TEA CULTURE IN UNITED STATES

another valuable north Indian NIL
variety, and Japanese tea, character
ized here by its rather scanty yield
OF very high quality, have given good
results. with Formosa and Ceylon
varieties, from high attitudes taboye
500 feet), no convincing tests have
vet been concluded. II is clear that
SummerviIle is too cold for the Cey-
Ion plants from lower attitudes
Since this variety is great pro-
ducer, success in growing It is much
to be desired. IL is clearly demon
strated that soil and climate are ia
vorable TO the luxuriant development
OF several of the most useful varie-
ties of tea, and the production at
Summerville fully equals and, in
some cases. surpasses the produc-
tion on like areas in the Orient.
The raw material OF tea industry
may, therefore, be produced in IA
vorable parts of the south. The
plant will grow. A further expert
ment. now being carried on in
Texas, near Wharton, by the depart
ment OF agriculture, in cooperation
with A. p. Borden. Will indicate how
far success at Summerville is due
to local conditions. The American
Tea Growing company, private
concern, with which the department
Is also In cooperation, has gone into
the production OF tea commercially,

sort Is variety widely introduced

larger variety, thought to have been
produced by crossing the large-ieaf-

the Others are left far behind. AL
Azhar, "The Splendid" is the fam
GUS Mohammedan college OF divinity
and law, at Carlo, Egypt. Within Its
courts and cloisters are gathered
from all parts of the east some 20,-
600 students. under the instruction
of over 900 sheiks, or professors.
But from this IL must not be infer
red that there are chairs of every
branch of science and learning.
Quite the reverse, in fact, for the
erudite professors Of Al-Azhar con-
fine their instruction to Arabic gram
mar, logic, rhetoric, Koranic law
and theology, with sufficient astron-
omy to enable student to achieve
proficiency as timekeeper for a
mosque. That he ever does so is
perhaps a wonder, when 1t is remem-
bered that Al-Azhar still holds to 1t
that the earth is fiat. the sun moves
around It, and that the sky consists
OF seven canopies, one above the
other. Neither are the salaries of
the professors such as to tempt our
eminent men of learning to resign
their positions and hasten to AL
Azhar to rectlfy such benighted
axioms. The dean of the university
is the sheikul-Islam for Egypt, with
an endowed chair or divan of $500
per annum. Otherwise the rest of
the stan pick up what they can from

usually comes from food fermenting
on your stomach. Sometimes you
have it in the morning-that awful
sour, bilious, bad breath. You can
stop that at once by swallowing one
or two Stuart Lozenges, the most
powerful gas and odor absorbers
ever prepared.
Sometimes your meals will reveal
themselves in your breath to those
who talk with you. You've had
onions" or You've been eating cab
bage," and all of a sudden you belch
in the face of your friend. Char
coal is a wonderful absorber OF
odors, as every one knows. That is
why Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are
so quick to stop all gases and odors
of odorous foods, or gas from indi-
gestion.
Don't use breath perfumes. They
never conceal the odor, and never
absorb the gas that causes the odor.
Besides, the very fact of using them
reveals the reason for their use.
Stuart's Lozenges in the first place
stop for good all sour brash and
belching of gas, and make your
breath pure, fresh and sweet, Just
after you've eaten. Then no one will
turn his face away from you when
YOU breathe or talk; your breath will
DO pure and fresh, and besides your
food VIII taste so much better to you
at your next meal. Just try It.

things. too. 1t carries away from

A whole boxful will do no harm: in

stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made
OF pure willow charcoal and mixed
with just a faint flavor OF honey to

not too sweet. You just chew them
like candy. They are absolutely
