The tank cars carry the grease to soap
plants where 1t is again dumped into watts
three stories high. Live steam brings the
grease to a boil and when caustic soda is
added the chemical reaction turns SO per
cent of the boiling grease into soap while the
other II per cent drops to the bottom of the
vat in the form of glycerine I've.
The glycerine I've is then drained and sent
to distilery where it is refined until from %
to 9S per cent pure and then sent to explosive
acids and converted into nitrogylcerine
The soap industry needed last year about a
billion and a half pounds Of talow obtained
from renderers, in addition to some five mil
lion pounds of edible tallow obtained directly
from packing houses. This edible tallow must
be replaced besides the vegetable oils of which
the soap manufacturers imported last year $50
million pounds
Each Kitchen Commando should get the
maximum cooking use and food values from
the kitchen fats before turning them over to
her meat dealer.
Don't give one drop Of fat that you are

-HPeH-the locality. The maximum of cents
per pound was set by the government but
the price will be much lower in places far
removed from rendering plants in which case
the transportation Govt must be figured in
The meat dealer will receive the maximum of
5 cents a pound from the renderers but he
will spend the one cent difference for han
ding.
Be sure when you save the waste fat not
to put it in glass or paper containers. Many
renderers toss the fat with the containers into
the giant steam kettles TO melt all the fat
out of the containers. Paper containers would
break up in the process and the resulting tai
low would need additional strainng.
Glass jars, the other hand. would crack
from the heat during the rendering process
Therefore the waste fats should be collected
in clean, wide-mouthed tin cans. The tin cans
too, will be salvaged.
The nations quota for the Kitchen Com
mandos is set at 500 million pounds a year
estimating the yearly collection per head of
2.S pounds for farm dwellers, and as pounds
for city residents. The reason for the lower
quota in rural communities is that waste fats

soap making and in live stock feeding

many times The Allies depend now entirely
on this country for fats and oils formerly
received from the Far and Middle East.
Our problem is to replace all of this loss
One thing has been done so far. The farmers
are increasing the acreage of high oil-yelding
crops such as cotton seed. pumpkin seeds,
soy beans. and peanuts. And the output of
hogs has been stepped up to supply more fat
Imports of oil and oil seeds from our neigh

But the biggest source of all has never
been fully tapped That source is in our own
kitchens.
Glycerine can be made in various ways, but
most of it is produced as a by-product Of
soap making. NM
After you deliver your waste fats to one
of the 800 900 meat markets and 5000 frozen
food locker plants in the country they sell the
fat to renderers.
At the rendering plant the grease thus
collected is emptied into watts where II is
steamed or boiled for several hours. Boiling
grease frees all the foreign materials which
can be filtered out. This purified grease is
called tallow and is piped into tank cars.

Glycerine goes into the manufacture of
textiles such as blankets, uniforms over
coats pillows and dresses. The paper you
write on and every scrap of leather you wear
are turned out with the aid of glycerine. So
is your cooking stove and other pieces of
metal about your home. 1t is needed in the
manufacture Of ink and in plastic materials.
In medicine glycerine plays an important
role too. 1t is contained in many drugs ONT
ments, plasters and some purgative remedies.
Most of the gycerne in this country was
formerly obtained from vegetable oils and

There'll always be a diet problem
30 long as there are children. 1t
does not vex some mothers, but in
most homes 1t is a constant source
Of worry.
The children actually need Ger.
tain foods - milk, potatoes, greens
and meats. But George desplses
potatoes, Grace ignores spinach,
Gertrude has no particular use for
meat - and they all refuse TO
drink that most important food,
milk.
Mothers cannot afford to take
the easy way out and serve dishes
the children desire, unless they
know how to make those desired
dishes, required dishes as well.
Really, this can very often be ac-
compllshed. Even though children
refuse to drink milk, they will
never refuse ice cream. or rennet-
custards - both filed with rich
milk. Rennet-custards are ideal for
luncheon, dinner or before bed
snacks. They are easy to prepare,
economical and healthful. Try the

cd fish to show them that his re-
srrrection body was the same body
they had known for years. So
the apostles under the Masters
tuition passed through several
stages: first they were filled with
unbelief which Mark attributed to
hardness of heart; then they were
terror stricken and affrighted;
next they disbelieved for joy; and
at last. as John says. they were
glad when they saw the Lord.

risen Christ in Jerusalem and en-

unlikely Jesus appeared to the
little company in The upper room.
though possibly at Calvary or
Gethscmane. Every movement Of
Jesus bore the stamp of finality.
1t was their last interview with
him. And ever afterward their
duty was clear to them. % The
duty to the Word was fundament-
al. The word Of Christ must I've
received as the Word of God. The
Word about Christ is the very
heart Of divine revelation, for all
the ancient Scriptures pointed for
ward to his coming, while the sa-
cred writings OF the new dispen-
sation are devoted to the story of
Christ and to the story Of the
early Christian churches. The
Word in Christ reaches the heights
OF revelation for "the Word was
God The Word through Christ
tells Of at0nemcnt for sin and re-
surrection power in glory. The
Word from Christ reveals the
path that shines more and more
unto the perfect day. (2) The duty
to witness is inclusive and urgent.
The humblcst can do it while the
highest can do nothing better.
There must be witnessing for the
deity and atonement of Christ, for
the truth Of the Bible, for the
plan of salvation, for the path Of
service. The witnessing must be
done in the name Of Jesus or it|
will not he for his glory. 1t must
begin at Jerusalem and widen
thence unto all the world.

Again, "all these interviews ceased
after limited, not very long,
time. Had they been the product
of imagination and enthusiasm,
they would have continued increas
ing constantly the emotional ex-
element out of which they
sprung. At least ten appear
ances are recorded. One Of them
was witnessed by more than five
hundred persons. But why did
Jesus appear to the disciples
alone? Broadus answers that they
alone could appreciate his pres
ence, while the multitude would
have blazed with fanaticism. A
third proof of the resurrection lies
in its proclamation by the apostl-
es. They regarded it as central and
fundamental. For its advocacy
they were frequently prosecuted
for its truth they were ready to
die. Belief in it also wrought a
change in character, applicable on
no other ground than that it is d.
vinely true.
(3) The Conclusion. Christ is
risen. Abbott truly declared that
this is the best attested fact in
history. No Christian can doubt it,
and no blasptemer can explain it
away. Moreove, belief in it is the
test of saving faith from. 1890

Gold in the Golden Text
Ye are witnesses of these things.
Luke 24:4S
Witnessing for Christ is per
sonal matter. 1t is definite. 1t is
a call to the colors. There is mo-
escaping responsibility. Nor is it,
a moments job, but lifetime
work. The future is drafted as
we'll as the present. Christ is our
proprietor because he is our Saw

sends US forth as his representa-
lives. but he is himself the con-
tent III our message to the world
Such testimony is sure to spread
the cause Of Christ one day among
the nations,
