SOAP SUBSTITUTES FAVORED
Soapbark, Starch Water or Bran Wa
ter Are Not Likely to lnJure
Delicate Colors.

When the action of. soap is likely to
injure a delicate color, use soapbark,
starch water, or bran water, advise
home economics specialists of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Soapbark, although not soap, when
heated in water will form suds. To
prepare 1t for use, boil for 10 minutes
a cup of the bark with 1 quart of
water then cool and strain the liquid.
The "soapy" water may be used full
strength for sponging, or diluted for
washing; half of this amount is
enough for one-half tubful of water.
Since the liquid is bfownish, it should
be used only on dark-colored goods.
Starch water is especially good for
cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This
is usually made by adding thin starch
paste to the wash water. Water in
which rice has been boiled, If 1t is
not discolored, may be used instead.
II 1t is not desirable to have the ma
terial starched slightly, 1t must be
rinsed in salt water.
Bran water, made in the same way
as soapbark solution, is useful with
colors that are likely to fade. 1t does
not give suds, but cleans like starch
water.

INDIVIDUALS DIFFER
ON FOOD MATERIALS
Each Person Should Experiment
With Himself.
Food Specialists Say Too Much Is as
Bad as Too LittIe-Economicai to
Avoid Expensive Cuts Of
Meats and Fruits.

As the habits and conditions of indi-
vlduals differ, so, too, their needs for
nourishment differ, and their food
should be adapted to their particular
requirements. Each person should
learn by experience what kinds or
food yield him nourishment with the
least discomfort, and should avoid
those which do not agree with him.
Too much food is as bad as too lit
tie, and occasions a waste of energy
and strength in the body as well as
a waste of nutritive material, say
food specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. While in
the case of some foods as purchased,
notably meats, some waste Is I'M
avoidahle. the pecuniary loss can be
diminished, both by buying those kinds
In which there Is the least waste, and
by utilizing more carefully than Is
ordinarily done portions of what is
usually classed as refuse. Much of
the waste may be avoided by careful
planning so as to provide a comfort
able and appetizlng meal in sufficient
amount, but without excess.
II strict economy is necessary, the
dearest cuts of meat and the more ex-
pensiye fruits and vegetables should
be avoided. With reasonable care In
cooking and serving pleasing and
varied diet can be furnished at mod
crate cost. 1t should not be forgotten
that the real cheapness or dearness
of food material depends not only
on its market price, but also on the
cost of its dlgestible nutrients. 1t
should always be remembered that
"the ideal diet Is. that combination OF
foods, which. while imposing the least
burden on the body. supplies it with
exactly sufficient material to meet It's
wants." and that any disregard OF such
a standard must inevitably prevent
the best development of our powers.

practice. as 1t is cheaper to can the
birds than 1t is to feed them until they
are wanted for the table. Nor Is 1t
necessary to have young chickens for
canning, for the older birds have SUI
perior flavor and quite as good tex
ture as the younger ones. Two-year

chicken. The best products were OBJ
tained from plump. well-fed hens In
tests recently made by the Expert
mental Kitchen OF the United States
Department OF Agriculture.
How the Canning 10 Done.
To prepare the bird for canning, II
should be carefully picked and all pin
feathers removed; II should be then
sipged and washed In water in which
. small amount OF baking soda has
been dissolved. Remove the entrails,
cut the meat into pieces as for fry
ing. and carefully wash each piece In
cold water. The giblets and excess In
testinal fat should not be put into the
Jars. The chicken may be partially
cooked before being placed in the
jar, being either Drowned In fat or
stewed, but the best results have been
obtained when the uncooked chicken
was packed into the Jars. The Jars
may be filed with hot water or broth,
or the meat may be canned without
the addition OF liquid. The best prod
uct has resulted when no liquid or
only a small quantity (about table
spoons to a pint jar) was added. The
meat In Jars to which no liquid was
added has kept as well as that In jars
filled with liquid, and has possessed
superior flavor. The following method
is, therefore, recommended by the
Experimental Kitchen.
Pack the pieces into pint Jars. As
much as a pound of chicken can often
be packed into a pint jar. Two chick
ems weighing, before dressed, a little
over pounds each. when cut up for
canning will fill five pint Jars. For
example, jar 1 may contain thigh.
leg. filet of breast, and saddle; jar 2,
a neck, wing, leg, fillet of breast. and
two wish bones; jar g. a saddle, neck.
thigh, and fillet of breast; jar 4, a
wing, leg, thigh, and breast bone; Jar
5, flllet Of breast, thigh. 2 wings, and
a leg. When the meat has been pack
ed into the jar, add half teaspoon
of salt to each, partially seal, and
process.
If a water-bath outfit is used for
the processing, set the Jars on rack
in the bottom of a wash boiler with
sufficient water to come 2 inches
above their tops. Process pint jars
continuously for six hours after the
water begins to boil. Seal the jars
quickly upon removing from the boil
er, or If glass-topped jars fastened
by a spring are used, force the spring
into position while the jars are still
immersed. After sealing invert the
jars to test for leaks while cooling.
Reduces Time Of Process.
If steam-pressure cooker is used
the length of time can be greatly re-
dueed. Fifteen pounds pressure for
one hour has been found a safe and
satisfactory period.
Chicken canned in either the water
bath or pressure cooker is desirable
product, comparing very favorably
with fresh chicken when used for
chicken salad, creamed chicken, chick
en- stew, chicken pie, or for scalloped
or baked dishes.
The chicken in a pint Jar is suff-
Client to serve six persons when the
meat is prepared in any Of the ways
mentioned.

