Children under twelve years of age are not permitted a ration. This pleases nutritionists and doctors because there Is no nourishment In these beverages and their i effect as stimulants is not considered for children. It probably does not appeal to the kind of housekeeper, however, who would like to have the children's extra cou-:pons with which to buy her fam- j w r i ' A family of four, made up of two adults and two children- under twelve, can use only two ration cards. This means that the housekeeper has 10 coupons to last the five-week supply at once and she requires both tea and coffee, she 'can if she so desires take four cou-ipons and buy one pound of cof-.fee, and another four coupons and jbuy one-quarter of a pound of tea. Tnis will leave ner wim iwo coupons. With them she can either augment her coffee supply by half-a-pound, or her tea supply by two ounces one-eighth of a pound. This amount will have to last until September 8 when the permanent ration books are Issued by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The above example Is, of course, only a suggestion of how a family with two ration cards could appor tion their coupons. Naturally It Is up to everyone to do as they see fit Some people would rather buy all tea and no coffee and vice versa. One fact must be faced, however, that one ounce of tea or four ounces of coffee a week per person Is not a great deal to get along on. According to government officials the ration Is the result of dire necessity. Ships are needed for more Important things than tea and coffee. They are required to bring tanks and guns, ammunition and planes to the war fronts. Consumers are being asked to deny themselves In order to win the war. , Tomorrow sT ides (Standard Time) High 1:14 ajn. 20.5 feet 13:54 pjn. 10.3 feet Low 7:45 am. 2.0 feet 19:51 pjn. 6.1 feet -iit Riots; Stoppages Plague India Crucial PRICE- FIVE CENTS In Hour Troops Marched, in to Reinforce Police Hindu, Moslem Factional Riots Feared "Final Struggle" Against British BOMBAY, Aug. 11 (CP) Rioting, mill stoppages and police volleys fired into turbulent mobs spread wider over India today amid indications that dreaded communal riots between the Hindus and Moslems might break out to heighten the crisis.
