Four district men and thirty-six
state leaders, all trained poultry
specialists, are carrying out the de-
partment OF agriculture's program to

TO AVOID GETTING OUT OF SOAP

Buy soap intelligently. Make your own soap. Utilize bits of soap. Make your own cleaning and bleaching agents.
 These are suggestions of the com mittee on utilization and economy, State Council of Defense.
 Within the last few weeks the price of laundry soap by the box has prac- tically doubled, and indications are that it will continue to climb. Usual ly there is not a marked saving in buying soap by the box when consid- cred from the financial standpoint only. There is economy, however, in buying it in quantities and allowing it to dry. This makes it go much farther.
 A good grade of laundry soap can be made in the home from drippings, rancid oils, and fats that ordinarily are wasted. Home made laundry soap may be made by using seven pounds of solid fat and one pound of lye dis solved in eleven cups of water.
 Clarify and strain the fat and allow to harden. The fat is warmed enough to melt it and the lye solution stirred until the mixture becomes creamy mass. It is then poured into molds to harden. This makes firm soap for general kitchen use at small cost.
