ORGANZt Two Tears' Experiment Indicates the Plan Is Successful. The only postal savings bank s.rs teru in operation under the American flag Is that lu the rbillpplnes, where, arter 'two years, of experiment, the Institution, Iws been declared a great success. In the report, of the Philip pine commission, Just published, the Postal savings bank la discussed brief ly, in part as follows: : "The postal savings bank was first opened in 'Manila on Oct. 1, lflCtl. The law provides for three classes, with limitations as to the amounts that can be received at any one time In each class. .Following the opening of the Manila office, other postal sav ings bank offices were opened In vari ous cities, of different classes, until at the close of the year 233 had beeu opened, of which 9 were first, 86 were second and 140 were third clasB. - Filipinos Adoptla Byatem. . At nrst the Filipino did not any great extent avail themselves to of the opportunity of depositing a portion of their receipts la the postal savings bank.anda great bulk of the depositors were Americans and of other, nation amies. As the advantage of this sys tem nave been disseminated through means of schools, government bureaus, private agencies and others, the pro portion of Filipinos Is continually in creasing, and gives very good promise w -" i iiiptuoa wii leurn to trust their money to the care of the govera tneut, and welcome the opportunity,. "The accounts opened up to the close of the fiscal year numbered 2.C70,, of which 847 were closed, leav ing . 2,320 still open. The deposits reached the total sum of 780,301.03 pe sosan average- of 108.21 pesos. Vltn drawnls reached the total amount of 2S0.4M.21 pesos, leaving a net deposit of 5G!M0:i.;si pesos at the end of tlu fiscal year or the first nine months of tlio operation of the postal savings bank but by no means the first nine months of operation of the average number of olllces, the smaller ones having been opened from time to time during the year, so that many had not been opened more than a month or two at the time these figures were taken. ' Encouraging Small Accounts. "The device of issuing postal sav ings bank stumps has met with some response. The stamps are simply a method by, which small amounts can be deposited without the expense of Issuing a book, figuring Interest, and opening An account. "On the whole, the reception accord r1 the postal savings bank has been gratifying, and gives good promise. The investment of the funds Is In the bands of a postal savings bnuk invest ment board, which carries a certain amount; of the funds on deposit, and has limited power of investment The law provides that 25 per cent of the money held on deposit may be loaned on first-class real estate, under limita tions carefully drawn to protect the depositors, aud 10 per cent on agricul tural loads under still more rigid liuil tatlons." , AS E00SEVELT SEES BRYAN. "You say that you have advc cated more radical measures against private monopolies than cither I or my party 'associates have been willing to undertake. You have, Indeed, advocated measures that sound more radi cal, but they have the prime de fect that In practice they would not work. I should not lu this letter to you discuss your atti tude on this question If you did1 not yourself bring It up. but as yon bave brought it up, I answer you that In uiy judgment the measures you advocate would be wholly Ineffective In curing a single evil, and so far as they bad uny effect at all, would mere ly throw the entire business of the country Into hojieless a I'd ut ter confUHlon. I put Mr. Taft's deeds aeulnnt your words. I ask '. that you b Judged both by the words you wish remembered, and by the words that seemingly yon and your party now denlre to bave forgotten. . . .1 hold It entirely natural for any great law-defying corporation to wih to see you placed In too Presi dency rather than Mr. Ta'r. Year plans to put a stop to the abuses of tbee corporations art wholly chimerical. Theodore Roose velt" If It Is true tbat Roosevelt Is going to take to the stump urynu win navt to lk to tar woods.

Congestions, strains and displace menu are the basis of most of the sickness that afflicts womankind, the real first causes of disease. Every function of the human machine Is de pendent upon lta appropriate structure or organs. So disturbances ofvfunetl (disease) are due to abnormalities In structure, to mechanical faults in the anatomy. This is the osteopathic view of disease, developed by long study and the examination of countless cases, and It Is now fully established that congestions, strains and displacements are productive of more suffering than any other set of causes.
