When Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious, kidney and microbe poisons at the same time this salve exerts its matchless healing power. Blood dis eases, skin eruptions, ulcers and sores van ish.

There was a distinct cleavage between whites, mulatoes and blacks. Social solidarity was wanting. The colony was in a most degraded condition. Political agitators spent large sums of public, money The victors seized the spoils by right. The greater part of the public revenues were spent in salaries and public work was neglect ed. Socialism was largely to blame for many of the evils in- the island. It stirred up discontent among the blacks to gain their votes. It was aggres sive, destructive and dangerous. It at tacked and endeavored to destroy the sogtx iutatesfev The colony under these circumstances was going to the had. The white population was gradually leaving the island and there was every prospect of bloody racial encounters when the eruption took place. Now all is forgotten. The exodus proceeds at such a rate as warants?the statement that few whites will be left to take part in race troubles, while the disaster has so sobered the blacks that they will re main quiet for an indefinite period. The Socialists are likely to give the island a wide berth in the future. Saved From an Awful Fate. "Everybody said I had consumption," writes Mrs. A. M. Shields, of Chambers burg, Pa.

Mr. Terrell's opponents were Dupont Guerry and J. H. Estill, of the Savannah Morning News. Spring Fever. Spring fever is another name for bilious ness. It is more serious than most people think. A torpid liver and inactive bowels mean a poisoned system. If neglected, serious illness may follow such symptoms.

An administration bill for the estab lishment of a postal currency has been drafted by the commission appointed to consider the question. The bill authorizes the Postmaster General to be caused to be issued under, such reg ulatins as he may f iom time ;o time prescribe, postal checks of fixed de nominai ons, not above one dollar, even in multiples of five and ten cents. These are to be redeemable or payable at any money order postoffice. A fee in addition to the face value will be charged for every check issued, one half of which fee may be allowed as compensation for services rendered in the issue or sale of such checks. It is provided, however, that to incrrease the amount of any postal check adh?s if poateg% BtetT?-ps T??y te> the face thereof, net exceeding nine cents, which stamps shall be left un canceled until the checks shall be finally redeemed. These postal checks will not be ne gotiable nor payable after the expira tion of three calendar months from the last day of the month which may be written or stamped thereon, but a duplicate may be issued any time thereafter by the Postoffice De partment without charge. Duplicates will be similarly valid for three months- After the postal check is once paid the United States shall not be liable for any further claim for its payment. All statutory provision relating to money orders, as far as ap plicable and consistent, are to apply to these checks, and the expenditures will be met in the same manner as in present money order offices. The pos tal checks are to be of uniform size and shape, bound in books, and will be sold wherever the regular stamps are sold, I*est:*. ra:?? Ccoics* Fees.
