--Friends of Premier Laurier
are alarmed at the condition of his
health. He will go south for a
time. Sir Richard Cartwright will
be Acting Premier in his absence.
It is reported in some quarters that
Sir Wilfrid's health may cause his
resignation within a few months,
and that Mr. Fielding will be his
successor.
T -Electricity for hetiting and
cooking seems to be making more
headway than is generally supposed
in the United States. It is stated
upon good authority that there are
now in use in the United States
5,000 cooking dishes, 50,000 heat-
ing irons and 150,000 car heaters,
A. single hat factory in New Jersey
is at present using 250 horse -power
for electric heating apparatus alone,

-At the Whitney banquet in
London, on Friday last, Donald
Sutherland, . M. P. for South Ox-
ford, declared that Liberals "had
come to him with inducements to
go with them, and the day before
the election protest came to trial
the Grits came to him and assured
him there was a big thing in it for
him, financially, if he would do as
asked -go over to them." Mr.
Sutherland only hoped the trial
would come on again on Dec. 1, for
there are greater developments still
to take place. Men were coming
forward every day and furnishing
instances of attempts to bribe them.
It is no wonder honest Liberals are
asking "Whither hither are we drifting?"
-Mr. Jabal Robinson, M, P.,
says that every hour the Dominion
Parliament is in session costs the
country $1,000, besides the indem-
nity of the members. At this rate
some of the long-winded speeches
cost the country more than they
are worth. Mr. Robinson said re-
cently to his constituents : "If you
farmers who manage your township
affairs so economically, who watch
so carefully to see where every cent
goes, could see the waste at Ottawa
-could see how money is poured
out to an army of officials from the
$5,000 officer down to the smallest
page -if you saw all this, you
would not be able to sleep at night.
And yet members of Parliament
will wrangle by the hour over a
25 cent item on the purchase of
some turnips, or over a fool propo-
sal to spend $100,000 on an expedi-
tion to the North Pole."
ESPECIALLY --in Ladies' Corsets, Gloves and Silks;
ends of new Tamoline Silks have been forwarded to us in
Cream, White, Old Rose, Cardinal and Black, nice for Waists
or Trimming, at 40e, worth 75c.
ESPECIALLY ALSO --in Boys' Suits and Overcoats,
Men's 'Meters, ]dress Overcoats, etc.
MORE ESPECIALLY -This big sale will save you
lots of cash; give us a calf look through and, price.

them ; 100 new Corsets just opened at Bankrupt prices.

-The editor of "Toronto Satur-
day Night," who is strong Liberal,
says of Mr. Prefontaine's elevation
to the Laurier cabinet : "Hon. Mr.
Prefontaine is known to be a swift
man, but is said to be a somewhat
tricky one. It cannot be doubted
that Sir Wilfrid was wise in his
choice if what he desired was a
politician, not a statesman. It is
difficult, however, to predict the
future of any Cabinet made up sim-
ply of politicians with the ignoring
of that higher class of administra-
tive ability which the people desire
to see at the head of affairs. The
country may be very smartly run,
the Ministers may be able to make
clever apologies for what seems to
the onlooker either crooked or
clumsy performances. There may
be a warmer clasp of the hand and
more jollying of good fellows when
they go to Ottawa, but the sick
feeling at the heart of those who
long for the best things possible
cannot be removed by the joyous-
ness of a Ministerial reception."
RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
TUE WINGUAM ADVANCE.
when the owner has nothing to
send through the post ; then, if the
carrier has nothing to leave in the
box, he will drive on without call-
ing. Iu order to further facilitate
business, the mail man is supplied
with stamped envelopes and money
orders, which he sells to those who
ask for them.
The new system, has, of course,
involved enorinous expense. The
Postmaster -General will, it is an-
uounced, ask for $12,000,000 next
year for carrying it on. But with
this increase iu outlay there has
been an increase in revenue as well
and the greater part of the increase
in receipts is due to the advanced
policy adopted. In sections where
free rural delivery has not yet been
inaugurated, the postal revenue
showed an increase in one year of
3• per cent., while in the sections
covered by the free delivery there
was an average addition of 11 per
cent. to the revenue. One post -
office in Michigan actually shows,
as a result of the adoption of the
farm delivery system, an increase
in one year of 175 per cent. in the
number of pieces of mail delivered,
and 56 per cent. in the number col-
lected for delivery. Besides this,
the saving effected by discontinuing
minor post -offices, and old postal
routes between offices, amounted to
one-sixth of the cost of delivery,
Moreover, while the public ex-
penditure on the service exceeds
the revenue derived therefrom, the
private advantage to citizens as in-
dividuals far more than offsets the
added cost to the public as a whole.
Speaking on this view of the ease,
the Postmaster -General, in his offi-
cial report, says that under the old
system a representative from each
of the 125 families on a postal ronte
travelled from two to four miles in
going to the post -office. The time
so occupied is valued at 10 cents
per day for each family, or $12.50
for the whole. On the other hand,
the Government can perform the
same service, through one officer,
for $2 per day. With nearly six
million families served, the aggre-
gate saving is enormous, and the
claim for the extension of the ser-
vice becomes, as the Postmaster -
General says, irresistible.
Other advantages the Advance
maybriefly note as follows :-
It means better roads.
Weather prediction signs will be
attached to delivery waggons.
It has added from $2 to $3 per
acre to the value of farm lands -so
the farmers report.
The system was the result of the
farmers' united effort through the
Grange.
Masters of State Granges speak
in the highest terms of the value of
the service.
What is of so much benefit to
United States farmers ought not to
be a bad thing for Canadians.
The Weekly Sun has frequently
called attention to the convenience
of the rural mail delivery system
of the United States. Such a, sys-
tem in Canada would be a boon to
farmers, and its success in the
United States is evidence of its
practicability here. From the U.
S. Postmaster -General's report
much information is gleaned, some
of which we give herewith :
Over 8,000 carriers were engaged,
at the close of last year, in carry-
ing United States mail to the doors
of farmers, and the number of peo-
ple benefited by the service was
nearly five and three-quarter mill-
ions. This development had prac-
tically all occurred in three years.
Ent this is only the beginning. In-
side of four years from the date of
the report (three years from now)
it is expected, at the present 'rate
of progress, that a million square
miles of territory, with a popula-
tion of 21,000,000 people, will be
reached by the service.
How is the system waked? A
carrier ie employed for each route.
This carrier is required to provide
a horse and a. rig suitable for all
weathers. He is paid $000 ayear,
and delivers the mail daily, Sun-
days alone excepted. Ile covers 20
to 25 miles per day, and serves, on
the average, 125 families. The
farmers served have locked boxes,
practically in their own yards, in
which the driver places the mail
intended for the farmer, and takes
from the same place whatever has
been deposited there for mailing.
The bot is so placed that the car-
rier cart reach it without getting
out of his rig. In order to save
time, it is proposed to have a little
metallic flag to holst on the bole
The Penalty of a Fast Life.

of body and mind, by exhausted energy,
poor digestion, unstrung nerves and
broken sleep. If you must and will live
the killing pace, better keep in mind the
sustaining powers of Ferrozone, a
wonderful tonic and reconstructor.
Ferrozone is a blood maker, a nerve
strengthener, a heart and brain in-
vigorator. It' creates appetite, insures
perfect digestion and undisturbed sleep,
restores the vitality and strength lost by
excessive living very quickly. Fer-
rozone will do you inestimable good, try
