(Special Information Service. U. 8. Department of Agriculture.) ? SAVING THE FATS FOR FOOD GREAT VALUE OF SUET \l\ COOKING Most Housewives Know That It Is Excellent Shortening. IT HAS SOME MEAT TISSUE Possesses Same Food Value as Lard, and if Properly Tried Out, It Is Satisfactory Substitute for Frying Purposes. Special pains should always be taken to save and use suet because of itsr great value in cookery. Most housewives know that rendered suet is a very good shortening and very ?commonly they also have special dishes in which the chopped suet is used instead of a rendered fat. In addition to the fat it contains, chopped suet has some meat tissue. Rendered suet possesses the same food value as lard or other similar shortening, and 'If properly tried out it is a satisfactory substitute for frying purposes, for shortening, and for making savory fats. Anyone who regards suet as useful only in making soap is wrong for it is a valuable food. Its use for soap making should be considered only when the fat has become too rancid for use or when it has been burned when used for frying. Trying Out Suet. Those who do not know how to ren der and use suet sometimes object to it on the ground of its hardness and special flavor. Fresh suet, however, can be so rendered as to make a soft useful fat practically free from any distinctive flavor or odor. The follow ing is a simple method for trying out suet : Remove the skin and lean parts from beef fat and cut it into small pieces. Put it into a saucepan and cover it with cold water. Place it on the stove uncovered, as it is believed that steam carries away strong flavors. When the water is nearly all evapo rated set the kettle back and let the fat try out. When the fat has ceased bubbling and the scraps of skin are shriveled, allow the scraps to settle at the bottom of the kettle, strain the fat through a cloth, and set it away to cool. This fat is so valuable in cooking that housewives will do well to save all suet which is trimmed from beef and try It out. Suet and Leaf Lard. For those who want a mixture of suet and leaf lard, which is a softer ; fat than rendered suet and has a dif ferent flavor, the following recipe will be useful : Take two parts of suet and one of leaf lard, finely ground, and mix to gether. Render this with whole milk tin the proportion of one-half pint to (two pounds of the mixed suet and lard. (Render means to melt down or to clarify by melting.) This may be con veniently done if the suet and lard mixture be finely divided by passing it through a meat grinder and then heated in a double boiler, when the fat will be quickly released from the tissues, and when strained and al lowed to cool will form a cake on the surface of the liquid which may be easily removed. This fat has a good odor, color and texture, and is softer than the suet alone. It Is particularly useful for frying and for shortening foods which i his Farm Method of Saving Fat6 From Rinds, Bones, and Scraps Can Be Use-i on a Small Scale on Any Kitchen Stove. are spiced or have distinctive flavors, and may be also used with satisfac tory results in shortening such things as baking-powder biscuits. It is also useful for cooking vegetables either alone or with the addition of a little butter. The unpopularity of fried food in many families is due largely to the fact that the fat has been burned in cooking. Fat w hen heated to too high a temperature splits up and may form substances which have an irritating effect on the throat and may cause digestive disturbances. Fat in itself is a very valuable food, and if it is not scorched should prove a healthful rather than an objectionable article of diet. Destroy Home Pests. Clean up the cabbage patch ! Don't raise a crop of insect pests on the stalks. That is what is likely to hap pen if stalks of cabbage or cauli flower, collards, brussels sprouts, and such vegetables are left in the garden after they have fulfilled their food mission. Entomologists of the United States department of agriculture advise that where such remnants of the garden can be promptly fed to hogs or cattle a double purpose will be served ? insect pests will be kept down and a food provided for meat making animals. The plants just named are affected by the same class of insects of which there are several distinct kinds ? cab bage worms, the cabbage looper, haTle quin cabbage bug, cabbage aphis, and other plant lice and cutworms ? any one of which, if it occurs in sufficiently large numbers, is capable of destroy ing an entire crop. After the cabbage has been cut the stalks are likely to bear numerous shoots which harbor the insects in autumn and even dur ing early winter. Cabbage heads which have not properly matured either because of insect ravages or for other reasons also may provide a place of refuge for bugs. All such crop remnants which cannot be used for feed, and weeds or other rubbish, should be destroyed now by burning. If the gardener is familiar with the use of arsenicals some stalks may be left growing to serve as traps for in sects, the specialists say. The pests which gather on such traps can be readily destroyed by dusting the plants with dry paris green or arsen ate of lead diluted with about 20 parts of finely sifted lime or road dust. Foods Rich in Iron. Compared with most other foods, milk contains much lime, but very lit tle iron. Spinach and ojher green veg etables, and egg yolks^are rich in iron. This is one reason why com binations of egg yolks or vegetables with milk are good, particularly for Ceding children, for they have special net d for lime and iron. Plan Meals Carefully. Do not be ashamed to plan meals closely. Provide enough, of course, but practice thrift and plan econom ical dishes, and use the "left-overs" for making palatable dishes ? there are many such. One reason there is such a waste of food in this country is because we habitually set before ourselves more tlifin we can eat. Plan the meal> care fully *tnd eliminate waste from this cause. Proportions for Decorating. In furnishing a room two-thirds of ba< '?n zr< >und to one-tb'rd of decorative value are the right proportions. SANDY SPRINGS SCHOOL ITEMS. Box Party and Voting Contest Bring ing the Sunt of $66.00. We had a box party at Sandy Springs School House Saturday night, February 2. It seemed that all want ed a box, therefore they sold well. Then while passing off the tinig very pleasantly, we had guessing and lisli ing. But