British contemporary, a girl once
sang a song that asked, in the first
line of the chorus, ~ wonder if he'll

force than expression or sweetness
in fact, she was slightly of the key.
AS she finished the first stanza there
was restless shutting OF feet and a
subdued buzz of voices.
The second stanza did not add to
TO the interest, but it increased the
noise. When she reached the chorus

The Camphor Tree in China.

With the approach OF winter house
wives begin to arrange, on the cub
board shelf, various home remedies
that are so useful when the young
sters exhibit the first evidence OF
colds. You may depend on it that
"camphor" bottle will stand in the
front rank. There is nothing OF ap-
parent interest in the crystal clear
liquid except its medicinal properties,
yet in its manufacture there are sew
eral interesting facts that the average
housekeeper knows little about. The
youngsters know only that it is good
for colds, and that when compounded
with sugar on a teaspoon, the dose
contains far too little sugar in proper
ton to the camphor, ever il only drop
from the bottle is added
A great deal of the camphor used in
the United States is imported from
Japan and the Island of Formosa.
However, the camphor industry in
China is an important one in which
both family and government interests
are involved. Families are principal
ly interested in the joint ownership Of
trees. 1t is not uncommon for a fam
lily that numbers as many as two
thousand people, considering both
direct and collateral relations, to hold
an equity ownership in single
camphor tree.
Before such tree can be sold, how
ever, license must be obtained from
the central government authorities,
and also from the local officials. Az
ter permission to sell tree is secured,
the sale takes place, and the proceeds,
which average S225 for a tree, are
divided among the owners with regard
to their several equities.
Unfortunately, in China, the prac-
tce of manufacturing camphor results
in the destruction of the tree. First
the tree is felled and the trunk
chopped into small pieces or chips of
convenient size for the retortS. When
the retort is filled, water is added, and
a fire is built to carry on the simple
distillation process. The camphor
volatlizes under the action of the
steam, passes through a condenser,
usually bamboo pipe, and terminates
in a wooden tub of cool water, where
it is collected as camphor and cam
phor oils. 1t is primitive process in
China and a wasteful one, for al
though the upper branches and leaves
do not contain as much camphor as
the larger members of the tree, the
Chinese lose some Of the product
when leaves and branches are used
for fuel
Notwithstanding the primitive means
employed and the loss of part Of the
product, the average yield Of a tree is
about one-half ton of camphor-
enough to provide spirits for every
household in a large city.
Some camphor is being produced in
this country, and it is believed that
eventually American production in
Florida will suffice to take care Of do
nestle needs. Thirty-six years ago
the United States Department of Agri-
culture purchased a tract of 5000
acres near Palatka, Fla, and planted
camphor trees in long hedge rows,
This camphor farm is today a spen-
didly developed area. Hedge cuttings
are gathered once or twice year
and distilled in accordance with
modern chemical practice. BY this
method the life of the hedges is pre-
served and the product can be obtain
ed annually for many years.

HOW TO MAKE TEA.

The Chinese and Japanese, who
make the most delicious tea in the
world, always use an earthenware or
china tea pot.
Why? Because tea contains tannin.
an astringent. When boiling water
is poured over tea leaves this tannin
is released in the form of fannie acid.
The action of tannic acid on metal
produces an unwholesome drink and
an unpleasant flavor.
When making tea first scald the tea
pot, which should be china one. Then
fill the teaball, little over half a
teaspoonful of tea to a cup. put it in
the pot and pour freshly boiling water
through it AT the end of five minutes
the Infusion" has that delicate fra
GRANGE the real tea lover demands, so
out comes the tea-ball and the tea
is ready to serve
Never boil tea or let it steep too long.
If there is any special reason for
using a silver teapot make the tea
first in your everyday, earthenware
tea pot and after sca1ding the silver
one thoroughly, pour in the tea to
serve
Black teas, such as Ooolong, For
mosa, English Breakfast and so forth,
has a less stimulating effect than
green tea, and to many a sweeter
flavor.

a special meeting at the home of Pal
ace Daniels last night at 1880 o'clock.

twelve members were present, and
these enjoyed a good time. The re-
freshment committee served ice cream
