of wheat or the hordein of barley.|

Properly supplemented, mushrooms are suitable as a source of protein,

although few persons eat enough|

mushrooms to satisfy much of their protein needs from them. Mushrooms also supply vitamins and two minerals, iron and copper, the Massachusetts scientists discovered. In fact, they are one of the best plant sources of some members of the vitamin B complex. A prepared serving of about three and one-half ounces of fresh mushrooms would provide, the scientists state, about one-fifth of a grownup’s daily requirement of riboflavin and over one-quarter of his requirement of pellagra-preventing They also contain appreciable amounts of the morale vitamin B-1, vitamin C and vitamin K. The scientists conclude that “although mushrooms will probably always be eaten for .their innate flavor and taste appeal, they do possess definite food values and are not a purely luxury food in our wartime dietary.”

Homemaking—

Answering Some Questions on’ Stretching the Butter Supply

30 per cent of the coun

tial in food for health?” Answering the last question first, home economists of the U. S. department of agriculture say that some fat is needed. Fat is not only a concentrated source of calories, but performs - certain functions essential to health and well-being which no other kind of food can take over. There is fat in many foods, such as whole milk, meats, soybeans, nuts and avocados. So we are not entirely dependent upon added. fats to meet our basic needs.

Its Vitamin Content IN ADDITION, some fat in a meal makes it satisfying. The fat digests very slowly, so it “stays

by.” If you lived on fat-less meals

for a time you would find that you

became hungry quickly after eating. , Some fats contain one or more vitamins. Butter, for instance, contains vitamin A. Much of the oleomargarine on the market is fortified with vitamin A, So far as calories and vitamins go, however, you can get energy from other sources than fats, such as dried beans and peas, potatoes and grain foods. And there -are many sources for vitamin A, including a large choice of leafy, green and yellow vegetables.

Spreading the Butter

FOR HOMEMAKERS asking how to save and spread butter, these suggestions are offered: Serye it thriftily. Restaurants and other eating places serving butter now provide one pat oly: or half

a pat. You can do the same at the family table. Eat up all you get. If you put. butter for seasoning directly on food, none will be left on pan or plate. And it's good wartime manners to leave a clean plate. Make flavor count. That is, use the butter you have where it will taste best. Bread would get priority on the family butter, with many people. A butter-seasoned vegetable’ would be the first with others. It’s all a matter of taste.

Lose no butter by poor storing. Cut out butter-rich dishes. Butter will spread farther if it is creamed or slightly softened—but not melted. If there’s mayonnaise in a sandwich, skip part, of the butter. As for stretching butter, some people are remembering and using tricks of ‘world war days—mixing it with milk and gelatine and whipping to smooth creaminess.

Alternate Fats

WE CAN DO some shifting around in fais we use, and the wartithe shopper finds her marketing easier if she is open minded. Fats in common use include butter, oleomargarine, lard, white cooking fats'of the hydrogenated kind, and salad and cooking oils—which are liquid fats. These oils are from such sources as our peanuts, soybeans, ceottonseed and corn. And an important source of fat is the sizzling drippings left in the pan when cooked meat is taken out. Many homemakers already are experts at using these . flayorful drippings.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4—WPB may have been short sighted in the past in prohibiting the manufacture of repair parts for essential machinery and everyday household implements. But you may expect a reversal in policy, “There’ll be more orders such as one permitting manufacturers to make limited quantities of repair parts for your sewing ma-
