RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De.
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

The story of canning goes back
to 1875, when the rFench govern
ment sought to improve the food
supply of the army and navy by
offering a prize for the discovery
Of some method Of preserving food
from one harvest to another.
Among those who sought this
prize was Nicolas Appert, a Par
isian confectioner, who worked on
the problem for years and finally
in 1909 succeeded in preserving
certain foods by sealing them in
especially made glass bottles
which were kept in boiling water
for various lengths of time. Ap-
pert was awarded the 10000
francs prize offered by the French
government. The food preserving
firm he founded is still in business
today in France.
We are now so accustomed to
the daily use of home canned and
commercially canned foods that
we would find it hard indeed to
imagine cooking without them.
Since the time of Appert lower
cost container-the tin can, has
ben developed from the hand-cut,
hand ?soldered, hand-closed prod
uct of the early nineteenth century
to the present machine-formed
lacquer lined can, machine sealed.
The pressure cooker has been de-
veloped for some canning and for
commercial canning as a way to
apply higher temperature and
so reduce the cooking time. Me-
chanical washers, cleaners, grad
ers, peelers, trimmers, corn husk-
ers, bean shippers, the pea viner,
and other machines have been de-
veloped to speed up the food prep
aration.
The bacterial theory of Pasteur
was not announced until 1860 It
was not until this time that can
ners understood why certain prac-
tlces of canning were successful
and knew that spoilage occurred
with bacterial action.
The cans which are now used
commercially are made of steel
sheets coated with tin. Govern
ment investigation has shown that
there is nothing in these materials
which is injurious to health. 1t is
an old fashioned idea that food
must be emptied from a can i'm
mediately after it is opened Ac-
tually there could be no container
in the kitchen which would be
safer or cleaner.
The commercial Gamer does not
use surplus produce for his prod
uct. Most Gamers contract ahead
of time and many even furnish
their own seed to make sure of a
uniform product suitable for can
ming.
1t is indeed a far cry from the
early experiments of Nicolas APP
pert in his efforts to provide var
iety in food for the French army
and navy.

STATE TO DONATE
 $2,499 TO FUND
Connecticut Sharing Ap- propriation for Preser.
 vation of Wildlife

Hartford, Jan. 30-Connecticut's share of funds under the Putnam Robertson federal aid to wildlife act amounts to $2,499.22, the state board of fisheries and game an- nounced today. tiHl FtlFY
 The money represents this states pro rata share of an appropriation of $i,000,000 from the federal excise tax on arms and ammunition. The appropriation Is being allocated to states on basis of aera and num- her of hunting licenses cold.
 To obtain the funds, states must p..Cvide for payment of one-quarter of the cost of wildlife restoration projects which come within require ments laid down by the secretary of agriculture. Connecticut must pro- vide $833,07. and rojects of perma- nent value to wildlife of the state already are being planned, Super intendent Russell P. Hunter states.
 A further requirement. is that states may not permit diversion of hunting license revenue to other than wildlife restoration purposes A bill assenting to the federal re- quirements is now before the legis- lature.
 Hunting and fishing license reve- nue in Connecticut already is ear- marked for fish and game purposes under existing state laws and the assenting bill would effect nc change.

h The Local 7heaters
STATE

John Garfield, the sensational dis covery of 1888, made smashing debut as a star at the Warner Bros State theater over the weekend when he appeared in Warner Bros drama. "They Made Me A Criminal, currently at this popular theater.
 Thousands have already viewed the great dramatic performance of this young star and have hailed him as the greatest of 1899. His performance in -Four Daughters was a sensation, but wait until you see him in this production.
 The six Dead End" kids are presented as his co-stars and they head fine cast which includes Claude Rains, Gloria Dickson, Ann Sheridan and May Robson whc contribute some of the best drama tic entertainment in years. The pie ture is a melodramatically exciting story, laid against some unusual backgrounds. which not only holds the audience tensely interested throughout but ends with a twist that Is at once genuinely surprising and sure to please everyone whc see it. tet
 Garfield's performance is triumph of versatile, sensitive acting. In the beginning, as the fighter who is or top. he is a cocky. self-assured fel- low. His change of character comes about gradually, with fine shadings marking each step. Perhaps the out standing characteristic of his acting is its intense reality. his deep emo. tional sincerity. There can be nc doubt that here is young actol who has something really worth while to give to the screen.
 In the second big, There's All ways A Woman" the scatter-brain. cd Reardon couple returned to tho screen with new thrill and new laughs. Melvyn Dougles as Bill Rear don and Virginia Bruce as his wift Sally are seen, to good advantage if the further misadventures of tht detective couple. Douglas subtly au' ments his previous characterization of the wife-suffering sleuth while Virginia Bruce rises to new comedy peaks as an even more deliriou' Sally. -rt

LAWYERS FAVORED BY STATE RULING
Testamentary Trustee of Estate May Write Bond
 on Self

Acting as testamentary trustee of an estate, an attorney who Is also a licensed agent for a surety company has the legal privilege of writing a bond on himself. paid for by the estate and receiving the proper commission from the trans action, Attorney General Francis A Pallotti states in ruling addressed to Insurance Commissioner John O Blackall.
 Neither the attorney Insurance agent nor the estate violates section 4l44 of the general statutes which forbids any insurance agent or client from granting or receiving any rebate or dividend not provided for specifically In the policy, accord ing to the ruling, in such a case.
 While Section 47so of the general statutes" MT. Pallotti stated, pro- hibits judge of probate or officer or employe of any probate court from acting as agent for any surety or bonding company issuing a bond to any fiduciary required to furnish bond in any proceedings before such judge, no similar provision ex- ists in our statutes in relation to trustees or other fiduciaries. The fact that the agent Is also an at. torney-at-law does not change the situation"
 The opinion concluded with the statement that "the receipt of the money which he earns individually as an agent is not an unjust enrich- ment from the estate, but is a re- turn to him of definite amount by virtue of the preferred position he occupies in the whole transac- tion."

LOW MORTALITY l RATE REALIZED
Insuraice COmpany's Pre- dictiOns Earlier in Year
 Come Through

The lowest death rate in their history, the best life expectancy, and a saving, in the year just closed, as compared with the 1911 mortality rate, of more than l10,- 900 lives, established in 1888 as the healthiest year ever eXperi- enced by the millions of indus trial policyholders of the Metro politan Life Insurance company.
 The death rate, according to the company's statisticians, dropped to the all-time low of 7.7 per 1000, an almost unbelievable figure rep resenting an improvement of 6.8 per cent in single year. The life expectancy increased l.15 years to 6l.86 years, figure that is only slightly below that of the general public.
 An unprecedentedly low mortal ity rate was predicted by the statisticians earlier in the year, and the final results have borne out the predictions. Showing what mortality improvement means, the statisticians refer to the 1911 rec ords of the company. The 1888 death rate represents a drop of 40 per cent from that of 1911, and the improvement in mortality since that date means that over the period since elapsed, there has been a total saving of 383,E000 lives.
 Concurrent with tine great im- provements in mortality, gains have been made in the expecta- tion of life of the polcyholders.
 In 19l1-1912, this expectation was 46.63 years, or 6.4l less than that of the general population. In 1886, the latest date for which rec ords for the general population are available, the policyholders ex- pectation of life was 60.31 years, or only half a year less than that for the general public. With the 1888 figure for the policyholders now registering 61.86 years-the all-time high point for this wage- earning group-the statisticians point out that in all probability it is now essentially the same as the expectation of life for the general population"
