THE .WINGHAM ADVANCE
04j�1 1.4 1.
WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN, WHERE
nearly one, hundred miles of Concrete
Roads have been built in the past six years,
during which time nearly every method of
road construction has been tested, now comes
out flat-footed and adopts concrete as the road
standard. '
The story is best told in the following para-
graph which has been taken from the latest
report of the Board of County Road Com-
missioners of Wayne County, Michigan.
"With the completion of Plymouth Road,
we have abandoned every other form of con
struction and have adopted concrete as our
standard. We feel that our experience of the
past six years warrants us in arriving at this
determination, based on its general satisfactor-
iness and its annual cost as compared with other forms of
construction. In addition to the economy in hauling, the
pleasure in driving and touring, and the increase in land
valuation, the concrete roads of Wayne County have been
the means of bringing tens of thousands of dollars to
this locality".
Concrete roads will benefit any locality proportionately as
they have benefited Wayne County, Michigan,
The fullest detailed information about concrete roads will
be sent to anyone interested, without cost or obligation.

The reproducing point of
the new Edison Cylinder
Phonograph is a diamond
It was appropriate that when Mr. Edison was
seeking the utmost perfection in sound repro-
duction he should find that this power lay in
the diamond. He discovered it in the course of
more than 2,500 experi-
ments, always looking toward
rarer sweetness, mellower,
stronger tone.
He has equipped every
new Edison Phonograph with
a diamond -point reproducer.
When this marvelously impervious tip rests upon
the surface of the unbreakable Blue Amberol
Record, the heavier pressure can produce but
one result -wonderfully increased volume com-
bined with rarer sweetness. Hear a Blue Amberol
at your Edison dealer's today.

