No woman possesses such high de-
gree of beauty that she can afford to be
careless of herself. It is one thing to
have and another to keep Every one
knows good health is the first impor-
tant help and to have that one must
pay attention to sleep, diet and exer-
else.
For most people tepid water is bet
ter to battle in than extremely hot or
cold water. An occasional saltwater
sponge bath is excellent. If a woman
is working for good complexion she
should shun fried and greasy foods
and pastry as she would smallpox and

A simple massage may be necessary
to fill out the face and neck to requi-

cleaned in softened tepid water and a

good cream, rubbing with the fingers
After massaging the face we'll wash
off the oil left on the surface and light

to improve the complexion and has
been known to yield lasting relief in
cases of neuralgia.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE IN FARM PROD
UCTS

study of our foreign trade in agricultural
products is not only interesting, but always
suggestive of great possibilities. First of all
this naturally takes form in the way of in
creasing exports of our great surplus crops
and by-products Highly important also Is
the fact. as brought out from time to time in
our columns, that we import vastly more
agricultural products than should We
are sending abroad each year products Of
agriculture to the value of over $500 GOO 000
on the other hand, we are buying in foreign
countries to the extent of some $500, 900, 0OO
The largest single item Of importation is
sugar. ard the effort now being made to in
crease the home production and cut down this
SloO,OOO,O0O annual outlay is too well known
to require mention here. Next in Importance
to our American farmers is the enormous i'm
portation of wool 1t will require many years
of building up our focks before the sum an
nually put out for foreign f1eeces can be ma
terially cut down. An item of less interest
TO the American farmer, although important
In making up the total is coffee which can
not be prohtably grown in the United States
But many other products of agriculture, long
imported, should be made available without
going abroad for them.
During the fiscal year 1897, the United
States exported domestic merchandise
amounting to 81 1892, 600, COO, a sum never pre
nearly 81 per cent. or $500, 900 900 had their ORR
gin in agriculture. During the same period
total imports of all kinds of merchandise were
s765 10000, and of this amount $500 COO 600 or
81 per cent was expended for agricultural
imports.
