HITCH COMES
RECIPROCITY DEAL
.Paper Duties Give Advantage
to Canada, but Terms May
Undergo Change.
SEPARATE DEAL POSSIBLE
()nada Would Continue Kxport Duly
on Pulpvrood While Securing Free
Admission of Paper Vnder
Term of Atreemcnt.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 7. Aa a result
of th growing belief that paper and
wood pulp provisions of the new Cana
dian reciprocity agreement would ope
rate to benefit the Dominion without a
corresponding benefit to tha Lnlted
Stales, an Important change Is likely
to be made by Congress In the measure
afore it la ratified.
Paper manufacturers and others be
lieve tha language of the arrangement
Is such that the United Statea might be
compelled to admit paper fre before
Canada compiled with her part of the
agreement.
Arg-ument Can He Changed.
Th situation has been presented to
th ways and means committee In such
strong light that many members are
satisfied that tha agreement Is open
to a construction disadvantageous to
American manufacturers. Mr. Knox
sent a letter to th commute today,
saying tha Commissioners had arrived
only at a tentative agreement on the
paper schedule. It can be changed, he
said, without defeating the rest of the
treaty; and Ita adjustment can be left
to future negotiations or future action
of Congress.
Tba ways and means committee also
procured a draft of the measure In
troduced In the Canadian Parliament to
put tbe agreement In force In th Do
minion. Thla shows that Canada has
taken tha atand that American paper
and pulp shall not be admitted free
Into the country until all provinces
have removed their restrictions against
th exportation of pulp logs. That was
th understanding her when tba
agreement was completed.
Canada May Get Advantage.
Now, however. It has been reported
to tha committee and also to the State
Department that Canada actually will
get paper and pulp -Into this country
Immediately, while th United Etatea
jrlll be barredffrom shipping like prod
ucts to th JJominlon.
Tbe (rouble arises from th distinc
tion In Canada between "crown lands"
and "private lands," and th rulings
that th Treasury Department at Wash
ington baa mad on this subject.
Reciprocity Protests Filed.
WXNNIPEOb Feb. T. A convention of
market gardeners of Manitoba her to
day adopted resolutions to protest
strongly to th Laurler government
against the terms of th reciprocity
agreement with th United States af
fecting garden produce.
When Canadian provinces prohibit
th exportation of pulp logs It I from
"crown lands Th provinces have
no power to prohibit tha exportation of
logs cut from private lands. The Treas
ury Department has held that, even
when a province has prohibited the ex
portation of loga from crown lands, the
logs from private lands or the paper
manufactured from them may come In
at the lowest rat. On thla basts It is
feared tha courts will hold that paper
from private land timber or from
provinces that have no restrictions
may com In free, even before the rest
of th provinces remove their restric
tions. Question Mar Get Into Court.
Tbe commltte had mad a careful
Inquiry of witnesses as to whether. In
Ita present form, th agreement would
let paper In free, even though Canadian
provlncea ahould continue to exercise
restrictions against the exportation of
pulp wood logs.
Alfred S. Hall, a Boston lawyer, rep
resenting holders of securities In the
International Paper Company. Indicated
that th matter would be taken to the
court If trade agreements wer con
structed In that way. He said he stood
with the manufacturer of paper on the
basis that if fre paper were granted It
must be accompanied by the fre im
portation of pulp wood logs.
Th hearty support of Implement and
vehicle manufacturers of the United
States was pledged to th agreement
by E. W. McCullouRh. secretary of th.
National association.
BRITALV MAY MAKE PROTEST
Tories Move to Ask Canada to Post
. pone Ratification.
LONDON. Feb. 1. The United States
Canada reciprocity agreement occupies
a commanding plac In the mlrrtla of th
members of th new House of Commons.
This Is made plain not only In Mr. Bal
four's demand of yesterday that the
Government grant time for sn exhaus
tive debate on th matter and for an
amendment to th address in reply to
th speech from the throne on the sub
ject, but by Innumerable Interpolations
to be made tomorrow.
Among these will be a request that
Colonial Secretary Harcourt ask the Ca
nadian Government to postpone the rati
fication of tha agreement until the Im
perial conference has been held.
The members are also anxious to know
whether the British Cabinet was con
sulted lt the negotiations between Wash
ington and -Ottawa and if the United
Kingdom will be able under the agree
ment to send Its products to the United
States at the same tariff rates as are
enjoyed by Canada.

Grows Hair
on Bald Heads
Reeorcln is one of the latest and
most effective germ killers discovered
by science, and in connection with Beta
Naphthol, also a powerful antiseptic,
a combination Is formed which de
stroys the germs which rob the hair of
Its nutriment, and thus creates a clean
and healthy condition of the scalp,
which prevents the development of new
germs.
Pilocarpine 1 a well known agent
for restoring the hair to its natural
color, where the loss of color has been
due to a disease. Yet It is not a color
ing matter or dye.
The famous Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
Is chiefly composed of Resorcin, Beta
Naphthol and Pilocarpine, combined
with pure alcohol because of its cleans
ing and antiseptic qualities. It makes
the scalp healthy, nourishes the hair,
revitalises the roots, supplies hair
nourishment and stimulates a new
growth.
We want you to try a few bottles
of Rexall "93" Hair Tonic on our per
sonal guarantee that the trial will not
cost you a penny if Jt does not give
you absolute eatisfaction. That's proof
of our faith In this remedy and it

Your Home With the Music
You Love
IF YOU own a piano that is dead
and silent because no one in your
family can play it, exchange it for an
AUTOTONE
the piano all can play, either by hand or by
means of perforated music-rolls.
Then you can flood your home with melody
and brighten up many a dull hour.
If a friend who plays by hand visits you,
the Autotone may be adjusted in a moment
for hand playing.
The famous Accentor device which accom
plishes the 'human touch" and gives you the
ability to accent the melody properly, is an
exclusive feature of the Autotone.
The Autotone has been enthusiastically in
dorsed by such famous artists as Campanini,
Caruso, Tetrazzini, Destinn and many others.
We cordially invite your personal inspec
tion and test of these' beautiful instruments.
All makes of Pianos may be exchanged at
their real value and convenient payments ar
ranged for the balance.
