have to last a long time. One way
to lengthen it's life is to start the
engine properly. The Office OF Pro-
duction Management has a sugges-
ton to offer in starting:
NEVER race the engine when It's
cold. Always allow for good warm
ing up, enough speed so the engine
doesn't die, before starting out. A
good formula is to pull the choke all
the way out. Leaving the ignition
switch OFF, depress the cluth pedal
and step on the starter. Count four
while the motor is turning over. Push
the choke in slowly to a little less
than half way out. Then turn the
ignition switch ON, step on the clutch
pedal and starter. The engine should
start at this point If 1t doesn't repeat
the process. Depressing the clutch pedal
when you step on the starter reduces
the load on your battery and makes
for easier starting.
SPICES.
Handle the spices in your cupboard
with care. Only two of them-pepper
and mustard-are plentiful. But the
others-nutmeg for your custards and
spice cakes, cloves for your hams and
pickles, cinnamon for your breakfast
toast, vanilla for your cakes and
cookies-these and many others are
likely to present a problem. They're
still available. But remember, they
come from faraway places-ZanNbar
the West Indies and other distant
points on the globe.
So be careful with that spoonful
of cinnamon. The ship that brought
it to you probably is carrying wal
supplies now and may not carry Gin.
namon or any other spice for LONG
time. Another suggestion: Better save
those nice cans with sprinkler tops
Next years supply may not come tt

SUGAR RATIONING.
To forestall a possible jolt when the
sugar rationing plan goes into effect,
the Office of Price Administration sug-
gests that housewives start sort OF
voluntary rationing system now. 1t
also urges persons who have bought up
stocks of sugar to divide with their
friends and neighbors. Few homes
are equipped to store sugar for any
length of time. Dampness, for instance
results in hardening, caking and other
spoilage.
When the rationing plan goes into
effect, each person Will be allowed tWo
pounds of sugar as a windfan. Any
amount over that will be deducted
from the rationing allowances through
the tearing of stamps from the ration
books.
HONEY BEES
Honey is going to be an important
| item in the nations diet as substi-
tute for sugar And the bees that pro-
duce it have been given special con-
sideration by the War Production
Board. All the sugar needed to keer
bees alive up to Is pounds per hive
