F. MacLaren, Conservative, and Jas. N. Grieve, Liberal. +, ¥ As regards the candidates, North Perth has nothing to fear, Both cand. idates are worthy of the confidence and support of the electorate, and are quali- fied to intelligently represent the inte)- ests. of the riding ey Ottawa, TRE fact that ae Mr. MacLaren and Mr. Grieve are opposed: to the prin- ciple of Separate schools and the Re- medial Bill, the school question is not an issue in the North erth contest. The real jssue-is the fiscal policy of the two parties between which you are asked to judge and give an intelligent verdict at the polls next Tuesday. * ** MITCHELL Advocate---"It is a pleas- ing feature of the present campaign, so-far as South Perth 18 concerned, that personalities have been entirely eschew ed by the. speakers and the press. issues are fairly discussed, and he bad feeling of former elections has in no way Deen aroused, Thisis as it | should be." The same may be said of | North Perth, as far as we ean learn, Abuse is not argument, but rather be trays a luck of it. TOWN TALK. Miss BERTHA PEL' LTON is the Buest of her sister-in-law, Mrs, R.S.

Being the original Kidney remedy in pill form, the cures they have made, and the:fame they have attained have opened the way for s host of imitations and substitutes, but those who have been eured of # KIDNEY Complaints through the use of this won- derful medicine, those whose lame back is now free from pain, those who now have no headaches, those who have escaped from the death grip of Diabetes and Bright's disease by the use of Doan's PILLS @re the ones whose opinion is valuable, When scores of such people come forward and tell publicly that Doan's Kidney Pills cured them after other means failed, it is evident that the only CURE for Kidney Disease, Bladder and Urinary difficulties, Lame Back, and the number- less results of disordered Kidneys is Doan's Hidney Pills.
