TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
Naturally Sweet Tea of Western
Cllina-VaIue of Tea Dust.

Tea, not from the leaves. but from
the flowers alone of the plant, is rare
ly encountered in commerce The pet
ais, stamens, etc, are sun dried. and
the resulting tea is of a rich. deep
brown hue of peculiarly delicate odor,
and gives a pale amber-colored infu-
sion rather more astringent in taste
| than that from the average fair grade
leaf. The taste for 1t is an acquired
one, and even if this tea could be made
commercially possible it is doubtful IL
it would ever become popular
The American tea trade could adj
vantageously take a suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our
country the tea dust, some of which is
of good quality, is not properly util-
led In Europe 1t is regular article
of trade, and it is advertised and sold
as tea dust. In America it is sold to
thousands of cheap restaurants. who
make from it the mixture of tanuic
acid, sugar and boiled milk, which thev
sell as tea" If as in the orient this
dust were compressed into bricks. good
tea could be made from it. and the
product would find a ready market
through the multitude of uses for which
it is adapted. a beginning in this d.
rection has been made by the Pine
hurst tea estate in South Carolina. ana
in Europe similar advances have been
inaugurated.

end of twenty rounds, after one OF the
hardest fought contests ever witnessed

blows being exchanged that would have
put an ordinary fighter in much shorter

After the fourteenth round, however,
Lengford began to steadily gain a slight
advantage, retaining more strength than
his opponent. but the succeeding rounds
up TO and including the twentieth were
contested so bitterly by Young Peter
that many OF the spectators were IN
able to select the better man at the end.
However. TO those By the ringside. il
was plain that Jackson was the weaker

G. w. u. INDOOR
MEET PROPOSED
FOR MID WINTER

Stimulated rather than depressed bs
the probable failure to have a football
game with Georgetown on Thanksgiving
Day, the athletic authorities of George
Washington University are seriously
considering a proposition to hold a big
indoor meet in washington this winter.
There are now two meets regularly
scheduled for Washington, the Federal
Games, which was formerly the high
school meet, and is engineered ty Bill
Foley and Mike Stewart, arc the
Georgetown meet, which IS held around
the LIST of March. Both these have been
highly successful every year both IN
the way of entries and In the financial
returns
George Washington took an active
part in field and track athletics last
year, and was willing to meet anybody
at any time The track team WAS sent
TO the Washington, Richmond, and Bal
timore meets, and did finely, consider
ing its opportunities.
1t is understood that experienced ath-
letic promoters in toucn with George
Washington University have agreed 70
insure its athletic association against
loss If an indoor meet is held, and that
a goodIy number Of drawing cards can
be obtained from ether districts IL the
plan is to have an extensive meet. Moth
ing definite has been done as yet. but
those behind the scheme are confident
il will be adopted.
