For primarily, beverages contain water which is as necessary to the human body as air. of Approximately the body is composed of water It is found in the muscles, in the brain tissue, in the various organs such as liver and kidneys, and even in the bones. Every cell in the body is dependent upon water for its proper functioning. two-third- s Body'i Need for Liquids This precious fluid sets as s solvent of food materials and makes possible their dir gestion and absorption.

They are effective in quenching thirst and their appetizing flavors encourage the drinking of generous amounts of water. They qlso contribute energy values to the diet in proportion to the amount of sweetening used in their preparation. Fruit juices are most frequently served as an appetizer at breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fruitades drinks are useful as be tween-meChildren and when entertaining. like to display their hospitality to friends and this type of beverage, served with a few crackers or simple cookies, makes an attractive snack.

Finally, it helps to eliminate waste products from the body through the lungs, skin and kidneys. The daily losses of water from the body must be replaced regularly or the consequences may be extremely serious to health.

First, fruit-flavor- al Guard Against Staleness The subject of coffee has been investigated from many angles by competent scientists, whose findings should be of interest to homemakers. The flavor and aroma of coffee are derived chiefly from a volatile oil, which is developed during the roasting process. But it has been established that this substance is rapidly lost from the coffee upon exposure to air. Moreover, each pound of coffee contains about two ounces of fixed oil which may become rancid in the presence of air. These changes occur whether the coffee is ground or in the bean. Since stale, flavorless coffee may have an adverse effect upon appetite, it is important to bny a product that is protected against the air, or to choose one that is freshly roasted. The homemaker should also buy coffee in small quantities so that it can be used up quickly once it is opened. After the coffee has been made, there may be a further escape of its flavor and fragrance with both heat and steam. That is why coffee should not be allowed to stand, but should be served the moment it is made, and why it should not be reheated. Tea also deteriorates when it is stored for long periods. It should therefore be bought in small quant tities and kept in air-tigh- Questions Answered Sirs. I. F. A.

Maut. Roosevelt and Secretary ot State Cordell Hull to bo deaf to the pleas of the liberals in this country. And believe it or not hatred of communism here and fear of the bear that walks like a man in England has precisely nothing to do with it! Simply stated, this mystifying logic revolves around the route from England to India and the East, via the Mediterranean sea. If you will take a good look at any fair scaled map of the Mediterranean, you will see why. Look at the narrow passage between the tip of Sicily and the projecting point of Tunis, in North Africa. Every ship going from England to India, East Africa or the Far East must traverse that narrow strait, or else the still smaller passage between Sicily and the mainland of Italy. Before the days of the World war this did not seem important. The Italians might speak of the Mediterranean as Mare Nostrum, but the British controlled both entrances, Gibraltar and the Suez canaL But with the World war came the realization of the military importance cf the submarine and the airplane and of floating mine fields. Prior to that time the British navy could assure control of the surface of the sea, and therefore of free passage for her merchant vessels and those of any other nation to which she might choose to grant passage. So Great Britain Had To Be Friendly With Italy So the British made up their minda that, come what may, they would simply have to be friendly with Italy. Little ai they might like the new attitude in that country, the conquest of Ethiopia, obvious aspirations in Africa which threatened British interests in that continent, they figured they would have to put up with it. If you will consider the strategic location of the little Italian Island of Pantelleria, just beyond the narrow passage between Sicily and Tunis, and figure in termi of submarines, airplanes and mines, you will begin to wonder if maybe the British are. not right after alL Reconciled to this, the British have turned their energies, in the last few years, to cultivating Fran- and wrist, .d0nd pattern unfailing as Vesuvius, makes a grand comeback, as he nears 70, to hia own and Comet cry body else's win.
