Fat and bone conservation begins at home and ends in the firing line DO YOU KNOW - One pound of fat supplies enough glycerine to fire 150 bullets from a Bren gun. Two pounds of fat will fire a burst of 20 cannon shells from a Spitfire or 10 anti- aircraft shells. Bones produce fat and aircraft glue. If we saved fat at the rate of one ounce per person per week, this would mean 36,000,000 pounds per year, enough to produce 3,600,000 pounds of glycerine for explosives. OUR FIGHTERS DEPEND ON YOU "Every householder who delivers to a retail butcher, • collector, or Salvage Committee, any rendered or unrendered fats or bones shall be' entitled to receive from the person to whom they bre delivered 4 cents per pound net weight for rendered fats, and 1 cent per pound for unrendered fats," The above parairaph is a direct quotation from Order A-642 of The Wartime Prices and Trade Board. "Rendered fat" means fat melted down and strained to remove solid matter. It includes drippings and strained pan grease resulting from the cooking of meat. "Unrendered fat" means raw or partially cooked fat free from lean meat and bone, but not fully rendered. "Bones" means raw or cooked bones of cattle, sheep and hogs, EVERY OUNCE COUNTS SAVE AND STRAIN EVERY DROP TO. SPEED VICTORY. SELL IT TO YOUR BUTCHER OR GIVE IT TO YOUR SALVAGE COMMITTEE.

As inspiration And guidance to new ways of conserv- ing, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board have now installed the well- :known Mrs, Kate Aitken as National Supervisor of Conservation for the Consumer Branch. The war on waste and needless spending will have a new meaning to homemakers. At a recent display of new frocks from old ones, we gleaned many pra- ctical ideas. Intead of stuffing that old evening dress or flannel dressing gown into the rag bag, it may be made into something useful for yourself or a growing child, To help yourself—and the war ef- fort—you, too, may consider remaking by one of the following methods: 1. Kiddies' mitts from a pair of dad's toe-holey socks. 2. Mary's felt hat 'from mother's, by trimming it down and twist- ing it around. S. Warm, durable overall and jack- et' from a discarded bathrobe, 4. Consider cutting up the worn-at- the sleeve sweater and inserting the short -sleeves and back into a dress that may have faded in the back. 5. When your trim shirtmaker dress has been stained or frayed at the armholes, make a smart jumper out of it. A blouse,may be fashioned from a man's shirt, ripped apart and re-made to eli- mate the frayed collar, etc. 6. We saw a very glamorous long- sleeved blouse which had been cut out of a striped evening dress, With or without stripes, you can just imagine the "swish:less" or crispness of those materials which have not had hard usage. 7. If a dress is too long or the collar is out of fashion, shorten the dress, make corded bows, a new belt and a hat band; take the collar off entirely and face it or bind it. 8. A black or dark coloured dress may be livened up by panelling the front with a niece of flowered material. 9. If you have an old ensemble suit still wearable, the material should be washed or dry-cleaned. Re- make as a two-piece -suit to go marketing„ in. 10, An old skirt, plain or gored, can be cut excellently into a small boy's shirt; shorts may be cut from the worn-at-the-elbows jac- ket. (Mrs. Aitken is planning to open "Re-make Centres" in many places. Anne Allan will be pleased to advise you of the centre nearest to you.) * * >k * - . TAKE A TIP: Care of Your Sewing Machine 1. If the sewing machine gets dirty or sticky as a result of using poor oil, or from long idleness, oil thoroughly with kerosene (coal oil) at all points indicated. Then run machine for a short time, wipe dry and oil carefully with sewing .machine oil. 2. Turn the "disc wheel so that the needle is down before you begin to oil;, put only 2 drops in at a time. 3. When winding the bobbin loosen the disc wheel by turning it coun- ter-clockwise, 4, Although your machine is threaded, do not attempt to. sew until you have revolved the .clisc. wheel around so that the needle goes down 'and comes back up and you can pull the end of the thread to bring up the bobbin thread, too, 0, Never operate the machine when it is threaded without having some scrap of material under the presser foot. .6. Prevent the breakage of precious steel needles by moving the din wheel so that the needle is at its highest point whenever you stop the machine. * * * 'THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. E, M, asks: Recipe for Can- teen Waffles.

INIMUI1111 Household Hints By MRS. MARY MORTON .0111 INA For that meatless dinner there are so many good dishes—some made of cheese, some of vegetables. Of course at this time of year creamed or but- tered asparagus on toast takes the place of the meat dish in many famil- ies. You can add cheese to that if you wish but, generally speaking, I don't like to mask the taste of the asparagus with any other strongly flavoured food.

She urged the branches to support the central fund, and reminded them that it is the wish of the provincial board that they continue their paitiotic work ,by pur- chasing war savings stamps. .A reso- lution adopted by the provincial board regarding temperance was brought to the attention of the delegates by the speaker, who urged all to use their influence to assure the enforcing of the laws along temperance lines. The question of raising the Feder- ation fee from 10c to 15c per member w'as introduced and after some dis- cussion the increased fee was adopted by the meeting. '• Speaker Praises War Effort Mrs. E. Hayes of Georgetown; re- presented the Department of Agricul- ture, Institutes' Branch, extended greetings f rom- that body and gave an excellent talk on the various phases of the work of the organization. Speaking of the war 'effort of the members of the Women's Institutes, she voiced the opinion that for the most part, they have dOne what came within their scope. She asserted that the prosecution of war work must come first, and added that now, with reason for more faith in the future the part the institutes play in the reconstruction era depends largely on the amount of vision the members have.. The members were urged to be more enthusiastic about their achieve- merits. Each member, according to ,Mrs. Hayes, can be a publicity agent for the organization and may boost it by, her enthusiasm or may mar its effect by a casual attitude._ • Members were reminded that they are the guardians of Canadian pioneer traditions, many of which are worthy of preservation. They were also ad- monished to lend their support to democracy on the home front, even though they were called upon to do this in many unspectacular ways, She emphasized the teed for taking a greater interest in municipal matters, and urged tile women to make Intel- ligent arse of their franchise ' and to take more interest in educational inat- tett. iii coficlusion Mrs. Hayes urged women to take active interest in every community organization,. "Community Nutrition," was decid- ed upon as the district project, It^Wat also decided to hold officers rallies at Goderich arid Belgrave. The presideht in her address' wel- comed the visiting sivalters and dele- gates, It was gratifyit4 to see so many present despite war restrictions,. She urged all„ to be true to our -obli- gations, and be true, to our motto Which is Tor Home tad Country,' with special emphasis on the' first word—the "horse" -where school be glitS. A batich cannot rite above its Many gardeners have 'the mistaken impression that pole beans require far too 'much space to be included in a small Victory garden. The truth is that pole beans are practical and profi- table in a small area because they bear more abundantly than the bush varieties and also continue to yield over a longer period. To speed up the sprouting'.of beans soak them overnight before planting, Allow plenty of water, for beans When soaked well usually swell to twice their normal size.. Drain the water off the beans about an hour before plant- ing time in order to facilitate their ,handling. After planting the beans firm the soil well over them. Keep the surface of the soil moist but not too homes. Officers Elected Mrs. E.
