THE NORTH GREY ELECTION.
North Grey still continues a live topic
in Provincial politics. Its importance
is rather over-estimated and the Liber-
al defeat cannot be dismissed by any
such phrases as "Abolish the Bar Policy
Condemned" or "Hanna Vindicated."
In the first place a bye -election is
very different from a general election.
On the whole the issues are much more
local and there is not that feeling of co-
operation among the voters in the dif-
ferent ridings. Take the temperance
issue, for example. All of North Grey,
except Meaford, which went Liberal, is
without licenses. If the recent contest
had been part of a general election the
temperance forces would have worked
more vigorously because they would
have known that the election of a
Liberal would help to secure the aboli-
tion of the bar in other constituencies.
In a bye. election, however, there is not
the same incentive.
The outcome raises again the pertin-
ent query, "Is there such a thing as a
temperance vote?" The answer would
seem to be decidedly in the negative.
Mr. McQuaker, the Liberal candidate,
is a temperance man, a total abstainer I
and was heartily endorsed by the Dom-
inion .tliiance. He favoured the legis-
lation approved by almost every tem-
perance and religious convention held in
the last two years. Yet in Owen Sound
a town that carried and sustained local
option, he was defeated. Guelph
Mercury.
The Canadian Gazette, which is pub-
lished in London, England, in referring
to the appointment of Hon. Mr. Meigh-
en as Solicitor -General, says that he
"will unquestionably be the future
leader of the Conservative party in the
western Provinces." The question na-
turally comes: Has the Gazette never
heard of Hon. Mr. Rogers, or is it be-
cause it knows a good deal about him
that the paper predicts his eclipse
through Mr. Meighen's rise? But take
it anyway you will, The Gazette com-
ment is another "knock" for "Bob."—
Regina Leader.
Not lung ago a farmer marked the
following on a slip of paper and stuck
it inside a barrel of apples: "I got 75c.
for this barrel. How much did you pay?"
The price was in the neighborhood of $5.
A Chicago dispatch now relates the
cause of the steer for $19.25. When
killed and cut up the edible parts of the
beast brought $99.21 at retail price.
The tidy little sum of $79.90 disappeared
somewhere between the producer and
consumer. Nor is that all, for the
packer, in addition to what he sold to
the retailer disposed of the unedible
portions of the carcase for 19.50 for 25
cents more than he paid for the steer.
—Windsor Record.
During a recent national convention
of advertizing men in Baltimore one ad-
vertising manager of wide experience
dwelt with much emphasis upon the
value of concentrated newspaper publi-
city. He made a vivid impression. He
said that the newspapers constituted
the only real medium through which a
manufacturer could create a demand
for his products in a particular locality.
Only the newspapers can build up
business locally, because advertising in
local newspaper creates demand. There
is a vast difference between creating
actual demand. Demand means sales
over the counter.
The British Navy will be increased
by a new destroyer every two weeks
for the next nine months; by a light
cruiser every thirty days for the next
year, and by a super -dreadnaught every
forty-five days for the next eighteen
months. It is also worthy of note that
every one of these ships will be fully
manned and officered and ready to meet
any possible foe the day they are put
into commission. With such speedy
prepartion for every eventuality, it is
not likely that the British people are
lying awake o'nights worrying because
they have not got Mr. Borden's three
empty dreadnaughts.
There is deep and loud grumbling
amongst the followers of Mr. Borden
at the appointment of Hon. Arthur
Meighen as solicitor general. Especi-
ally is this manifest amongst the older
Conservative members from Ontario,
which province has long considered it-
self the centre of Toryism, and entitled
to about everything it wanted. E. A.
Lancaster, M. P. for Welland is among
the most angry, and even went so far
as to take a trip to to the Capital to
tell people how badly he felt because
Ontario—and Lancaster -•, had been
passed over. W. B. Bennett, M. P.
for Simcoe, is another old time Ontario
Tory who received a severe jolt when
the plum went West. However, there
are four vacant judgeships in Ontario,
and it is announced that when Hon. W.
T. Crothers returns from his fruitless
trip to the West he will distribute this
patronage where it will soothe the ruff-
led feelings of Tory members as far as
possible.
Nor did the Hanna charges have
much effect on the result. They prob-
ably did lead strong party men among
the Conservatives to stand in solidly
with their party, but the result is by no
means a vindication of the Provincial
Secretary.
Local issues on the other hand un-
doubtedly did have an effect. C. S.
Cameron, the Conservative candidate
and his supporters, even in the pres-
ence of Cabinet Ministers went up and
down the Riding promising that if the
Government candidate were elected, a
normal school would be established in
Owen Sound and financial aid given to
the building of a railway between Mea -
ford and Owen Sound. Both these
things are badly needed in the Riding.
The Government candidate had no right
to adopt such campaign tactics but he
did so and the result was to be expect-
ed. The promising of favors, if the
vote were closely analyzed would be
shown to be one of the chief factors in
the election.
Liberal leaders are not discouraged
and the great rank and file of the Liber-
al party also realizes that in a bye -
election the odds are strongly in favor
of the Government and that the reverse
in North Gree is only temporary. They
are confident that the general elections
will tell a different story.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are useful in
any disease caused by thin or impure
blood, and the 1 ist of such diseases is
astonishingly large. Anaemia literally
means a condition in which the blood
is thin and watery. In rheumatism the
blood becomes thin more rapidly than
in any other disease. After an attack
of la grippe or acute fevers the blood is
always thin and impure, and Dr. Wil-
liams Pink Pills are the tonic to use
during convalescence. When the blood
is poor and thin the stomach suffers.
The food ferments, gas and certain
acids form and the trouble is pronounc-
ed indigestion or dyspepsia. The nerves
receive from the blood all of their
nourishment keep pp their energy
and repair waete otp' damage. Some
forms of paralytis are caused by thin
blood. The pregtess of locomotor
ataxia is stopped in many cases when
the blood is made pure, rich and red.
This is only a partial list of the troubles
having their origin in impure, watery
blood, and all can be cured by supply-
ing the blood with its missing constitu-
ents.
This is exactly what Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills do. Their chief mission is to
make rich, red blood, and this good
blood reaches every organ and every
nerve in the human body, thus driving
out disease andbringingrenewed health
and strength to thousands of weak,
despondent people.
Ask your neighbors. There is not an
inhabited corner in Canada where Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have not restored
some sufferer, and all over this country
there are grateful people who do not
hesitate to say they owe health in
some cases life itself --to this • great
medicine. If you are ailing begin to
cure yourself to -day by using Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills.
Sold by all dealers in medicine or
by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont.
