MORNING, OCTOBER ,8, 1922 a ess And howtfHi$M helps thoughtful mothers ' - v A on For For For IF only we could do some of the world's really important work," say thousands of mothers tied to home by household duties. Mothers; you can .do important worjs the nation's most important work. Nothing but tender home care can solve one stirring national problem. Did you know that one -(third of our school children are undernourished? In many localities even more well-, to-do children than poor children , are found to be improperly nourished. Surprising Army Facts A. book entirely devoted to under-nourished, children says: "The report of the Surgeon Gen eral of the Army showed barely 50 per cent of our young men physically fit for service in the first line. . . This condition was largely due to defects that are remediable i& child hood. (These defects, of course, were trace able, in large measure,to under-nourishmeht.)" Yes, in many ways we are learning a new home watchfulness. In foods, for example, we are putting the test question to every family food: ''Is this healthful for our little boys" and girls?'"'. " Well-informed mothers are now awake to the Vital importance of fats in diet Th?y are learning that children become anaemicfwhen dennved of the proper amount of fats in food. On the other hand they appreciate the risk in baking or frying with' any fat which does not digest readily. So they turn, quite naturally, to Crisco for they know that this vegetable fat assures easy natural digestiQn. By cooking with digestible Crisco you pro tect the health of your little ones. No worry about healthfulness need then jDlunth your, pleasure in serving the foods they love . In talking to mothers about Crisco we are always frank about its,, price Crisco costs, during a week's cooking, a few centd more than do fats whose digestibility is very ques tionable. But thoughtful mothers woijild no more deliberately choose cheap indigestible shortening than they would deliberately .hoose inferior milk. The assurance of healthful foods for your children will mean much to you, we knoiv, and besides you will feel a glowing pride ih your perfectly delicious Crisco results. Crisp, in viting fried foods! Flaky rich pastry! Light tender, cakes which stay fresh longer! All digestible! You need not postpone for a single day, mothers, this addition of healthfulness to your family foods. Your grbcer, if he is a modern , grocer, sells Crisco. How to use CrUco IN PAN FRYING as in deep frying, Crisco has reached proper frying heat when it browns a bread crumb in 40 seconds. (Do not wait for Crisco to smoke.) By straining Crisco you can use it again and again. AS' SHORTENING use 15 less of Crisco than you would of animal fats. You may anticipate diges tible, fine - flavored foods when you find a bakery or restaurant-Jwhich uses Crisco. i These proprietors, of course, pay considerably more for Crisco than they need pay for "average" shortenings. But thought ful owners, wide awake to their customers' interests, seldom hesitate over these few -extra pennies. For Crisco, they "have learned, assures to their foods healthful digestibility.
