UNCLE SAM TAKES UP.
THE CHICKEN PROBLEM
Not the Kind You Mean. but Regular
Poultry for Food.

The Importance of age, sex, exercise,
food and care as influencing tenderness
and favor IN poultry is pointed out by
home economies specialists OF the De-
partment Of Agriculture.
In all kinda of poultry table quality
depends primarily on tenderness and ma
vor, and these, In turn, are Influences
by age, sex, exercise, food. and care.
Freshness Is an important factor, but
this IL not merely a question Of how long
a bird has been dead. but rather of how
.ar developed are the chemical and bac-
THEOLOGICAL changes which, when they
are carried too far, cause spelling. The
microorganisms which cause dangerous
changes are likely to be introduced by
careless and dirty handling and for this
reason cleanliness should be insisted on
The changes take place most rapidly in
the presence Of warmth and moisture
The methods of cooking poultry are, In
general. the same as those for other
kinds Of meat. The tougher the bird. the
more cooking Is needed to make 1t ten
der and the larger It is. the more heat
will be required to cook II thoroughly.
Canned and pottsd poultry are prepared
in much the same way a. freshly cooked
dishes, then sterilised and sealed, and
when properly put up do not differ es-
sentially IN food value from similar fresh
foods.

This Is Wilson's Objective Be-
hind Present War Council.
Statement Why Nations Unite
To Crush KaiSeriSm.
EVERY "CARD ON THE TABLE"
To State Every Demand; To
Present Every Claim.
Facts When Known Will Tn
dermine German Morale.
BY ED. l.. KEEN.
CCOpyright by the United Press

London, Nov. 2O.-A direct and un-
equivocal statement to the entire
world of the allies war aims is the
big objective behind President Will
sons advocacy of the proposed inter-
allied war council
The writer is able to make this
statement on the basis of information
of unquestioned authority today, as
the American commissioners held
their formal meeting with the British
war leaders in Downing street
1t is to insure the organization of
such a council that the American COM
mission headed by Colonel House is
in Europe. II is to insure such a de-
claration made binding upon all the
allies, as well as to stiffen the often
sive, that the council is desired by
the United States.
Americas immediate aim and the
big task assigned to Colonel House
will be to induce every one of the
allied nations to throw every card on
the table, to state every demand and
present every claim of the war. From
the entire lot will then be selected
icated upon broad humanitarianism
which justify the allies claim as
champions of the right of small ma
tions which are aimed at freeing civil
ization from the menace of miiltarism
and which are in truth calculated to
make the world safe for democracy. >"
Proclaim 1t to Enemy, Too.
Then if the plans and ideas of the
American commission carry, these OBJ
jectives backed by and endorsed by
the entire allied council will be pro-
claimed to the entire world, allied,
neutral and enemy-nOt as a peace
move but as a war move, a move cal
cu.ated to democratize the entire al
lied war making machine. 1t would
be a move to purge the entire allied
coalition of the last tinge of suspicion
OF selfish lnteeRst-.or hope of individ-
ual gain for any nation.
Such a move, diSarming the kaiser
of his argument that the German SOL
der is fighting a defensive war, is
counted on to deal a telling blow to
German morale, to give reinsurance to
neutrals and to remove from the mind
of any allied soldier any idea that he is
risking his life in furtherance of the
commercial or political interests of
any allied nation.
That President Wilson personally
desires such a declaration by such a
I council is admittedly the best guar
antee that both will be forthcoming.
The American executive is at the
moment in a position to secure the
most friendly consideration of his
ideas.
L. S. Now Holds Balance Power.

icas peculiar position and vitality
