Desire Canada in
Pan-American Union
Declares Barrett

Toronto, Feb. ia definite ana
powerful unofficial movement has
been started throughout the Amer
icas for the eventual incorporation
Of Canada in the American
Union of American Nations, said
John Barrett, former United States
ambassador to Argentina, in an ad-
dress today before the Canadian
Club.
He said the project may be con-
sidcred at the Pan American confer
ence to be held at Santiago, Chile,
next month.
The one big question raised has
been that Of Canada's relationship to
the British empire, Mr.. Barrett said.
This, however, was presented as a
technical qucstian that would work
itself out, as will the question of
Canadian representation at Wash
ington.
Mr.. Barrett brought out what he
said was d bit of hitherto unwritten
history" He said that when Elihu
Root was secretary of state and Bar
rett as director general of the Pan
American Union, had charge of the
construction of the Pan American
Building in Washington. Mr.. Root
definitely instructed him to have
made chair for the governing board
table carrying the coat of arms of
Canada and the word Canada" as
the other chairs carry the coats of
arms and names of the American re-
publics.
That chair, he said, is actually to-
day in the storeroom of the Pan
American Union carefully covered
and protected awaiting the use of
the Canadian representative.

There is one simple. safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid of blackheads,
that is to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces of calonito

little on hot wet cloth--rub over the
blackheads briskly-wash the parts and
you will he surprised how the blackheads
have disappeared. Big blackheads, little
blackhcads, no waiter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear. Black
heads are n mixture of dust and dirt and

skin. The calonite powder and the water
dissolve the blackheads so they wash
right out. leaving the pores free and clean
