MAKING THE 'MOST OF YOUR TEA
AND COFFEE QUOTA
Hello Homemakers! The rule of
thumb has been abandoned with the
• re.+tioiiing of tea` and coffee. Every
P, tea leaf and every pound of coffee
• anust now be made to count, The
new regulations 'of else Wartime Pric-
es and Trade Board allow one ounce
of tea OR four ounces of coffee (not
both) per person, per week, for those
ever 12 years of age. The tea quota
allows enough for 12 cups and the
coffee quota for 30 cups duringthe
week. In the case of coffee concen-
trates or substitutes; your ration cou-
pon will allow the purchase of a quan-
, City sufficient to make 12 cups.
There are several factors that may
snake a great difference in stretching
out your allowance—'the blend, the
grind or grad the pot, the measure-
nsentsaathe temperature of water, the
steeping and storage method.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS
]. Buy freshly ground coffee. Ask
your groper to grind it medium coarse
for boiled coffee, fine for the perco-
lator and extra fine for the drip or
vacuum. (Glass vacuum coffee -mak-
ers require .a very finely ground cof-
fee so that all the flavour is drawn
out).
2. Store in an absolutely clean
Container with a tight -fitting Yid, pre-
ferably a glass jar. Exposure to air
causes loss of flavour.
3. Keep coffee in the; lower path of
the refrigerator; ground coffeewill
keep its flavour longer in a cold at-
mosphere. Keep .tea in a dry place.
4. Measure water and tea (or cof-
fee) 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 flavoi;r.
• 5. Make only as much tea or cof-
fee 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 refrigerator to serve
as an iced drink or flavouring for a
milk shake, punch or dessert.
6. Steep tea or coffee at least five
minutes instead of the usual two min-
utes. Using a glass coffee 'maker
steeping is done by allowing the cof-
fee and water to remain in the upper
bowl for five minutes by leaving on
the warm element. This extra steep-
ing will give you good results 'from
less coffee.
7. Never fail to
the coffee maker
wash the inside'ef
or teapot scrupu-
Iously clean with baking soda and wa-
ter—using a brush for the spouts.
Any used filter bag must be thorough-
ly 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-
ciloth bag (double thickness). Use
One level tablespoon for each stand-
ard cup of wafer. Place bag in ket-
tle or coffee pot containing the re-
quired amountof boiling water. Cover
and simmer. 8 or 10 •minutes. Serve
at once. -
Coffee -Milk,
While coffee is being prepared,
scald an equal amount of milk. Pour
the coffee and hot milk together in-
to the cups in equal amount§, one pot
in each hand.
Percolated Ceffee
• Measure water 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 minutes
(timing ah•ould begin when •a slight
colour appears in water seen in glass
top).
Take a Tip
1. If you use both tea and coffee and
have two ration cards in your
home, use one card for tea and one
for coffee.
2. Black tea is made from ferment-
ing the tender tea I leaves; green
tea is unfermented tea; "orange
pekoe" refers to th size of the leaf,
not a particular flavour or grade,

An easy way to encourage .children' to take an interest in' their food is provided by the Nutrition
Color Chart published by Nutrition Services, •Department of Pensions and National Health. With tdese
charts Canadian children, like the .little girl above who obviously knows the value of drinking milk,
can keep meal scores which show whether or not they are getting sufficient calories, ;proteins, minerals

