WIN WAR IN KITCHEN
New Slogan of the People of
Great Britain.
Bones Saved by the Housewives Are
Turned Into Munitions of
War.

London-Save that old bone; it may
kill q German.
This is the thought that flashes
through the mind of the English house
wife these days following an appeal
made to her to conserve all the old
bones<from the kitchen, that they may
be used in the manufacture of glycer-
in and then incorporated into bombs
and shells for the army in France.
The movement has the approval of the
minister of munitions.
The appeal to the housewife says
that bones will produce grease, which
yields glycerin for explosives; glue
for the making Of airplanes and bone
meal, a fertilizer which increases food
crops and thus aids in the battle
against the German submarines.
For the bones which were formerly
thrown away or burned the housewife
will receive one cent a pound from
her butcher or margarine dealer, who
in turn will receive a profit of one cent
a pound in turning them over to the
general collector, to whom a fair prof
it also is allowed.
From the enthusiastic response from
the women of England it begins TO
look as if the plan to win the war in
the kitchen will prove popular with
those unable to go to the front or
otherwise offer their services to the
governments
