WAR COMES INTO THE KITCHEN WE'RE stripped down to "rock bottom." Here are some of the do's and don't s the homemaker is going to observe — and very willingly, too — in the coming months, in order that the men who are fighting for us may be adequately supplied: Food must go to war. All of these canned foods, packed in 1943, will go: Canned apples, applesauce, apricots, blueberries, figs, grapefruit segments, orange juice, blended orange and grapefruit juice, beets, carrots, pumpkin or squash, tomato catsup. Varying amounts of other canned fruits and vegetables and juices will go. Civilian shares of canned fruits and vegetables in 1943 are expected to average about one-half their 1941 total. We're not getting all the milk we could use for military as well as civilian use. So WPB says no more whipped cream, except on doctor's orders. There'll be 20 percent less ice cream made than otherwise would have been made at this time of year. Ice-cream makers must not change the quality. Tin's scarce, and much of what there is must go to war. No more tin may be used to pack these foods for civilians: Meat spreads, sausage, whole tongue, chopped luncheon meats, edible oils, lard, white asparagus, succotash, sauerkraut, baking powder, among other things. Undoubtedly, substitute packing, using less critical materials, will be found for some of these foods. Tin-saving orders cut down on the amount of tin that can be used to pack still other foods, but figures do not yet reveal how much of the foods affected will stay at home, how much will go. Alcohol is needed for explosives. So we're cutting out more alcoholic toiletries and cosmetics. Metals are the first "musts" in war. So no more attachments for vacuum cleaners can be made. No more chocolate hearts or bunnies or eggs for the kids. WPB thinks they'll get better food use out of our limited chocolate supplies if we cut out the "novelties." Gum chewers are learning how to make each stick last longer. 1942 production almost equaled 1941's record output, but many more chewers came to market. Don't look for larger supplies, because while there's plenty of chicle to be had, it must be imported, and shipping space is limited. *&&*&■ The misty shell-pink softness of this new "Natural" gives your skin a new look!
