Mar- Sat- Mrs. here Fred Ladies Are Honored By Kiwanians With A Lovely Banquet The Office of War Information passed along the experts’ advice in 1 the following release: “Consumers should buy their cof fee as they need it—a pound at a time. In this way, the family wijl have fresher coffee, and the grocer will be able to supply neighbors with the coffee they require for current needs. Stale coffee does not have the strength , and flavor of fresh coffee. “Don’t use ‘heaping’ teaspoonsful but level ones. Eliminate ‘one for the pot.’ “Make only the exact amount to be served. If there is coffee left over, store it in th,e refrigerator for use as flavoring or for a cup of warmed-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.' “The coffee pot should be kept immaculately clean. It should be scrubbed with soap and water and entirely rinsed. The reason for this is that rancid oils from old coffee in the coffee pot may spoil the new brew. Birth Announcement “The closer the^e rules are follow ed the more cups to the pound will be realized and the better the cof fee will be. Coffee experts figure PITTS Mr. and Mrs. William R. Pitts an nounce the birth of a son, Tuesday, November 24, at Hays hospital. - SU T BSC RIBE TO THE CHRONICUI SAVE WITH SAFETY!
