TABLETS OF TEA.
Latent Experiment of the Agricultural
Department.,

The latest novel experiment to be made
by the Department of Agriculture Is that
of COMPRISING tea into tablets. one of
which will make delicious cup of tea, As
a result what would ordinarily make big
package of tea can by this new and unique
method be placed in space about the size
of safety match box. The tea is grown
at the departments experimental tea gar
dens at Summervile. s. C.
The department has been engaged In this
experiment for some time. and last week a
large box of sample packages Of tea tablet.
was received by Dr. Galloway, director of
the bureau Of plant industry, for inspec-
ton. Each little box Of compressed tea
contains twenty tablets about the size of
a penny, but about twice as thick They
are dark green DR.. Galloway states that
the most favorable reports have been made
by those who have tried the tablets. The
tablets are said to contain no adulterant
1t is explained that the taste of the tea
is in no way bettered by the form of tab
let's, but the chief value lies in the fact
that it is compressed and takes UP less
room.
1t has been the object of the department
for some time to find means of providing
food for the army and navy which could
be prepared in such a way as to save
space, but so far all attempts have proved
unsatisfactory 1t is now believed by the
officials of the department that these tab
lets will All not only government require
ments, but those of general merchandise
and family use.
