The American leads the world as meat
eater, with three pounds a week; the Briton
follows a close second, with little more
than two pounds and half; the German
consumes a little less than the Briton, and
the Russian consumes one pound, while the
Italian must, perforce. exc out his scant
half pound with large supplies Of macaroni
and black bread and garlic. The argument
has plausible look. but let us not forget
that the finest specimens of physical health
and strength in the whole world, with the
exception of one hardy savage tribe few in
numbers, come from a spot in the Emerald
Isle where the diet is potatoes and milk.
chiefly SKINNED, and black bread, and very
little of any of them. And there is the
sturdy Scot, who scarcely knows the taste
of meat, but makes his way in all climes
and under all conditions. though he springs
from an ancestry that subsisted on oatmeal.

We Are What We Eat.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

London newspaper has a theory, or
properly a hypothesis. that the peoples who
eat are the peoples who get on and do
things People with large appetites. it says
have become the chief nations in the world
and the nature of the food consumed bears
a relation to the character of the con-
sumers. 1t speaks of people with large ap-
petites but no doubt means those who are
able to satisfy large appetites. The conten-
ton is supported by showing that the ma
tions which export goods are those whose
people expend the most on food.
The argument expressed in tabular form
Indicates in pence the amount expended a
head each day for food and the annual ex-
ports in pounds sterling:

j. ID. Benson Tells of His
Complete Cure of a Ter
rible Case of Eczema.

'T was treated by prominent New York and
Philadelphia specialists for months Long weeks
] lay helpless In bed from the sores on my legs,
hands, arms and head. My face was swollen al
most beyond recognition at times. They succeeded
in healing the surface and left the hospital Az
gust LIST last year.
"'In ten days the disease had returned and there
were sores on my ankles larger than the palm Of
my hand, weeping heavily and the skin thick again
and peeling on as before with that terrible Itch
ing. Also my face and neck were attacked.
Was packing my trunk to return to the hospital
when / read your advertisement in a local paper.
Secured q bottle of Zema-Cura at once. The drst
application gave relief. and in five days the weep
ing had stopped. the itching abating and the sur
face healing The surfaces soon healed and have
remained So the itching stopped. except occasion
ally. and soon wore shoes again-which had not
for months. except occasionally when compelled
temporarily to go out, and then they were several
sizes too large and never laced.
az also used U-ah-ma Tablets for several months.
and am glad to say l am once more free. have
sent your address to many have heard were SUI
fering and have told all my friends. Shout 1t from
the housetops. Go into TIE byways and hedges
and tell every what zema-Cura will do for
eczema"
AL that we might say regarding Zema -Cura would
seem weak and futile when compared with this
earnest, sincere statement of Mr.. Benson. As he
says. he has told all his friends Of his marvellous
recovery. and a number of people near his home in
New York city their delivery from torturing
akin diseases to Mr.. Bensons advice.
No other remedy Is even similar to Zema-Cur
and other remedy has been discovered which
will cure such q large proportion OF eczema cases.
1ema-Cura Is q liquid, applied externally. 1t has
none Of the dsagreeable features Of salve oint-
ment. 1t brings instant relief and permanent cure.
