FATS FOR SALVAGE -EVERY
SPOONFUL NEEDED
Hello Homemakers! .Fat provides
energy—for guns as well as diets.
Yes, the fat that provides energy for
growth and activity of the human
body also provides energy which
fires shells from guns. ,
Be very sure to use available food
fats to their fullest extent—for keep-
ing your family strong and energetic,
salvaging every spoonful left over. No
amount of fat is too little to save,
so urgent is the country's need for
glycerine. Every pound saved will pro-
duce enough glycerine to fire ten
rounds from a 50 -calibre airplane can-
non pointed at the enemy.
Two tablespoons of'fat a day is the
requirement for each adult—obtained
from cream, lard, butter, shortening,
pork trimmings or rendered fats. A
family of two needs 1 3-4 pounds of
fat per week—including buter allow-
ance (which is ample at present) and
fat for cooking. Each child under 12
years requires from 1-4 lb to nearly
a pound, depending on age and size.
Less frying and more boiling means
a snore thrifty use of fats. Meals will
be pleasantly rich and easily digested
—the kind the family enjoys. When
food needs are taken care of, strain
your•left-over fats into a wide-mouth-
ed can for salavge.
It only takes 31 tablespoons of fat
to 'snake a pound—one,tablespoon a
day for a 31 -day. month.When:a pound
has accumulated take' it to your meat

it over to a rendering plant to be
made into tallow. The tallow is sent
to soap' manufacturers, for it is in

It may be�no w
been more preached on than that mar-
vellous word "Salvation." The love of
God is something with which no oth-
er love can be compared and it is
that love' of Jesus for fallen humanity
which led our Lord to come to the
earth and die on Calvary in order
that our Salvation might be spade'
possible.
Can we, dare we doubt His word
when He offers us -this saltation free
—without any cost? A party of
friends was'once touring the British
Isles. One day they came to an old
church which they were very anxious
to see. They found the sexon and ap-

the gift as Christ offers it to us.

we wonder if those in charge really
realize what they are doing. We will
persist in saying that the times have
changed since our fathers and grand-
fathers held official positions in the
church. We will all agree that they
have changed but has Christ changed.
No, neither have His Commands given
to us in His inspired word. There' we
have no right to change His laws.
When it conies our time to answer our
call to go to Him, if we have had any
part in the lowering of His standard
we will enter His presence'with fear
and trembling. We ' may take a sym-
pathetic and 'broad minded view of'
these things as we choose to call it

collected for every half pound of but-
ter sold or used on the farm.
Dairy butter producers can obtain
"sticker-. sheets" on' which. to. stick
butter coupons from their local ra-
tion boards, if they have not already
done so. At the top of the sheet is
a place for name and address. Please
do not.fail to put your name and ad-
dress en each sheet and mail to your
nearest local ration board as soon
as possible requests Mr. McPhillips.
Arrangements are being made
whereby certain designated agencies
