Five o'clock tea has been abolished
i'm Holland. Aren't you glad you don't
live in Holland? Everything was all
right until last week. when the gov
ernment in Holland prohibited the
serving OF tea in cafes. restaurants,
tea rooms. hotels and similar places
because the stocks OF tea are dissp-
pearing fast and imports ara at a
complete cessation.
Also il sounds like the death knsil
of the douEhnut has been sounded.
We hear strange rumors to the effect

and that a ban Is about to be placed
upon its production.
The addition OF sugar or fats to the
dough in making bread or rolls, dur
ing the baking or aftervard, has all
ready been condemned by the bakers,
and so we take II that the bun goes
into the limbo OF fond recollections
until after the war. There are va
riOus other sweetened breads with
which we may have to dispense, so
far as the public bakeries are con-
Cerned. The call for the eonserva-
tion OF sugar and fats is becoming
particularly strenuous. Personally,

True. mOre's the pity. in the case of

there Is no help for It. A good many
of the comfortable little things seem
to be going out OF our lives. Compe-
tent authority has denounced pie for
breakfast, and now We are confronted
by the doughnutless breakfast. Some
OF the minor restrictions and absten-
tions of these critical times ought to
be celebrated in song.
Another queer-sounding rumor IA
that the French chemists are advocat-
ing the use of sea water in the max
ing OF bread. This not only would
save the transportation OF salt, II Is
