Desirable quality in the flesh of
poultry intended for table use depends
on the favor of the flesh on the tex
portion to the weight of the bird and
on the distribution Of both the flesh
and the larger masses of fat over the
carcass. Other things being equal, the
flesh of the females usually is milder
than that of the males. say home
economic specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Caponizing makes the flavor of cocks
more delicate, tends to produce finer
and less tough muscle fibers, and in
creaseS the size of the masses of meat,
especially in the breast.
Effects of Age on Flavor.
Age tends to increase flavor, at first
advantageously, but later usually, dis
advantageously. Most very young
birds have a flavor too mild to be sat

ly is lost in decidedly old birds. AS
the bird grows older, the proportion
of flesh to bone usually Increases, at
least up to the period of full matur-
ity. Often the large masses of flesh
found on such birds can be utilized
more satisfactorily than the smaller
ones found on young and scrawny
chickens.
Exercise affects the flavor and tex
ture Of poultry flesh, as in any kind
of meat. 1t toughens the fihers and
the connective tissues, and lessons the
amount of fat. 1t may also affect the
distribution of flesh on the carcass in
creasing the naturally strong, tough
muscles rather than the less-used, ten
der ones. In some birds, notably
chickens, the exercise can be con-
trOlled. Almost any poultry, however,
can safely be penned for few days.
before killing.
The difference between the flesh of
plump chicken and of a lean one
of similar kind and age is due princi-
pally to the fat present. The skill of
the fattener, from the consumers

Forest trees grown on the farm add

material for farm use, such as poles,
posts and cordwood; and they afford
shelter for live stock, and protect
crops and buildings from the hot

also In getting the fat well distributed

importance of Special Feeding.
Chickens fattened on a mash of
grain and milk acquire delicate fla
vor. Special feeding often imparts Il
very desirable flavor This is found
in canvasback ducks, for example,
which are considered at their best
when they have fed on wild celery.
Celery and chestnuts sometimes are
used to give turkey flesh a special fla
vor. Birds intended for table use
should not be allowed TO eat onions or
wild garlic habthally, because the
sulphur compounds in these plants
pass over into the flesh and give it
taste Objectionable to most persons.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him help
less and unable to work
He finally decided, after years OF
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated impurities, commonly
called uric acid deposits, were dis
solved in the joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With, this idea in mind he con-
suited physicians, made experiments
and finally compounded a prescrip-
tion that quickly and completely
bsnished every sign and symptom
Of rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took 1t, with what
might be. called marvellous success
After years of urging he decided
TO let sufferers everywhere know
about his discovery through the
newspapers. Peoples Drug Stores
have been appointed agents for AL
lenrhu in this vicinity, with the un-
derstanding that they will freely re =
turn the purchase money on the first

That Nine. Louise Homer is a IA

ers was evidenced by the overflow
audience that greeted her and her
charming daughter at Polls Theater
Yesterday afternoon. Not only was
standing room at a premium, but
nve or six rows OF chairs on the
stage were filled with enthusiastic
admirers. This last was a disad-

far forward that the singers had to
stand just where the footlights were
most trying.
OF the two opening numbers the
Schubert Serenadc was particularly
suited to Nine. Homer's voice.
Has Pleasing Voice.
Miss Homer has sung once before
in WASHINGTON, and was enthusiastic
cally received. While her voice is not
large, it is delightfully."- young and
true and very flexible, and she sings
with great intelligence and feeling.
The second Of the four Tuscan
folk-sOng duets was the favOrite,
though there were inSistcnt recalls
after the suite. to which Nine. and
Miss Homer finally responded with
the Brahms "tiypSy Song

Cooking Odors Prevented
by Modern Methods

Modem housewives are almost entirely
overcoming this. They use Mazola-
the New American Salad and Cooking Oil
instead of old-fashioned lard and other
animal fats.
Women who cook the nesO way sit down
to the table when they have prepared the
meal, and enjoy their food. Mazola
doesn't smoke easily-it can be heated so
hot without burning that it crusts over
the surfaces of the food, and prevents the
odors from arising This keeps the odors
and favors in the food, making it richer,
better tasting, more nutritious and di-
gestible.
