ENRICHED FLOUR

lANANAO6AA&A$
 If were buying flour CT bread I'd prefer enriched" flour or bread to ordinary white flour or bread, and I advise everybody to select enriched" four or bread wherever it Is available. Some leading baker les now offer enriched" bread and probably all progressive bakeries will do so as the public becomes aware of the availability of such flour and bread. Production and marketing of enriched" flour has been brought about through the agency of National Research Coun cil's committee on food and nutri- ton.
 A few months ago I banned the proposal to doctor" white flour and white bread with certain vitamins and minerals, because 1t seemed to me a poor compromise with the die- tary reform the country needs, that is, return to the use of all of the wheat in flour or bread. But I was converted from that attitude by the unanswerable presentation of. "The Case for Enriched Flour and Bread" by Russell M. Wilder, Pr. D., M. D.. chairman of the committee on food and nutrition.
 Although I am convinced it is far better for more or less everybody to get an increased vitamin ration in his daily bread and other things made of -four than not to get such increased vitamin ration, still I shall not abate my effort to per- sIade people to keep on hand sup-

Consumers Column Save Fats, Oils, But Con- tinue to Serve Good Foods On Your
 Table.

"The more waste the less speed in doing Americas job in the war" One of the luxuries that we in this country take for granted is an abundance of fats and oils and we are fortunate in being nearly self sustaining in this food element in peace times. But we are in war and thought we produce additional percentages we will have less to use for ourselves unsess we learn not to throw it away.
 The Consumers Committee of the Waterbury Defense Council points out there are a lot of ways we can all save fats and oils and still serve better foods. When you substitute one fat for another, remember lard is l006 fat, butter and margarine are only S04o and vegetable fats. while lO09s, are bulkier because they are whipped. Therefore, one cup of lard equals one cup plus two table, spoons of butter or margarine and equals one cup and ih tablespoons of hydrogenated fat. To measure fractions of a cup. if your recipe calls for a quarter of 8 cup of un- melted shortening, i'll the cup E full of water and add fat until the water reaches the top.
 Take home all the trimmings from steaks. chops, and roasts melt, ciaEi" fy and strain to flavor vegetables and soups or for frying. When heato ing fat never permit 1t to smoke because that is sign 1t is begins ming to decompose and 1t will turn rancid more quickly. To clarity fats, melt at moderate temperature with an equal amount of water for a short time, stirring occasionally, Cool and skim of fats, removing any bits Of meat, etc. that may ap- pear, The scraps Of butter, lard or margarine that cling to their Wrap- pings make the greasy paper ex- cellent for greaslng tins, Cut butter pats small enough so that each portion is eptireiy used. When you open 6 can Of salmon og other fish, don't throw away the oil. Diluted and thiekened t makes excellent sauce for flGh and Is eneFgiging and full Of valuable yitaming,

ply of plain wheat and use it in the daily dietary-practical suggestions are given in the pamphlet Wheat to Eat" which I am glad to mail any reader who provides stamped envelope bearing his address. If you ask me I say peck of plain wheat, or tablespoonful of 1t, is far better for what ails most Americans than is two or three times as much "enriched' flour or enriched" bread.
 Now that recognized nutrition authorities, with eminent oficial sanction, are urging the public to use enriched" flour and enriched" bread instead of ordinary white flour and ordinary white bread, and progressive bakers are supplying such bread, which looks and tastes like ordinary white bread, I hope we shall hear no more of that crack about shotgun" vitamin tablets, capsules, pills and other vitamin preparations.
 Wheat as 1t grows is the best food source of vitamin B complex and contains also other vitamins and minerals above mentioned as per- haps to be added for "enriching" white flour.

GlOyiting Yourself

 If you want to make a real effort to keep your appearance in order, try to map out some sort of system that will allow time for exercise, cleansing and grooming routines.
 Suppose you know your hair isn't attractive tln1eSS it's washed and waved once week. A stand ing appointment with the hair dresser might help you to get 1t done every seventh day You might go immediately after work or during lunch hour.
 Some salons are putting in eve- ming courses and classes nowa- days. They will show you how to shampoo and set your own hair. If you do that, you can cut down the time 1t consumes by keeping adequate supplied with curlers, pins, waveset lotion and hairnets, and devoting an evening a week to self glorification.
 The women who seriously expects to be attractive looking puts shoe trees in her shoes the moment she takes them of, keeps a steel brush handy for cleaning felt hats, and of course doesn't forget the .cobbler till she's literally down-at-the-h heels. She uses a deodorant or an anti- perspirant regularly, because once 1t becomes a habit it is done with out half thinking about it.
 Don't give yourself the war as an alibi for slipshod ways. For in- stance, don't decide that daily exer- cises are mode trouble than they're worth, these busy days, until you really have done a. specific routine for ten minutes every, day for three weeks.
 With a schedule, you'll find that most beauty and grooming habits take precious little more time in the observance than in incoming over doing or not doing them, and ac. tually much less energy.

 EVERYBODY KNOWS
 EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS
 It is a constant source of amuse- ment to the Americans to watch the lines form for the second movie. Ale though there are plenty of seats for all. the Newfoundlanders, from long habit, insist on arriving about an hour ahead of time and piling up as close together as possible. The re- sultant tumble would turn the hair of an American movie usher gray overnight.
 After the movies there are some walks and some talks. The girls usually check in with the matron at barracks shortly before midnight. By and large there have been few com plaints about the barracks life. Every one gets to know everything about every one else. But that's nothing new on this island of small communities. The grapevine" just takes less time in barracks.

They are the secretaries and stenographers at the outport army pests. the girls who walt on tables in the distant construction towns. The few houses which make up such villages as surround these camps cannot accommodate the in- Aux, so these girls live in barracks and eat in mess halls.
 WOMEN LIVE
 IN BARRACKS
 The barracks themselves are iden- tical to those the men live in. They are, in fact, the second story of the mems barracks, reached, naturally, through separate entrances. Like the mems barracks, the women'S offer two kinds of accommodations: There are small, two and four bed separate rooms; and there are long wards with doubledecker beds which accommodate about 50 women.
 Unlike the men, the women have not decorated their walls with pic- lures and pennantS, but the fem mine touch is easily discernible in such things as calico curtains at the windows.

money. Most of the waitresses, for example, were houseworkers in St. John's-when there was work. Pay averaged $2O a month with room and board. The Americans pay them $1O a week, plus barracks and mess. A few of the girls came to these camps just to get away from St. Johns for 8 change. Another factor to be taken into consideration is the numerous dates with conStruc- ton men and soldiers.
 Like most Newfoundlanders most of these girls are quiet, shy. In looks they run the usual. gamut from fiat and over 70" to 6 couple of young, slim, raven-haired local Brenda Fraziers.
 The waitresses' day starts at about 4:3O in the morning. The mems morning mess opens at 5:S0 and the girls have to get started at the mess hall about half an hour ahead of that. They get their own breakfasts in the hall after the men have eaten. They are usually through with the dishes and clean- ing up at 8:30.
