Health and Beauty Talks
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN

even though all of the remedies YOU
have tried did no good. Get four ounces
Of parnotis from your druggist and dis
solve 1t in pint Of hot water. Take
a tablespoonful before each meal It
generally cuts down flesh rapidly and
will not injure your health in any way.
G. E. A: When you wear a VEIL face
powder will not help your complexion
much, as it rubs off too easily. What
you need is a good lotion that will not
show on the skin. The next time you
go to the drug store get four ounces
Of spurmax and dissolve it in one
half pint Of hot water, adding two tea
spoOnfuls Of glycerine This lotion will
clear up and Whiten your skin, make it
soft and veNety, and give you a beau
tiful complexion. It will rid your skin
of that shiny, greasy, sallow look and
make it appear charming and youthful.
I find this excellent for cold sores,
freckles and pimples. 1t costs very
little and win protect your face from
the cold winds and prove a splendid
beautifier.
Emma M: A beautiful head of hair
adds so much to ones appearance that
1 would caution you to be more careful
Of your hair hereafter. You would not
have to use a hair net to make your
better care of it. Try shampooing your
hair every two weeks with a teaspoon
full of canthroX dissolved in a cup of
hot water and see how bright and
fluffy it will make your hair. This
shampoo fathers fine, cleanses the scalp
thoroughly and stops all irritation. Can
throx makes delightful shampoo and
Is especially good during the winter
months, as it dries quickly You can
get canthroX shampoo at most hair
dressers' if you ask for it, or you can
get canthroX at your drug store and
prepare the shampoo yourself at a
small cost. Don't use soap on the hair.
1t is dangerous, as the alkali in it tends
to kill the hair and causes light streaks
in the hair which are so common.
A. b. NJ: If your eyes lack bright
ness and expression, try dropping in
each eye daily one or two drops OF a
tonic made by dissolving one ounce OF
crystos in a pint of water. This tonic
will not smart the eyes and is excellent
for weak and inhamed eyes. 1t
strengthens the sight, while keeping
the eyes clear and lustrous. This Is
a great help to those who wear glasses
and is used constantly by many ae-
tresses and society women who pride
themselves on their beautiful. spark
ling eyes.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-06

e. r. S.: If your hair is splitting at
the end and becoming prematuTely
gray, it is sure sign of neglect. What
you need is a good, nourishing quinine
tonic for your hair. Dissolve one ounce
of quinine in one-half pint alcohol and
add one-half pint cold water. Rub this
we'll into your scalp twice week and
it will put new life and color into your
hair in a short time. l have found
this quinine tonic excellent for remOv-
ing dandruff, irritation of the scalp
and stopping falling hair. You will
find it splendid to use during the winter
months, as it evaporates readily. 1t
makes the hair glossy and will prove
very refreshing to the hair and scalp.
Bertha J.: You can't expect to have
a nice, rosy complexion as long as
YOU feel so lifeless and have a poor
appetite. At this time of the year
you ought to be feeling splendid and
looking your best. I strongly recon-
mend a good system tonic for you.
The one 1 always found best is made
by dissolving one-half teacupful sugar
and one ounce kardene in one-half pint
alcohol, adding enough boiling water
to make a full quart. Take table,
spoonful of this good, oldfashioned
tonic before each meal and before re-
firing. 1t will tone up your system
and do away with that tired feeling,
putting color and life into your face.
1t is fine for clearing a sallow COM
plexion, removing pimples and other
skin eruptions.
Mary E. A: have received so many
requests for reliable, greaseless COM
plexion cream that will be entirely ben
eficial and not encourage growth of
hair on the face, I will repeat the
formula: Mix one ounce of almozoin
with one-half pint cold water and add
two teaspoonfuls glycerine. Stir and
let stand for an hour or so. 1 have
never found anything to equal almozoin
Jelly as an aid to beauty. 1t is eX-
cellent for reducing. the size of large
pores in the skin, for chapped hands
and face, massaging, removing freck-
les, tan, wrinkles and blackheads. 1t
cleans the skin from all dirt and makes
1t soft and velvety. Use very little
soap on your face, as it dries out the
skin too much. This cream will
cleanse the skin much better than
soap.
E. A. w: I feel sorry for you. Where
a person is as fat as yourself, 1t must
make one feel miserable to think every
one notices your extra weight. You
can easily get rid Of your excess fat,

Tom was, of course. skeptical; but at the

and the chickens retired to roost. At this
the mans amazement showed no bounds,

tea fields of Japan and China and / know
something about them. The methods of
cultivation and curing are different there

tea Is raised in small patches. The ordi-

American garden. The tea Is raised by !
multitude of small farmers, each Of WHOM
works after his own rule and in his own

traders who go about through the tea
districts and buy up the crops. They sell
to other traders and one crop may go

to soon drink the world. Her black teas
have practically monopoized the markets
OF Europe and more of them are consumed
than of the teas exported from all other
nations. generation or so ago about the
only teas known to commerce were those
or Japan and China, The India teas are
now driving the Chinese teas out of the
markets and Japan has to rely almost en-
tirely upon the United States for the sale
OF her surplus. We drink 100000 pounds
OF tea every year. and OF this 81 600 900
pounds come from Japan and about 3S COO 600
from China We get only 5000, 900 pounds
from East India, but this amount is in
creasing from year to year. The exports
OF Indian teas are mostly to Europe They
go to Great Britain and thence to the colon
les. Some are sent to the continent and
big shipments are made to Australia and
Canada. The British are the greatest tea
drinkers OF all mankind. Their consump-
tion amounts to six or seven pounds per
head every year, while our people each
drink less than two pounds and the Rus
SLAMS less than one. The Germans and
French load themselves with coffee and
