Battle for Life
The directors of the big New York
life insurance companies are fighting to
continue in control of those companies.
News comes from ail sections of the
country showio* that the regular agents '
of the Life and Mutual are canvassing
for votes. In Seattle and other large j
towns a campaign committee has been
organized. It is charged at Seattle
that two or three very pretty and very
clever women are in the employ of the
committee and are canvassing the city
for votes.
Agents of the New \ ork Life were in
Skagway recently and they did some
missionary work. It is understood,
however, that they were not very suc
cessful, as most cf those with whom
they talked were outspokenly in favor
of the internatioual policy folders'
ticket.
Votes and proxies are now being sent
out in each mail from this place to be
usevl as the election December 18.

Nothing to Fear
The question of Injurious substanccs
in medicines which has been agitating
the minds of many people, does not con
cern those who use Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Mothers need have no
hesitarcy in continuing to give it to
their little ones, as it contains absolute
ly nothing injurious. This remedy is
not only perfectly safe to give small
children, but is a medicine of great
worth and merit. It has a world wide
reputation for its cures of coughs, colds
and cronp and can always be relied up
on. For sale by Wm. Britt.

Mrs. John Close, residing at 230
Commercial St. Astoria, Ore., says:
"About a year ago, we moved here
from Portland ani as I had a great deal
to do, I overdid myself and the result
was I brought on kidney trouble. My
back began to ache and as time rolled
on, it kept getting worse instfad of
better. Tt finally grew so bad that I
could scarcely stoop or straighten up
after stoopiner. When I did any work
requiring bending, I could hardly get
up and I had headaches, dizzy spells
and at times everything before me
looked blurred. I was just about to
start to the store for a plaster to put od
my back, when I read about Uoan't
Kidney Pills and as they were so highly
recommended for kidney troubles, 1
made up my mind to try them and pro
cured a box. They went right to the
root of the disease and helped me from
the start and before I had finished the
box I was cured. Everytcing is chang
ed with me now and I have no symptoms
of kidney trouble whatever."
