Tomato Juice, which has place
at any meal OF the day, 10 modern
invention. It's history Is much
shorter than that Of the canned
tomato. Almost as soon as an enter
prising canner put this on the
market it began to be popular, first
as an appetizer before meal, when
it is usually highly seasoned, and
then in it's own form for breakfast
fruit.
If you plan to can tomato Juice ]
advise leaving out the seasonings,
as they tend to darken the juice,
and it is an easy matter to add
herbs and spices before serving as a
cocktail. OF course, salt is used,

The oven cooking saves stirring
and sticking. After the spices are
added stir occasionally. If these
spices are not obtainable, use whole
picking spices in bag. Then taste
when nearly thick and add a small
amount of ground spices to taste.
Do not use aluminium pans.
Apple butter may be cooked in the
oven, saving much time and trouble.
Use any recipe. Cook apples in the
oven, then after straining and add
ing other ingredients cook again in
oven. Oven cooking may be used
for any pickles or butter unless
light color Is desired.

Coffee Maxine
Methods Are
Reviewed

It's time to review coffee making
methods! During the ration period
some of us became pretty slipshod in
brewing our favorite beverage. With
many it was the case of any kind
of beverage just so that it had
coffee flavor. Now we can become
epicures again and treat this fine
product the way 1t deserves.
We can be particular about having
it freshly ground or vacuum packed
instead of being content to take
anything we can get. We will keep
it in the refrigerator after it arrives
from the market. After vacuum
can has been opened, room tenn
perature will affect its flavor. Don't
keep the coffee jar on the back of
the stove! When we make coffee
we can again measure accurately
for the strength we like. The aver
age taste demands two level table
spoons to one measuring cup of
water. OF course we will use fresh
boiling water. If coffee is to be
made by the drip method the pot
should be heated. I usually arrange
the sections around the burner where
I am boiling the water. Remember
that the water must be poured
through only once, as all the fine
flavor is taken out by the first drip
ping. OF course, drip coffee must
be served as soon as it is ready.
If you use percolator you will
also have fresh boiling water ready
and will not overlook the beverage.
If you use glass coffee maker"
you will follow directions exactly.
Whatever method you use, you will
not reheat coffee unless it is left
over and is to be used as f1avoring.
Just one more note, and this is
an important one. Be sure that the
coffee pot is scrubbed with soapy
water, using brush for the spout
after each brew. A metal pot must
not have any dark spots or stains,
as these show that coffee oils have
been absorbed by the metal.

Will some one give me the direc-

ket? I have one made by nv
mother many years ago and 1 would
like to use it for flowers, but don't
know how to make it stiff. I think
it is a sugar mixture it is dipped
into and then shaped over a large
glass or vase and allowed to dry.
I enjoy the Readers Clearing

some grand recipes. l wonder if
some one could give me a recipe for
preserved peaches, doing a small

0. P. A. BOARD RELEASES MEMORANDUM
 ON RUBBER SITUATION

The following telegram from Rub- Der Director W NJ. Jeffers to Price Administrator Brown was included in the loose-leaf Service sent to all War Price and Rationing Boards in the States in June. The suggestion was made that it be passed on to editors of local papers after June 30 as an important step in giving the public the facts of the rubber situation If the public knew the facts it was stated, people would appreciate why the boards must follow regulations so closely. The entire telegram from Jeffers fol- lows:
 'I know you and your Organiza- tion here fully realize the necessity for strict adherence to the an- nounced tire conservation regula- tions particularly during the next few months. We will be making synthetic rubber but there will in- eYitably be some delay in fabricat- ing it into passenger car tires be- cause of shortage of facilities, equip ment and manpower Reports from all over the country indicate that it will help your local Boards per form their duty in holding down mileage and thereby reducing the number of requests for new tires if the public were better informed of these facts. l hope and believe it would help all concerned to get through this critical period if you would impress upon your Boards and in turn have them advise the people in their community that all conservation measures should be strictly adhered to. We do not want to be forced to impose any new and more drastic regulations other than limiting eligibility for Grade III tires but this may have to be done if present regulations and advice does not bring the neces- sary result to tide us all over this period while we are scraping the bottom of the barrel for tires to keep essential cars in service The people should not request new tires that are not absolutely needed and all used tires should be kept in service until recapping is necessary and then recapped before asking to have them replaced with new tires I am confident that in possession of the facts the American public will cooperate to achieve our goal of keeping cars rolling. I hope that by sometime in 1914 our supply of rub Der and tires may be adequate to enable us to remove most If not all of the existing regulations.

ALLIED BOMBERS
 STRIKE BERLIN AGAIN

 In the meantime, American two engined Marauder pombers attacked enemy airfields in France and Bel gium inflicting heavy damage.
 That other destructive raids are at the moment taking place was in dicated by reports from coastal sections where observers said large formations of bombers today passed over the English Channel during the forenoon and Spitfires of the RAF joined in sweeps over north ern France which kept the skies over the Dover Strait dotted with a steady relay of planes from early morning until eventide

SICILIANS FREED FROM CAVES

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN North Africa-Dispatches from Sic- fly said today that terrified civilians have begun emerging slowly from caves cut into the living rock of Messina's hills. The Allied victory has permitted them to return to the sunlight One cave was over 100 feet high and thirty feet wide. It was found in tunnelling the hillside nearly year ago when the first bombs hit Sicily.
 Whole families made this their home through the past six months. Toward the end of the Sicilian cam paign they seldom left it's dark re- cesses.
 The cave-dwellers told stories of pain disease and misery that sur passed any fictional horrors in writ ing. During the time, with the tun- nel packed with families, 30 babies were born there, a Sicilian doctor said. Many women died in child birth, he said, as did others from shock, disease and hunger.

HaziSDeSperate As Reds Move On KharkOv
By Associated Press

LONDON-Russian troops drove within nine miles south of Kharkov today. a British radio report said, and strove to encircle the Ukranian city completely with junction of their forces fighting in the west, north and east suburbs. Moscow said the Russians firmly held the initiative. The charging Russians, rolling forward again after a three day halt, narrowed the German es- cape corridor to the southwest by the hour They left the Germans only one of Kharkov's eight rail- roads open That line leads to Kras- nograd.
 The German plight was so des- perate said the Moscow newspaper --rayda, that the German high com mand had ordered the garrison to fight to the last man and was even placing wounded convaleseents in the front line
 The capture of Zmyev, 20 miles north and Oposhnya. 70 miles west of Kharkoy frightened the Russian grip on the whole salient.
 The German comInunique. record ed from Berlin by the Associated Press said that the whole front was alive with violence. It spoke of ac- tiOn in the Lake Ladoga salient the Belgorod area, the Donets, the Mius River and the Kuban area.
