About Sugar Substitutes
The increasing cost of
sugar is causing many
homemakers to look for
ways to conserve sugar and
to compare costs with other
sweeteners. The use of
sweeteners other than sugar
does not guarantee a savings
in money. But a knowledge
of both weight and volume
measures will help you
compare costs.
For quick calculation:
1 pound of granulated white
sugar contains 2 cups
(actually averages close
to 2-V« cups)

If you want to use honey,
molasses or corn syrup in
baking, you will get best
results from especially
developed recipes. If,
however, you wish to try
substitutions in your favorite
recipes for baked goods,
here are some guidelines.
- Molasses, honey or com
syrup can be substituted for
all the sugar in any recipe
that calls for a small ratio of
sugar to other ingredients.
This includes most breads,
rolls and muffins.
• In recipes that call for a
high ratio of sugar to other
ingredients such as cakes
and cookies, you need to
reduce the amount of liquid
in the recipe if you substitute
molasses, honey or com
syrup.
• Reduce the liquid
ingredients one-fourth cup
for each cup of molasses,
honey or com syrup used.
For example, if you sub
stitute Vz cup of honey for Ms
cup of sugar, reduce the
liquid in the recipe by two
tablespoons.
-You are more likely to
have a successful product if
you substitute only half the
sugar in the recipe.
Sweetening ingredients vary
in sweetening power and
have distinct flavors which
may affect other flavoring
ingredients in the product
and differ from sugar in
their effect or browning.
Here are some suggestions
for cutting down sugar
consumption in your home:
-Use canned fruit juices
for sweetening fruits and for
making gelatin desserts,
puddings and beverages.
- Use fresh and dried fruits
without adding sugar.
- Always use a little salt to
help bring out the sweetness
of a food.
- Use fruit instead of rich
sweets for desserts. Or use
milk-based desserts such as
custards and puddings.
Although they require sugar,
the amounts are generally
less than those needed for
rich cakes and pies.

Fabric
Greater Versatility
Wool is a unique natural
fiber offering excellent in
sulation and resiliency, the
ability to return to original
shape after being stretched.
Elasticity and moisture
absorption make wool
comfortable.
Modem civilization and
technology have improved
wool and added other
desirable characteristics to
its natural qualities. Among
the developments of recent
years are permanent
creasing, shrinkproof wools,
resistant fabrics have
developed a new process
which enables fire-resistant
garments to be laundered.
Until recently washing
instructions read “Do not
use soap or bleach, low or
non-phosphate detergent. Do
not send to commercial
laundry. Dry at low tem
perature. Do not tumble
dry.” But, now due to a new
finishing process, washing
instructions will read “Fully
washable. Do not use soap or
chlorine bleach.”
Why no soap or chlorine
bleach?
Soaps leave a lime deposit,
curd, in hard water, on the
fabric which covers the
flame-resistant finish, thus
making it ineffective. While
chlorine bleaches
chemically attacks the
finish, making it ineffective.
Fabric with this new fire
retardant process should be
in the market by December.
Homemakers, you no
longer need to handle flame-
resistant fabrics with special
care for they are now “fully
washable.”

feathenvb.*nt wools, bonded
wools and machine washable
wools as well as even greater
color quality, patterns and
resistance to staining. New
techniques in weaving and
knitting give the fiber great
versatility.
The Wool Bureau, Inc., a
non-profit wool promotion
and research organization,
tests samples of wool for
strength, color fastness and
level of workmanship. Their
Woolmark labels assure
consumers that products
have met standards of
quality and passed the rigid
performance tests required
by the Bureau. Three types
of labeling are available to
date.
The “Pure Wool” mark
whick appears as a per
manent lable on approved
goods, certifies that the
product is 100 percent wool.
Predominantly wool gar
ments, mixed with part
synthetic or natural fibers,
carry a “Wool Blend” mark.
A third labeling by the Wool
Bureau is the “Superwash”
mark. This certifies that the
garment is made of 100
percent pure wool and that it
can be machine washed and
dried without shrinkage.
Superwash may be found in
men’s and women’s
sweaters, shirts, and
hosiery; women’s dresses;
and fabrics for home sewing
and hand knitting yarns.

Shrinkage In wool gar
ments comes about because
the fibers move closer
together during the agitation
of the fabric in machine
washing. The Individual wool
fibers never really shrink or
change in size but rather
become entangled with one
another. This is known as
felting or matting. The
unique felting ability of wool
creates its soft, luxurious
and bulky feel. However,
once the desired effect is
obtained, it is necessary to
arrest the felting process to
achieve washability.
Superwash garments are
treated to do this.
Woolen garments that are
washable require the same
basic laundering procedures
of other items. Check for the
Superwash mark and read
labels for washing recom
mendations.
How Velvet Is Made
Velvet is a popular fabric
to use for holiday party
dresses. But have you ever
wondered how velvet is
made? With the exception of
uncut velvet, all velvets are
made as two layers of fabric,
woven at the same time on a
double-shuttle loom. An
extra set of yarns is inter
woven between the two
layers of fabric. The extra
yams are then cut, making
two separate fabrics. The
surface of each layer of
fabric can then be treated in
a variety of ways to create
uncrushed velvet, cut velvet
and Panne velvet.
WE DO EVERYTHING.
