The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-28

All tea, black, green and oolong, is the same on the bush, accord ing to Robert A. Lewis, Chase and Sanborn .Aa expert and chairman and the United States tea board. Grocers' shelves hold many kinds of tea. But before the tea is manufactured" tea is tea.
 '"Some people," says MT Lewis, 'know that there are green teas and black teas, but they think of them, bo.::nically. as entirely diff ferent species of the tea plant. This is not the case, for the tea plant, wherever if grows, Is the same. Green tea and black tea may be produced at will from the same bush, and are merely the result of manipulation in manufacture. IT, respective of the country of pro- duction, a.l leaves when plucked from the bush are green"
 Green tea is a product largely of Jaran. Immediately after picking, the green leaves are steamed to seal the pores and set the natural green color. The leaves are then dried over charcoal fires, curled and prepared for shipping. Because of the lightness of the color of green tea, many people think it is inn

Tenth OF Energy Food
 Value Lost Ln Preparation

The amount of calories required by persons in various occupations have been estimated by experts in food and in nutrition. A child one year old requires almost 1000 calories a day, nine years of age. 1000; thirteen years of age, 5000, and sixteen years of age 4,000. The average adult requires anywhere from 2.400 to 4,000 per day, de- pending on the amount of work that he may be doing.
 The best way to remember calory values is to associate them with an average portion of some common food. A slice of bread one-half inch thick and about six by three inches in dimension pro- vides 100 calories. One hundred calories are also provided by an ounce of oatmeal, one large egg, one-third of a pint of milk. large apple, banana or orange, one dozen peanuts or raisins, two ounces of beefsteak, six cubes of sugar or one shredded wheat biscuit.
 A brain worker seated at his desk uses about 2,000 calories a day. If he has to walk around much, his requirements come to 2,300 to 2,500. There was a time when the vast majority of Ameri- cans ate from $500 to 1000 cal- ories per day. That was before the coming of the machines. Now adays there are machines for doing practically every type of heavy work and these take the place of the expenditure of a muscular energy by man.

An appealing atmosphere can be lent to the simplest meal by the addition of details such details as garnishes and appetizers. It is the little things in life that count and it is the delicate touches in a meal that bring smartness.
 There is a new and delightful way to prepare attractive canapes which is less expensive than could be supposed. The idea is to cover bits of fish, egg. meat or vegetables
 -or caviar, if that is your favor ite = with a glaze of lemon-flav- ored gelatin.
 The combination of a quick setting gelatin and a few simple materials is most effective and may be prepared in short order. Merely spread combination of your choice of food materials on a shape of toast, bread or pastry. and cover it with the gelatin glaze. The

possible tc make it strong. How ever, the strength has little to do with the color, for green tea may be made to any required strength.
 India aud Ceylon supply black tea. It differs from green tea only in the process it goes through after picking. The leaves are taken to the tea factory, with cred and curled. They are then fermented, and it is this process which gives the tea it's dark or black color.
 From the island of Formosa comes the Oolong tea. It is neither black nor green but a mi-ferm ented product halfway between the other two best known kinds. China also supplies both green and black tea, while Java is coming forward in the production of black tea. All commercial va rieties of tea, such as orange Pekoe and English Breakfast, be- long in enc of the three general classes of black, green and oolong.

By DIR MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of

Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 The diet of the average Ameri- can family, including mother, and the children. It has been esti- mated that 10 per cent of the en- ergy value is lost in the prepara- tion, so that the family has to pur- chase $50 calories to get from 5000 to 3,200 calories each for adult consumption.
 In addition to selecting food to meet these needs, the one who purchases the food must consider it's seasonableness, its cost at vari- ous seasons and other variable fac- tors. It may be necessary to vary the amounts of food according to the season, with more fats and more fats and more carbohydrates during the winter and less during the summer when heat-producing foods are not so much required. This is especially true of fat meats, macaroni, rice and beans. Eggs and fresh fruits and vegetables are more easily available and more likely to be used in the summer than in the winter. Grapefruit used to be primarily a winter fruit, but is now available at all seasons.
 Canned goods which are used in in tremendous quantities by Americans are now available throughout the year, so that diet may be satisfactorily chosen from such foods at any season.
 Food may, of course, be cut down in order to provide for fuel.

Comrade ofLmc0M

Mr.. Douglas. Douglas was the recognized
leader of his party in Illinois My father had
been working increasingly for the "railsplitter,"
rs our tall Springfield friend was being called
to signify his humble early life.
The whole countryside came for the big JAM
boree. They came in wagons, on horseback and
few in carriages. The parade formed far out
of town and was two miles long.
THE next day an even greater procession
escorted Mr. lincoln into Charlestown A
similar parade was formed for Mr.. Douglas. I
don't think Mr.. Lincoln really cared for all this
triumphal procession business, for it did not
suit his nature to engage in pomp and show.
I can never forget the contrast of those two
men as they stood on the platform, surrounded
by number of dignitaries of both sides.
Mr.. Lincoln spoke first His voice carried to
the edge of the vast crowd as the people stood
there in the balmy Autumn afternoon air, in
tent on hearing all that was said In this great
battle Of the campaign in Illinois. Mr.. Douglas
answered him and tore into his statements saw
agely.
I am in no position to judge without preju-
dice, but it has been my honest conviction ever
since that day that the great majority of the
crowd felt that Lincoln won the debate. But
Lincoln lost the senatorial election.
Mr.. Lincoln went to the White House. In
the years that followed, and particularly during
the three years of warfare during which wore
the uniform, thought many times of the
joking, hearty friend of my boyhood and how
the wrinkles of his face, made by laughter, were
being deepened and crossed by the weight Of
heavy burdens srN.s aeg- "a .sv sax

RATS downstream Once he caid, he was polling
along near New Saem, and the raft needed re-
pairs. He pushed over to the bank, tied up and
walked ashore, striking out for house nearby
where he thought he might get the needed

AS he went along, he said. he heard a girl
singing. It was Gear, rrelodious voice, and he
was struck by it instantly.

better acquainted. The mere I of Ann the

many days and when back to see her many
times. 1t was just like home to me-
Mr.. Lincoln paused again. AS though he
knew was framing the question to ask him, he
resumed:
NO, didn't marry her. She was taken from
mel" He told me that she fell i'll and that he
helped take care of her as bsst he could, but to
no avail. He told me of the funeral and de-
clared that where she lay sleeping would always
be sacred to him.
The biggest political parade of my memory
was the triumphal march into Sullivan, where
Mr.. Lincoln spoke the day before his debate
with Judge Douglas at Charlestown in an adj
joining county. 1t was in the 1858 campaign.
Mr. Lincoln was running for the Senate against

the gift of tongues has come on him, and he
