CASE FROM PORTO RICO
Decided by the Supreme Court of tn,
 UmifGh SfnfeM

Decided by the Supreme Court of the Unitcd States.
 Washington, Jan. 2.-In an opinion in the case of serrales vs. Esbry, coming | from the Supreme Court of Porto Rico,
 the Supreme Court of the United States construed the effect of the provisions
 of the act of Congress of 1900 relative | to the exchange of money in provinces | there.
 In 1894 a citizen of Porto Rico named | Cartagena sold to Serrales a share in l a sugar plantation on that island for 1S.000 pesos to be said in instaliments and in money current in commerce or whatever coinage of money might be circulating in this province at the rate l of 100 cents of the current money for each peso"
 This contract was made while Porto Rico was Spanish territory and after the transfer of sovereignty to the United States. Serrales refused to make ] the payments remaining due on the basis of a dollar in American coin for
 a peso in Porto Rican coin.
 He took the position that as the l Spanish coin was worth only so cents, he should be required to pay only the l equivalent of the provincial money and
 not 100 cents for each peso. The Porto Rican Court held that the terms of the contract required the payment of l 100 cents in American money for each | peso called for in the Serrales notes. That decision was reversed.
 Justice PeckhaD., who announced the | judgment of the court, called attention | to the fact that in the. contract the | word 'centavo'' and not the word cents Is used. The centavo Is, he S id. a copper coin worth about six 1 tenths of a cent. The peso in circula- l ton at the time the contract was made,
 he stated, was not worth to exceed 50 cents.
 The court added, "There was no. con tract to pay in American money at the ! rate contended for. In providing for | the withdrawal of all coins in circula- l tion in Porto Rico Congress also pro- vided for fixing the equivalent between | those coins and American coins for the payment of all existing debts. This was simply fixing the value of those coins relatively to their value in Amer ican coin and with reference to the pay ! menCs of debts then existing. All money then unpaid on this mortgage obligation was an existing debt within
 the act and hence might be paid in
 American money at the rate of ex-
 change therein specified. The with drawal of the coins of Porto Rico in
 circulation at the time of the passage
 of the act of Congress and provided for therein did not take legal effect so far
 as concerned debts then existing, except
 upon the condition that those debts
 might be resolved in the coin of tho United States at the rate of exchange
 stated in the act did not impair or
 change the obligations of any. contract and was but an exercise of power to fix the value of the coins which were
 to be withdrawn and to state the rate
 of exchange at which existing debts
 might be paid in American money, and Al. at 'fa . \. other rate, the act was valid and ap- r1gad fo

T found vinol delicious to take. with out oil or grease; it did not upset my stomach like the old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsons. and its strengthen ing properties are truly remarkable. It entirely cured my stomach trouble, and I can eat heartily at any time of day or night without the slightest distress. vinoi tones up the stomach, increases the appetite and creates strength"
 what Vinol did for Councilman Franklin, our druggist, Mir. E. G. Fowl CT. of this city. guarantees it will do for every person in Montgomery suffering from a tired, overtaxed. or worn-out stomach which cannot properly digest food.
 Vinol contains no drugs. but 1t does contain all the vital principles of cod liver oil, without the system -clogging oil.
 We ask every person in Montgomery sufferinR from stomach troubles, or every rundown, weak. debilitated or aged person to try Vinoi on our guar antee to return money If 1t fails to give satisfaction. P. c. Fowler, Drug gist.
