FRUIT JUICES.

MEALS IN AMERICA. The use of fruit juice in the United States is so much a matter of course that Americans are surprised at the lack of it in England, states an exchange. Many people nowadays drink orange juice, and there is the tomato juice which is used for cocktails. But in the United States tomato juice is a preliminary to most meals, and a good deal is drunk at a time. For breakfast there comes with the coffee and rolls a large glass of orange juice, and sometimes another is taken in the middle of the morning. It is however, at the lunch counters that fruit juice is seen in its most extensive form. In the drug stores articularly people sit up to the counter and order their glass of fruit juice as they would order milk. There are all kinds of juice of which grape and apple are the most popular. Grape juice is largely made of the delicious little Concord grape, which when it flowers scents the garden, and when it becomes a grape still retains much of its scent. Sandwiches are bought to a fine art in the United States, and as many ingredients are used in sandwiches as in a pie in Cornwall. With a sandwich or two and a big tumbler of grape juice or apple juice, the American is often content for his mid-day meal. Young women drink juice, not only as healthgiving, but as being part of a regulation beauty culture.
