“We have reached the time in on**
national life when no loyal citizen In
1 the country can afford to spend a
1 dollar for wasteful luxuries. Such
' an expenditure resolves itself into a
disloyal act.”—Carifkial Gibbons.
OUR WAR AIMS.
“What we demanded in this war.
therefore, is nothing peculiar to our- (
selves. It is that the world be made
fit and safe to live in; and particu
larly that it be made safe for every
peace-loving nation which, like our
own. wishes to live its own life, de
termine its own institutions, be as
sured of justice and fair dealing by
the other peoples of the world as ,
against force and self aggression.
All the peoples of the world are in
effect partners in this interest, and ‘
for our own part we see very clearly
that unless justice be done to others
it will not be done to us. The prgram
of the world’s peace, therefore, is
our program.”—President Wilson’s 1
Message of January 8. 1
WORLD’S SUPPLY OF SHIPS
NOW ABOUT 20 PER CENT
SHORT OF NORMAL.
The Food Administration estimates (
the total number of ocean-going ves- ’
sela now afloat at 30,000, having a ■
gross tonnage of 4 5,000,000 tons, i
Losses of shipping during the war t
have totaled about 8,783,080 tons,
and the supply of ships is about 20
per cent short of normal.
Shipbuilding in France has been
at a standstill since the beginning of <
the war; England’s output is less |
than normal; Japan is hampered by
the lack of material; the American i
ship supply is only beginning.
INEDIBLE FATS MAY BE
MADE INTO SOAPS.
Process of Making Soap In Home Is
Simple—N 0 Fats Fit for Food
Should Be Used.
in these days it is decidedly un
patriotic as well as extravagant to
I waste one bit of fat. All housekeep
ers know that the price of soap Is
!advancing rapidly and steadily. It
ils a very simple thing, indeed, to
make your kitchen soap, yourself.
But, do not use fat that might be
needed for cooking purposes. MuiVni
tallow or fats that have been acofch-*
ed and are of no futher use for cook
ing may be made into soap in the
following way./ For each, pound of
’fat, use one-seventh pound of caustic
potash (lye), dissolved in 1 3-4 cups
[cold water. Heat the fat to the inelt
jing point, then add the lye and water
■ mixture; beat with an egg beater
until an emulsion is formed. Or, if
you have a large quantity, turn in
an Ice cream freezer. Unless you mix
( it thoroughly it will separate in lay
jers. Pour into a pan and mark in
squares.
! If the fat iH very dark or has a
[strong odor, it will be improved if
It is clarified. To do this, heat the
fat with water, stirring constantly.
Allow t ( » boil one hail - hour, then put
aside to cool. Remove the hardened,
cold fat from the water and scrape
[any waste matter from the bottom.
