SUBSTITUTE COR N
OIL FOR Lard
And FATS

Corn oil is the newest product of
corn and is now recommended as a
substitute for lard and other fats as
measure of wartime conservation.
1.-The Food Administration has ask
ed that vegetable oils be used to save
fats" said NJ. E. Landauer, of the
Corn Division, United States Food Ad-
ministra,tion 'I do not know of any
vegetable oil that I. can recommend
more highly than corn oil. 1t is
pressed from corn hearts and refined
to an edible oil of enormously high
shortening value. Comparative tests
have been made Of it's use in place of
butter, lard, olive oil, or shortening
compounds. These tests have proved
that it makes more digestible, more
economical and much richer foods
than any other cooking product. The
analysis from a nutritive standpoint
demonstrates that it combines more
nourishing qualities than butter or
any other fat.
Corn oil is much cheaper than lard,
about one-third as cheap as good but
ter and about one-half the price of
olive oil in normal times. Because
of its richness only two-thirds as
much corn oil is used for shortening
as would be used for butter or lard.
For deep frying corn oil can be
used over and over again as it does
not absorb the odor of foods cooked
in it. It may be used to fry fish and
then, after straining, to fry onions and
later some sweet delicacy. For fry
ing crullers, fish meat, and croquettes
nothing as yet has equaled corn oil.
"a matter of significance to the
housewife is that corn oil will not
smoke, with resultant bad odors, I'M
til heated to over $50 degrees Fahren-
.heit, while butter burns at ESQ de-
grees lard at 425, and cottonseed oil
at $50. When food is cooked at low
temperature. lard and other fats soak
into it making it greasy and indigest-
| ible and the flavor escapes into the
grease. In using corn oil at high
temperature the surface juices are in
stantly coagulated, sealing the food
so that no taste or smell escapes into
the oil, thereby cooking the food in
it's own juice and retaining all the fla
vor, aroma and succulence.
| "The low congealing point in corr
oil makes it very desirable for salad
dressings and condiments. Corn oil
remains fluid down to IA degrees
while other table oils solidify at 80
Corn oil is absolutely pure. It is
sterilized and purified by steaming and
filtration This steaming also de.
stroys the ferments, which would
cause rancidity and thus insures the
keeping quality.

Here Are Some Beauty
Ways to Curl Your Hair
BY LucreZia BOri
cThe Famous Spanish Prina Donna

in obtaining the natural beauty all
healthy hair should have:
Rubbing the scalp with rosewater
and glycerine will tend to renew the
gloss of the hair and also help to in
crease it's growth. Before using this
wash the hair well with good borax
soap or a solution of powdered bo-
Eax, using a weak mixture. Use this
with warm, not hot water. Rinse the
hahn well and when thoroughly dry
rub the glycerine and rosewater mix
ture well into the scalp, using it spa
ringly.
Do not use too much Of this mixture
or it will be difficult to curl the hair.
If too much has been applied rub the
hair lightly with little of the borax
solution. This seems to help renew
the color of hair that's Just turning
gray.
Cleanliness and Air.
If you want to keep your hair in
curl for some time without recurring
it try moistening it with the white of
egg when putting it up. The damp
ness doesn't affect the curl then as is
usually the case when only plain wa
ter is used
Shampoo the hair frequently dur
ing the warm weather, as it is apt to
collect much dust and thus is harder
to dress attractively. For those who
have oily hair shampoo at least ev-
cry two weeks. When cleansed fire.
quently the hair is much easier to
keep in curl than when it is allowed
to become very dusty and oily. And
when the scalp is kept clean it allows
the hair roots to breathe more free
ly, which is necessary during the hot
sultry summer days.
| Frequent airing of the hair will also
help the scalp to keep in a healthy
condition. A good sun bath will do
wonders for any ones hair, and this
simple remedy is worth more than
some hair tonics that afford tempo
Irary assistance.

