WRITES ON
FOOD CONSERVATION
This Number of the Series
Takes UP the Question
of Mutton Fat.
BY DR.. n. 3. BARNARD
Estate Food and Drug Commissioner
written for the United Press.)

Mutton fat usually finds its way to
the garbage pail. and yet it is a rich
wholesome fat, quite as valuable a food
as butter fat or lard or beef fat. All
fats are expensive. and when, 10 a
greater extent than ever before we
must conserve them. it is time to learn
to use mutton fat successfully. One
of the easiest ways is to combine it
with other fats TO give it a stronger
and more popular flavor. One part of
bacon fat and two parts of mutton fat
melted together furnish a fat of good
flavor for frying. In baking, where but
a small amount Of shortening is neces-
sary, mutton fat may be used with ex-
cellent success. In making ginger
cakes and ginger bread. where spices
and molasses furnish the dominant

The supply of olive drab cotton
shirts to troops serving in Panama,
Hawaii, the Philippine Islands, and
Porto Rico, and also, when authori7-
ed by department commanders, 80
troops serving in the United States,
is authorized.
The issue of cotton shirts is not in
tended as a substitute for the woolen
shirts which must continue as an ar
ticle of issue for service. the character
of which renders the wearing of wool
en- shirts desirable and necessary.

soon as they can be produced with
out prejudice to other clothing re-
quirements of the Army.
Department commanders will be
the final judges of the particular post
and stations in theih respective de-
partments. where cotton shirts may
be issued to troops serving in the
United States.
