Following is a discussion on
health as outlined in the "Wel-
come to Key West" folder receiv-
ed at the Chamber of Commerce
and written by Secretary S. c.
Singleton of the chamber:
HEALTH
The Suns Rays Are Purer!
After all, health is the most i'm
portant thing to all of us. We
need it for fishing, golfing or
enjoying a good restaurant.
The stories of the relief obtain
cd by sufferers from arthritis,
sinus trouble, hay fever and most
Of the bedevilments of rheuma-
tism, are like the best of our fish
stories-so good that we would
rather have you come and sec. for
yourselves. than to risk our repu-
tations by,trying to make you. be-
licve them.
Of course, there is a reason.
Divested of scientific, terminQlo-
gy, it is the same reason that
makes it advisable for you to get
your sunburn in lnstallments and
not all in one down payment.
The suns rays are Purer. ~
Here, distant oyer miles Of salt
water from the SOURCES Of fog,

fog during the yeaO, smoke, poll
len and germ-laden dust, the sun

far less filtered than they. are
likely to be on the mainland.
At any rate, many people who
thought they were all through, do
get better here,
Above Reproach
The winter weather is above
reproach. The rainy season comes
in the summer and early Fall.
From October to June, is the dry
season. Total rainfall for 1910,

The prevailing winds are east
crly, with short time changes to
other points of the compass.

Ferry, Line. Between akGyt
Vest And Havana To- Be-:
In Operation Shortly
Tentative Date Set For
Inauguration Of Serv-
ice Is Between Apr. l
And June 80

Ocean ferries will be operated
between here and Havana some
time between April l and June
30, according to information the
Key West Chamber of Com
merce received today from the
Gulf = Atlantic Transportation
company, of jacksonville, which
is behind the project.
In a letter to Manager Step
hen Cochrane Singleton of the
Chamber of Commerce, a COM
pany official said that the
ferries will be plying between
here and Havana sometime in
the second quarter of 1916"
Mr.. Singleton today wrote to
II. G.. Williams, president of the
company, to explain to him that
due to a radio announcement
made by Walter Winchell, peo-
pie throughout the country are
under. the impression that the
ferries already are in operation.
MIR. Singleton explained to Mr..
Williams that, because of that
premature announcement, the
Key West Chamber of Com
merce has received many letters
asking various questions about
the operation of the ferries. Mr..
Singleton concluded his letter
with:
My mail this morning is
about two thirds like the en-
closed letter, which of course,
are duly. answered" ."'
The letters in question were
about the ferry system. "
Latest information to be re-
eeived in Key West about the
ferries is that one Of them has
been completed and another is
nearing completion. The COM
pany, several months ago, said
that, as business warrants, more
ships VIII be built.
II has been estimated that the
trips between Key West and
Havana will require six hours.
Each ferry is 400 feet long and
viii be capable of carrying 200
automobiles.
Just where the ferries will
berth in Key West has not yet
been determined. but it is
thought that either the old P.
& 0. wharf at the foot of Duval
street or the Clyde Mallory
wharf will be used.

ed, has approached the strike
questions in the proper spirit,
and he tspoke about General
