Bulgarian Minister Panaretoff, in a

extending 100 miles to the west of
Constantinop1e. Adrianople and the

moved by rubbing with soap and
laying the garment in the sun.
Iodine from dnen.-To remove
iodine from linen soak the stain
with sweet milk. occasionally rub

Alcohol is also considered very
good for white materials. Another
method is to dissolve two drains of
hyposulphite of soda in half a
tumbler of water and soak the stain
well in the solution. then wash very
we'll in water. Iodine stains come
out easily with chloroform. or the
cloth may be rubbed with petrol.
Paint from Colored Material. -

terial dip the stain in turpentine
and rub. then place it in a little
ammonia and again rub. TO spanify
the oil Of the paint, and wash in a

Some Points
About Fats

Right along in line with the cam
paign for the conservation of food
and the elimination of waste, is the
question OF the right use of fats. The
food administration is urging all
loyal citizens to be especially care
full to avoid waste and also extrava-
CANT use of these substances. The
average housewife, if she will but
take little extra care, may con-
serve a great deal of fat in her own
Kitchen. For example, suppose she
has cooked a ham. After il is re-
moved from the kettle in which it
has been boiled. the kettle should
he set away carefully in a cold place.
Then, when the fat in the liquid has
grown cold, it will form a solid cake
over the surface. This should be
skinned off carefully, put into a
sauce pan with a little boiling wa
ter. and a piece of raw white potato,
brought TO a boil and allowed to boil
gently for , minutes or so. Set the
dish aside again until the fat has
become cold and has hardened.

der 10 dry out all that may have
remained in it. Remove the potato
also. then pour the fat into a jar
for future use. This will be found
to make a clear. white fat. which
is particularly delicious for frying
potatoes in. Drippings from beef,
pork. mutton, bacon, chickens may
be similarly clarified and used for
various purposes. A few drops of
lemon juice may be added 20 aid
in whitening the fat.
Chicken fat is said TO be particu-
larly good for shortening in cakes
When trying out chicken or goose
fat, it is thought wise to let the fat
stand over night first. in sailed
water.

School Lunches for Children
By the State Board of Health

Few indeed are the school rooms,
rural and urban. in which poorly or
even very badly nourished children
cannot be found. Many pupils are
slow" because OF wrong feeding
and even lack of food. Nutrition is
fundamental for all lines of child
development. The lunch hour in all
too many Indiana schools is a wasted
opportunity and the parent Of dis
order. indigestion and general dis
comfort. Luncheons are brought
wrapped in newspaper and in tin
bu ckets or cardboard boxes. The
to-be-pitied child. sits down on the
coal box, the school steps, at his
desk or elsewhere, and hurriedly
gIlps his cold and frequently miser-
able food. He scatters fragments
about, soils his clothing, and creates
untidiness and insanitary conditions
Manners, health and morals are in

parents, teachers and school author
tiles are TO blame. The child is al
most helpless. It is a pity that SO
few parents, school authorities and
teachers. do not know and under
stand the great importance of the
proper feeding OF children. Event
ually the child is what he eats. how
much he eats and how he eats.

the New York hotels are using rye

Deep frying. as always considered

is uses up too much fat, they think.
But if the housekeeper feels that
she must indulge in deep frying.
they request her to use oils. vege-

the purpose, and then to do as little
frying as possible. For sauteing
such things as potatoes. hOminy and

HOMEMADE HAND BAG

For the woman who has limited
amount OF money for her own dress
allowance there are many things
that she can save for her own inn
mediate use to very good advantage.
For instance, an outworn handbag
frame can be saved TO advantage and
used as the basis for a silk or velvet
bag that will cost no more than the
silk or velvet with possibly a silk
tassel. The old bag should be
turned inside out and refined with
a bit Of silk and then turned right
side out again 20 be used as a basis
for the outside covering.
