raw material to work. Used fats
are no longer waste. They are vi
tai in industrial production of war
materials and civilian necessities
The most spectacular uses made
of salvaged kitchen fat are for
explosives and medicines for fight
ing men, but there are many 9TH
er ways in which this household
product serves the armed forces.
Women who save and turn in
used fat make more tires avail
able for trucks, jeeps and planes.
They furnish a necessary ingre-
dent for making rubber RATS and
boats for flyers forced down at
sea, and all the rubber fittings
and supplies fighting men need.
The fighting mans safety is pro-
tected in many ways by the prod
ucts and by-products of fat
One tablespoonful of used fat
every day from each kitchen in
the land will fill the quota of
1922. 10000 pounds set as the 1916
goal of household fat salvage.
Let's stick to the job until VI
