Hitler's helpmates. Mabel Wattwaster is helping to win the war--but she's working for the wrong side. As she drones gossip into the telephone, her toast burns merrily away. She is not only wasting food and power, but is also impairing the efficiency of her toaster by letting it overheat. Mabel knows that much household equipment like toasters will be irreplacable for the duration. She also believes in the consumer's victory pledge ("I will take good care of the things I have . . ."), but still there are times Hitler is counting on her to lower America's civilian resources, and ultimately to weaken America's morals

How to conserve household gas. Use as little water as possible when cooking most vegetables. For in addition to conserving their vitamin content, this method decreases cooking time and uses less gas. The best way to cook many vegetables is to bring the water to a quick boil, then reduce the flame when the boiling has started. A high flame will not hasten the cooking. All that is necessary is to use a low blue flame sufficient to keep water boiling
