mild flavor, n-utritiousness, and ease
of preparation.
Lamb is a wholesome meat. Lamb
Is an economical meat to buy. A more
general use of 1t by the American peo-
Pile would result IN a larger produc-
ton OF wool, so that less would have
to be imported. Six hundred million
pounds OF wool are used annually, just
twice as much. as is produced in this
country at the present time.
"If we expect TO produce as much
wool as we need. we will surely have
to Eat More Lamb with a venge-

The foreword explains that the

served. which Is disliked by some
people. can be eliminated by remov'
ing the fell. or outside skin. This
should be n by the housewife II