ITALIAN SHOOTER WINS
INTERNATIONAL TITLE

The latest French exchanges con-
tain the account of the Grand Prix du
Casino at Monte Carlo. the greatest OF
live bird shooting events, and the one
which carries with IL the title OF in
ternational championship OF the
world. Inaugurated in 1879. the con
est has outlasted the innovation OF
clay bird shooting, and even the great
lixht contrast of land, sky and water
is unchanged to the present time and
as puzzling to the shooter as IL was a
generation ago. A big crowd of women
attended the shoot and applauded the
work of the competitors. All the Euro
pean countries We're represented. Italy
having the strongest delegation. and
1t was only natural tn She Italians
should capture the jor share of the
honors. First prize was won by Signcr
Fadini. with run of 22-21. and he
received the sum of $3.50 francs. Dan
Bradley of the New York A. c. won
it in 1905, when il was worth $4,000
francs
The second money fell to Signor Ca
coairi. also an Italian, and he got $3.50
francs. Signor Baggiv finished in third
place. and his share was the same as
Signor Cacoairfs. One Englishman
figured in the money in George Har-
rison. who scored fifth, and was pre-
sented with 1900 francs. Signor
Cuomo, the Italian, was the favorite
in the betting. but he was affected
with nervousness and retired early in
the contest.

Look Over Your Clubs.

Now is the tine to get your clubs in
shape for the season which is at hand.
Before l step on a golf course the fol-
lowing things will have happened to my
set of clubs: Every shaft will be care
fully examined. and if there is one with
even a suggestion of crookedness out
it must come, to be replaced by an alb
solutely straight shaft. Even in midsum-
mer il ! discover shaft varying from
the straight line it is Immediately
changed.
Always | am careful to see that these
new shafts are Of the exact length of
the old ones. for it took me years TO
determine the lengths easiest for me 10
play, and at the same time permitting
ME to get the greatest distance.
Spring is the best time to make any
needed change of clubs. because it is
dollars to cents that you will never
change after the season is really on.
There is always transition period with
the new club, and a man does not like
to pass through it during the playins
season. You will feel sure that John
Smith will beat you in the match tomor-
row, and SO you wait until the season
is over, for there are always tomorrows
on which John Smiths must be beaten.
/ am going to use the same make OF
ball the season through, unless there
should be some very wonderful ball in
is dangerous proposition, and one that
1 carefully avoid. 1 would never play
an important match with a ball 1 was
unaccustomed to use. 1t is true that
at several matches I CHANGED to have
few new makes of balls in my bag,
expecting to try them out when I had
time for my mind is always open to
new things. and l fancy that the new
balls are very good ones), but have not
even at this late date given the new
make of balls real try out.
In matches which 1 have played it has
occasionally been my good fortune to
get drives of great distance. SURPRISING
This has been followed by reports that
was employing a new wonder ball My
intimate friends and 1 get a good deal
of amusement from such reports, for
am known as a man Of very settled
hab bits when it comes to sticking to one
