SAVING CEREALS
SUBSTITUE FOR STARCH DERIVED FROM CHINA CLAY (Times Air Mail Service) LONDON, July 31 A firm of importers who came to the rescue of laundries during the last war by producing an effective starch substitute derived from china
clay are once more concentrating on the manufacture of this useful product, states the Evening Standard. When the existing stocks are exhausted there is likely to be an acute shortage of real starch, because of the over-running of Holland, which was our principal source of supply, France and Poland. The substitute can be used in almost the same way as starch, and costs no more; it is suitable for all laundry purposes. The firm who discovered it are also making a preparation which can be added to real starch, and which enables the quantity normally used in a month to last ten months in the case of flat work and from four to five months in the case of shirts and collars. The substitute starch is also helping to save the country’s cereals.
