Experts say color is no guide to its strength and cloudiness has no­ thing1 to do with its flavor. If you want some fun, try this ex­ periment on guests this summer: pre­ pare two pitchers of ice tea, one from a North Indian tea and the other from a Ceylon tea. Make each equally strong. The India tea almost surely will be darker than the Ceylon. Then turn your party into a "blind­ fold test,” letting your guests try to tell by taste which batch of tea has the deeper color. If cloudiness does bother you—al­ though it shouldn’t—use this simple trick: add a dash of hot water, and watch the precipitate disappear. What really does make a difference so far as strength and flavor are con­ cerned is the way you prepare iced tea. Don't forget that it should be made stronger than hot tea, because it is to be diluted. The best formula is to use two rounded teaspoonfuls of leaves for each glass, placing them in a pre-heated earthenware pot, then pouring over fresh, furiously boiling water. Time of steeping should be dictated by your taste. Most people prefer a brew from 3 to 5 minutes. The tea should then be poured hot into glasses two-thirds full of ice. No quarter-hour you ever spent will yield bigger dividends in making sum­ mer pleasant for your guests, your husband, your children—and yourself. For variety’s sake, here are three summer drinks with an iced tea base: Arab Tea Soak small bunch of mint with 14 cup sugar for an hour. Bruise mint with spoon. Add juice of 3 large or­ anges and 2 lemons. Add grated rind of 1 orange. Pour over this 3 pints fresh tea, strain and cool. Pour over ice in glasses, serve with sprig - of mint. Makes two quarts. Fruit Juice Tea Punch To 2 cups fruit juice, add 1 cup of sugar syrup and 3 cups freshly in­ fused tea. Add thinly cool, and pour over Makes 114 quarts.. Ginger Ale Tea Make 1% cups tea, spoonfuls tea leaves. Dissolve in it 1 cup sugar, add % cup orange juice, 14 cup lemon juice, 1 pint ginger ale, 1 pint club soda, few orange slices. Serve iced in punch bowl. Makes 114 quarts. Will you, Mr. Citizen, please do your share in this worthwhile cam­ paign? SALEM sliced lemon, crushed ice.

In Perfect Health at 73—Thanks to Kruschen Thirty-five years ago this -septua­ genarian was helpless with sciatica, Then he heard of Kruschen. Since that day, he has enjoyed perfect health. Here is his remarkable story: "Thirty-five years ago, I had a sev­ ere attack of sciatica, and could scarcely move for abtout six weeks. Then I started taking Kruschen — about half-a-teaspoonful every morn­ ing in hot water. In a few weeks, I got rid of the awful pain in my hips. I have never had to consult a doctor since, and am still in perfect health at 73 years of age, which I can only attribute to taking Kruschen Salts every morning.”—T.L. Most people grow old long -before their time because they neglect one vital need of health — the need of in­ ternal cleanliness. Eventually, they start the healthy Kruschen habit. Then, probably for the first time in their lives, they start getting rid, ev­ ery day, of all waste matter from the system. The result is renewed health and vigour. Ailments due to clogged systems vanish, youth returns, and life becomes really ‘worth living. should'* not be allowed, to grow over two and a half inches. ■ Ton soil often contains as many as' 'ten thousand weed seeds per cubic yard, and should only be used as top- dressing on a lawn when it is known to have come from an area which is relatively free from weeds. For the same reason farmyard manure should only be applied to turf if it has been well rotted in such a manner that all weed seeds have been killed. If weeds in close proximity to the lawn are eradicated, or at least kept from seed­ ing, another, source of infestation will have been removed. One of the most common methods of introducing weeds to a lawn is to actually sow them along with grass seed. The Department of Agriculture officially grades all lawn grass seed sold in Canada, and if only Grade No. 1 seed is purchased the buyer may feel assured that this seed is clean and thus by using it another step is taken towards obtaining a turf free from weeds.

Quick Delivery.By Betty Barclay A good dinner turneth away wrath, as every woman knows. When the man of the house seems out of sorts, an appetizing meal is better than a soft answer in restoring domestic har­ mony, and a tempting dessert is the most effective strategy of all. There’s no need of getting your temper on ragged edge by slaving overtime in the hot kitchen. Here are short cut recipes for luscious fruit cream pies that will work like magic as compli­ ment winners, These fillings, made witK sweetene'd condensed milk, need no cooking at all. Even the bride who can “scarcely boil water” can make them to perfection if she uses this magic milk because these recipes are guaranteed failure proof. Use a crumb crust that needs no baking and your pie triumph will be ready to chill in the refrigerator in less than ten minutes. 114 IB may be divided into two main classes, annuals, which Jive only one season and thus can only reappear if they produce seed; and perennial weeds which live through the winter and grow again the following season. The logical control of annual weeds is to prevent them from' seeding themselves. As soon as thew show signs of flowering, the lawn should be raked so as to raise these flow­ ering shoots off the ground. Then cut the grass with a mower fitted with a good grass-catching attachment, and destroy the cuttings. It is a good policy to rake and cut the lawn a se­ cond time, the second raking to cross the first at right angles so that all the potential seed-heads are raised up and destroyed. , If perennial weeds such as dande­ lions are present in the lawn the sur­ est method is to hand, weed the in­ fested areas, cutting the plants as far below the crown as possible. Just as soon as this hand weeding is com­ pleted, a light seeding of the bare spots created by the removal of the weeds will help to keep other weeds from becoming established. This hand weeding may have to be repeated sev­ eral times throughout tlie first sea­ son to entirely rid the land of these pests. One of the best systems of con­ trolling both annual and perennial weeds is by doing everything possible to promote a dense - and vigorous growth of turf. A dressing^, of a good complete fertilizer, applied at the rate recommended by the manufacturer, in the spring or early summer will help considerably in this regard. General­ ly it is not necessary to water a lawn every night, and in most cases one good watering a week will give much more satisfactory results than several light sprinklings. A lawn should be cut frequently but not too severely.

Educa­ tional meetings which have been at­ tended by officials, weed inspectors and interested citizens have been held in every district of Ontario. ' Weed inspectors have been told to be firm in enforcing the Weed Control Act and to use good judgment in all their dealings with the public. However, to be successful, the cam­ paign must have the enthusiastic backing of every householder and farmer, officials pointed out. Judging by the interest displayed and letters received by the Department of Agri­ culture, weeds will be fighting a los­ ing battle this year, with complete eradication the goal of the depart­ ment. One neglected patch or plant this year may lead to serious infesta­ tion next year. Careless and indiffer­ ent citizens can do much to undo all the good work of their neighbors in fighting the weed menace. A weed, inspector needs the assist- ahce of every individual. Give him your support. Make your community free of weeds. They are enemies to agriculture, public health and to the lucrative tourist business of Ontario.

A considerable number of experi­ ments have been conducted with chemical weed-killers on turf, but so far most of the results obtained have been relatively Unsuccessful. It is im­ probable that any one chemical treat­ ment will kill all the weeds and leave the turf uninjured, If chemical weed­ killers are to be applied, every spec­ ies of weed must be considered and such factors as the species of grass in the lawn, the type of soil, the rain­ fall, sunlight, etc., must be taken into account, as they all influence the ac­ tion of the chemical.
