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

As the habits and conditions OF lndI-
viduaIs 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 OF
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 1T

BY EDWARD W. PICKARD.

IT, as George Nlcol Barnes of Eng
land asserts, disarmament Is the real
acid test of the success Of the League
of Nations, the league cannot yet Toe
said to be wholly successful. The as
sembly at Geneva last week received
the report of the disarmament com
mittee and though ii proved to be
rather nabby production, 1t was adopt
ed. The limitations clause was amend
ed so that IL was merely a recon-
mendation that limitation of arma-
ments be established for the next two
years through mutual agreement
among the powers. With respect to
this France made the reservation that
she was obliged to restore her alna-
ments that had been worn out by the
war, and Belgium and Spain made
similar reservations. Then seven ma
tIons voted against the limitation
clause. These were France GREECE, fo-
land. Roumania, Brazil, Chile and
Uruguay.
The committee explained that,
though it was in favor OF the speed

tests recently made by the Expert
mental Kitchen of the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
How the Canning Is Done.
To prepare the bird for canning, 1t
should be carefully picked and all pin
feathers removed; 1t should be then
singed and washed in water IN which
Il 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 I'm
cold water. The glblets and excess in
festival 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 OF
stewod, but the best results have been
obtained when the unc0oked chicken
was packed into the Jars. The Jars
may be filled 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 10 n pint jar) was added, The
meat In jars to which no liquid was
added has kept as well as that I'm Jars
filled with liquid, and has possessed a
superior flavor The following method
IS, therefore, recommended by the
Experimental Kitchen.
Pack the pieces into pint Jars. As
much IA a pound Of chicken can often
be packed into pint jar Two chick
ems weighing before dressed a little
over pounds each, when cut up for
canning will I'll FIVE pint jars. For
example, jar ! may contain thigh,
leg, flet of breast, and saddle; Jar ,,
neck, wing, leg, fillet Of breast, and
two wish bones jar 3 a saddle, neck,
thigh and fIlet Of breast; jar 4, a
wing, leg, thigh, and breast bone; jar
., a fiIlet Of breast, thigh, 2 wings and
a leg When the meat has been pack
ed into the jar, add n half teaspoon
Of salt to each, partially seal, and
process.
II water-bath outfit Is used for
the processing, set the jars on rack
in the bottom of wash boiler with
sufficient water to come 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 gIass-topped jars fastened
by spring are used, force the spring
into position while the Jars are stlll
immersed. After sealing inyert the
jars to test for leaks while cooling.
Reduces Time Of Process.
If a Steam-pressure cooker Is used
the length of time can be greatly re-
duccd. Fifteen pounds pressure for
one hour has been found safe and
satisfactory period.
Chicken canned in either the water
bath or pressure cooker Is desirable

with fresh chicken when used for
chicken salad, creamed chicken, chick

or baked dishes.

Despite certain concessions granted
by Premier Lloyd George nothing

Element the premier said: "The Irish
governmental authorities will afford
you the necessary facilities for see

CARDS Mr.. De Valera, the ordinary
methods of communication with
America fully are open to you"
At about the same time It was re-
ported that De Valera was on his way
from America TO Ireland. and in Lon
don it was understood tacit permission
for his return had been given by
Lloyd George. The dispatches said
he would be met at Liverpool and per

Several important things were ac-
complished last week by the assem-
bly,. First Of these was the adoption
of statute for a permanent interna-
tonal court of justice, The plan now
goes to the member states for ratitl-
cation. If ii Is approved by -, or
majority, before the next meeting Of
the assembly the judges will be
chosen and the court will come into
existence In September, 1921. In the
debate on the project there was
hot contest between Europe on one
side and Latin-AmeriCa on the other
over the question whether the juriS-
diction of the court should be ObIiga-
tory or voluntary. Europe won out
and the statute as adopted does not
make obligatory the appearance of
both parties to a dispute, and pro
vidcS no penalty for noncompliance
with the courts decisions. The Euro
pean delegates defended the scheme
as the best beginning that can b.
made. but the Latin-AmcricanS were
very skeptical rs to the value Of OPP
tiomal jurisdiction.

was voted in Wednesday without OPP
postion, four members refraning from

The action on Austria brought on
lively passage between Motta of
Switzerland and Niviani of France.
The former took occasion to say that
his country had always regretted the
rejection Of Germany's application for
admission whereupon Vviani lpaped
10 the tribune and In a fiery speech
defended the French position in OPP
posing Germany's admission. Most of
the assembly was with him and he
was enthusiastically applauded. Lux

were admitted 10 the league,

were chosen as the four elective mem
