Engineers designed the mouth• piece of your telephone to give best results at one-quarter of an inch from the lips. When your lips are farther away, than this, your voice is transmitted less strongly less clearly. Failure to remember these simple facts accounts for the great majority of "trouble" reports. Help avoid needless service check-ups, and at the same time let those you talk to hear you without strain. Just remember: ?'alk clearly, normally, directly into the telephone, with your lips just one-quarter of an inch from the mouthpiece.

COUPON PROBLEMS AS ANSWERED BY LONDON RATION BOARD OFFICE Due Dates for Ration Coupons Coupons now due are butter 54 to 59; sugar 14 to 31; preserves Di to D18; tea -coffee 14 to 29, El to E6. T80 to T31. Butter coupons 54 to 57 expire April 30th. Sugar Not only is there no surplus of sugar in .the world today but the pre- sent supply is insufficient to meet even essential needs without• strict rationing. This is the opinion of Sir William Rook, British sugar control- ler, as expressed decently during dis- cussion with the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The sugar supply is short through- out the world, and this shortage is not due alone to the lack of shipping space. "Whatever part shipping has played 'in the past- in the need for rationing at present and for some time to come, ti all essential needs are to be met, rationing is unavoi,d- able on supply grounds," Sir William said. v Restrictions on Meat iStorage Fanners will be glad to know that if they wish to store meat in storage lockers they may do so. W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supply repres- though I'keep it in the refrigerator? Answer; The nmanufacturems I t t ' have entative for Western Ontario, explains that since the suspension of meat rationing the Wartime Prices and Trade Board is allowing farmers and others who make a practice of stor- ing meat during the summer months to continue. If meat rationing again goes–into effect those who have�foi- lowed this plan will have to -comply with whatever coupon regulations are imposed. - --v Lamb Prices Seasonal adjustment in the price of spring lamb goes into effect on May' 1st, according to an announcement by W. Harald McPhillips, prices and supply representative for Western Ontario. The new prices allow the wholesaler to sell his spring Iamb at .30e a pound. The retailers are allowed a 26% mark-up on the wholesale price.. v Seed Potatoes Supplies of seed potatoes are :suf- ficient to meet the demands for plant- ing purposes, according to an announ- cement made by W. Harold McPhillips I prices and supply representative for Western Ontario. The department of agriculture rules that certified seed potatoes may be sold only in their original con- tainers bearing the certified seed stamp. Accordingly the W. P. T. B. will' not allow the bags to be sold except. in this manner. They cannot ibe divided up for sale in small better mixing equipment for larger quani les. quantities of material. It may look curdled but a whirl with the beater will make a smooth emulsion. Itis not necessary to keep mayonnaise in a! cold place. Mrs. B. Me. suggests: Grated raw yellow turnips, is delicious in a veget- able salad. Combine it with chopped celery and serve on water erase sprigs. Mrs. W. W. says: I believe in keep- ing the coffee in a jar in the refrig- erator and T serve hot milk with hot coffee. There is more flavourand re- quires less coffee. , Anne Allan invites you to write to her % News -Record.
