MEAT DRIPPINGS MAKE FINE SOAP

Making soap from the drippings of meat is the practical war work of Mrs O O Van den Berg of Washington, who is shown at her desk in the uniform of the United States food administration. The drippings are saved until six pounds are accumulated. This, with one can of lye, will make 15 cakes of hard soap, delightful for the bath and excellent for washing line fabrics or laces.
