The Wingham Advance-Times, 1944-01-13, Page 6L IFF ) *0.5 Presented herewith is a most use- ful and versatile frock since it can appear in one guise for afternoon wear and can be given quite a different look for gala after-dark doings. This is because the frock is wearable with or without the sheer guimpe. The front has a deep curved sweetheart neckline draped into a bow at either side for its sole decoration. The back has a narrow vertical slot to the waist. White satin and black velvet, a traditionally lo -ely combination of materials, is shown to advantage in. this two-piece "separate" costume: The blouse has old-fashioned beading at the round high : neckline and: sleeves, with black velvet ribbon run through, and spaghetti fringe from the neck. The skirt is built up high in front with a cutout V section. It fastens in back where the belt ties in a small bow. Nice from late after- noon on into the night. :„ coreoti I hteo.t.loe. et-fe YOUR.

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 keeping your family strong and ener- getic, salvaging every' spoonful left over. No amount of fat is too little to save, so urgent is the country's reed for glycerine. Every Pound ,:saved will produce enough glycerine ,to fire ten, rounds from a 50-calibre airplane cannon pointediat 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 12/x, lbs. of fat per week — including 'butter allowance (which is ample at present) and fat for cooking. Each child under 12 years requires from 1/2 lb. to nearly a pound, depending on age and size. Less frying and more boiling means a more 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 salvage. It only takes 31 tablespoons of fat to make a pound — one tablespoon a day for .a 31-day month, When a pound has accumulated take it to your meat dealer — he will pay you for it and turn it over to a rendering plant to be made into tallow, The tallow is sent to soap manufacturers, for it is in the soap-making that the glycer- ine is extracted from the fat. The glycerine, in its turn, is sent on to the explosive manufacturers — and a shell will whine its way toward the enemy with the help of your fat. It takes time to make fat into glyc- erine ,so take your tin Of fat in todaY- * ' * TAKE A TIP: What to do with your Fats 1, Save all waste cooking fats. Render pieces of fat^ meat slowly, clean out broiler pans and roast pans with a scraper or wooden spoon. 2. Pour into clean, wide-mouthed cans, such as coffee tins or lard pails. Strain fats as you pour them to re- move all foreign matter. 3. Keep fat containers, in electric re- frigerator or cool place until you hvae collected at least 1 lb. 4. Take your fat to your meat dealer, who is co-operating patriotically in this drive. He will pay 4 or 41/2 cents per pound for your dripping fats. Bones and scrap fat should also 'be taken to meat dealers. 5. You may donate fats and bones to your local Voluntary Salvage Com- mittee, if one has been organized. 6. Don't take less than 1 lb. of fat to your meat dealer; Don't take fats to meat dealers in glass or card- board containers; Don't let fats stand near heat where they will be- come rancid; Don't take fats and bones to meat dealers on.

It is most imporartt to general health and morale, as has been recog- nized by the British Government, which pays out thousands of pounds a year for its addition to all flour and bread consumed in the 'United Xing- dom. Thiamin is easily destroyed by heat and. it also dissolves in the cooking water, so one has to be very careful in the preparation and cooking of food to see that as little as possible is lost, Never throw away the water in which vegetables are cooked, It is valuable in soups and gravies. • Whole wheat bread and whole wheat cereals contain thiamin' and if you want to be sure you get sufficient of it add one or two tcaspoortsfull of wheat germ to your breakfast total, do not cook the wheat germ with the Cereal, ,but sprinkle it on top or mix it in after the cereal has been cooked.

Leaflet by Department .of Munitions and Supply Tells How Householders who heat their homes with Quebec heaters, kitchen ranges,: or circulators are going to get a lot • of good advice on how to burn soft coal, A leaflet prepared by the 1)e- Partment of ,Munitions and Supply and containing full directions on the use of bituminous coal is ,being distributed by the coal dealers in Quebec, Ontario and the Maritime provinces. In order to eke out available sup-• plies • of hard coal, householders in these' provinces lhavie been asked to take a part of their winter's supply in bituminous coal, and many people are using soft oat for the first time this year. Designed to acquaint consumers with the proper soft coal firing tech- nique, the leaflet is presented in. question and answer form.• It gives directions for everything from starting the fire to controlling dampers in order to obtain the best heating re- sults from this type of coal, I:IousehoiderS may obtain from their • dealer a copy of this leaflet, or a copy, of a furnace card, or the booklet en- titled "00 Ways to Save One Ton in , Five", which have also been prepared by the department. CANNED SALMON TO BE RATIONED Rationing Will Begin January 17th But Does Not Effect Other Canned Fish The Prides Board announced the rationing of canned salmon will begin on January 17. The announcement said salmon available will be packed in one-quart- er, one-half and one-potind tins and will' be put on coupon ration at the rate of one-quarter of a pound of sal- mon per coupon. Valid meat coupons, in ration books and cards will be bused for purchase of the commodity and 'salmon thus will become an alternative for ration- ed meats. The board said 200,000 cases of canned salmon have beeii made avail- able for the civilian market. Negotiations for the supply were made between the board,'the canners, the, British Ministry of Food and the Department of Fisheries and a portion of the 1943 pack was 'allotted for civilian consumption. Under the board's equitable distri- bution plan retailers will be supplied in proportion to the volume of canned salmon they purchased from their suppliers in 1941. Officials .-emphasized that canned, pilchards, tuna fish, herrings and sar- dines are not on the ration. CONSERVATION :CLIPS Take a Tip From Baby When scalding milk, take a tip from the directions for prepa'ring Baby's formula and- stir the milk while it is beating. If not stirred a coating of milk forms on the 'bottom and sides of the saucepan and this coating con- tains part of the precious calcium. Give it Aid When using soft coal in the furnace, the slide damper in the fire door should always be left open. The gas given off' by this type of coal must be mixed with air to burn properly. When adding fresh coal, the glowing coals should be raked to one side and the fresh coal added to the other side. A large area of glowing red coals must be left to ignite the gas from the fresh coal.

She does this each morning in all the rooms swer. Yet you do exactly that when you peel potatoes, And because the vitamins and minerals lie close to the skin you throw away an even greater proportion of these important food elements. Rubber Household Goods All ribber goods are perishable and hard to replace nowadays.

Brown hares and weasels and mottled ptarmigan (Arctic grouse) will quick- ly acquire coats as white as the snow that will blanket their homeland, Specimens of these animals in the. Royal Ontario Museum's study col- Made in Comic,. lection show various stages in this change. It is •not accomplished by some mysterious transmutation of colour in the old coat as has been supposed by some people. It comes about by the replacement of hair or feathers, a doffing of old and growing of new. Winter clothes for wildlife, unlike those of:humans, are nor"de- signed" to be revealing. The style for this year, as every year, will be strict- ly practical.
