Store The Following Stores Will Be Closed ALL DAY Monday, Sept. 17th SAYS SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE Despite Victory Used Fat Saving Must Go On! i Every woman in America should know that our country continue* to face a serious fat shortage. And victory over Japan won't solve the problem immedi ately. We must keep on saving used fats in our kitchens! 1 >? Jfjoa have any thought that ?< saving used fats is one of those wartime chores we can drop, now that Victory is here, please consider these facts and tell them to your neighbors. America etill need* talvaged fat Mm Not even at the peak of our war effort, when fats were required for mountains of shells and bombs and medicines, in addition to the ever-present need for soap, were our needs for salvaging fat greater than now. Our stocks have been drained by four long yean of war, and there isn't enough on hand to meet all requirements. Don't let "Victory psychology" blind you to thie national need! I f lmusnwlKss stop saving fats &; new, the rfiprfa? will Don't let a tingle drop \ of ueed fate go to waste! Little trimmings of fat left on plates, even the skimmings of soups and gravis* are important. It is the oonsistenf saving of these small amounts that counts* Don't turn in fate that can be re- use J/ But some fats, such as thoss rendered from Iamb and mutton, are not suit able for re-uss. Put them im mediately in the salvage can. And, with other fats, alter you've got all cooking good out of themj there is always a little left. No matter how little it is, save it. Your butcher wfll still give you 4cwsd 2~red points for every pound you turn in. Qay* consis tently ?*- save every drop you can? -every day? until Uncle 8am sagrs the job is done. 3*cr?frj of A&ioultm OPA. PmUi ft b butmstry.
