good care of myself. I have attended
mass both Sundays since my arrival
here; it is very pretty church inside,
but little different from our own.
The people kneel right on the floor,
which is of tile. don't think the peo-
pie are as religiously inclined as in our
country, for they do not respect the
Sabbath but very little. Most all the
stores are wide open on Sunday.
There are good many poor here and
the government is issuing about 1000
rations daily. A Cuban told me the
other day that they would have starved
to death if we had not come.
Sunday before last was a big day here.

played with their hands, not using
