English Town Has Distilled Flowers
and Sent Extract All Over
World for Many Years.

London.-One of the minor har-
vests that promises we'll is that of the
lavender fields. Some fourishing
crops are to be seen in the Hitchin
neighborhood.
Comparatively few know of this
quaint Hertfordshire town as an i'm
portant lavender growing center, yet
it has grown the sweet old herb
(Which the Romans called lavandula
when they used 1t to scent their
baths), has distilled the flowers, and
sent their extract into all parts of
the world for more than century.
The Hitchin district had less rain
and more sunshine than the London
area recently, and consequently the
long, trim rows Of lavender plants in
their dusky green look strong and
healthy They are beginning to show
their flower buds, and there is every
likelihood of an abundant yield at cut

Mr.. Perks, the modern representa-
tive of the firm of Perks & Llewellyn
who in 1890 were the pioneers here o.
lavender farming and distilling, SAID
that even this industry must be mum
bered among those which are suffer
ing from foreign competition. 1t is al
most entirely owing to the importation
of cheap French oil of lavender tina
the area under the crop, at least II
this neighborhood, is gradually de

"The reason is that Hitchin has al

The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the

woman says:

"Then a friend finally, after much

which was his usual gait and started
off down the dimly lighted corridor at

The ten men behind him thought he
was running away, and they started
after him. Into the next chamber they
followed him, and just as they
reached it there was rumble, a roar
and a crash behind them. The ROOT

would have been buried under tons
of rock.
Pete's ears, keener than theirs, ha(
heard the warning sound and he hat
led them to safety.
In the 25 years that Pete ha;
worked in the mine he has been 6,25'
days below ground. Fifty days il
each year he worked on the surface
hauling timbers and rubbish.
While in the mine he travelled al
average of four miles day, the tota
distance which he covered being 25
900 miles. Had he stayed abov
ground and followed his nose he woul
have gone around the earth in tina
time.
He hauled an average of five ton
of coal a day, total of 81, $50 tons, q
7O,312,250 pounds. At the st. LOU
market price of three dollars to
