ROME, April 5.-Experts from
many lands pooled ideas and began
sorting them out today In q search
for ways Of raising and stabinzing
world wheat prices.
Convening, the international con-
ference was faced with the fact that
the wheat pact drawn at London last
August had failed to prevent appre-
ciable declines in prices.
Conflicting ideas were evident on
the subject Of minimum quotations
for wheat exports-considered the
principal topic up for discussion. Also
on the agenda were legislative meas
ures to increase consumption of wheat
and the control Of all shipments.
Minimum Price Favored.
An informal poll showed England,
France, Germany, Canada and Aus

Nearly all fruits and many veg etables,. especially carrots and cu- cumbers, lend themselves to this method of pickling. Carrots retain their color. are decorative to serve and easier to make than cucumber rings on account of their natura; firmness. Unless cucumbers are at the right stage of maturity they become soft and mushy. Beets small green tomatoes and ripe small yellow tomatoes may also be used to mahe appetizing and col orful pickles which will serve as garnishes for winter salads and meat dishes.
 Canned or dried fruits as well as fresh may be used for pickles. And melon rinds. both cantaloupe and watermelon should be added to the list.
 Cook Pineapple First For pineapple pickles, pare and slice the fruit and cok until ten der. Then cut the slices in wedges and pour boiling vinegar syrup over the fruit for three successive mornings. The fourth morning fruit and syrup are brought to the
 boiling point, put into sterilized jars and sealed.
 Plums, pears, peaches, apples and seedless grapes are all good put up in sweet pickling syrup | However, any fruit that is pickled without removing the skin or rind should be well pierced over the | entire surface.
 The fruit may be cooked until tender in clear water and simmer | ed in the pickling syrup until | transparent. Cor the whole cook | ing process may be done in the syrup. The pickled material should ! be tender and clear. but firm and unbroken when put in cans. Pour | ing the syrup over the fruit or vegetable for several morning in succession insures perfect and unbroken pickle but prolongs the time of preparation. The same general rule may be | used for almost any variety oe | fruit or vegetable. The spices may be varied but the proportions of sugar and vinegar remain the same. The spices are used whole and tied in small cheesecloth bag. Powdered spices darken and discolor the fruit.
 Sweet Tickling Syrup One quart VlnSear, pOunuS light brown sugar. 1-2 cup who'e spices.
 Calculate one-half cup vinega, and 1-2 pound sugar for one pound of fruit.
 Put vinegar. sugar and spices into preserving kettle and bring to the boiling point. Boil five min utes before adding fruit or before pouring the syrup over the fruit. TO-MORROWS MENU BREAKFAST: Ripe plums. cer. cal. cream. sauted eGgplint, crisp toast milk. coffee.
 LCNCHEON: Main disl macaro- nj salad. Boston brown bread and butter sandwiches. ginger ale cool CT.
 DINNER: Watermelon appetizer broiled cuhed steaks, new potatoes in cream saucet buttered broccoli. curly endive with French dressing made with fruit juices, sponge cake and ice cream sandwiches, milk, coffee.

DP YOUR CHILDREN

Many landlord nearly has apoplexy when he goes to show prospective tenants vacant house and discovers the walls, newly papered only a few months ago, bedecked with curlycues and cross es, rakish animols and characters that would stump, authorities on the Rosetta stone.
 Lead pencil, crayon and chalk have traced designs at random wherever the young artist felt moved to draw.
 Out of doors the landlord tears his hair over the recently new paint on the garage doors. A nail has proven better than chalk. Scorings and cartoons here, too.
 "Its an outrage" he sputters. ''I'd have saved money if Id let the house go empty. That kid has cost me more than a hundred dollars.
 Furniture Suffers, Too
 If the irate landlord could fol- low the furniture of his former tenants, almost certainly he would find table tops scratched with pins and other evidences of destruc- ton. The child at the age when he must express himself by hand is no respecter of surfaces. Un- less his mother also expresses her self by hand on the proper sur face or lays down the law other wise, he can ruin too much to justify his self training"
 So what?
 Every child loves to see some thing his own hand has made. When he scribbles, it isn't the color or form that interests him so much as the fact that his chub- by hand can produce at all.

ANNOUNCING THE FARRELL
 REGIMEN

REGIMEN
 Readers who have withstood the yicissitudes of this column long enough will recall now heartiessly I used to dish out the Karell Reg imen for those who insisted they had to reduce.
 This rigorous regimen had two virtues-it was as simple as simple and it reduced and no mistake, IL consisted of taking nothing else but a glass of skim milk (fresn milk from which the cream has been skinned off), hot or cold, slipped slowly, every three hours from morning till bedtime, and once in the night if desired. This was the entire bill of fare for one or more days each week.
 estimate that one out of three persons who tried it had the hardi- hood to adhere to it long enough to achieve reduction. However, accumulated a fat file of testimon- ials from readers who declared they had met with phenomenal success.
 But in spite of these testimon- lalS something told me the karel Regimen was not quite the thing q health advisor should recommend though I had no definite idea as tC just what was wrong with it. How ever, did pipe down on that note and about ten years ago ceased sentencing readers to that dietary Siberia. In a monograph on obes. ity which I began distributing about that time I still mentioned the use of the regimen and ever the legend that Karell first de vised it for one of the Czars.
 Now I wish to recall and annu the Karell regimen. It is obsolete and anachronic. Such a diet may still serve purpose in the treat ment of certain disease conditions but it no longer belongs in { health building program.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-13

Aside from the sharp curtail- ment in the total calories one gets on this regimen (skim milk yields 10 calories per ounce, or say 70 calories in glassfuD, the diet has nothing else to commend 1t. It was good enough in its. day, but it fails to meet the essential require ments as we know them today. Nearly all of the newer knowledge of nutrition has come since the Karell regimen was devised. To- day any regimen designed for de- duction must provide certain min- imum rations which the body de- mands to maintain it's normal functions. The diet must supply not only the proper proportions of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, but also certain vitamins and minerals which are indispensable in the processes of metabo bolism, Moreover, if reduction is brought about by the diet, there must be adequate provision to protect against acidosis, which is more likely to occur when surplus fat is being consumed.
 The Karell regimen fails in all of these fundamental requirements, and therefore merits obliteration. offer my apology and regret for having recommended it, but as l say I didn't know any better. once, when she and l clashed over a cose of either bellyache or ap- pendicities. that I'd know more
