DOMESTIC FAT FOR SOAP MAKING
P.A.) Wellington, May 21. •A national drive to save fat for use in the manufacture of soap, and thereby make increased quantities of tallow available for export to the United Kingdom, was announced this evening by the chairman of the Famine Emergency Committee, Mr. T. N. Smallwood. He s'lid that by making fat available to soap manufacturers from the domestic field a correspondingly reduced quantity of tallow would be drawn by manufacturers from freezing works. The bulk quantities of tallow for export to Britain would thereby he increased. Mr. Smallwood said that the types of fat acceptable would be rendered beef fat, rendered mutton fat, rendered pig fat, mixed household dripping, but not very burnt dripping. Kavv fats, uncookeu or used, collected by farmers and housewives, must lie rendered and on no account mixed with other fats. All fat collections should be kept as free as possible of foreign matter.
