the logical result Of ultimate acceptance

The chief medium Of exchange in the
Philippine islands is the Mexican silver
dollar (peso) Of AIS grains Of silver Of the
fneness Of 9O2-1OOO.
In 1897 the Spanish government issued a
distinctive Filipino peso, which has cir
culated side by side with the Mexican sill
yer dollar. The Filipino peso, containing
less pure silver than the Mexican dollar.
is still in circulation. but constitutes only
a small percentage Of the amount OF silver
in use in the island. The exchange value
Of the Mexican dollar fixed by the Philip
pine commission was formerly so cents. and
is now al the rate Of 1910 for 800 gold.
The coins in current circulation in the
Philippines are: Spanish Filipino silver
peso: Mexican dollar; Filipino silver half

Filipino silver half peseta, 10 cents; Fill
Pine copper cuartos and centavos. A GEN.

lar" has the same legal value as the Mexi-
can dollar in Hong Kong, the Straits set
Elements and Lauban. The sovereign is the
standard coin in India, but the rupee is
the money Of account. In Japan the gold
was adopted October 1, 1897. The
Netherlands form in the Dutch Indies
Java, etc., huctuated up to the year 1880,
when it became fixed at 4O.2 cents United
States coin. A local silver coin in use in
the Philippine islands and still familiar to
the people is the salapi broadly meaning
money! the Tagalog word for a $3.50 Span
ish coin.
The local names in trade for subdivisions
of the salapi are: Tatlong bahague, S0.37

dollar; sicapat, s0.12 Of Mexican dollar;
sicolo, $0.06 Of Mexican dollar. The unit
of the above Is the Spanish cuarto "copper"

so cuartos, form Of Mexican dollar. The
gold coins of the United States and the
States silver dollar have generally
passed current in the cities since the Amer
lean occupation, at the rate OF two local
dollars for one dollar OF the United States.
The paper currency OF the Philippines Is
now limited to the issues of the Spanish
bank, and American paper money.

DEAR Mrs. PNKHAM II wish to thank you for the benefit
your medicine has done me; l cannot speak too highly in praise of
it After my child was born l was left in a very bad condition. I
flowed three weeks out of the month l suffered for months, and
finally consulted three physicians. Two of them said l had a tumor.
and the third one said was going into consumption. was sick
and tired, and could not perform my household duties. Finally a friend
urged me to try Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Command.
ideally had no faith in it, although l had often heard of its wonderful
cures but the fact was l had no faith or interest in anything anv
more. finally decided to try it; after the first bottle | felt i'm.
mensey better, and after taking the sixth bottle l was entirely
cured, and felt like a new woman. I consider it woman's friend and
would never be without it in the house. o, what a lot of misery and

Better Pay for wardens.

This but illustrates the condition which
will prevail wherever men are placed in
of1cial positions where they do not receive
enough money to pay expenses. The Ne
braska law should be amended so that the
game warden and his assistants will re-
ceive salaries commensurate with the work
done. To do this the fees for all licenses
Issued to hunters should go into the fund
from which the officers are paid, and the
officers should be required to devote all
their time to the work and make reports
frequently as to conditions within the ter
ritory over which they have Jurisdiction. II
may be necessary to increase the cost OF
licenses In order to raise a fund large
enough to do the work, but this could be
done without putting a hardship upon any
one unable to bear 1t, and the fish and game
would then be protected.
"Sportsmen are wondering how much has
been received from the several counties of
the state through the operation Of the pres
ent law. There have been no reports pub
ltshed, and until this is known II will he
hard to arrange the matter Of licenses un-
der the plan contemplated by those who de-
sire to make the ONCE self-supporting."

The state game law is to come up for con-

II Is found that the present provisions for
enforcing the law and for the maintenance
OF a force OF game wardens are defective.
What we want to do" said one Of the
champions Of the change, is to make the
game warden's ONCE self-supporting. At
the present time the receipts from licenses
Issued to hunters go to the school fund.
They should go to a fund to pay the ex-
penses Of the department. 1t is known
that in more than one instance game war
dens have closed their eyes to infractions
Of the law and that one at least has per-
mitted SEEMING OF lakes within his jurisdic-
ton. This is because there is not enough
pay In the Office of warden to secure good
men and those who will take the places are
likely to go to sleep for a consideration.
This is not only true of Nebraska. but
Of all states where the game wardens de-
pend upon fines for their enumeration. In
Wyoming many Of the wardens have entered
into alliances With the law-breakers, and It
has been said by commission men in Omaha
that game wardens Of Wyoming have billed
game to them out OF season. One warden
recently invited an Omaha man to visit him
this summer and hunt elk, saying that he
had tied up several head OF these animals
in the hills where they could be secured
without dificulty.
