A Place for Health

THE Southern California Conference has a small farm of ten acres in Riverside County, at the foot of the mountains, which was donated to aid in conference work. It is in the most healthful part of Southern California, being in what is called “the citrous belt.” That is a line around the foot of the mountains, above the frost of the valleys, yet cool in summer, making the temperature more even than in any other part during the whole year.

Seven acres of this farm are in various kinds of fruit, such as pears, peaches, figs, apricots, grapes, etc.

I would not recommend this place as one where a living can be made for a family; but if there is among our people a family having other means of support, who must go to some place where they can have this climate to save a loved one from a consumptive’s grave, or to get relief from rheumatic troubles, or who wish to avoid the extremes of heat and cold of the Eastern States, I know of no better place in all California.

There is a four-room house, a small barn, and a good well. The farm is six miles from the railroad station of Murrieta. The price is $500. The money will be used in the cause. Any one desiring to inquire further, will address Clarence Santee, 143 Carr St., Los Angeles, Cal.
