HAVANA 



The United Railways of Havana 



in conjunction with the Cuba Railroad, maintain a service of 

 two trains daily between Havana and the growing Eastern 

 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.

Saves Money 



Dixon's Axle Grease lasts from three to five times longer 

 than any other because of the durability of its basic ingre- 

 dient, flake graphite. Sives over two-thirds of time in 

 application. Will not drip in warmest weather. Always 

 cleanly. Does not catch dirt or dust. Compare it with 

 others and know how much less it costs.

ENORMOUS SUGAR PURCHASES 



Great Britain has taken charge of the food 

 problem for the United Kingdom through 

 the appointment of a food commission which 

 will handle all purchases of wheat, sugar, etc. 



This fact became known in New York 

 September 4th, when the purchase of raw cane 

 siigar for future deliverv, amounting in value 

 to nearly $10,000,000, was effected through 

 local houses, when a very large order of re- 

 fined sugar aws executed and announcement 

 was made that contracts have been executed 

 for a large part of Cuba's next year's sugar 

 crop. 



Sugar men in Xew York City said England 

 will have no difficulty in buying what she 

 wants of the sugar crop. The commission 

 is not deterred by the fact that higher prices 

 prevail.
