gotiate reciprocity treaties, but the
agents of the American protected in
terests on guard in the senate have
death chamber for treaties OF that
kind. When American trade receives
such blows from abroad that our goods
cannot be sold in European markets
perhaps a demonstration will be made
rowerful enough to compel acknowl-

husbands and wives should ask them

second place mighty hard to live with.
All "models" are. Look for a manly
man, and a womanly woman. Don't