The Men Who Are Uovernirg
Canada.
nos. L. P. Pelletier, Postmaster
General,
Every important reform. in the
national machinery of the country's
business has ire beginning in the mind.
of one man eager and de,.irou+ for t he
welfare of the people, and the inaug-
uration of Parcels Post to one such
strikingezomple. Hon. Louis Phillipe,
Pelletier, Postmaster General in the
Borden. Cabinet, has instituted Parcels
Post, not because be was forced by
public opinion but by reasc n of a strong
desire to assist the people, Parcels
Post is the best piece of voluntary
legislation that the Post Office Depart-
ment has organized since Confed-
eration.
L. P. Pelletier, father of Parcels
Poet, is the loader of the French
Canadian Section of the Conservative
Party in the House of Commons, and
he is following in illustrious footsteps.
There always have been, in every
cabinet since Confederation, strong
men from Quebec, to whom the busi-
ness of government was a science,
and the art of politics a delight. And
the Borden Cabinet is no exception to
the rule. Hon. Mr. Pelletier has built
up a reputation in the House and out
of it, which has secured for him the
admiration alike of friend and foe.
This reputation ia•being enhanced, not
by fitful spasms of meteoric legisla-
tion, but by the dint of solid hard
application to business.
The Postmaster General is a pictures-
que personality. He is a Prince Ru-
bert in debate, riding into conflict
with sword drawn and meeting his
enemy with clash and clang. Pelletier
never takes back water, never recedes
from a position, but is fearless and fair.
A Quebec day in the House of Com-
mons is a signal for a crowded cham-
her, and means that the Postmaster
General is meeting his natural foe,
the ex -Postmaster General, in wordy
warfare. Hon, Rodolphe Lemieux,
ex -Postmaster General, is a much dis-
appointed man. After year of jeal-
ousies and bickerings with his con-
freres from Quebec Province, he be-
came leader of the French-Canadian
race in the Laurier Cabinet. Then he
saw visions of a knighthood as a •re•'
ward for his diplomatic missions to
Japan and South Africa. But on Sept.
21, 1911, his upward march was rudely
broken and interrupted,- Premier
Borden was returned to power, and a
new Postmaster General and a new
French Canadian leader came with
him. To the Opposition benches Hon.
Rodolphe was relegated, shorn of
power and patronage, and he did not
like it. He did not know the new
Postmaster General very well, and at
first began to bully him and taunt him,
until he learned of his mistake. Pel-
letier was his master. la effectiveness
of retort, sallies of wit and' stinging
repartee, the new Postmaster General
outshone liis predessor. The members
of the I:House of Commons look for-
ward to a contest between Hon. Louis
Philippi and Hon. Rodolphe because it
is more than interesting -it is stren-
uous.
The Borden Cabinet is composed of
hard workers -men who are earning
the gratitude of the country by devo-
tionto duty. , The members of the
present Cabinet are practical men.
Lase summer Hon. Frank Cochrane
made a special ttip to the Hudson's
Bay. Hon. J. D. Hazen visited at first
hand the flnheries of the Dominion,
ants Hon. L P. Pelletier the post -offices
from Eest to West. The result of the
Postmaster General's work is evident
everywhere. The post office system
never was better organized, and never
were postmasters from coast to coast
in a more contented frame of mind.
While tha regime of Hon. L. P. Pel-
letier will be most intimately associat-
ed with the establishment of the Par-
cels Post system, the work of the Post-
master General in securing a reduction
in cable rates between Canada and the
Mother Country will be remembered.
Nothing tends more surely to increase
business and social relations than a
faciliated cable service, and the great
reductions secured by Hon. Mr, Pel -
h -tier in 1912 have fulfilled their ol•ject.
When the history of the negotiations
in England between Canada's Post.
master General and the representa-
tives of the -powerful cable companies
comes to be written it will 'be found
that the dexterity, the skill, the Inti
cal and persuasive powers of the , mi
nent French Canadian triumphed, as
t hey did in his recent negotiat lone wit h
the railway companies over the Par-
cels Post.
Pelletier can well be called a watch-
dog for the people. Excepting the
Customs Department, there is no part
of the machine of the country's busi
nese where officials need to exercise
more Care in seeing that all the re (leis -
he revenues are collected. Toe aim of
the Postmaster General, and it runs
right through to the humblest letter
carrier is efficiency and good service,.
Recently, as an earnest of his dewire
ti promote the intetests of the em-
ployees, an increase of salaries was
made to 'rural postmastere. Pelletier
takes an interest in those in the de-
partment, believing that well paid
and contented employees make for
good results in work,
In the Iletree of Comniotui and out
of the House of Comtnona, elon, Mr.
Pelletier has clone well, As a debater,
he is pointed, effective and reasonable.
In hts department he is all business.
No detail eeoapee his attention, and be
quickly niaetered the intricacies c f the
poet office eysteni,
When Mr. Pelletier entered the
Cabinet there were tnanj' prejudices
it hire, wtrtked up by the Liberal
eyed through to Ontario, and the other
Eugiish provinces, and remained there
for some time. Stroh mistakes always
do (teeter in the lives of most politicians
13ut these prejudices have been con-
quered, and Peiletier's personality Lute
been the victorious factor.
An eloquent illustration occured on
the occasion, of the Massey Hall, To-
ronto, dinner to Premier Bot den, after
hie fatuous 1911 victory, Mr. Merit r
represented Quebec Province, at d
when be rose to speak there were few
cheers, because he was unknown, t•t d
because, perhaps, he bad been libelled
by the newspapers. But he bad not .
spoken for five minutes ere the huge
building resounded to enthusiastic ap-
plause. The well' knit frame of the
fighting Frenchman faced his audience,
and in excellent English the Postmas-
ter General lampooned his enemies
with book and verse. The Toronto
audience loves e. warrior, and it rose
to the orator and re-echoed with hearty
applause his sentiments, and the crowd
was won over,
Pelletier ie a young man in his fifty-
seventh year. As a law student he
was distinguished, and as a lawyer he
is one of the most brilliant in hie pro-
vince. His straight figure is evidence
of his military career ds an officer in
the Ur. Voltiguers of Quebec.
Pelletier is the real stuff out of
which Etatesnien are made, He has
courage and daring, coupled with an
almost Scotch caution, and the high
place he now occupies in the councils
of his native country has been the
prize for merit and good service to the
people.
A BETTER REMEDY
THAN NASTY SALTS
Few people like to take physic, es-
pecially salts, because they are so
disagreeable to take and because of
the griping and pains they cause.
Resail Orderlies enable you to take
less physic, and all without griping,'
purging or excessive looseness. Salte
and harsh physics usually give only
temporary relief and ' often leave the
bowels worse off than before.
Rexall Orderlies move the bowels
promptly, and soothe, tone and stren-
then the intestinal muscles, leaving
them healthy and regular in action.
They taste like candy, and the move-
ment they cause is as easy and natural
as though your bowels were in perfect
health and you neverhad to take any
physic at all. We have so much faith
in Resell Orderlies that we urge you
to try them with the understanding
that, if they do not satisfy you in
every way, all you have to do to get
your money back is to tell us. We
honestly believe them to be the best
bowel remedy made. In vest pocket
tin boxes ; 10c, 25c. 50c,
You can buy Rexall Orderlies only
at The Resell Scorer, and in this town
only of u', J. W. McKibben, di uggis',.

DELICATE CHILDREN
A, Mother's Letter to Mothers.
Mrs. E. W. Cooper of Bloomfield,
N. J., says: "My child, seven years
old, had a bad cold and was weak
and quite run down in health. She
had been in this condition for about
six weeks when I began giving her
Vinol. It was a wonderful help to the
child, breaking up her cold quickly
and building up her strength beside.
I have also found Vinol a most excel-
lent tonic for keeping up the chit•
dren's strength during a siege of
'whooping cough."
Vinol is a wonderful combination
of two world -famed tonics -the medi-
cinal body building elements of cod
liver oil and iron for the blood, there-
fore it is a perfectly safe medicine
for children, because it is not a
patent medicine, everything in it le
printed on every package, so mothers
may know what they ate giving their
little ones.
Therefore we ask every mother of
a weak, sickly or ailing child In this
vicinity to try Vinol on our guarantee.
