As a result of the shipping sit uation, for every four pounds of coffee the country was imnortinr a year ago, before Pearl Harbor, we ape now only getting thret pounds. In 1941 imports of greei (unroasted) coffee from Soutl and Central American coffee im ports amounted to 2 and two-tent! billion pounds. In 1942 that fig ure will be cut to one and 7 tenths billion pounds. During the five year period, 1937 through 1941, U. S. coffee drinkers—about 80 pei cent of the adult population—con sumed 21 pounds annually. Tu current ration would allow lO.’' pounds annually or just about hall the former consumption rate. Even under rationing, however Americans will drink much mon coffee than the people of Europea countries. Germany ha.s practic’' ly no real coffee. Its population imbibe.s an ersatz concoction o' acorns and grains of various sorts The Italians are even worse off As for the other countries under Axis domination, they receiv' whatever the coffee-starved Reich sees fit to spare. T;e plain fact of the situation i.s that the American population is lucky to get what coffee is be ing brought up. There are crew.'- risking their necks to sail it u[ here. There are Marines in tb- Solomons who haven’t had a cu: of coffee in a long time and amon I them some who never will agai !

"No matter how careful I was with my diet, I suffered with gas in my stomach until sometimes the pressure up against my chest was so great I simply had to gasp for breath”, continued Mr. Robinson. “I felt weak and undernourished, and 1 often had terrific headaches. I had to take such strong laxa tives for constipation, my muscles ached, and I felt so worthless I d^’t want to do anything. yh\ctonga began to relieve me riglit from the start. .My appe tite is good, and I have regained eight pounds. I sleep fine, and I don’t get fagged out. The consti pation is relieved, too. I feel that MR. t. W. ROBINSON I owe Retonga a debt of gratitude that I will never be able to repay”. Retonga is intended to relieve such symptoms when they are due to loss of appetite, insufficient flow of ga.=tric juices in the stom ach. the toxic effects of eon.stipa- tion, and Vitamin B-1 deficiency. Scores of your neighbors and friends are praising it. Accept no substitute. Retonga may be ob tained in North Wilkesboro at Horton’s Drug Store, and in Wilkesboro at Newton’s Drug Store.—Adv. Here are its mechanics'—the cof fee to be rationed includes roaste coffee—^whether ground, in the bean, or decaffeinated—and com mercialy sold mixturee of coffc with chicory, cereal, or other sub stitutes. Consumers are not pe mitted to buy green (unroaste ' coffee for home roasting. “In stant” coffee, soluble coffee, Hqu’ coffee CjOncentrates, coffee extracts and other beverages used insteat of coffee are not rationed. War Ration Book No. 1—^Th “Sugar Book”—will then be use for buying coffee. The stamps ii the hook numbered 28 and down to 20 are the coffee stamps. The first ration stamp is numbered then, in order, follow 28, 25, 2' 23, 24. 21, 22, 20. This apparentl disconnected sequence is used hr cause of the physical arrangemen’ of stamps in the ration book. Only thi)sc whose ration book' show their age to be over fifteen years old may purchase a pounh of coffee for each coffee stamn The reason for this age limitation is to' allow larger rations for the adult population. The first ration period runs foi five weeks from November 29 thn January 3, 1943. Other ration pe riods ■will bs anounced later b the OPA. Those who have no ration books or have lost them .should apply in mediately to their local War Pric and Ration Board. If lack of trans portation facilities makes buying coffee in the specified quantities a hardship, the consumer may ap ply at his rationing board for r certificate to buy up to five pounds at a time. In that case, a suff cient number of stamps will be re moved'to cover the “advance” ra tion. Shortage or not, coffee is price- controlled and no one should pa' more than the ceiling price.

Street North Wilkesboro, N. C up a set of tips for getting the mo.st out of our coffee rations. They are: Con.sumers .should buy their cof fee as they need it—a pound at a time. In this way, the family will have fresher coffee and the grocei will be able to supply neighbors with the coffee they require for current needs. Stale coffee does not have the strength and flavor o' fresh coffee. Don’t use “heaping” spoonsfu' but level ones. Eliminate “one fo; the pot”. Make only the exact amount t be sei-ved. If there is coffee left over, store it in the refrigerate for u.se as flavoring or for a cup of w.armed-over coffee. Coffee should be served as soon as it is made. The longer it cooks once it has been made, the more flavoring it loses. Don’t boil coffee. It drives off ! le flavor and aroma. Keep the coffee in a tightly co' ered container and store it in th refrigerator or some other coo' place where it will retain its fla vor longer. The coffee pot should be kep immaculately clean. It should bt Scrubbed with soap and water entirely rinsed. The reason fo this is that rancid oils from ol coffee in the coffee pet may spoi the new brew. The closer these rules are fol lowed the more cups to the pou" will be realized and tie better tl' coffee will be. Coffee experts fig ure careful brewing and measuring should get 40 cups out of each pound. Thus, the day of two cups of cof fee at breakfast or between-meal coffee-drinking is over for the im mediate future. Ft ought to bo taken in stride by a war-time pub lic, The lecent burst of panicky preparation buying and coffee hoarding—and a great deal of that coffee will grow stale long before it is drunk—was not especially heartening. Rationing, of course, will solve that particular situation. But there is always the chances that the chiselers, the bootleggers arid the runners of the black mar kets will emerge to plague this campaign as they have other Gov ernment drives. Public authorities ought to be told about them im mediately. If the public cooper ates, these racketeei-s will be ex posed. And the Government, busy waging war, is "expecting that co operation.
