We are so positive that our remedy will permanently relieve constipation, nq matter how chronic it may he, that we offer to furnish the n.ed'cine at our expense should it fail to produce satisfactory results. It is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathartie drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much harm. They cause a reaction, irritate, and weaken the bowels and tend to make constipation more chronic. Besides, their use becomes a habit that is dangerous. Constipation is caused by a weak - nese of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon. To expect permanent relief you must therefore tone up and strengthen these organs and restore them to healthier activity. We want you to try Itexall Order- lies on our recommendation. They are exceedingly pleasant to take, being eaten like candy, and are ideal for children, delicate persons, and old folks, as well as for the robust. They act directly on the nerves and mus- cles of the bowels. They, apparently have a neutral action on other as- sociate organs or glade. They do not purge, cause excessive looseness, nor create any inconvenience what- ever. They may be taken at any time, day or night. They will posi- tively relieve chronic or habitual con- stipation, if not of surgical variety, and the myriads of associate or de- pendent chronic ailments, if taken with regularity for a reasonable length of time. 12 tablete, l0c ; 80 tablets, 250 ; 80 tablets, 50e.

Reim iinttatiottot SIA JAMES WHITNEY TO THE ELECTORS What the Government Nas Done Since Entrusted to lower A MINISTER Of POWER .16 11.0•110,11mMirkillia The Hydro -Electric Commissian to De Superseded by a New cobinet Minister Sir James Whitney, Prime Minister o't Ontario, in announcing that the date of the elections would be December llth, issued the following statement to the Electors of the Province: Gentlemen; Nearly seven years have elapsed since you entrusted the government of the province to my colleagues and myself, and in June, 1908, you signified, by an overwhelm- ing majority, your approval of the re- cord we had made up to that time. Shortly stated, eve had, in a little more than three years: Abolished the numbered ballot. Taken the first step towards the creation of agricultural schools by ap- pointing district representatives in agriculture, and largely increased the expenditure for agricultural purposes. Reconstructed the administration and financial resources ot the provin- cial university. Revised' the mining laws and taken a cabinet minister from New Ontario. Restored the old law relating to county councils. Imposed taxation upon the rail- ways, one-half of which goes to the municipalities. Put an end to the granting of subsi- dies to railways. -- Created a railway and mufcipal board. Reduced the price of school books by one-half and destroyed the school book ring. Revised the public school system, created a consultative council, to which the 'teachers elect representa- tives, and provided for large grants in aid of payment of teachers' salaries. Honestly and successfully enforced the Liquor License Law. Extended the government railway. Brought the Hydro -Electric scheme forward and in sight of completion. Increased the expenditure for the construction of colonization roads and encouraged' the development of Now Ontario. Put the provincial finances on a sound and stable footing, doubled the provincial revenue, and put upon the statute book a large amount of impor- tant and constructive legislation. Education and Agriculture. Since then we have gone on endea- voring to discharge oud duties with an eye solely to the best interests of the people, and, among tiie results of our policy and our administration of the finances of the province are the following: The amount payable towards the salaries of teachers in public schools has been increased until this year sttch -aid will amount to about $476,000. We have devised a system for indus- trial (raining in urban schools lib- erally aided by money grants. A course in agriculture for public school teachers has been established in the Agricultural College at Guelph. The amount to be paid to the Univer- sity of Toronto this year will reach to about the sum of $488,000. The amount appropriated this year for the construction of colonization roade is $682,000. The amount of revenue coIlected by each department of the government has largely increased. Great success has attended the work done by district representatives in agriculture attached to a number of our collegiate Institutes and high echobls. In several instances munci- pal councils have increased their re- muneration and there Is a general de- mand for them from all sections of the province. . The commissioner appointed to col- lect information regarding legislation affecting the compensation for injuries to workmen and to report a bill in that behalf has made good progress with the very important matter he has in 1 charge. rOf Th e (median the new Central Pri- Men buildings at Guelph has been com- menced . A lege part ot the Work has been done by the prisoners and the re - Suite fully justify the experiment tried by the provincial aecretary of treating the prisoners as not unworthy of trust, rather than as ordinary convicts. The board of parole instituted by the provincial secretary hes peeved to be an unqualified suoesss, and great good has already requited from the opera- tion of itr,, The main line Of the Ontario Gov- eknment 11tailway had been cbnippeted Coobrianson the G. T. P. Railway, a 81R JAMES WHITNEY distance of 263 miles, and the Porcu- pine branch it is expected will be completed to Matagami River before the end of the present year, when the railway, with branches, will have about 880 miles in operation.. Surveys for a ' possible extension of the line have been made as far north as James Bay, in case it is decided to continue the line to that point. ' An engagement has been entered into with the Grand Trunk Railway for running rights of Its trains over the line in consideration of which the company assumes an equitable share of the general maintenance of the road and pays thesum. of $300,000 per an- num as rental for such running rights, this sum rer.:esenting one-half. of the interest on the total cost of construc- tion of the railway. The Power Queetien • The great scheme for the utilization of electric power has, after many + vicissitudes and in the face of bitter and relentless opposition, been accom- plished and is now in operation and practically within reach of the farmers and other residents in the villages and rural districts, and I am glad to say that the cost- of construction has been $86,000 less than the estimated cost. It should not be forgotten that this policy of the government contemplates the furnishing of electric power at cost to all sections of the province, but great efforts have been made by inter- ested individuals to hamper and pre- vent the carrying out of the intentions of the government in the central and eastern parts of the province. So far have these efforts gone that in all probability We shall be compelled to use the powers given us by statute with reference to expropriation. I cannot dismiss-- this subject with- out ithout referring to the very patriotic and unselfish exertions of Hon, Adam Beck, chairman, and his colleagues of the