When You Drink Tea.

"The scientific justification for add
ing milk to tea," says the Dietetic
and Hygienic Gazette, comes from
the facts that the fannie acid con.
tanned in tea combines with the albu-
men of the milk to form tannate of al
bumen, which is practically leather.
BY drinking tea alone the coating of
the stomach is made leathery. But
when milk, which contains albumen,
is added the molecules of tannic acid
select their affinity of albumen from
it, and, as divorce is unknown to
tannate of albumen, the lining of the
stomach is less liable to be affected
by the fannie acid than it would be
