ELLIOTT, PCDLIBff .R AND FROPLETOR THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1913. 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. EDITORIAL NOTES.

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.
