Put bowls, mixing spoons, egg beaters, and other implements to soak in cool suds the moment tftfey have been used. The slightest amount of soap will dojust enough to make a light suds. ; Then, while the cake and bread is I in the oven, all the utensils can be I thoroughly washed very quickly be- ! cause there has been no chance for j the eggs or. the dough to harden on ! them. The dishwater will stay nice and clean, too, because the preliminary | soaking has removed most of the ! food particles. The same soapy dish- ! water, with perhaps a kettleful of added hot water and a small additional amount of soapi will do for washing the cake pans later on when they, come out of the oven. If pans ere very greasy or havy dough adhering to the bottom, they can be wiped out first with a piece of paper. If this is done as soon as cakes are taken from the pan, the pans are much easier to \f ash.

And there's one thing those writers seem to agree on no matter where they are stationed with our men...and that is that the men who have left their homes and families to go away and fight this war don't want to come back ai^a find that prohibition has been put over on them while they were away... either nationally or locally.
