PARIS. Feb. 4.-Charles J. Doherty.
Canadian minister Of justice, who has
proposed to the peace conference
that an international peoples house OF
representatives be established, said
today in discussing the subject:
Prevention Of war is not the con-
Germ Of governmental power alone. 1t
is in the interest of humanity itself.
A sovereign state is not organized
with a view to exerting any restrain
Ing influence over its own action
toward other states.
II war is to be prevented, or its
likelihood diminished, success can be
attained only by the existence some
where, II not power that will control
at least influence which will restrain
the absolute sovereignty states in
dealings with each other. Whence
is that power or influence to be de-
rived II not from the peoples inhab-
tting the different states, whose
every interest demands the suppress
sion Of war? The weak point in all
plans SO far discussed is that action
of states is to be controlled, restrain
ed or influenced in conferences Of
those states themselves, to the ex-
clusion OF other peoples who are to
be affected by the decisions reached
1t must be remembered that it is not
merely the peoples OF states imme-
diately concerned who are affected
by war, but all mankind"
THE experience of the present war
has brought all thinking people to
see that intracite development and
commercial and financial reaction

two great powers necessarily disla-
Gates that commercial life, with re-
curtis disastrous to all. It is there
fore a practical question how the
league may be constituted in which
the voice of that great body Of peoples
may be effectively heard and its influ-
ence effectively exercised.
How can the world be made safe
for democracy more surely than by
entrusting share in the future guard
1anship OF safety, purchased at SO
great a price, to a body representa-
tive of the worlds democracy the
members of which have been selected
by that democracy? Inclusinon in the
league or body in which the worlds
people would act through their repre-
sentatives democratically elected, for
that purpose, by popular vote, would
not prejudicially affect the powers to
be exercised by the states under any
other plans proposed Moreover,
within the body itself each state un-
der any other plans proposed More
over. within the body itself each state
would find legitimate protection in
adequate representation therein of its
own people.

has been said, look forward to a sys-
tenn of international relations main

Home-Cured Meats
BY GRACE e. HADLEY,
Home Demonstration AgeI

Butchering time is at hand on the
Indiana farms. Home-cured country
hams, broiled, fried or baked. Is there
any thing more delicious?
1t is to be regretted that the home
curing Of meats is becoming a lost
art; however, a movement has been
started to revive this practice, for
the cheapest meat a farmer can use
is the product of his own farm. This
is also true of the suburban farmer,
who fattens one or two hogs on kitch-
en- and truck garden waste.
Home cured meats when we'll cur
ed are superior to the packing house
products; they have the home flavor
which the commercial firms cannot
give, and then they can be produced
for much less than the cost of pur-
chased meat. The home canning of
meats, too, has proven most success
fulfill so that fresh meats may be
on the farms at all seasons, and all
parts of the animal saved that are
not suitable for curing.
Meat should never be frozen either
prior to or during the period of cur
ing. The proper time to begin curing
ham is when the meat is cooled and
still fresh. Twenty-four to thirty-six
hours after killing is the opportune
time.
Salt, saltpeter, sugar and molases
are the principle preservatives used in
curing pork. Salt, when applied alone
to meat, makes it very hard and dry,
because it's action draws out the meat
juices and hardens the fibers. Salt
peter Is used to preserve the natural
color of the meat but should be used
sparing1y. Sugar and molasses soften
the muscle fibers and improve the
flavor of the meat, hence the combina-
ton OF salt and sugar make a good
cure.
Brine-Cured Pork.
For each hundred pounds of meat
use eight pounds of salt, two and one
half pounds or sugar or strip, two
ounces of saltpeter, and four gallons
of water. In warm weather nine OF
ten pounds of salt are preferable. Al
low four days cure for each pound in
ham or shoulder and three days for
bacon and small pieces. The brine
should be made the day before it is
to be used, so that 1t will be cool. All
the ingredients are poured into the
water and boiled until thoroughly mix.
ed. Place large pieces in bottom of
container, small cuts on top, pour In
the brine and be sure it covers the
meat thoroughly. In five days pour
OF the brine and change the arrange.
ment OF the meat. then pour back the
brine. Repeat this operation again on
the tenth and eighteenth days.

Local Teachers Attend
the Conference on
Educational Bills

Miss Martha Whitacre and Guy sip
pie, Richmond teachers were present
at an open discussion of the education
al bills before the state legislature
which was held in Indianapolis Satur-
day
Governor Goodrich was present and
spoke for about an hour on the legis-
lative questions which the teachers of
the state are interested at this time.
Guy Sipple said today that Governor
Goodrich favored a new pension, and
expressed himself as not favoring the
present law.
The qualification law, bill 119 was
discussed, and favored by the repre-
sentatives from Richmond. House bill
120, which asks for raise in the tut
tion fund in the state was discussed
also. Both these bills il passed will
effect Richmond teachers. The form
er Is said will have a tendency to not
only raise the standard of teaching,
but put barrier on the football use
of the teaching profession by persons
who do not intend to pursue teaching
as a work.
The annual election of officers for
the Indiana Federation of. Teachers
was also held by the members of the
executive and representative boards
Saturday. Miss Martha Whitacre was
reelected recording secretary and
Cup Sipple was named on the legisla-
tive committee which was appointed
at that time.

The tax commissioners have agreed
also that the bill will stand q better

meet the objection that assessment

vised to provide more definitely for
separation. for taxation purposes, Of
