beef.
Among the cooked beef products boiled
and roast beef are among the more nu-
trttious because Of their greater fat con-
tent. Veal products are as a rule less
nutritious than corresponding cuts Of
beef because of their fat deficiency.
Saving the Fats.
You are urged to substitute lamb, NUT
ton or poultry for beef and pork. This
substitution in some instances will mean
decreased amount OF nutriu1ent In the
meat part OF the ration, but as a rule
this can easily be made UP by using
other supplementary foods. The nutri-
ment deficiency generally arises from a

butter or other animal oils are obtained
In some other way.
When beef ana pork products are
used. their relative high content Of fat,
especially that Of pork. raises an i'm
portant question of food economy. name
ly, the utilization Of animal fats. Beef
suet. for instance. contains about 50 per
cent. Of fat and yields 755 caiories for
100 gm.. while fat bacon shows cor
responding figures Of 81 per cent, of
fat and 646 calories. Much Of the fats
in these products are tried out in the
cooking process and should not be dis
carded.
The way in which fats are utilised in
the kitchen is an index of the cook s
efficiency. Not only should these all be
utilized. but stock pot also should be
an essential part of any kitchen equip
ment. No bones should be discarded.
These should be rendered in the stock
pot for at least II hours and II they
are more or less crushed they will yield
their Substances more readily.
Some Valuable Substitutes.
During the present war the British
army is effecting a saving of IS, ,ooo, 900
annually simply by utilizing its waste
fats, which we with our usual lavish
ness and extravagance are largely
throwing away.

Some indication of the extent Of dam
age done by insects Is to be CLEANED
from the estimated loss In New York
state In a year. In this one state alone
during the year 1913 the total loss from
insects was over $50, ooo 900. Don't put
off one day longer your battle against
insects to win the victory of a large
yield of food from your war garden.
Preserving Apples and Peaches.
Indications reported by the agricul-
tural authorities of the state of New
York tend to show that there will in
that state and in the country be a very

Diary of a Fashion Model

By GRACE THORNCLIFFE

obtains having some different touch to
it As she likes to look as near to the
latest fashion this is somsthing Of q
task. Her clothes must be fashionable
and yet they mustn't be the same
things that everybody Is wearing.
OF course, it Is always possible to ad-
just fashions 30 that they appear diff
ferent. and. indeed, this Is perhaps the
ideal Of individuality in clothes-to wear
things that are smart and fashionable
and yet have distinctly different touch
to mark individuality.
Madame had me bring out for Miss
Neirs inspection q cape that was really
different, although all its lines con-
formed to the latest decree Of fashion
regarding summer wraps
The first note OF difference In this cape
is its, unusual color, q color that would
complexion on the far side Of perfection
It is q most delicate fawn color that
falls in the softest OF lines from the
shoulder. In order to give 1t q good set
ting It is lined with black satin.
sheaths of the black satin are visible
from the opening in front aS the cape
swirls when walking, and q suggestion
of black peers out from the sleeve slit
Black silk braid edges the entire cape,
and this trimming is repeated in the col
lar and the sleeve Sits. The neck Is
fastened with a huge button Of the same
fawn-coIored cloth.
Fawn is a difficult eclor to manage.
for unless it is a solid background 1t
looks shapeless. In this case the wrap
was stunning. for It was supported by
the black satin lining, and on Miss Neips
full figure It looked superb.
Fawn, Of course. is q color which very
few slender persons can wear even II
they have faultless compilations. It is
what Madame sometimes calls q dis
appearing color. II somehow fades
right into whatever background there
happens to be. and unless the wearer is
OF large figure or OF a dominating per
sonAlity it's sure to make her appear
fraiI or insignificant.
This type of cape requires Q hat Of
stiR and rather aggressive lines. A
droopy hat would emphasize Its softness
so much that the whole ensemble Of the
cesenrne would be weakened.
The hat that goes with this costume is
q black straw toque Of stiff military
lines. The trimming Is dark wheat, and
Is finished near the brin with q narrow
strip OF brown velvet ribbon and q tiny
bow.