HOW MANY WOMEN
WILL DO WITHOUT
WHEAT until FALL

How many Connecticut women will
go without wheat products from now
until the harvest? Miss M. Estelle
Sprague, director of Home economics
for the Food administration in Con-
necticut wants to know. She is issu-
ing through the newspapers of Con-
necticut this special appeal:
Recently a request was made by
the food administration to the women
of Connecticut through the County
Farm Bureau offices and women's or
CARNATIONS asking those who possibly
could to go without using any wheat
product for forty days.
THE reasons for the appeal are:
First, many women, who caR do
SO perfectly well, are not even keep
ing to the rule of using II pounds
of wheat per person per week.
Second, there is great need OF
wheat saving so that the supply al
lotted to the American people may be
| used by the industrial workers; the
poor who depend largely upon bread
for their main diet, and the women
| who have not the time, fuel and ma
terials to bake at home.
Third, women have expressed g
willingness to do whatever they car
and have said it is much easier tt
have some definite problem; hence
this request to play the game for forty
days.
ITO go without wheat in homes, the
members of which are financially an6
| physically able to do so, is not a hard
ship and for many housewives it il
not only a mark Of patriotism, but in
teresting study.
SCI know that very many Connect
cut housewives have used no whea
for months; that many others arr
carefully measuring out 1 y pounds
per week per person and are thu
keeping strictly to the regulations
Some housewives by definitely meas
uring their wheat flour are frequent.
using far less than the allotted amount
This is a request and not an obi
cation and women who are unwilling
to cooperate to that extent may sim
ply refrain from doing so.
Rye may be used now and al
though it is not sold as a wheat sub
stitute, if used, it saves wheat"

When pouring boiling milk or water
in a tumbler or glass dish, stand the
tumbler or glass dish on knife and
the glass will neither break or crack.
When eggs are scarce a dessert
spoonful of vinegar in little milk
added to one egg, will be equal to
three eggs for cake making.
To prevent loneliness, sponge or
other cakes should always be made
with hot water. The texture and
color of cake mixed with water is
lighter than when milk is used.

or course, the natural waves are
beautiful if they are well brushed and
not OF the kinky variety. But I think
that straight hair can be just as love-
Iy II 1t is well brushed, immaculate
and glossy.
AS matter Of fact, there are many
types of faces to which only straight
hair is suitable. If you have small,
regular features, don't go to the trou-
Die of curling your hair. Fluffy
| curls often tend to make the small
face with regular features appear
weak. Also fluffy hair attracts at
tention to itself, and thus detracts
from the magnetism which the feat
ures would otherwise exercise.
The small-featured, deIicatelv
moulded face is set off most beautiful
ly by plainly brushed hair fastened in
simple, trim knot in the back. Don't
overlook the possible value of fatIv
| brushed hair and try this method of
dressing your hair before YOU deter
mine that you must have curIs at any
price.
Here is a simple recipe for curling
the hair:
1 pound of olive oil.
l dram of oil of roganum,
IL drains of oil of rosemary.
Mix together well and apply lightly
to the hair.

PARTY FROM PETRoGRAD AND
MOSCOW REPORT BoLsHEvlk
POWER is WANING.
Starvation Has Become Prevalent in
Moscow, Peasants in the Grain
Sections Refusing to Supply
Food for Cities.

Stockholm.-The American refugees
from Moscow reached Stockholm Sat
urday--twelve days after their depart
ure from the Bolshevik capital In
| Finland the Americans were impressed
by the orderly conditions.
When the Americans left Russia,
they say. flour sold at $i.25 n pound
and was seldom obtainable at any
price. Sugar. also scarce, sold at So
a pound.
The refugees say that starvation
had become so prevalent In Moscow
that late In August the food commits
sion was forced TO remove all regula-
lions on citizens and permitted them
to enter the city with sixty pounds
OF food each. This step, it was as
serted, was an admission of the abso-
lutte failure OF the food commission
which had no bread and was forced
through the pressure OF the rebelling
citizens to let the people take the
food supply Into their own hands.
Wheat and other grains were not
available, as the peasants In the grain
sections still under soviet control re-
fused to feed the cities. Potatoes and
other vegetables were selling at %
cents pound. They are the chief
food supply of Moscow and Petro-
grad.
The workmen of Moscow and Petro-
grad factories cannot obtain food from
the commission, which has advised
them to shoulder rifles and take the
grain away from the peasants. This
advice has seldom been needed, as a
majority of the workmen regard the
peasants as brothers.
Wholesale charges by the Bolshevik
newspapers that the bouregoise are
wholly responsible for the food short
age no longer quiet the hungry labor
ers, whose faith In the Bolshevik Is
waning appreciably. The promises of
Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevlk foreign
to quell the Czecho Sloyak
rising and tap the supply of wheat
no longer are generally credited.
Russia, the refugees say, has
bumper wheat and rye crop In virtu-
ally all the grain sections. Much OF
the grain has already been harvested,
but the Bolsheviki have neither the or
gnnlzation nor the transportation IA
cillties to obtain bread for the starry
Ing cities, which scarcely can be ex-
pected to drag through breadless
winter without turning against gov
eminent whose policy has lost the
wheat districts.
