Ration Minimum It was understood that the one- ounce ration was. a minttum, an- nounced Aug. 2 after consideration of the stocks 'on hand and the shipping situation. Had the ration not been set low, stocks on hand would have been dopleted rapidly without any certainty of their being replaced for a considerable JO, SSPE "It was considered best to sot the ration low to spin out supplies in sight as equitably as possible and make upward adjustments later if new arrivals made this possible," one official said. "Tho rationing of tea could not be accomplished without the ra- tioning of coffee because the dit- ficulty in obtaining - the normal supplies of tea would have placed an Intolerable burden on coltes stocks as buyers sought the more accoptable substitute. "But while coffee has been ob- tained closer to homo than the tea taken from India and Ceylon, is" procurement is not without difficulty and it docs not follow that increases in the coffee ration are any moro probable than those for tea." Australia Ships Processed Meat Britain Orders 25,000 Tons Of Dehydrated Mutton Following the success of an ex- perimental shipment to the United Kingdom, the British Government has cabled an order to Australia for 25,000 tons of dehydrated mut- ton, which is the equivalent of 10 million sheep. Development of this .new indus- try will be of tremendous impor- tance to Australian graziers. It will provide an outlet for 12 mil- lion aged sheep which are allow- ed to die cach year because it is not profitable to send them to the market for fresh mutton. . eeemeeUrtherinore;-- twill provide =a highly concentrated foodstuff that will solve shipping difficulties and enable the United Kingdom to. gel vast quantities of processed nreat that will keep indefinitely. Ex- periments jn Australia have proy- ed that dehydrated mutton will keep for six weeks without any covering whatever, and in_ sealed drums it can be stored indefinitely without refrigeration. Dehydration reduces the weight of tho sheep by 6% times. The "process ia comparatively simple. The sheep used are those of tin: ner quality, or what is known as good store sheep. But even very poor sheep can bo used provided] they are healthy and are ,mixed with a reasonable proportion of fat sheep. About 35 percent of fat is required to obtain the best re- sults in processing, Dehydrated mutton is a nutri tious product, and its development i8 regarded as one of the most important that has occurred in the past century. However, it prob- ably will take two years or more develop the Industry to the extent necesasry to supply 25,000 tons a year to Great /Britain.

Even the simplest salad can be thrilling, for greens -- nothing but greens simply and cleverly dressed--can have a very fine appeal. Always have your lettuce, cress, celery and radishes as crisp as your best starched pinafore and as cold as the refrigerator can vice you should be able to give every salad a character and every time you make them they can be different. i The Seasoning The real art of salad making is in the seasoning. Always test carefully, when "assembling your salad, and touch up your flavors according to your own individual tastes.
