USE FOR BACON RIND-
f1hdnkS to Anonymous Reader
Bacon rind is for sale in most
markets for about 5 cents strip.
Aside from its use as a source of
dripping fat after it has been clari-
fed it may be used in the Southern
manner for boiling pot of greens.
Place the rind in a pot with | y
cups of water. Boil gently for about
l hour. Then place pounds of
washed spinach Or other green's, or 2
pounds of green snap beans, or a
pound OF black-eye peas, or a head
OF cut-up cabbage in this liquor
Place the bacon rind on top of the
greens and simmer very slowly at low
heat for as much as two hours. The
flavor Of the rind penetrates the
vegetables and the fat is combined
with the vegetables to make a very
nourlshing and palatable dish. Sea-
son with salt and pepper to taste
Editors note. With bacon rinds
set at 1-point ualue in the neU
rdtioning setup, this suggestion ap-
pears particularly timely.

Thrifty Lid
Ingenious
Gadget

MlIlOnS OF new War-bOrn DG
to help the American housewife
preserve her own vegetables, fruits
and jellies, were today being man.
ufactured for the forthcoming cam
lining season.
This good news came from one Of
the Nations largest glass manufac-
turers. which said that many mil
lions of these thrifty lids-as the
ingenious device is called - will
shortly be available at the neigh
borhood grocery stores.
The success of the thrifty lid last
season. when several millions were
distributed. resulted in the release
of sufficient metal this year to help
the American housewife with her
home preserving.
The thrifty lid IS made to fit the
63-mm. openings of the streamlined
and simplified glass containers
recommended by the Government.
1t makes possible the conversion of
commercially packed glass coffee
containers, and other jars with the
same sized opening, for household
use
With this good news comes the
urgent recommendation that the
American housewife must plan now
for the forthcoming season. The
Victory garden, for instance. must
be designed to produce maximum
OF vegetables and fruits.
But housewives-if they are to do
their bit in this war program-must
start preparing. now, for the new
CHASING season. Mrs. America must
start saving all those metal screw
caps that fit not only her glass
coffee jars but the many glass Jars.
with similar-sized openings, that
are used for commercially packed
products.
And with some metal caps
being gradually replaced by paper
caps. no time should be lost in
building up supply of them in the
home.
The thrifty lid is war develop
ment of the research laboratories Of
one OF the Nations largest glass
companies, and is made to help
conserve Americas food supplies.
To use the thrifty lid, Mrs. House.
wife scrapes off the composition
sealing that is inside the original
screW-on type of metal cap. This
is very important, since an uneven
inside" to the screw-on cap will
prevent it from securing the thrifty
lid evenly. Also, if some compo-
sltlon remains on the inside OF the
screW-on cap, 1t will. adhere to the
thrifty lid and pull the latter of the
jar while unscrewing.
After the jar is filled with the
product the thin thrifty lid is then
placed over the mouth of the lar.
Then the screW-on cap is screwed
down on top of the thrifty lid, and is
left on while the product is being
processed. After the jar, and it's
contents cool of, the screw-on lid is
then unscrewed, the thrifty lid re-
naming in place by force of the
vacuum created within the glass jar.
The screw-on cap can thus be
used again and again to preserve
many patches of home preserves.
since its function is to merely hold
the thrifty lid in place during the
cooking period when the vacuum is
being created. The thrifty lid, on
the other hand, is used only once.

SHORTAGES OF adequate
help are nothing new to most
OF us since the start OF the war.
Some of us have been dependent
on help, no matter how slight,
for the care of our gardens, and
we think we've been badly put
upon since that help has van
ished.
But suppose instead of just
our relatively few plants we had
hundreds of acres of plants to
take care Of when our helpers
marched off 10 war? What
would we do then?
Our nurserymen and plant
growers are IN just this fix. The
plants must be given a certain
minimum of care, and helpers,
particularly ones trained In the
nursery business, are few and
far between. But the customers
can do their share TO cut labor
requirements If they only will.
