new regulations of the Wartime Prices
and Trade Board allow one ounce of
tea OR four ounces of coffee (not
both) per person, per week, for those
over 12 years of age. The tea quota
allows enough for 12 cups and the
coffee quota for 30 cups during the
week, In the case of coffee concen-
trates or substitutes, your ration cou-
pon will allow the purchase of a quant-
ity sufficient to make 12 ceps.
There are several factors that may
make a great difference in stretching
out your allowance-the blend, the
grind or grade, the pot, the measure-
ments, the temperature of water, the
steeping and storage method,
* *
GENERAL DIRECTIONS
1. Buy freshly ground coffee. Ask
your grocer to grind it medium
coarse for boiled coffee, fine for
the percolator and extra fine for the
drip or vacuum. (Glass vacuum
coffee-makers require a very finely
ground coffee so that all the flavour
is drawn out,)
2. Store in an absolutely clean con-
tainer with a tight-fitting lid, prefer-
ably a glass jar. Exposure to air
causes loss of flavour.
3, Keep coffee in the lower part of the
electric refrigerator; ground coffee
will keep its flavour longer in a
cold atmosphere. Keep tea in a dry
place.
4. Measure water and tea (or coffee)
accurately-with a measuring spoon
and an eight-ounce measuring cup.
Bring the water to a full boil, as
actively boiling water releases the
best coffee flavour.
5. Make only as much tea or coffee
as you wish to serve. If at any
time you do have some tea or coffee
left over, store it in a covered jar
and place in the electric refrigerator
to serve as an iced drink or flavour-
ing for a milk shake, punch or des-
sert.
6, Steep tea or coffee at least 5 rains.
instead of the usual 2 mins. Using
a glass coffee maker, steeping is
done by allowing the coffee and
water to remain in the upper bowl
for 5 mins. by leaving on the warm
element. This extra steeping will
give you good results from less cof-
fee.
7. Never fail to wash the inside of the
coffee maker or teapot scrupulously
clean with baking soda and water-
'using a brush for the spout. Any
used filter bag must be thoroughly
washed; a coffee bag with the re-
mains of former coffee makings will
ruin the fresh coffee flavour.
* *
Boiled Coffee
Measure coffee into a fine cheese-
cloth bag (double thickness). Use one
level tablespoon for each standard cup
of water. Place bag in kettle or cof-
fee pot containing the required amount
of boiling water. Cover and simmer
8 or 10 mins. Serve at once.
Coffee-Milk
While coffee is being prepared
scald an equal amount of milk, Pour
the coffee and hot milk together into
the cups in equal amounts, one pot
in each hand,
Percolated Coffee
Measure pester into a clean scalded
percolator, Place basket in pot and
measure coffee into it. Cover and at-
tach electric cord, Allow water to
percolate over coffee for 10 mins.
(timing should begin when a slight
colour appears in water seen in glass
top).
Drip Coffee '
-Scald the coffee pot. Measure Cof-
fee into the upper part. Pour fresh,
friskly boiling water over coffee.
Cover and let stand on the small elec-
tric element turned to Low or Sim-
mer so coffee does not boil but the
steam makes the coffee steep longer.
* * *
TAKE A TIP
1. If you use both tea and coffee and
have 2 ration cards in your home,
use one card for tea and one for
coffee.
2. Black tea is made from fermenting
the tender tea leaves; green tea is
unfermented tea; "orange pekoe" re-
fers to the size of the leaf, not a
particular flavour or grade.

lemonade heads the beverage popu-
larity list in so many different age
groups.
Tart lemonade increases, the flow
of saliva and, according to authori-
ties, that is an explanation for its
great thins-equenching qualities.
With the curtailment of many
beverages, this year's plentiful
supply of lemons for .Old-fashioned
lemonade will come in handy. Why-
not join the throng and serve
lemonade, garnished as pictured, at
your next opportunity? For each
person to be served add 1 cup cold
water to the juice of 1 lemon and
add ice to chill.
Sweeten to taste, but keep it tart
for refreshment and health, tMailY
regularly drink plain lemon juice
mid water. Garnish with slices of
lemon attractively edged. If de-
eircd, cloves may be stuck in the
lemon, as illustrated. This gives a
navy motif to the beverage. In
making lemonade it's well to re-
member to use fresh juice •and
Plenty of it and ice enough to make
the drink truly frosty and thirst-
quenching.
Do you know why that8yET "tired

only the heat and humidity, but too
little liquid of the right kind, And,
of course, fatigue is the first sign
of vitamin C shortage. ,Npt only
must vitamin C be included in the
daily diet because it cannot be
stored in the body, but exposure
to high temperatures causes more
rapid loss of it from body tissues,
When you perspire, you are losing
vitamin C rapidly.
That's why with the first signs of
warm weather, lemonade takes its
place as a favorite "cooling drink."

ARE YOU JUST A MEMBER?
Are you an active member,
A co-operative pal?
Or are you just contented
With the pin in your lapel?
Do you take an active part
To help the work along,
Or are you satisfied to be,
The kind that just belong.
Attend the meetings often,
And help with hand and heart,
Don't be just a member,
But take an active part.
Do yon attend the meetings,
And mingle with the flock,
Or do you always stay at home
And criticize and knock?-
Do you help your fellows
To draft things out and plan,
ye to be burdened with the taters as
well."
Or leave the work to just- a few
Who do the best they can.
Just think the problem over,
You know the right from wrong,
Are you an active member,
Or do you jest belong? '
