The present American lag IS de

a very Old flag, adopted at the time
OF the first Crusade. about the year

white cross upon blue field, was
also adopted in those early days.

A theater party is a group composed
of two types of people-those who
have seen the play an absurd number
of times and those who would give
anything not to see it.
The performance selected is usually
a musical comedy. This has come to
mean nowadays an entertainment hav-
ing no music and which is not comic.
The chief characteristics of a the
alter party are two suffering chap
erons, one of either sex a number
of young ladies who constantly inter-

MADE FROM LEMON GRASS
Valuable Oil That Contains an Extra,
ordinarily Large Amount of Citral
Comes From India.

There is a valuable oil made from
ter is ~Trivandrum, in ~TravancOre, 8
state in southern India. Obscurity pre-
walls aS~tO the botanical sources OF
eastern Indian lemon grass oils, but
they are generally stated to be derived
from Cymbopogon citratus and Gym.
bopogon %flexuosus. The former is a ma.
tive of Bengal and is largely cultivated
all over India, but the oil distilled in
the Malabar coast is derived principal
ly from Cymbopogon ~fexuosus. This
plant grows plentifully in T~ravancore,
especially on the slopes of the noun
tains to the north of Anjengo. The
hillsides are said to be fired in January
to burn down the old and useless grass.
Six months later the fresh crop is
ready to be cut. By that time the
countryside is dotted all owe with fur
naces and stills. During July, August,
September and October operations are
continually maintained, but there
would appear to be no second crop. In
a few cases Europeans have estab-
lished distilleries on an improved plan.
The Moplas (native gatherers) are
said to recognize 81 forms of the wild
plant, of which five only are of COM
mercial value and one is cultivated
and never flowers. The most interest
ing feature of the lemon grass oil is
the large PERCENTAGE of citral that it
contains. This has been variously
stated at 20 to 80 per cent, and infe-
rior OF adulterated samples 40 to so
per cent. 1t is employed in the manu-
facture of artificial perfumes, such as
the violet, known as %ionone, and like
all the grass oils is utilized mainly In
pertaining soaps. An important use to
which it is applied in the United States
is in the preparation of furniture pol
ish. The production of lemon grass
oil in South India on a commercial
scale is an industry of comparatively
recent growth.

Care in Tuberculosis.

Living with a case of tuberculosis
is not particularly dangerous If the
patient and those around him will ex-

paper napkins should be used for all
discharges of the nose and throat,
as well as for matter coughed up from
the lungs. Handkerchiefs should not
be used, since it is an expensive mat
