TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known in the
United States.

Tea, not from leaves. but from the
flowers alone Of the plant, Is rarely en-
countered In commerce. The petals.
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 infusion
rather more astringent in taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for II is an acquired one,
and even If this tea could be made
commercially possible. It is doubtful II
II 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 good quality. is not properly
utilized. In Europe II is a regular
article OF trade, and II is advertised
and sold as tea dust. In America il is
sold to thousands of cheap restau-
rants, who make from IL the mixture
OF tanic acid. sugar and boiled milk
which they sell as tea" II. as in the
orient, this dust was compressed into
bricks, good tea could be made from

of this provision means immediate
removal from office.
One of the most startling provi-
sions is the requirement that each
district headquarters shall be kept
open every day in the year from 8
a. m. to II p. m, and that a re-
sponsible person shall always be in
| charge.
Each commission is required to
make an annual report to the leg
islature.
OF the five commissioners for
each district, l shall be retired Feb.
l, 1909, another Feb. l, 1910, and so
on, the governor in each instance
appointing another incumbent for
a term of years.
The commissions are armed
with extraordinary powers for COM
peling testimony, and the produc-
| ton of such books and documents
as may be desired. If a witness
fails to attend or give the required
evidence, he may be adjudged gull
| ty of a misdemeanor.
Neither can witnesses escape by
pleading standardization. 1t is

punished for any evidence he may
be required to give, although extra
ordinary precautions are taken to
insure that this immunity shall not
extend to the corporation itself or

These commissions have author
| ity over all railroads and street
| railroads, gas and electric compan-
les, express companies and similar
public service corporations.
They can require safe and ade-
quate service at just and reason
able rates, improve facilities, pre-
vent preferential rates, false billing
and manipulation of reports, and
abolish the short haul imposition.
They can require adequate cars and
motive power, and prevent discrim-
ination against connecting roads.
They have authority over schedules
and fares, they can compel repairs
and alterations. All street railway
franchises must receive the ap-
prevail of the commission of the dis
trict, and neither franchises nor
stocks may be transferred without
the commission consent. They
can inspect gas meters and adjudge
all complaints of poor Illuminating
service. They can fix the price of
gas and electricity. In short, they
stand between the corporations ana

In the history of modern law has

utilities bill, or as it is more cor
rectly called, the public service
commissions law, passed by the
legislature, approved by Gov.

1t Is the result of that public SEN
timent which expressed itself as
emphatically tired of excessive
charges, preferential rates, poor
service and general imposition on
the part of the great public service
corporations of the state.
The bill hands these corporations
over to the came of the state, with
the injunction which amounts prac-
