(By Associated Press.) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Nov. 5. America and Great Britain must avoid national trade competition, "organized by government and supported by political action." Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador to the United States, declared today in an address

at a chamber of commerce luncheon here. If the United States or Great Britain, he said, were to begin to organize areas of exclusive economic advantage there " would inevitably come a clash of interests that would at least strain the friendly relations between the countries."

Sir Auckland denied statements ap-J

pearing in American newspapers that American ships had been placed at a disadvantage with British ships by British government action. He declared, however, not "in any sense as a threat, however veiled, but as a matter of interest," that if the British empire should adopt a law precisely similar to the American law limiting coastwise traffic to ships flying only its own flag "there would be some farreaching derangements In the business of non-British shipping." Policy Based on Fairness. "We are not thinking atl present of adopting any such law," he added, "for our trade policy is based on the policy of 'fair trade and equal opportunity.' " Speaking not only as the ambassador of England but as the representative of all the British dominions and colonies, "of one quarter of the human race," Sir Auckland said he had no hesitation in asserting that he misrepresented no opinion of importance when he declared it was the wish of all the British people to live in peace and amity with the United States and "with all the nations of the earth." "I sometimes read, in your news-

devilish schemes which the British

government is preparing with the object of preventing your trade expan

"Let me declare without any possibility of misunderstanding the British government will welcome the cooperation of the government of the United States in dealing with the problems of the east and the west and that so far as trade is concerned it stands today by its old policy of fair trade and equal opportunity."

The first principle is to keep the system clean. Occasionally see that the boy or girl, as well as yourself, has an internal bath. It may be with castor oil or a tiny pill of May-apple, aloin and jalap, which is sold by druggists as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If a cold starts with a cough and it persists, then 6ome local treatment for this condition should be taken. A well-known alterative extract which has been on the market for a great many years, and which has been highly recommended by thousands of users, is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This tonic compound is composed of an extract of roots and herbs, without alcohol, and has a soothing effect upon the mucous membrane, allays" the irritation and at the same time works in the proper and reasonable way, at the seat of the trouble the stagnated or poisoned blood. ---- - - -
