TEA TIPS

The taste or flavor of tea is
what countD with most ardent tea
drinkers. It has no food values
except those added to it by sugar,
and milk or lemon. The impor-
lance of tea lies in its pickup"
salue.
Many things influence the taste
a tea-the kind Of tea used, the
length Of time 1t is hrewed and
whether hard or soft water is
used.
The three main kinds Of tea
are the green or unfermented,
the oblong or semi-fermented and
the black or fermented tea, all
three can be made from the
leaves of the same tree.
After tea leaves are gathered
there are four main steps in pro-
cessing them before they are put
on the market. These steps are
drying or whitening, rolling, fer
menting ana firing. After these
steps are taken the tea is ready
to be packed for shipment.
Orange pekoe, contrary to popu-
lar belief, Goes not refer to Ell
ther the variety or the place
where the tea is grown, it refers
merely to the size of the leaf, and
gives no indication as to quality
Pekoe and orange pekoe are
black teas made from the first
and second leaves of the tea
shoot. The larger leaves are pekoe
and the smaller are orange pekoe

was the result of the appreciation
shown by the parents of the chill

efforts in placing before the school
board the data upon which the
board was easily convinced of the
need for such school in that dis

It will tell you the truth and
you can trust your newspaper with
this proviso: 1t must be operated
by men and women dedicated to
the uplift of our race, morally
and intellectually; whose reputa-

known and are above reproach;
"men who have honor and will

Don't forget: the burden of re-

shoulders of those willing to bear
it, and that very willingness makes
their shoulders stronger.
Your newspaper may look in
