cheese, which experiments IN the de-

food value to meat. Cottage cheese
can be made from skim milk or but
termilk which too often is wasted or
fed to animals, and its extended use
is expected to save large amount Of
meat which can be used by the Allies

NEW IDEA IN FRYING OUT SuET

When frying out suet run it through
q food chopper, it will melt in half
the time it usually takes, thus saving
fuel. Add q cup of sweet milk to
every three pounds of suet At the time
it is being tried out and there will be
no odor over the house as is mostly the
case. The milk also serves to render
the fat beautifully white and soft and
prevents it from crumbling after it
hardens. When ready to strain into
your lard pail, securely pin cheese
cloth that has been wrung out in hot
water, over the pail (use clothcspins)
have little slack in the cloth and
pour in the melted suet. Save what
ever you can not use for the table to
make into soap.

TRY BROWN SUGAR
ON YOUR STRAWBERRIES

The strawberry season is with us.
We all love the delicious fruit too.
But say, is there anyone who can, eat
strawberries without sugar? We can't
but we recently tried brown sugar in

honestly, it didn't taste bad. OF course
there is a difference, but If we are 60
ing to save sugar to help our Uncle
Sam, we must get used to lot of
things that we have never tried before.
Here is the way we went about it:
First, get the lightest brown sugar
you can, then put what you think will
be enough for the meal, into q clean
salt sack and roll over it with the roll
ing pin until all the Jumps have been
broken up, then put 1t in the -four
sitter and sift it over and over until
it presents fine. powdery appearance
Sprinkle on the berries in the usual
way. The fruit tastes better without
any cream when brown sugar is Used,
but If you must have cream also, bet

TAKING CARE OF FINE LACE

Lace is worn ON everything this
year, and where the garment is of Q
fine quality, the lace is, quite natural
", rather expensive. Now, as anyone
knows, lace costs more this year than
ever before, and since it soils and il
crushed easily, il is somewhat prob
lem to keep Il looking fresh and at
tractive without going to the expense
Of having it cleaned by q professional
Here are few suggestions that are
well worth keeping for reference, a.
they have proven very ssatisfactory.
It is possible to dry-clean ruffles OF
lace vestees that are attached to the
garment by only one side, or that is
not superimposed on the cloth, in the
following manner: Lay the dress OF
article on the table, pull out the ruffles
or vestee and put white paper under
meath them; next, sift powdered bprax
thiclly over the lace, place another
piece Of white paper over this and put
on . heavy weight q fiat iron will do)
Leave it this way for several hours.
BE SURE that the borax does not
touch the material Of the dress or il
will fade it. After removing the iron
and papers, brush very carefully and
thoroly, then press, il necessary.
Old laces that are very much soiled
can be made to look like newby steep
ing them in q solution Of white naptha
soap and warm water. Put the lace
into . stone preserving jar and pour
the warm suds over It. Set the jar
in sauce pan full Of boiling water,
and let it boil hard for one hour.
When the lace is taken from the suds,
pin 1t carefully to . soft towel or nap
Kin and rinse in warm water several
times to remove every bit Of the soap.
Let it dry while pinned, taking care to
gently pull it into shape with the
hands. Never iron real lace, as it
always flattens the threads and takes
away the new look. II yuu have tax
en- pains in pinning it and drying it
right, the lace will be as good Is ever.
In the case Of collars, cuffs, etc, it is
well to pin them on q cardboard shape
with cloth around the cardboard. In
this way, the shape Of the article is
preserved.
Cream or tan lace, that has become
faded can be recolored by letting stand
for IN hour or two in boiling coffee.
Very old and valuable lace, that has
become brown with the stains Of age,
can be renewed by sleeping in milk IN
. preserve jar placed in . pan Of boil
ing water. After the stains have been
removed, the lace should be gently
squeezed through warm soapy water.
Real lace seldom requires any stifE-
ening, but the imitation lace is oftnn
ilnpfoved by . little starch.

WOMAN'S PART IN THIS
