I The Experts say

By Kay Rel

"Rationing" remain: both an Important and dolelul word in the British vocabulary. Money is the cause of it-particularly the short- age of dollars. This prevents Brit- ain from importing anything but basic products.

Food parcels from this side of the Atlantic still thrill the British ifriend or relative who receives them.

"We used to get primes in war- time but since currency deteriorat- ed we don't. get them,” Mrs. Mary Charley of Kingston-on-Thames in England recently wrote to a rela- tive in Toronto. "Of course we get :l'.'ESh fruit in the market, apples. oranges and very cxperisive grap- es."

Bananas, she sziid. never appear in British shops, She was delight- ed with the dried apricots. prunes and pears received in a food par- cel.

The United Kinzdom Office a: Ottawa rccommcnds that cannei meat be included in food parcels. liowever this doesnt mean tins of such prepared dishes as Irish stew which contains a large proportion of vegetables and gravy. Plain Iieef in one form or another is ap- preciated. At present the bacon ration in Britain is three ounces weekly together with approximate- ly one pound of meat.

Cheese also is welcomed. prefer- Iibly Canadian cheddar with a. rind to prevent dryness.

Other suzgestions for the British ifocd parcel: Sugar. butter. short- emng. and. where there are child- rv-:n,csndy and cookies of the sweet varieties. Dried eggs also are de- airable.

U. K. officials say there aren't any desperate shortages and noth- ing is missing from the main categories of foodstuffs. However there are shortages of such items as canned salmon, cookies. dried nzgs, dried fruits. jellies and evap- orated milk. '

When packing food parcels it is rdvisable first to remember the 1 iuation of friends or relativeswho will receive the zifis. Old persons are at a disadvantage in shopping and standing in line. and often cannot. afford restaurant meals which are iinrailoncd. As the tea ration is small it iisually is a good idea to send tea to older men and women.

Housewives who do it good deal of their own cooking prnbably wlil welcome shortening. sugar and zirled eggs in their food.parcels.

Frugal fancies

The National Council of Women suggests that as another means of ruttlng down on food expenditures Canadian hoiisewives serve simpler tidbits and less variety at their teas and club meetings. After all these foods are practically always in addition to regular meals. One kind of cake should do just as ef- fectively as two or three.

Homemade pickles and relishes should add as much zest to meals as olives-which after all are im- ported. '

While the small packages of pro- :esscd cheese are easy to keep. it": more economical to buy cheese cut from the large mold. This will keep for a long time if wrapped in a cloth wrung out in vinegar. when cheese becomes dry it may be grated for use in cooking.

Q. How can I make a. glue?

A. Fill is glass jar with broken glue of the best quality; then fill

liquid

with acetic acid or vinegar. Set the jar in hot water for I few hours until the glue melts. The

result will be an excellent glue, always ready to use.

llow can I remove rain spots from a garment?

A. Place a. clean damp cloth on the material and press it with a moderately warm iron.

Q. How can I treat dry skin?

A. A very rznnd remedy is to rub the dry parts thoroughly with almond oil.

FURTHER ABUSE ON ANTA-

BUSE IN TREATMENT OF ALCOHOLISM

Most research workers on alco- holism believe that the method used by Alcoholics Anonymous to cure the pzitieiitis the best method, because the alcoholic admits his need of help and prays daily for it. There are some alcoholics who will not admit this need and stumble along as periodic drinkers. it is in these cases that the drug antabuse may be effective because antabuse gives the alcoholic chem- ical insurance against taking that nrst drink-the drink that may lead to a disastrous binge. T-bus. ntabuse builds a chemical fence around the alcoholic.

At. a meeting held under the auspices of the New York Medical Committee on Alcoholisni, the manufacturers of aiitabuse in this country reported that the drug has been tested in more than 100 cliiilcs in the United States and Canada by more than 803 qiialifled physicians and with more than 5,000 patients. "Usltlz antahuse. 50 per cent of these alcoholics have achieved permanent abstinence; another 25 per cent made basic im- provement, the condition necessary for rehabilitation."

Antabuse compels the paticiit to remain sober as long as be con- tinues to take the drug. The very fact that the alcoholic takes the drug shows that he wants to bi- cured. since he takes antzibusc and thus remains sober. the doc- tor has his real chance to discuss the matter with the patient and learn his problems. ”Excesive drinking is always a symptom of some underlying disturbance which may be medical or social or onio- tionial or. more often, all three combined.”

Having stopped the drinking. it can be learned why the patient started to drink excessively in the first place. "This can be deep psy- choanalysis. psycho or emotional treatment. group treatment, medi- cal rehabilitation, and a firm con- tact. with Alcoholics Anonymous." Antabuse is a small white tab- let taken by mouth. No reaction or symptoms occur until the patient takes even a small amount of al- cohol. The reaction then consists of intense flushing. perspiration. difficult breathing. palpitation of the heart. and nausea. Rather than undergo this sci-ere reaction. the patient ahstalns from alcohol. Treatment should be under close medical supervision and never when the patient is intoxicated or without his full knowledge.

A. When the flag in not dis- played, all present should stand and face the music. When the flag is displayed. all stand and face the flag. Those in uniform salute at the first note and retain this position until the last note. We all show the same respect to the anthem: of our allies.
