No Lottery for Cuba.

President Palma of Cuba has nut his
fGCt down upon the scheme to establish
a Cuban national lottery. \ bill for
such an institution had been passed by
the Cuban Congress. but his veto
prevents it from becoming a law.
This act shows not only the high
character Of Cuba's president. but like
wise demonstrates his common sense
and practical craftsmanship. The
finances of the Cuban republic are not
by any means in such desperate straits
that they need to be bolstered up by Il
lottery scheme. as was proposed, and
any government which goes into such
scheme shows so little self-respect
that it stands debased before the
world Such lottery is not a new
idea, but it has never been attempted
with good results by any government.
1t is Il form of public dishonesty. which
can only have a demoraliZing influence
upon the masses of the people. Such
Greater. and financial corruption would
inevitably result.
In this instance. as in many of his
public actions, results are seen of
President Palma's long residence in
the United States. and We feel con-
fident that. although his veto may
cause Il little feeling among L certain
class. it will ultimately be everywhere
recognized as for the best interests of
the new republic. No doubt he had in
mird the workings of the Louisiana
lottery. which was for many years Il
state institution which came to have
vicious influence in all public matters
of one of the most important states Of
the South, until at last the people were
aroused in rebellion against it. and
with the help of the national govern
ment cast out the curse from their
midst.

Winter Colds and Coughs.

Boston physicians and the hospital
authorities have noted a marked m
crease in pneumonia during and fol-
lowing the recent extremely cold spell
of weather The matter is discussed IN
the Boston Advertiser. and while the
medical authorities admit the increase
referred to, they do not by any means
ascribe it to the low temperature 1t
self. Because colds and throat and
lung troubles are more numerous in
winter than in summer, the common
run Of people naturally ascribe them
to the cold weather itself, but the Bos-
ton physicians point out the error of
this belief. They declare that cold air
in itself is not the cause of coughs and
colds, and in no sense d curse to man.
though they are exposed to the lowest
temperature Of out Of doors. for long
tins of pneumonia or even be af-
flictcd with colds. AS a matter of fact
the most common victims are people
who go out doors but little, and who
spend their days and nights in stuffy
rooms where the temperature is high
and the air impure.
Any physician will advise the thor
ough airing OF the house as much in
winter as ia summer. The cold air has
its health giving properties, and does
not affect the human system, except in
a beneficial way. While the warm air.
which has been breathed over and over,
and exhausted of its ozone, is the main
agency which causes the much dreaded
coughs ana colds, and keeps the physi-
clans busy through the winter months.
If people only realized the dangers of
shutting themselves up in rooms from
which all the fresh air is excluded. the
ravages of pneumonia would be little
for consumption, with the patients
sleeping out of doors in the coolest
winter weather, has demonstrated that
cold air in itself does not injure the
lungs. The matter of pure air for our
sleeping rooms, and warm clothing
when out of doors, and dry feet at all
times are things on which the opinion of
medical authorities is not needed. They
are matters of common sense, and are
