NOW for the internal treatment. Ea
vegetables and forg54 meat for a Will,
Vegetarians have, universally, beauti
full compilations. At a vegetarian ban
quet the first thing that strikes you
| the beauty of the women. Then yo
notice that it is their clear skins tina
you admire. There is something in tn
eating OF fruits and cereals, of vegeta
bles and nuts that seems to clear tn
skin and Danish that dull and cloud
look from the face.
The spring medicines are good TO
the complexion, taken any time of year
and they viii often rid you of blem
ishes. Soaking the feet at night in no
water will often act upon an obstina Il
facial spot, and loose clothing and at
tcntion to the laws of hygiene will Dc
wonders for you.
That clear, beautiful English com
plexion which is the admiration as vel
as the despair of Americans, has its
beginning in the clear air, exercise and
the bread and butter diet forced upon
the English miss. True, she drinks tea,
but she does not eat fat meats. hot
with spices and rich with gravies, three
times a day, nor does she have fried
stuffs forced upon her
flashes, pattieS, twice cooked meats,
arations of the day-before meats, are
| on her table, and she thrives on them.
| The American girl who does not eat
| half a pound of meat at each meal
thinks she is ill; and the one who does
not overeat is hard to find.
Going without your middle meal for
q week is good for the complexion. You
will not starve. And eating only three
| kinds of food at a meal is still better.
There are women whose skins are so
| delicate that they act as recording
agents for the food that is taken in.
A salad with vinegar dressing will war
upon the other food taken. And if
creamed vegeta bles, such as succotash,
asparagus, or the like, be eaten at the
same meal with salads or sour foods,
the two will Wrangle internally, and
the result will be a complexion spot.
1t is too bad that some should be
trea ted this way by Mother Nature, and
others be allowed to go scot free in the
matter of the foods they may or may
not eat. But facts are facts, and COM.
pleXions are compilations. Shell fish
viii bring out blotches upon ones face
that will not leave for two weeks Study
your own peculiarities, say little about
them, but take care.
The woman with a bilious tinge can
rid herself of it by eating stewed fruit
and taking plenty of exercise. She can
practice in her room with the window
open. or, better still, can join a gym
nasium class. Perhaps she can organ
ize one OF her own and the members
can watch each other glow clear
skinned and beautiful.
Heat is the secret of good looks, as it
is of health and of life Keep the ex-
tremities warm; take plenty of hot
baths exercise until you are in a glow;
drink hot water early in the morning.
but do not take it hot enough to injure
the stomach; and-above all-exercise,
An interesting return dealing with |
the production and consumption of tea |
and coffee is among the parliamentary |
papers issued.
Tea, we are told, is almost entirely |
of Asiatic production, and is exported !
mostly to Europe. although a certain |
amount is also sent to the United |
States, to Canada and to Australia. Of |
the countries which import tea, Eng
land stands foremost; in fact. the con-
sumption of tea in that country ex-
ceeds that of all other European coun-
tries and the United States put togeth-
pr. In the United Kingdom nearly six
pounds of tea per head of the popula-
ion are consumed. Sixteen years ago
he per capita consumption amounted
20 approximately, five pounds. There
S no other European country where
such a per capita consumption is APP
oached. Indeed. there is no other
european country, with the exception
II Holland, where the consumption of
ga exceeds one pounds per head. In
Russia and in the United States also,
which are the other two large tea
countries, the consumption
mounts to under one pound per head:
n France the total quantity of tea
consumed is under 100000 pounds or
% pound per head of the population,
nd in Germany it is 100000 pounds,
II IL Of a pound per head of the pop
llation.
There is also a considerable consump-
ion of tea in Australia and in Canada. +.
nd although the total quantity con- .
umed is. not nearly so large as that of
he mother country, yet it is relatively
arge as compared with the present
population of those colonies. In Aus
ralia the consumption of tea at the
resent time averages over ~ pounds :
er head of the population. In Canada I
he per capita consumption is at pres !
mt pounds. The value of tea at the /

The production of coffee, like that of 4
"a, is largely increasing The Unit o
/ States holds very similar place a
| the coffee trade to that held by our a
lives in the tea trade, the relative d
in each exceeding that of d
u other countries of the civilized &
orld put together. The coffee trade t,
the United States, therefore. may s.
said virtually to control the trade, Il
we'll as to a certain extent the prices
coffee throughout the world. The
eat bulk of the coffee imported comes
ON the largest coffee producing
'untry, namely, Brazil, the second a
