr BABY sANAroRrUM.

/ At Cloudcroft, n. NJ, 5000 feet above
! the sea, and only four and one half
hours by rail from FL Paso. Ell Pasoans
. have erected modern sanatorfum for
I sick babies. Experience has shown
that the cool or even cold summer
climate on the mountain top is almost
a. specific remedy, as it is also a pre-
ventive of the intestinal disorders Of
infants. so deadly in the summer
months. A single gift of $4,000 from an
anonymous philanthropist has been
generously supplemented so that
complete plant for a baby life saving
service" has been made possible, and
is now a reality. The plans contem-
plate group of buildings of which the
main structure is now ready situated
on one of the highest points in the
Cloudcroft reservation in a large tract
donated by the FL Paso and Southwest
ern railroad. Here every facility will
be provided for the care Of sick babies
There are wards and private rooms. A
corps of skilled physicians and trained
nurses will be in attendance. The spa
cious porches afford sun and fresh air
for the convalescent- babies under the
best of conditions. The Cloudcroft
baby saRatorium will do a great deal
of charity work in behalf of the sick
babies of Ell Paso's poor, and it will
also be prepared TO receive patients
from families that can afford to pay
for the service. The records show that
CIouderoft has already literally saved
the lives of scores, perhaps hundreds,
Of sick babies who have almost inva-
riably revived soon after reaching the
cool, rare atmosphere of the mountain
with its magnificent forests and ball
sam laden breezes. This baby sana-
torium is one of the finest undertake
ings Ell Paso has ever put to her credit.
1t is one Of the few such institutions
in the United States and none will sur
pass 1t for completeness Of appoint
ment and efficiency Of service.

further trouble and inconvenience will
be avoided.

Real Estate Values
and Important Sales

A Ii real estate in Ell Paso is divid-
~ ed into three parts. valley lands.
residence property, and business
sites. Each of these divisions has en-
joyed an active movement during the
year, with prospects for phenomenal
sale during the year 1911. Property
values in the city increased in a year
from s2s.OOO.OOO to $4,000. 1000.
Business property. both inside and in
the belt surrounding the actual business
center of the city, has, been brisk in its
activity during the year just closing.
The erection of the skyscrapers and the
Improvement of the existing business
buildings has been a partial cause OF
the increased demand for the downtown
property by persons wishing to invest
their earnings to the best advantage.
The rapid growth of the business sec
ton has caused increased activity in
property which has not before been
considered as desirable business sites.
The opening of West San Antonio ard
North Kansas streets has also added
largely to the value of business prop
erty in the downtown section.
