All these -. poured into a
can and taken to your butcher
:. or perhaps you are already
acquainted with the Girl Scout
in your neighborhood who takes
care of fat collection will
help put us over the top.
Fats are needed because they
contain glycerin used in making
ammunition, dynamite, gunpow-
der. aircraft shells and so on.
We could lose the war, we are
told for lack of the fat
contribution from Americas
kitchens.
So remember to save
every little teaspoonful to
be turned in when you have a
pound or more.
Victory Books
Don't forget the Victory Book
campaign is still on. Three mil
lion books are needed for our
boys in service Detroit's
quota is about 100000. To date,
only $1,000 books have been re-
ceived.
Sometimes people have book
or two they'd like to give but
Just don't seem to find time to
take them to a collection booth.
To make it easier for you to
make your contribution to
library for the boys collec-
tion boxes for books will be
placed in each of the schools

creased to a startling degree,
and the consumers are cultivat-
ing a taste for these wines that
is not apt TO change.
DERHAPS it is as much tri-
L umph for advertising as for
the quality of the wines.
The distillers can no longer
make whisky and the buying up
of the wineries is oStensibly an
outlet for their vast capital and
the employment of their great
organizations during the whisky

But / have a theory that be

thought on the part of the dis

not probable, temperance is, and
that the making of wines

tually be their ace i'm the hole.
The same thought might APP
ply 10 beer, and in fact in line
with my theory is the rumor
that some of the big distillers
would not be adverse TO taking
over breweries.
But at the moment their chief
interest is wines. the California