Hydro-EIectric Commission, Hon. J. S. Hendrie and Mr. W. K. McNaught, M.P.P. To their continuous and unseI- flah labors may be ascribed a large part of the credit for the success of this great enterprise, and I doubt if our history shows a similar instance of devotion to public interest without fee or reward. I may say also that, in our opinion, the time has come when, having regard to the conduct of public business under our system, the Hydro -Electric Power Commission should bo discontinued and a new de- partment of government created which shoudl take charge of this great work, and the head of which should be a cabinet minister. For several reasons this change is desirable. Mining Revenues. In 1904 the value of our mineral out: put was something over $11,000,000, while in 1910 it was more than $39,- 000,000, and the revenue from mining sources has increased from an average of over $70,000 per annum to an aver- age of 'over $771,000 per annum. Immigrants to the number of nearly 8,000 were brought into the provinoe by the department of colonization and located in the year 1910, and the fig- ures gures for the current year, when avail- able, will show an increase. - What is practically a new wing of the Parliament buildings, which will provide a large increase of much-need- ed office accommodations, is nearly finished, as is also the new and addi- tionaI wing to the north of and adjoin- ing the main building. A very desirable site for a new goy ernntent house has been purchased and contracts for the foundation and the atone work have been let; the site of the present Government House has been sold and the purchase money will suftiee to pay the cost of the now sitb and new building, leaving a consider- able sum for maintenance of the lat ter. The Central jPrison and Lunatic Asylum properties have been sold for the sum o1 $1,026,000, the succession duties for the current year have pass- ed the million•ddi4ar mark, while the revenue as a whole has continued to increase. and this year Will bo coritsid- erably over $8,000,000, as compered with a little leas than ono -half that sum in 1904.

A large expenditure—$16,000 or more --would have been incurred by holding by-elections to 1111 these vacancies, and the expenditure would have to he repeated within a year, Under afar system the practice fav- ors a dissolution before the expiration of the life of the legislative assembly by effluxion of time, and the facts as stated are ample justification for, a dissolution now, and, ill face of the public notice given by me some,weeks ago, it cannot be urged that anyone has been taken by surprise. But there are other reasons wily my colleagues and I desire to consult the electorate—reasons of great and vital importance, having regard to the development of the province and the prosperity of its people. New Ontario. The question of the further open- ing up and development of Now—or Northern—Ontario, Is obviously of great importance and should be dealt with without delay. In this great work of development the government has been handicapped in the past, Ordi- narily the provincial government spends large sums of money annually for inunigration purposes resulting in large additions to the population. The Dominion Government expends money for similar purposes on a much larger scale, but so far with practically no benefit to Ontario, and this for more than one reason. - The only eesult of the additions to our population in the newer districts, as far as the government of the pro- vince is concerned, is that the annual general provincial expenditure is in- creased, while the Dominion treasury receives large sums annually by rea- son of the increased consumption of goods paying tariff duties, and in the. older sections of the province the amounts received for municipal taxa- tion are increased. Under these circumstances we have felt that, in the face of the facts as stated, financial aid should bo afforded us by the Dominion Government In the work of immigration and development generally, and our views in this re- spect have been put before the pub- lic by me on several occasions. It was, therefore, with much satis- faction that my colleagues and I took note of the announcement some time ago by Mr. Borden, now the prime minister of Canada, that if he came into power he would favor the giving of financial aid by the Dominion to the province in the work of immigra- tion to New Ontario, the construction of permanent highways oin the pro- vince, and for providing practical in- struction in agriculture. We must be ready, therefore, to do whatever may be necessary on our part in order that the moneys to be appropriated by the Dominion Government for these three great purposes may be used to the best advantage.. In this connection it is believed that any scheme of develop meat, including the construction of highways, wholly or partially by means of such financial aid or in conjunction with moneys appropriated by the pro- vince, will in all probability necessi- tate the enactment of statutory provi- sions of a ;eery important character in order that such financial aid, together with any additional appropriations by the legislative assembly, may be ap- plied with the best results. ' Bonus for T. fit N. O. Railway. Further, under the rule anee prac- tice of the Dominion Government be- fore, during and since the completion of the construction of the Ontario Government Railway, the Dominion Parliament appropriated to railways constructed by individuals and com- panies a bonus or subsidy of $0,400 per mile, but, although requested more than once to grant a similar subsidy to the Ontario Government Railway, the late Dominion Government stead- ily recused such request, In our opin- ion the province pas in this matter not received the treatment to which it was undoubtedly entitled, and my colleagues and I aro strongly of opin- ion that, having regard to the very great importance of these questions, the people of the province should be given the opportunity, of pronouncing without delay: (1) As to the advisability of further provincial appropriations if necessary co any scheme of development by rea- son of the financial aid to be given ny the Dominion Government, and also of any statutory enactment which may se found to bo necessary under the circumstances aforementioned; (2) Whether the government of the province shall continuo to urge upon the Dominion Government- the pay- .ment of the said bonus or subsidy on account of the construction or,the said T. re N. O. Railway, lmown as - the Ontario Government Railway; and (3) Whether a department 01 gov- ernment shall be created, with a cebr- fret minister et its head, to take over and carry on the work heretofore done by the Hydro-Eloctrie Power Commie - n 1 and mycolleagues lode cone Tb , feeithat the people of the province are fairly well acquainted with the record of our efforts in the public interest. No attack worthy of notice has been made upon tis for anything we have done or left undone. Our acts speak for themselves. Wo realizo that, being mortal, we stave made mistakes, but Nye submit that our mistakes haves been few, and 1 conclude by expressing our earnest appreciation of the confidence heretofore reposed in us, and With a determination to deserve a continua- Aion of it in the future should the op- portunity be given us.
