FOOD AND BEAUTY.

Coed Complexion Depends Altogether
ON Healthy Digestion.
The seeker after rosy cheeks may
fill whole cupboard with lotions, and
spend half of her time in the beautify-
ing bathtub, but success will not crown
her efforts after beauty unless she turns
her attention also to her diet List.
Clear com plexions do not wait on the
tickle, nor rosy cheeks on the morning
griddle cake.
The woman who intends to have a
good complexion must make a careful
study of the food question. It goes with
out saying that sugary substances must
largely be banished from the bill of
fare. Candies are, of course, excluded.
Cakes follow in their wake. AS for
pies and all other compounds of -four
and grease, they are fatal to clear skins.
Bread that is doughty or starchy should
rank almost as low as pastry in the
estimation of the seeker after good
looks.
Alcoholic drinks are banished Ill
most entirely, their effect even in small
quaint being a mild form of con-
gestion of blood in the face, which
eventually coarsens the texture as well
as ruins the color of the skin. For
somewhat similar reasons all sorts of
narcotics and stimulants are TO be
avoided, for whatever excites the
nerves or overheats the blood tends to-
ward the final destruction of the
smooth peachy texture which is the
Chief OF every woman's ambition to at
tain.
Whatever has the effect of produc-
ing healthy action of the digestive or
gans is good for the complexion. Acid
and laxative fruits especially, if taken
at breakfast, are good. Entire wheat
bread and toast rank high among the
bread beautifers. Red and juicy
meats, green vegetables, milk and eggs
are all conducive to the attaining of
brilliant complexionl-G. II. DER

THE TARJFF.

On Monday March 22 began the
debate on the new tariff bill, and
If the plans of the republicans in
the house do not mis-carry, the
bill will pass the house before
April l. Chairman Dingley pre-
pared the majority report on this
measure and made the opening
speech in the debate, and Repre-
sentative Bailey of Texas will sub
NIT the report of the minority.
Mr.. Dingley says that if the bill
becomes II law by May ! he expects
the revenue under it the first year
TO be $75,000,000. If it is not
enacted until July /, he says the
government will lose at least s15,-
100000. of revenue as spectators
will import large quantities OF
goods on which it is proposed to
increase the duties. Mr.. Dingley
in his report declares it to be the
imperative duty of congress to
so adjust duties as to secure the
needed revenue to carry on the
government and to better protect
the industries which have suffer-
ed the past three years from un
equal foreign competition" The
debate on the bill will continue
every day from 10 a. IN. to II D.
m. until March 81 when q vote
will be taken. The bill will be
passed without any difficulty.
Mr.. Bailey's report is expected
to be conservative and will not
treat the subject of free raw ma
terial upon which it is understood
there is a difference of opinion
among the democratic members.
1t will refute the arguments adj
vanced in the Dingley report that
more revenue is now needed, and
that a protective tariff is fessS' II n, ,
n;aa,an best interest es ~ q shs i people. Mr.
Il1ingley III Confidently predicts an
increase of slOO,oOO,0oO in reve-
nue. under the new law. Some o1
the largest revenue producers are
sugar, S2l 100000; wool, SIT, 500,
900; manufactures of wool, s27,.
600, 900; tobacco, 81, 900, 900.