A Public Spectacle
(Winnipeg Free Press)
The reading out from the Conserv-
ative party of Hon. R. B. Hanson,
the parliamentary leader of the par-
ty; J. R. MacNicoll, the party's na-
tional chairman; and J. M. Macdon-
nel1, the most distinguished and re-
spected non -official member of the
party, by. the Toronto Globe and Mail,
is a very, revealing and highly inter-
esting
nteresting development. It .validates the
speculation which has been current
for some time that the combination
of interests of. which the Globe and
Mail is part, filling the role of public-
ity agent and character -assassin, has
decided-, to add the Conservative par-
ty to its list of properties. It was
from this, ,camp that the movement
was directed which imposed the lead-
ership of Mr. Meighen upan the party
by capturing a conference, not fully
representative, which had met for a
wholly different purpose. The tactical
mdves of the board of strategy which
has been directing the party under its
new management have been a series
of fiascos: among them the Commit-
tee on Total War, the disastrous by-
election campaign, and the Drew per-
formance in the Hong Kong enquiry,
It was apparently the • boomerang
consequences of Mr. Drew s great act
as counsel for the Conservative party
before the Hong Kong commission
which brought the exasperation of
the Globe and Mail to the point where,
it had to blow off steam. The angle
editorial with its implied slogan of
"Sack the Lot" reveals the chagrin
of the Globe and. Mail over the col-
lapse of the hopes cherished by it
and the board of strategy that here
was a club with which the govern-
ment could be soundly beaten. In
spite of `the generous contribution to
;be cause made by the government
id its ill-judged prosetut;on of Mr.
Drew, the icase as presented by the
opposition totally failed to impress
either Parliaments or the country,
while it gave the divided,Liberal forc-
es an opportunity of again presenting
a solid' front.
The exasperation of the Globe and
Mail Isuggeets that it and its fellow -
strategists do not think that the op-

Two -Week
Rubber Drive
For a two-week period commencing
Monday, August 24, rural areas of
Ontario and Qubece will resound to
shouts of "Any old rubber today?" as
country dwellers and summer resi-
dents of these provinces are asked to
hand over the scrap rubber on their
premises to local mail couriers who
will act as rubber salvage collectors
for the special rural campaign.
From August 24 to September 8,
rural mail couriers of both these pro-
vinces will pick up and bring in to
central salvage depots all scrap rub-
ber articles left at rural mailboxes
by boxholders. The drive is timed to
include Labor Day and the end of the
-summer season so vacationing resi-
than thtir hereditary opponents. For
them it would be a case of "they'd
give the lands of Deloraine, . dark
Musgrave were alive again."
CUT ONE RIR CIGARETTtS
dents can easily diepose of old rub-
ber articles which closing of camps
and cottage's will bripg to light. Farrar
dwellers are alao expected to roll out
a good supply of ru'bbeg sorap lnl,
these rural . areae wisich up to no'
haves not been conveniently reached
by regular ealvage committees.
Seriousness of the rubber situa los
in Canada and the need of rubber
scrap for reclaiming purposes meane
that every scrap rubber article, is
needed, say salvage officials. No
matter how old may be the,discarded
rubber bathing caps, astinithing tubes,
hot water bottles and fly swatters, ev-
ery scrap rubber 'boost is a knock—
at
nockat Hitler. Old tires and tubes from
cars, tracteas and motorcyeles, though
are the bikgest source of 'reclaimed
rubber. Particular emphasis is laid
or. contributing old tire easings' us-
ually used on summer docks as boat
buffers. These are wanted, and offic-
ials stress their usefulness as scrap,
no matter how Icing submerged.
A' four-page printed card •Is being
mailed to boxholders and residents,
giving the 'details of the scrap drive
as it applies to them. The card car-
ries a list of -questions and answers
on the drive, a list of every -clay art-
icles that can be salvaged for rubber
collection plus a list of the vital
needs for which scrap rubber may be
used.
City .residents receiving mail by
letter carrier are specifically excluded
from the rural post -office pick-up
service as city collections would add
too much to the task of the post of-
fice department in one drive.
LUNCH TIME SANDWICHES
Foe a really good lunch try a sand-
wich filled with meat, fish or egg,
fresh fruit, and 'a cold` milk drink.
LUNCH BOX TREATS
Try prunes or raisins for a sweet
note in the lunch box. And, of course
remember fresh fruits too.
Cheese is an important source o.8
calcium.
Green leafy vegetables' furnish gen-
erous amounts of calcium.
A pint of milk every day will sup-
ply the adult's need for calcium.
Milk dishes, cheese dishes, meat
and eggs all need to be cooked at pan
even, moderate temperature.
Use any left-o•6er water from cook-
ing vegetables to make soups, eaucee
or gravies. •
Do not add soda to vegetables when
cooking. This destroys a great deal
of the valuable vitamins.
