ABSINTHE MADE IN AMERICA
The Great Variety Of Valuable Herbs
Grown in This Country

The manufacture of genuine French
absinthe Is the latest American industry.
This is guaranteed to be the real stuff,
straight from the boulevards. Franco
maniacS who frequent the cheap table
d'hote restaurants of the upper east
and west sides imbibe this stuff, which,
in an arrangement Of complicated
glasses is allowed to drip>into glass Of
water, where 1t acquires an opaque hue.
The absinthe is previously clear, light
green liquid. 1t is made from the COM
mon wormwood, which is found In many
old New England gardens, and from
which thick oil Is distilled. It has been
found, by an examination OF custom
house exports, that sixty years ago large
quantities Of this American wormwood
were exported from New York and Ver-
mont to France, where it was used in
making absinthe.
But so large has the home consump .
tion now grown that we now use all
the wormwood for our own production,
as well as five times as much, which is
imported from France and Germany.
The American wormwood is regarded
as the beet in the world. Another ex-
pensive herb that is grown here Is SAT-
from, which is worth from Sc to IS per
pound. Until quite recently the supply
of saffron came from Vermont, but Sc
we're drouth there killed most of the
plants and the price has increased in
consequence. In many Western States.
as we'll as in Mexico, it has since been
artiflcially propagated.
In Michigan there are vast fields Of
peppermint, which Is cultivated care
fully and sells for hgih price. Another
medicinal herb grown in Michigan is
sage, which Is sold at $140 per ton. in ad-
dition to which 100 tons Of sage are i'm
ported into the United States every
year at value Of $50 per ton, most of 1t
coming from Italy. In the mountains
of North Carolina and Tennessee bone
set, pennyroyal and thorn apple leaves
are cultivated, as we'll as mandrake,
blood root and black cohosh, all of which
are used in patent medicine. California
and Cape Cod are the homes of hore-
This country raises greater variety
Of medicinal herbs than any other,
producing those that grow in cold and
hot climates, as well as those that thrive
on dry mountain tops and Ia the humid
valleys. Burdock, angelica and bay
berry are some of these roots, and others
are spikenard, unicorn root, cascarilla,
cramp bark. thyme and pigeon berry
