ell plans to do considerable during the

place the water system in the village
on an up-to-date basis as soon as pos
sible. The idea was taken up more
than u year ago, and the village faith
ers will not be content until the whole

Lavender Oil.


As four-fifths Of the oil extracted
from lavender is concealed in the
bloom the harvest takes place just be-
fore. the flower begins to fade at the
end Of August. The oil is distilled by
means of steam, which is compelled to
penetrate the closely packed lavender,
afterward being drawn of in pipes
that run through cold water. In this
manner the steam is reconverted into
water, but the process Of passing
through the lavender has extracted the
oil, which floats on the surface Of the
water as it runs into glass jars down
below. These jars have sprouts in the
center. thus enabling the water to run
out while the Oil collects above the
level Of the exit. In this the first
stage the oil is of a brownish blue
tint, and it now has to be refined by
passing once more through water.
Thus all impurities are removed. and
the oil runs out white, save for a very
pale blue cslor similar to that observed
In paraffin. Three pounds Of oil will
make thirty gallons of the perfume.
