Cuban Craze for Lotteries.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
A task of no small magnitude which will
confront the American authorities in Cuba
will be the stamping out OF the lottery
mania that prevails to perhaps a greater
extent there than anywhere else in the
world. Ii was one of the bugbears of the
the Red Cross commission, and gentle
man connected with the relief work at
Matanzas told some amusing stories on the
subject during recent visit to this city
AT the outset" he said, I'VE gave good
deal of actual money to the starving re-
concentrates, who begged most piteously
for il on one pretext or another. But be-
fore long we learned that every copper
went for lottery tickets. The lottery was
an out-and-out skin, and after the war be-
gan il dropped all pretenses of fair deal
ing and boldly repudiated it's obligations.
Nevertheless, these wretched people per-
sisted I'm buying the worthless pasteboards.
and would make the most astonishing sac
rifices to that end. AS an Illustration. I
recall a reconcentrado who had family
of five people They were all literally
starving and we're living skeletons gave
the old man half dollar and told him to
get some meal Instead of doing so he inn
mediately invested the entire amount in
two fractional lottery tickets. AT that
time the whole family had had no food of
any kind for nearly forty-eight hours.
When 1 reproaehed him the old fellow
merely whined, but when l tried to tear
up the tickets he fought like a mad cat.
The lottery business was the only thing.
| think that in any way cooled Miss Bar
toms ardor for the Cubans. She has a sin
cere abhorrence for gambling In any form.
and When she found that every one OF her
pensioners was a full-blown lottery fend
She was profoundly shocked / could hard
~ help laughing What the poor Cubans
win do without their pet vice / don't know.
1t was the one thing that seemed to give
them stamina enough to keep alive"

Why Women Are Neryons.

The frequent cases of nervous prostra-
tion or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women ego all to
pieces" as the saying is. have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cause various forms of nerv-
GUS diseases which are readily traced
to the poisons producing them. Furth-
er research leads to the belief that
alum is a prevailing cause of so-called
nervous prostration, for the symptoms
it produces on the nervous system after
its absorption into the blood are very
remarkable indeed. Experiments phys
iologically made upon animals by
Orfila, Professors Hans Mayer, Paul
Seim and others, show that alum fre-
quently produces no visible symptoms
for many days after its introduction
into the body. Then follows loss of
appetite and other alimentary disturb
ances. and finally serious prostration
OF the whole nervous system. The
most prominent physicians now believe
that nervous prostration" and MANY
affections of the nerves from which
both men and women suffer are caused
by the continued absorption of alum
into the system.
1t is probable that many medical
men are unaware of the extent to
which salts of alumina may be intro
duced into the body, being under the
impression that the use of alum in
bread is prohibited. Alum, however,
is still used eptitiously to some ex-
tent to whiten bread, and very largely
in making cheap kinds of baking pow
der. In families where baking powder
is generally used great care should be
exercised to procure only those brands
made from cream of tartar. The alum
powders may be distinguished bv the
lower price at which they are sold

o'""e hh international Episode.
Honolulu, July 8. via Victoria, B.

here on the Fourth of July which
promises to be made an international
episode. Carl Klemme, the proprietor
of the Orpheum hotel, gaily decorated

ed the American flag over it, and under
the American flag the German flag.
Later friend of his wanted to use an
American flag, and Klemme good.
naturedly leaned him his, leaving the
German flag floating alone from the
flagstaff.
j. II. West saw it and ordered
klemme to haul it down. There has
been ill-will between the two men be-.
fore, and Klemme refused to take or.
ders from his enemy. West therefore
gathered lot of soldiers from the
transport Sheridan and showed them
the German flag floating on the Fourth
or July in American territory. The
soldiers at once proceeded to the roof
tore down the German flag and de-.
stroyed it and put in its place some
red, white and blue bunting torn from

The Aids to Success.

Philadelphia Record: The experi-
ence of the men who are succeeding in
commercial enterprises shows that
they take advantage of every available
resource to reach q given end. 1t Is
their business to be able to satisfy the
constantly developing needs of hui
manity. To accomplish this success
fully, and Of course profitably, they
must depend not only upon their indi-
vidual power, but also upon all the
subsidiary agencies which they may
deem necessary for their purpose.
Thus the successful merchant adds
the limitless influence of newspaper
advertising to his own aptitude for the
management Of his business, and by
this means becomes q great factor in
supplying the needs of the purchasing
public.
