tions made of the urine. During this
period a gallon of tea was drunk by
the subject in every twenty four hours
No i'll effects Of any kind could be
discovered
Then, for the same period, the same
quantities We're given to other healthy
persons. 1t was soon established that
gallon of tea daily did not in the
least alter the good health OF normal
body. The next step was to try tea
IN the cases of men and women who
were not well. At first only those
whose health was slightly "off color"
were given the tea AS the research
progressed, with results uniformly
harmless 10 the subjects, Japanese
brewed tea was given to men and
women in very low physical condition.
If there was any harmful effect from
this free drinking of tea il could not
be discovered; all these i'll ones re-
covered their health as readily as
though they had not drunk tea at all.
1t was also established. by numerous
experiments on several persons, that no
slavish habit of tea drinking was
formed Several subjects left off their
tea for periods OF from one day TO a
week without feeling any cravings for
the withheld beverage.
To learn what stimulating effect, II
any, lay in the tea, a sphygmomanome
ter was used. This instrument records
the arterial pressure of the blood and
detects any increase or decrease In that
pressure. The human subject was
placed in recumbent position and the
arterial pressure ascertained. Then,
every five minutes a cup Of tea was
given until six in all had been taken.
The instrument was frequently used
during and after this tea drinking
bout yet only the most trltlng in
creases In arterial tension were noted.
The increases were, In fact, so insigni-
ficant as to create the belief that they
were wholly due TO the taking up Of
water into the blood from the intestine,
thus temporarily increasing the amount
Of fluid I'm the arteries. Subsequent
tests, using water In the place of tea.

That tea prepared In this fashion
may be drunk freely by anyone Is the
writer's conviction, based upon expert
ments that attacked the problem from
all sides.
What about the caffein and tannin
referred TO in tho beginning Of this
article? The chemistry of tea has not
been studied as thoroughly as could be
desired. Yet many pharmacologists
and psychologists have concluded that
the drug (alkaloid) in tea is thein. not
caffein. Them according TO these au-
thorities, affects only the sensory
nerves; while, on the other hand, the
caffein of the coffee affects the motor
nerves, in this latter instance giving
rise TO various nervous manifestations.
The writer is wholly of the belief that
the allxaloid in tea is them. not caffein.
and that tea, properly infused. Is not u
stimulant in the sense that coffee is.
II follows that, I'm a lightly brewed tea
that has not had time to dissolve out n
large proportion Of the them, this aka
loid is not to be regarded as harmful
Now as TO the tannin. In samples
brewed by American methods the
writer has frequently found tannln to
the amount of fiye hundred milligrams
to the liter; I'm some especially VIII
lainous brews as high as eight hum
dred milligrams. In tea prepared in
the japanese way from good leaf the
tannin does not go aboye seventy-five
milligrams to the liter; that is. sew
enty-five parts of tannin in million
parts of tea infusion. This gives a
tea so weak in tannin that 1t cannot
trouble digestion or nerves From five
to eight hundred parts OF tannin in
the million parts OF tea. on the other
hand, are calculated in sufficient time,
to wreck an efficient human organiza-
tion.

Then tea brewed according to Japanese
methods was tried, with wholly differ
ent results. An ordinary Japanese
way OF making tea infusion is to
next pouring II over the leaves in a
teapot. The pot is covered and al
lowed to stand for from a minute and
a half to two minutes. Then the tea
Is strained away from the leaves into
second pot.
Most American housewives allow
the leaves TO remain with the brew, and
in time become so addicted to this
strong, rather poisonous infusion that
they declare the last cup TO be "tho
>best of ALL" Even more thoughtful
housewives, who strain the infusion
from the leaves, allow a stepping OF
from five TO seven minutes, thus pro-
ducing a tea without the delicate
aroma belonging to that beverage.
For convenience the writer adapted
the Japanese way of brewing tea in
tiIis wise; Nearly all kitchen goods
stores sell tea balls. These are either
OF sheet metal or of wire, with aper-
lures or meshes allowing the passage
of water through the ball. In one Of
thes6n balls, two teaspoons OF tea leaves
are placed. and the ball closed and
nine cupfuls. Boiling water is poured
over and the pot covered during tho
