Peanuts for Fat.

Save fat! That is one of the slo-
gans of the food administration. And
altho our present effort is chiefly con-
centrated on saving meat, still we
want TO save fat, too.
Now, peanuts form one of the best
fat substitutes that we can get. Pea
nut oil and peanut butter can be used
in cooking and in salads and in sand
witches. And peanuts, too, can be
used in meat and fat substitute dishes
The following recipes are gathered
from woman who has given the pea
nut a prominent place in the wartime
diet:
Peanut Hash-Coarsely chop she'll
&c and skinned roasted peanuts. Mix
them with mashed potatoes, as many
as the potato will hold. To each cup
of potatoes add a large tablespoon of
peanut butter. Then put the mixture
in a creased frying pan and cook until
4 is well Drowned. The pan should
be covered until the hash is hot. 1t
may be folded like an omelet, or turn

Camouflaging Old Gowns.
The reason that a woman does not
nave to jump into shops and buy a
quantity of clothes at one time to meet
the demands of the season, is that the
dressmakers, with gracious intent have
pointed the way to a thousand and
one clever ways of Disgusting the
clothes we have,
1t might be said that with the ex-
ception of the very slim silhouette
which has come about thru the de-
mand for conservation, all other now
city in clothes is expressed thru
minor accessories. One of these is the
cape with its long. broad waistcoat
that serves as bodice: al-other is the
floating panel
The latter is used as a BACKGROUND
in the form of an attenuated cape, and
1t is also used at each side of the skirt
to take away from the possible ugli-
ness of too tight line over the hips
and knees.
Praise should be given to the float
ing panel. 1t serves a woman who

New York.-The woman who is at
tempting to look in the fashion must
take keen notice of many details. She
can do much, if she only thinks much.
1t is not necessary for her to rush into
an orgy of spring buying; she does not
have to leap from shop to shop, ex-
hausting her brain and vitality in the
effort to get suitable gowns for the
warm weather.
There is a vast amount of trickery
possible in clothes today. The word
"camouflage' has been so overworked
that one feels as tho it should
never again be used by US, and yet,
with that peculiar penetration into the
true value of a thing which is given
by the French language, no other word
seems to fit so many situations. We of
America do not know how we ever got
along without it. If there comes along
an English equivalent, we will use it

the one hand; and move everything I
that they did not absolutely need to
the feeders in the east on the other
hand. This also tended to stimulate
the production Of meats at this time.
Now We have the cumulative eff
fects to date Of three great forces,
each Of these tending 10 transform
shortage into an abundance.
Without boats, We cannot ship any
more meat abroad than we have been
shipping. 1t would be foolish to try
to keep fat cattle on the farms eating
their heads off and every day low
fat cattle will not be produced next
year. The wise thing to do is just
what Mr.. Hoover has done; open the
sluice-way and let our own people
resume their normal consumption of
meats for 60 or 90 days and so con-
sumo our temporary surplus.
II is absolutely necessary that the
present price be maintained to the
farmer and the feeder, otherwise he
may not feed and the shortage might
recur and become permanent, and a
meat famine become serious.
We are advised that this suspen-
sion OF the meatless meal and meat
less day program is temporary. !
