On the other hand there is practicalâ€" ly no limit to the good that may be accomplished by the spending of that dollat at home.

According to an articio in the curâ€" rent number of ‘The Dry Goods Review, mail order siores continue to extendâ€" their interests in or control of daily newspapers in Toronto, Montâ€" real and Winnipeg. A large interest in, if not control, of another Toronto daily, it says, has been acquired, which makes three dailies in Toronto in which mail order stores are finanâ€" cially interested.

The choice of the Liberal Executive was ratified Saturâ€" day by the Reform Association of the riding. There was some talk at first of simply endorsing Mr. Laidlaw, who had already been formally nominated by the Temperance Alliance. On the other hand, there was a larger number who took the view that inasmuch as Mr. Laidlaw was a strong Liberal, who had been waited upon prior to th: temperance convenâ€" tion, and who bad consented to acâ€" cept the Liberal nomination, he should be nominated on the Liberal ticket.
