The men in camp find trench candles convenient when they want, to warm up a cup of coffee or a bowl of soup, or when they wish to read in an unlighted portion of camp or field. The “Brownie” members of the Girl Scouts of Washington spend a portion of their time each week in making these trench candles, which are handed to Red Cross for distribution. Trench candles are made by cutting out eight full length column strips from a newspaper. The first strip is rolled as tightly as possible, then the other six strips are roiled carefully around this foundation, one by one. until a compact cylinder Is formed. This is tightly tied with thread, then ;it is boiled for half an hour in paraffin, when it Is taken out and cooled. When it lias become cold it is treated to another boiling bath In the paraffin 'for another half hour, and when cooled for the second time il is ready for use. •

B For the thrifty housewife who | E wants a better cooking oil g l— M AZOLA —J The American woman demands quality— even when she thinks most about economy. That is one reason why Mazola, the pure oil from corn, for wg'ijH deep frying, sauteing, shortening and salad dressings is now used WißliH in thousands of homes —in preference to butter, lard or suet w 81/ And since the Food Administration asks us to save these Mfr, fats the housewife is especially glad to have a cooking oil which tap is so pure, wholesome and economical. Not one drop of Mazola is wasted —it can be used over and over again as it does not transmit taste or odor from one food to another. It is as pure and sweet as the most delicate food cooked in it —and it makes fried foods more easy to digest—free from grcasincss or soggincss Use Mazola for your salad dressings, too—makes them especially delicious. Get Mazola from your grocer in pint, quart, half-gallon or gallon tins.
