Some wise man has said—"My son, get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get under - `standing." The wise man to -day says—"Get a New Snit or Over- coat, and when you are getting, get it made to your order, in your own town. where you know what you aro getting, and that it is genuine Tailor-made." That would be wisdom; that would be'un- derstanding. Our NEW SPRING GOODS have arrived, and it is not exaggerating to say that they include the nicest lines we have had for some time, and at prices corresponding with the qualities shown. Space will not allow ns to go into detail but WE HAVE THE -GOODS and can make.them any style desired. We -are dealing in strong statements, but will back them up. We have yet to find the style of garments we cannot duplicate, Although plain, neat styles are more in line with strictly high.olass tailoring this season, it is for you to name your style—WE WILL MAKE IT. OUR FURNISHING DEPARTMENT is filled with the newest and best for Spring and Summer in all lines. We have also added a first-class line of Jewelry. Robt. Maxwell L Tailor and Furnisher For hien Who Caro .i HELPING „YOUNG MEN LEAP- TNG HOME. Thousands of young men in our snail towns and rural communities. leave the old home yearly. To a great many oases it necessary, and in others they are simply attracted by the allurements of the city or the Great North West, Some go with a definite object in view while others go because they think ""Far off Nelde look green." In any ease the young man leaving home for the first time enters a crucial period in his life and has need of help or some one that can give him an opportunity to help himself, The Provincial Committee of the Young Men's Christian .Association, through the Corresponding Member, toes this: very thing. We are trying to secure a young man in each community to not as Corresponding Member. He will give letters of introduction and forward to Provincial Committee all particulars regarding young men leaving home. En this way ,. the . young men are introduced to pastors (where no Young Men's Christian Association is organized) Association Secretaries, and companions that will elevate rather than pull down. The Young Men's Christian Associa- tion (in Canada there are 8f:" Associa- tions) has become a world wide or. aniz.ttion.,-•It has adapted itself to. the needs of men in every continent and in nearly every country. The aim of the Association is to surround young men with wholesome infinence; and lead them into the chrrstian life and to church member- ship, developing all their powers for chriatian living and service. It employs practical means and ap- peals to the spiritual, social, mental and physical desires and tastes. In modern Association buildings, which most of our cities have, evening educa- tional classes in the common and tech- nical branches, lectures and travel talks, debates and parliaments, and the discussion of timely themes, sup- plemented by reading rooms, refer- ence and circulating libraries, give abundant opportunity for self -culture ?and advancement to all young men, and especially those who have been deprived of an early education. Home -like social rooms and club -de- signed buildings encourage the natur- al expression of the social nature, and many lasting -and helpful friendships are formed. Well equipped gymnasiums, baths and swimming pools, with- outdoor athletics, aquatics and summer camps, furnish recreation, make for healtk and efficiency, and help young men and boys to rightly understand their .physical functions. Young men are assisted in finding suitable boarding houses and useful employment. M. J. M. Graham is the correspond- ing member for Wingham and vicini- ty. If you know of any young_tnan leaving for university, ctty, North- west or any other place, it would be for his interest if you would inform Mr. Graham at once. Head Office, Hamilton. r« v The greatdrawback to the average investment lies in the locking up of money, rendering it un- available when desired . . WAIVING for the moment the question of relative risk of loss, the desirability of keeping money on deposit in a Savings Bank (where it is at once obtaiable for any emergency) renders it most important that every business man, or any other man or woman, should, if at 'all possible, keep a substantial. sum on deposit in a separate Saving's Account. It is most unwise to lock up every dojlar in business or permanent' investments. To the same degree, it is wise to keep a ready cash surplus laid safely aside in a chartered Bank. A private savings account is carried by every prudent business man. THE BANK OF HAMILTON specially invites the open- ing of such accounts, both by its regular business clients, 4n4. also by those who transact their current banking elsewhere. 'Every iourtesy and convenience is extended to such cur. tomer-s, • BANK OF 0. P. SMITH, Agent Wingham 200 Bars Closed. Through the operation of many an- tagonistic influences, such as license reduction, local option, and the action of commissioners, on May tet 200 bars were closed in Ontario, and local option will go into force in 22 mini* oipalitles, With the exception of the years 1887 and 1888, when tbe Scott Act was in force, the low water -mark is reached in Ontario this year so far as the number of bare is concerned. Some id..@a of the decrease ;nay be gained when one considers that In 1875 there were 4,703 bars and 1,807 Iiquor chops, while after May lot there will be only about 1,800 bars and about 210 shops to cater to a vastly increased population. At that period there will be 331 municipalities' where the sale of liquor is illegal, and 473 in which licenses are granted. $fo,000 Bet On Oats. . The National Corn Exposition of- ficers in Omaha, have been notified by Colonel 13'. J. Bell, of Laramie, Wis., that be had made a wager with Western Canadian farmers that his Wyoming farm would produce more oats per acre than any land in West- ern Canada. The'wager is for $10,000 cash, and the National Cora Exposi- tion officials will judge the crops. Col. Bell has for years made' a special- ty of oats. At the head of the Cana- dians who are backing Alberta, is Pro- fessor W. F. Fairchild, of Lethbridge, Alberta. Col. Bell this week planted the fields on which. he pins his faith, while the Albertan fields will not be planted for two weeks. The contest, according to Col. Bell's offer is open to the entire world, and is not limited to Canada alone. Mr. George Cole A. Prominent Citizen of Kincar' dine, Ontario, Restored To Health. By Vinol. "Having for years suffered from catarrh and a cough, and being run- down owing to a severe attack of bronchitis, and after seeking relief in vain from several so-called remedies, I took three bottles of Vinol, which completely restored my usual vigor, 'entirely removed the mucous and cured the cough. "I consider Vinol the greatest and most beneficial remedy ever offered the public, and am glad to testify to its efficiency." George Cole, "The Pines," Kincardine, Ontario. This is because Vinol is a genuine tonin and body-builder which contains peptonate of iron together with every one of the body-building, medicinal elements of r,,od liver oil, but without ono drop of oil to upset the stomach and retard its work. Vinol acts di- rectly upon the stomach, creates a healthy appetite, and enables the di- gestive organs to obtain the necessary element:, from the food eaten to make rich, red blood, healthy flesh and muscle tissue and create strength. Your money back if Vinol fails to benefit. J. Walton ,McKibbon,. drug- gist,Wingham. _ .► Howick. Council met in Fordwich, April 21st; members all present.