the most interesting thing of all was how the boys were deter mined to see which one of the girls ( should be the prettiest, in order to get the prize which was to be given. It ! was a very tight contest. But tinally Miss Savannah Bailey won ou-. The Amount received for this contest was $37.80, and the total amount made up in all was $(50.60. This money will be used for painting the school house. D. C. M. A Letter From Camp Travis. Mr. Editor: I have been thinking I would write you ever since I found the first copy of my home County paper in the Y. M. C. A. reading room. It is a source of grsat interest and much pleasure to me and each copy is hailed with de- i light. Even though I am many miles away, it is quite interesting to me to note the progress and development I my home County and State are mak- ; ing, for to me there is no State like the "Old North State." Though in another State, I have ! been quite fortunate in receiving pro motions. Soon after reaching this Camp I was made Sergeant of Ordi nance for my regiment, and later when the new camp for training men for officers was opeiied I was chosen ! as one of the cadets and am in train- 1 ing now, which course lasts for three ' months. In this camp wo have a fine ! group of young men, the most of whom are college graduates, and everyone is very much enthused in his work and the motto of all seems to be ' "To do or die." Mr. Lassiter, I will appreciate it very much if instead of sending the The Herald to the Y. M. C. A., if you will send it to me at my new address, as I hate to miss a copy of your paper, and unfortunately I am at quite a distance from the Y. M. C. A. I could write you quite a number of interesting items ef camp life here, but realizing I would be consuming your time? will conclude. Thanking you for past favors, and wishing you future success with your paper, I am Very sincerely, SERGT. B. O. STEPHENSt)N. Battery A., Camp Travis, Texas. January, 27, 1918. The Cedars of Lebanon. There are only about four hundred of the Cedars of Lebanon left. The Maronite peasants almost worship them and call them the "Cedars of the Lord," and a recent governor of the Lebanon has surrounded them by a great wall, so that the young shoots may not be injured by roving animals. Yet, century by century, their num bers grow less. But the few remaining are of royal blood. They are not the largest of trees, though some of the trunks measure forty feet around. Their beauty lies in the wide-spreading limbs, which often cover a circle two or three hundred feet in circumfer ence. Some are tall and symmetrical, with beautiful horizontal branches; others are gnarled and knotted, with inviting seats in the great forks, and charming beds on the thick foliage of the swinging boughs. The wood has a sweet odor, is very hrrd, and sel dom decays. The vitality of the cedar is remarkable. A dead tree is never seen, except when lightning or the axe has been at work. Often a great bough of one tree has grown into a neighbor, and the two are so bound in together that it is impossible to say which is the parent trunk. Perhaps the unusual strength and vitality of the cedars are due to their slow growth. When a little sprout, hardly waist high, is said to be ten or fifteen or twenty years old, one cannot help ask ing, "What must be the age of the great patriarchs of the grove?" It is hard to tell exactly. There have been counted, with the aid of a microscope, more than seven hundred rings on a bough only thirty inches in diameter. Those who have studied the matter deeply think that some of these trees must be more than a thousand years old. Indeed, there is nothing wildly improbable in the thought that per haps the tree called the Guardian of the grove, for instance, may have been a young tree when Hiram began cut ting for the temple at Jerusalem. ? Canadian Forestry Journal. Of 80,000 graduate nurses in this country, 2,000 already are in active war service. The Red Cross care fully card indexes every nurse as librarians do a book, and the where abouts and service of each one can be found in a moment by referring to this index. DELICIOUS CORN MUFFINS. nore*3 nn old fashioned recipe for corn muffins that has recently been revived and used with unusual success In several of the larger New York ho tels: To make three and n half dozen muffins take one quart milk, six ounces butter substitute, twelve ounces of light syrup or honey, four ejjgs, pinch of salt, two ounces baking powder, one and a half pounds cornmeal and one and a half pounds rye flour. The butter and syrup should be thoroughly mixed ; then ndd the eggs gradually. Pour in the milk and add the rye llour mixed with cornmeal and baking pow der. Men of New Bern Knitting. " The boys in Seattle are not the only ones who are knitting for the soldiers," said Mrs. M. M. Marks, chairman of the knitting committee of the local Red Cross Society, Monday night. "The boys and men of New Bern are doing their part," she said. "Twenty-five are knitting regularly and are knitting well. They have been assigned to the task of making squares for quilts ' and rugs and scarfs. "The boys love to knit, and so do the men. Some of our business men are engaged in this work. One is so patriotic that he has undertaken to knit an American flag, and is making good progress with it. It is a work of art and is to go into the next quilt to be sent to Rod Cross headquarters. "There are many of our citizens who spend a great deal of time in the Elks' Club, and it has been suggested that they be invited to join the Red Cross knitting class." ? News and Observer. All the bldod, all the heroism, all the munitions and c.11 the money In the world will not win this war un less our Soldiers, our Sailors and our fighting Associates are fed. They will not be fed, this terrible sacrifice of blood and money will be in vain, and the cause of Democ racy will be defeated, unless every person, in every home, every day, guards the Nation's supply of WHEAT, BEEF, PORK, FATS and SUGAR. ARE YOU DOING YOUR SHARE? WHY NOT SEND CORN TO EUROPE? We cannot send them corn be cause they have not enough mills to grind it and are not familiar with its use as food Even if they knew how to use corn meal, it is not suitable for shipment because it is so liable to spoiling. The oats, rye, barley, etc., that we send them will not support them unless mixed with wheat. WE MUST SEND THEM MORE WHEAT, and to d? this, WE MUST EAT LE88 WHEAT BREAD.
