IN old English and French cook
j books. there were always in
cluded directions and techniques
for preparing countless herb and
flower teas; when the Puritan
Mothers started their little New
England gardens, they planted
the herbs from which such teas
were brewed. The French settlers
IN and around the Deep South,
too, never gave up their special
"tisanes" and herbal infusions for
the newer China teas brought
back from the Orient by the
whaling captains. Leisurely sip
ping a herb tea or "tisane" is, in
the Frenchman's opinion, the best

tea made from the stepped leaves
Of that old-fashioned plant, the
lemon verbena, a plant whose
leaves also enjoy a culinary
repute as a delicate lime-like
navoring for jellies and jams.
Mint tea deserves a special
word all Of its own for today no
other native "yarb" tea is more
popular II may be strictly
peppermint tea or that newest
combination Of alfalfa plus mint,
known popularity as "alfamint."
Brewed as tea. this alfamint
produces a clear deep green brew
which is reminiscent OF walking
over a recently moved hayfield on
a sunny day or OF the old oaken
bucket near which fresh pepper
mint grew in such abundance
that one slight breeze over their
tops smelt like a candy shop.

vidual consumers, each ana every
one Of US, to see that they don't
get away with II. Here are few
facts every Congressman should
know:
Wages were stabilized ~ Of
September Is, 1912. They weren't
stabilized at high levels, either.
The average wage for all indus
try was $40 . week, $1,000 year
IL you work so weeks. That's
5000 less than q family Of five
needs for q decent healthy stand
ard Of living. according to the
most recent official budget study.
And what has happened to food
prices since September Is. 1912 ?
The CLIO Congress Of Women's
Auxiliaries has conducted a ma
tional survey on food price In
creases since that date.
BEEF PRICES SOAR
Returns from all parts Of the
country-from mine camps and
big cities. from east and west
show the same picture. Beef prices
are up from 10 to 505-in one
company store 1909. Fresh vege-
table prices have risen from 50H
to 1000.
Department Of Labor figures
show skyrocketing increases In
seasonal vegetables. In April
1943. compared to April 1912.
potatoes were up $50, onions
89T, carrots, 27.4%, cabbage
1875, beans $40.
The President proposes to bring
food prices down to the September
level by having the government
pay subsidies to producers and
professors of food where that Is
necessary to meet increased costs
Of production.

lean about government subsidies
The very Congressman who are
blasting them now have voted sub
sides for years to keep prices at
cotton and corn and silver up
It's only when subsidies are
proposed to keep butter and meat
and coffee prices down that they
attack subsidies. What they're
really afraid Of is that the sub.
sidy program may make price
control work as Il has In Britain.
In England they've paid subsidies
to keep food costs down for two
years. Why? Because they recor-
nize that the health Of the civilian
population Is vital to winning tina
war and proper food is essential
to health.
As q result the increase In liv-
Ing costs I'm Britain In the last
two years has been II Of one per-
cent, while In the United States
living costs have risen 2I%-
even by Department Of Labor
figures-since January 1941.
The result. plainly and simply.
is that many American workers
aren't getting enough to eat. That
in turn, means that they aren't
doing their best work on the pro-
duction lines. And that means that
we aren't getting top production
for Victory.
1t isn't hard to see how serious
that Is now, when every day brings
the European offensive nearer.
The drive against the Presidents
program of subsidies to bring food
prices down and keep them steady
is in fact a drive against a quick
victory over Hitler. We've got to
make our Congressman understand
that and vote to support the SUBJ
sldy program.

Queer Ethics

Indepently of the technical find
ings Of the rationing board, the
question may we'll be raised as to
the propriety of high OPA official
taking advantage Of the loopholes
Of OPA regulations to get large
amounts OF food denied to the rest
Of US.
Several years ago II was re-
vealed that the income tax regu-
ltai0ns were so loosely drawn that
mllli0nalres could escape pay
ments OF taxes by incorporating
their yachts and personal estates.
But no official Of the Treasury
used his inside knowledge of the
regulations to indulge In this
type Of tax evasion.
The Qulsling situation inside OF
OPA adds TO the need for firm
labor pressure. not only on Con.
gress as was suggested last week,
but also on the top war agencies
that supervise the OPA.
The Roosevelt Administration
has made q commitment to en-
force price control, to roll back
prices and TO carry through sub
sides. Labor insists that this
commitment be hOnOred.
