Butter bought with coupons 52 and 53 must be made to last until March 23rd, This will be no hardship for the thrifty home- maker, The elimination of meat rationing will enable folk to get ample of this heat-providing food, because now they may purchase more bacon and other pork products that contain NI lot of good fat to substitute for butter, Render at trimmings, using low heat, Cool quickly and put in a glass or enamel container. Cover and store in the upper part of the electric re- ' frigerator, Another amount of drip- ping may be added whenever fat, meat is bought. Do, however, keep differ- ent kinds of drippings in separate con- teiners—beef in one jar, pork in one jar, and chicken, duck or goose in an- other. Lamb or mutton fat is the least successful fat for re-use. When you use these Victory fats in place of butter, use two tablespoons less of the drippings per cup than of butter or other commercial shortening. Pan Broiled Bacon Place slices of bacon in a cold frying pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook slowly. Turn bacon to cook evenly. If crisp bacon is desired, our off fat as it accumulates. • Broiled Bacon Place slices of 'bacon on broiling rack. Broil ab6ut three inches from top electric element of oven.

Laundry experts say that most heavy dresses and some light weight fabrics look better if they are pressed on the wrong side. If a dress or skirt that has! not been just laundered or cleaned, is being pressed, any spots or dust should bee removed before the iron is used. A warm iron on clothes, such as these is the very best way to "fix" spots so that they are nearly im- possible to remove. A cotton seersucker should be pres- sed on the wrong side when it is al- most dry. Spun rayons and other materials with linen-like weaves should also be ironed on the wrong side while they are slightly damp. Before pressing rayons, test the iron on a seam or back part of the hem. A too-hot iron may melt rayon, Acetate rayons require low ironing temperature. Velvet, velveteen, and corduroy dresses should be occasional- ly hung in a steam-filled bathroom to freshen them. Woollens must be steam pressed 00 1041VAVERAGI Ot t-Itx01° "r SUPPLY 014 • OBTAIN THEM AT YOUR HYDRO SHOP tit d • +P.,* •- I • WillOHAM.

Bake in 2 eigh-inch layer pans in an electric oven 375°F, for about 20-25 minutes, Shamrock Cookies % cup shortening, 1 cup sugar, 2 egg yolks, 2 tablespoons milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 4 cups flour (or less), i4i teaspoon salt, 1 egg white, Green sugar crystals. Allow the shortening to stand at room temperature and then cream with the sugar and egg yolks. Add the milk and vanilla alternately with the flour and salt to make a dough stiff enough to handle. Chill thoroughly. Toss on a lightly floured board. Roll, cut with shamrock cutter, brush tops of shamrock with egg white, sprinkle with green sugar and bake in electric oven at 400°F. six to eight minutes. Green sugar is coarse granulated sugar sprinkled with one drop of green colouring. Butter Spread (Suggested by J.B.) We make one full cup of unsweet- ened custard using 1 cup of rich top milk, one or two egg, yolks and h teaspoon of salt. Cook in top of double boiler and strain. Half a cup of butter is allowed to stand at room temperature until it is soft enough to beat but not oily, then the almost cold custard is whipped into it. This makes one pound of stretched butter from half a pound of butter, Take a Tip: 1. Instead of using butter, grease pans with other mild flavoured fats. 2. Drippings from beef and pork roasts can be used in meat and 'vege- table dishes, and for pan-frying many foods. 3. Instead of using butter in cream sauces for vegetables, substitute other fats;4 Grated cheese on vegetables also will take the place of butter, 5. With baked potatoes, cut a gash in the top and squeeze open--put but- ter On when served. 6. If crusts are to be cut off bread for sandwiches, this should be done IRONING POINTERS THE QUESTION BOX WORTH RECALLING e. before buttering. * * Mrs. J. S. asks; How do you ren- der fat without it spattering over the range? Answer: We render or try out fat by putting it in a deep pan and placing it over low heat for some time. Or you may render it in the top part of a double boiler. Pieces of potato heated with the fat will absorb some of the flavour and make the natural taste less strong. Mrs. M. C. says: Since we can't get as much butter as usual, what can• I use to furnish Vitamin A in the menus? Answer: Vitamin A found in butter is also found •in other sources. Serve grated raw carrots or raw beets moistened with mayonnaise. Liver contains much of this important vita- min; and children who take a teaspoon of cod liver oil daily, receive an ade- quate amount. * * * Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Advance-Times.

Half Million Belgian Children May Die This Year From Starvation, Disease, Says Official Belgian officials estimate that 20% of Belgium's population will perish by the end of this year, • Of the children alone this may mean nearly half a million dead. They will die of star- vation and disease ,for their Poor undernourished bodies will be too weak to resist the insidious advances of tuberculosis, aenernia, scurvy, and. typhus. Tuberculosis has increased already 800% and there are no medical supplies with which to combat it, Belgium is not so slowly becoming a vast graveyard and it is the heroic women of Belgium -who have to carry the whole weight of the critical situ- ation. Their men imprisoned, execu- ted, sent to labour camps in Germany, the womee are left, as one report says, "to mourn the dead, await the prison- ers and comfort the living". What comfort can they give their starving families? The food situation is al- most as bad as it is in Greece. Ac- cording to official rationing, the Ger- Mans - are now allowing about 1,200 calories per person a day, but this rationing is theoretical and the Ger- mans admit it, The minimum number of calories for health by Canadian standards is 2,300. To have to line up for black bread, Shivering with cold in the bleak hours of the early morning is not an enviable lot, but its alternative for Belgian wo- men is no food at all, The situation is so serious that in one province Bel- gian women risk death to carry the black flag of revolt through the streets of their cities. According to German reports, this irregular situ- ation will be dealt "with.. Even in the winter of 1941 the coal shortage was so bad that in the poorer districts of Brussels. women were forced to see their children die of told as well as hunger. Many women were unable to obtain ,enough fuel to cook What meagre amounts of food they had been able to find. Schools were obliged to close and children froze to death in their beds, .Other women have been forced to send their children out to beg. The sight of a pathetic little five year old, with great hungry eyes, lisping for bread at a railway station or cafe must indeed wring a mother's heart, But as well as death by hunger and cold there has also been death by cold steel for Belgian children. Cases of deliberate murder by German, soldiers are on record, A ten year old, for shouting "Dirty German" was shot by a Ger- mansentry; a seven year old killed by another while playing on a railway bridge near his home. The report states that his father was given per- mission to remove the dead body of his son, BLOODSTONE FOR IVIARCI-1 At the Royal Ontario Museum we found that helietrope or bloodstone is an opaque dark-green stone with blood-red spots, It is a variety of quartz which occurs largely in India, Siberia and the Hebtides. Though ohce commonly cut into charms and amulets, its chief use- today is in signet rings. Centuries ago bloodstone was be- lieved to have very trmistial powers,— it could invoke thunder, lightning, rain and tempest, or stop a nose bleed, During the Middle Ages ignorance of the art of gem engraving induced the belief that engraved stories were the work of nature, Bloodstone• was sometimes engraved 10 show the head of Christ and by design the blood-like spots appeared on the brow and face, Tints it acquired a eel-tali; religious significance. Thought must be made better, and human, life more fruitful, for the divine energy to move it onward and upward.
