Fat Plays Big Role
In Modern Warfare
Government in Story Form Tells Of Immense Value Of
Fat in Firing Of Guns on Offense, Defense

shortage was q major contribution
to the final outcome Of the war.
In this war the Japanese have
cut off q great part Of the United
Nations supplies Of fats and oils.
Though stored supplies were large
at the start Of the war, the rapidly
expanding needs Of the United Ma
tions Is diminishing at an alarming
rate that stockpile Of fats, oils and
their vitality important dertvative,
glycerine.
But this ebbing Of supplies can
be stopped by the simple eXpedi-
ent Of salvaging every drop Of cook
ing fats not actually used or needed
for food purposes.
It has been estimated that more
than one billion pounds Of fats and
greases 60 down the drains or into
the garbage pals Of this country
every year. It Is this wasted fat
NOT the fats which are used for
GRAVES, sauces and other cooking
purposes =. which are wanted In
the war program. Only after the
full food value Of kitchen fats Is
obtained should they go into the
salvage can.
And the salvage receptacle should
be can not q glass jar or q
paper container. These latter
break and make the problem Of rem
dering fats much more difficult. Tin
cans, on the other hand, are them
selves salvaged after the fat Is re-
moved at the rendering plant.
The fats should be strained into
the can and kept In a cool place
such as the refrigerator, until 81
tablespoonful Zone pound are
collected. Fats of all kinds - meat
fats and vegetable fats - may be
mixed together, but the can should
be taken to the meat dealer before
the fat grows rancid. The glycerine
content Of rancid fat Is less.
The meat dealer will pay four
cents for a pound Of fat. He in
turn receives five cents from the
renderer the extra cent to
compensate him for the trouble Of
collecting the fat from his Gus
toners.
One tablespoon Of fat q day Is an
amount which most average house,
holds can easily salvage. But very
small families may find event this
amount is more than they can save.
Then the answer sfor neighbors to
pool their salvage until one pound
or more Is obtained, for the meat
dealer Is authorized to pay for only
amounts Of one pound or more.
And 1t should be remembered that
butchers are busiest on week-ends.
For that reason, fats should be
turned in as early In the week as
possible.
