PACT NOT FORBIDDEN
Decentralization Clause Doesn't
Restrict Canadian Reciprocity.
OPINION OF CUSTOMS COURT

That the proposed reciprocity agree
ment with Canada is not restricted by
the so-called favored nation" clause
in existing commercial treaties with
England, France and Germany was the
announcement in effect by the Customs
Court of Appeals in a decision handed
down yesterday afternoon.
The courts decision was brought out
by a comparatively unimportant con-
| test over the rate of duty which should
be imposed on whisky imported from
England and France. The point in
volyed is the same as that raised in OPP
position to the proposed Canadian recip-
rocity agreement by those who claimed
it was practically forbidden by the IA
vored nation clause
| A. D. Shaw & Co. firm of New
York importers, protested payment of
duty on whisky from England at the
rate of 1925 per gallon. holding they
were entitled to a rate of $l.75, which
is imposed on whisky and other spirits
from France.
| The essence or their claim was that
under the most favored nation clause
with Great Britain, importations from
| England are entitled to be entered at
the same rate Of duty levied upon such
merchandise when imported from France
and the other countries with whom simi-
lar treaties have been executed.
France Fixes Rate at $1.75.
The treaty with England was negoti-
ated in 1915 and indefinitely extended in
1927. The treaties with France, Italy and
Germany, forming the basis of the i'm
porters' claim. were put into effect by
the President under the tariff act of 1897.
Under the last named treaty On view OF
reciprocal and equivalent concessions the
rate on whisky from France was fixed
at SITS a gallon. The court holds that
by it's terms the treaty is one of mutual
| considers tion and concession.
The importers claim was that the con-
cession of the lower rate of duty to
France was a special favor within the
puryiew of the treaty with England.
Cites Supreme Court Decision.
Citing several germane decisions by the
Supreme Court. the court held that the
portion of the tariff act of 1897 which
gave to the President authority to ne
gotiate commercial reciprocity agree
ments with other nations was not in
conflict with the favored nation clause
OF the treaty with England. This por-
ton of the decision, which was unani-

FISHER BEFORE SENATE.
President Formally dominates Him
to be Secretary Of Interior.

President Taft has sent to the Senate
the nomination Of Walter L. Fisher Of
Illinois to be Secretary of the Interior.
Other nominations include Roland p.

assistant director of the thirteenth deeen-
NAL census.

Engineers, to be a member Of the Cal

nous. is interpreted as removing one OF
the greatest obstacles yet raised against
the proposed agreement with Canada
The action of the customs authorities
in refusing to extend the low French
duty to imports from England was sus-
tanned.
The principle really involved was whetf1-
err the characterization clause in the
treaty with England automatically gave
TO that nation the same advantages as
were extended to France by the reciproci-
ty agreement of 1897. The court decides
that it did not. The same principle is
held to cover the situation which exists
with regard to the proposed reciprocity
agreement with Canada.

The late Bishop Williams of Con-

and 1t was always a joy to us young
sters when he came for his visit to my

stories enlivened the whole household.
Once when he was staying with us he
told the following story:
One Sunday morning. just after
breakfast. 1 repaired to the rector's
study, where l was soon followed by
his little four-year-old son, who
climbed up on my knee and began to
talk. Suddenly the little fellow look
ed up into my face and said: Bissop.
do 100 want to see my piggy book?
Eyes, indeed said 1. So the child
slid down and started to get the book.
When halfway across the room a sud
den idea seemed to strike him. and.
running back and putting one hand on
my knee, he looked up in my face and
shook his little forefinger at me, whis-
pering: 'Bissop, it's Sunday. We must

THE TEA PENALTY.
"A Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from a busy railroad town
the wife of an employee of one of the
great roads says:
my husband is railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
of Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
1t has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his~work, and he
has no time to write himself.
"He has been great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked it
strong.
Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or so, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work in the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suade'd him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
Sat first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste OF
1t, and it somehow seemed to do him
good, he added it to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew better. he began to
drink it for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
His condition is so wonderfully i'm
proved that he could not be hired to
give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep is
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made no
other change in his diet.
His brother, who was very nervous
from coffee-drinking. was persuaded
by US to give up the coffee and use
Postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength" Name given by
