Minnesota Branch Of Reciprocity
League Hears Report Of Its
Special Counsellor. -
Treaty Can Be Arranged, but Rati-

Work Needed.

The meeting OF the Minnesota branch
of the National Reciprocity League at
the Commercial Club this afternoon was
called to order by President John Miller
Of Duluth The most important matter
for consideration was the report upon
Canadian reciprocity, made to the advis-
ory board Of the branch by It's special
counsellor, Eugene G. Hay of Minneap-
oils. r.. ,...c-t. . e+t. 3 -s
Mr.. Hay has returned after some weeks
spent in Ottawa, Canada, and three weeks
in Washington. investigating the effects
Of the present customs regulations of both
countries and the probable result of
changes in these regulations as affecting
reciprocity.
In beginning his report Mr.. Hay re-
ferred briefly to the three principal tariff
| systems used in civilized countries: the
general and conventional tariff and the
maximum and minimum tariff. systems,
| showing that rigidity in any system Of
! levying customs duties creates a disad-
| vantage.
/ Following a discussion OF the reasons
| for the protective policy used by the
United States Mr.. Hay took up the general
subject of reciprocity after which he
plunged directly into the subject of Can
adian recfpr ocity. He spoke strongly of
the ties Of blood, habit and thought which
bind the two nations, stating that there

The agonizing itching and burning Of
the skin. as in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting OF the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial Disagreement, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants and the anxiety OF
WORKOUT parents, as in milk crust, tet-
ter and salt rheum, all demand q Tem-
edy of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them
that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy, have made them the standard
skin cures and hum0ur remedies of the
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to 1llay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, In the severer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set is often
sufficient to cure the most torturing,
disfiguring and humiliating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss Of hair,
when all else fails.

a SUGAR BEET PROBLEM.
How Secretary Wilson Is Trying to
Improve the Seed.

How Secretary Wilson Is Trying to
Improve the Seed.
Washington. March 13.-ENperiments
are being made by the agricultural de-
| partment to reduce the cost of growing
sugar beets. The department is going
about this in a curious sort of way, but
Secretary Wilson is confident that the
experiments will prove a success, and
that the cost of raising sugar beets will
be decreased by 20 per cent. Secretary
Wilson had on his desk an ordinary
fruit jar. which contained thousands
of curious objects.
"I am greatly interested in this" said
the secretary, as he picked UP the jar.
This contains sugar beet seeds. In
some seed, there is but n germ, while
in others, there are three or -four, each
of which will produce a beet plant. My
aim is to produce seed which will con-
tain but one germ. / believe this can
be done, and If we succeed in our eX-
pertinent, the farmers Of the country
will be able to raise beets much cheaper
than they can now.
When a seed produces four plants,
1t is necessary for the farm hand to go
over the field and eliminate all plants
but one in each group. The cost of
this labor is about 81 per acre. and if
we can produce seeds containing only
one germ, then that AMOUNT will be
saved to the farmer. 1t will then be
possible to utilize a machine which
plants seeds six inches apart, and the
problem of beet sugar raising will be
