Situated sixty miles off the south coast of Cuba, the climate of 'the Island is ideal. The thermometer never goes below 40 nor above 90. Because of this< wonderful climate and the marvelous springs on it, the island, is fast being recognised as a place to cure rheumatism. At one, of the health resorts hot water flows from one spring, while* a few feet away ice cold water flows from an- other. By taking plunges In first the hot and then the cold the rhematlcs get great relief. Many have been cured entirely in two weeks. Amsrleans in Majority* The island, which Is forty-one miles long and-thirty miles wide, has very few natives, 6 per cent of the popula- tion being of native birth. The rest of the population Is mainly American. The fruits and products grown on the island are many. Mr. Theobold was Invited to attend a feast where forty-eight varieties of fruit were served. The water on the island cannot be equaled. One may drink four or five glasses of water at a' time and feel no ill effects. Carload after carload of the water Is shipped to Cuba every day. The towns on the isle are small, as nearly everyone lives oti a fruit farm. There are two weekly and one dally papers on the place; Two doctors, one American and the other a Cuban, look after the sick. . Mr. Theobold has forty acres of land on the island on which he has started a pineapple grove of '2,500 plants. He intends to start a citrus grove- in the near future. .
