Our cold is high dry and thin. It does not pene trate and cause teeth to chatter. The abundance of our pine and spruce in the mountains, whence we enjoy almost constant breezes at all time keeps our supply of ozone A-1 in every respect. The altitude gives us what is common ly designated "rare air." This rare air containing less Oxvgrn than that of lower altitudes causes a person to inhale more and deep er and thus expand every part of his lungs in order to secure suffici ent oxygen to meet the require ments of personal blood purifica tion. As a result of this extra pulmonary exercise the lungs grow stronger (and are therefore more able to resist attacking disease) in the same sense that person's muscles will develop and grow stronger as a result of judicious physical exercises.

As a Healthy Loca tion, Second to None In the Territory of New Mexico there is no village with a more auspicious future than Cimarron. While new Cimarron is in it's in fancy and no showy pretentions are visible yet we are growing and going ahead in that slow steady style that is always characteristic of a people who accomplish things, who grow who thus compel their environments to grow. If there ever was an ideal site for a thriving city, Cimarron is that place. We are nestled right in the head of the Cimarron Val ley where the never failing Cimar ron river makes it's exit from the mountains to follow its course down the valley to make productive all adjacent lands. We are in a three quarter circle, so to speak, having a continous chain of mountains on on the North, West, and South. On the east we have the valley widening and rolling awav as tar as eyes can see.

Getting into real action compels an improved physi cal condition. These things are enjoyed by all the residents of the village of Cimarron. When we say there is no town anywhere en joying a more desiring sanitary location we mean exactly what one statement conveys normally. To express it laconcally: "Cimarron is an ideal place for an ideal home" in which to emplov ideal health. Mrs. Chas, Galliger is here from E-town this week visitieg Mrs. Dr. Bass. - H. H.
