The United Railways of Havana 



in conjunction with the Cuba Railroad, maintain a service of

 city of CAMAGUEY, and one Express Train daily between 

 Havana and SANTIAGO DE CUBA, the "Dream City of the 

 West Indies." Buffet lunch is served on these trains. 



FOUR TRAINS DAILY 



in both directions between Havana and MATANZAS, which latter city because of its pictur- 

 esque situation and the charm of its principal attractions (Yumuri's famous valley and the 

 wonderful caves of Bellamar, has long enjoyed the distinction as the great "Mecca" of the 

 tourists, and it continues to gain in popularity. EXCELLENT TRAIN SERVICE is maintained 

 to many other places of great interest to tourists, all of which are fully described in "Cuba — A 

 Winter Paradise," a profusely illustrated 80-page booklet with six complete maps and 72 views 

 illustrative of this wonderful island, sent postpaid on receipt of 3 cents in stamps.

A Lubricant for 

 Warm Weather 

 and Hot Bearings 



Dixon's Flake Graphite is absolutely unaffected at any 

 lubricating temperature. It perfects the microscopically 

 rough surfaces of bearings and journals by forming over 

 them a thin, tough veneer like coating of graphite. Posit- 

 ively prevents hot boxes. Materially reduces amount of 

 oil needed.

NEW CHURCH IN CAMAGUEY 



To the munificence of Senorita Dolores 

 de Betancourt y Agramonte is due Camaguey 

 city's possession of a new and beautiful 

 church. It forms a part of the }n.storic 

 Escuelas Pias de Camaguey. 



The new building is in the pure Gothic 

 style, and the architect is Don Agusto Font 

 y Carrera, author of the jilan of the new 

 fachada for the cathedral in Barcelona, 

 Spain. 



PLENTY OF SWEET POTATOEiS 



Geo. D. Roberts, of Santa Rosalia, Isle of 

 Pines, has solved the problem of keeping a 

 permanent supply of sweet potatoes. As fast 

 as he digs his crop he plants a new one, which 

 means that he digs potatoes every week in the 

 year and plants a few more every week. By 

 this method he always has a fresh supply of 

 potatoes on hand. — Isle of Pines News. 



COCOA YIELDS IN ECUADOR 



The product of each tree differs so widely, 

 the average being about 1 pound of beans to 

 each tree, although the yield of some is but 

 half that quantity, while the trees of one 

 hacienda average 4 pounds. The differences 

 are due to lack of proper attention to pruning 

 and cultivation of the soil, allowing plant 

 diseases to prevail. — Consular Report. 



The department of justice has reported 

 to the department of sanitation the great 

 necessity of arresting quack doctors, who are 

 found all over the island. 



Messrs. Miguel Artze and Julio Daubar 

 are authorized to build and exploit electric 

 plants at Cascajal, Santa Clara, and at
