Daily Sacrifice Of Butter

One sun-ray is not very power M f4is.
But by using glasses that concen-
trated the sun-ray, Alchimedes was
able to set fire to the Roman ships
during the Siege of Syracuse.
So what food one woman can save
in her home may not seem much but
the saving affected by the concen-
trated woman-power of the country
is tremendous.
To save daily one-third of an
ounce, or two level teaspoonsful of
butter for everyone in your family
may seem too infinitesimal an econo-
my to bother with, for instance. But
multiply this saving by the 100000
900 kitchens in the country, and you
will see the tremendous saving ef-
fected by the concentrated woman
power of the nation.
But to some it may seem an enig-
ma how to save even these two tea
spoonsful of butter day.
1t is better to save this amount by
substituting other fats in cooking
rather than by economizing on the
butter used on the table. While an
adult may suffer no injury from the
latter economy, butter should be CIV
en- freely to children at the table.
They require the peculiar fat sub
stance it contains for their growth
and health. Hundreds of children
abroad, especially in Poland, on a
diet which did not include proper
substitutes, have died or become per-
manently stunted in growth because
they have had to do without butter
fats for an extended period of time.
We must do our best to save the
rest of these children from a SINH
lar fate by exporting butter to
these countries in larger quantities
than ever before. The Allies are
asking for three times as much as
they did at the beginning of the war.
We can supply them this, if no
butter is used in cooking through
out the country. Already chefs and
cooks in hotels and public institu-
tions are eliminating it from their
dishes, and the up-to-date housewife
is now discovering that butter is
quite unnecessary in cooking.
If you have been in the habit OF
putting generous lump of butter
into a dish now and then, lust to
make it tasty" forego this habit.
Never serve more than one fried
dish week.
Always substitute chicken fat, or
vegetable oils for butter in cooking.
Make as little pastry as possible
and all your pies with only one
crust.
Never put both gravy and butter
on your potato.
Use peanut butter, jellies. cheese
and fruit buffers on bread for
adults instead of butter.
Do this much for the sake of saw
ing hundreds of little children from
death, or worse-a life of Stunted
growth and i'll health.
