CAUST|C SPEECH BY
EARL OF SELBORVE
British Government Scored for
Inactivity in Regard to Rec
iprOcity Agreement.

LONDON. May 1S.-The government
was sharply criticised by the Earl OF
Selborne in the house OF lords this even
ing for extraordinary supineness" in
failing 10 safeguard the interests of the
United Kingdom In the American Cana
dian reciprocity agreement. He referred
~ President Tafts very remarkable
speech" and declared that when Mr.. Taft
said annexation was all bosh ali accepted
the presidents word, nevertheless the
agreement formed a precedent capable OF
large extensions 1t WAS the first time
in the history of the empire that one
part had obtained better terms from a
Kingdom. and the step between recelv-
ing and giving better terms was a short
one
Ratification of the agreement, the earl
continued, would place this country In
n position of extraordinary difficulty.
Baron Lucas. parliamentary under
secretary to the war office. replying for
the government, said the Earl OF Sell
borne greatly overestimated the damage
to the trade of the United Kingdom and
the difficulties that might arise from the
reciprocity agreement.
Canada was perfectly within her statu-
tory rights and the government could not
interfere. The United Kingdom could
never offer Canada the same advantages
as could the United States,
War Secretary Haldare said that II was
the policy OF the government to give the
people Of Canada every facility to do the
best they could for themselves The gov
ernmeut held that il was not to the dis
advantage OF the United Kingdom that
Canada develop trade relations with the
United States.

HOW TO BEAUTIFY
YOUR COMPLEXION

"Adding permanent beauty to tho
face. neck and arms is by no means a
difficult matter" says Mae Martyn IN
EST mistake which thousands of women
make daily is the practice Of smearing
their faces with powder. This stops
up the pores in the skin; causing PIN,
pies. enlarged pores and other faelal
blcmishes that are difficult to over
come
'eThe best skin whitener and com
plcxion beautifcr known to beauty
specialists is made by dissolving, four
water with two tcaspooufuls glycerino
added. This inexpensive lotion is very
6ne for clearing up rough, oily or
sallow skin. 1t quickly corrects a
shiny, lifeless condition, giving the
skin a smooth, satiny tone. After once
you trv it, YOU will have no further
use for face powder. as 1T doesn't
