GOLDSBORO A THEM ALL

h Highest Possible Testimonial of the
Superior Excellence of a Native Food
Product.
Some months ago, just prior
TO the seeding season. our we'll
known aud progressive towns
man Mr.. Henry We'll wrote for
these columns an elaborate and
comprehensive article on t.Rice
Culture" that was widely copied
throughout the rice growing sec
ton of the State aud universally
commended.
In our comment on the article
at the time of it's publication the
ARGUS took occasion to say that
Mr.. We'll was not only a>patriot,
but a benefactor. as well, to the
farmers of Eastern North Caro-
lima by reason of the Ii :ely in
terest manifested on his part in
their welfare and the intelligent
and timely advise given them IL
regard to a crop he considered to
their best advantage to plant.
Doubtless most of our farmer
readers throughout this section,
as we'll as the farmers who read
the papers into which it was cop
led, have that article filed away
for reference. It showed that
MI. We'll had givsn to the subject
much study and careful research.
The sequel proves that he was
divining the future with unerring
eye, and the farmers who fols
lowed his advice made no mis-
take.
The current issue Of the
'American Journal of Health"
a periodical published in New
York, and recognized as the
highest authority in it's special
line, contains the following ar
ticle as it's leading editorial:
WISDOM IN FOOD.
Scarcely a day passes that the
editorial department of this jour
nal is not confronted with fresh
proof that those responsible for the
catering for the family table rely
largely upon the guidance of the
hygienic writer. This grave i'm
portance of the proper selection of
food products is becoming deeply
impressed upon the housekeeper.
The labor, time and space in its
columns which the American Jour-
nal of Health constantly devotes to
the subject of food selection re-
ceive, we find, the fullest appre-
citation from it's readers; and it is
our own thorough consciousness
of this fact, joined to our keen
appreciation of the responsibility
devolving upon the hygienic press,
that urges us to unrelaxed effort
to afford the most thorough infor-
nation. Good health and pure
food r almost Synonymous
terms; no man, woman or child
ever was or ever will be healthy if
they are careless about the food
they eat. They need, too, a con-
slant reminder of this truth.
And as the public perpetually
needs this reminder, we perpetual
ly investigate on its behalf, and
have just concluded our examina.
ton into the claims of the rice Of
fered by the Carolina Rice Mills
of Goldsboro N. G. AS in every
similar instance our mode of as
certaining the facts about this pro-
duct has included the tests which
we have repeatedly referred to in
previous articles. We have thus
secured a result which leaves no
uncertainty, and r able to res.
port that this product is distin-
guished by the highest per centage
of nutritive quality, that it is no
tably pure, and can be used with
entire satisfaction.
Such is the verdict we pro-
nounce for tie benefit of the read
ers of the American journal of
Health, whom we are so frequent
ly obliged to warn against inferior
food products of all kinds. The
rice Of the Carolina Rice Mills is
an article eminently desirable for
the most careful and conscientious
housekeeper's use. We have de-
monstrated this fact so unmistak-
kably in the course of our examin-
alton that we desire to impress
it on all who read this article.
The separation of the food pro-
ducts which, by reason of their
excellence, should be kept perma-
nently upon the housekeeper's
list from those which should be
avoided is the %hygienist's task. In
performing it he is aided by skill
full analysts and the scientific
knowledge which comes from
training and long practical exper-
fence. When his task is perform
ed, he publishes the facts he has
discovered-he instantly and inns
partially either condemns or in.
dorses, according to the facts.
Purity which has been proved,
wholesomeness that cannot be
doubted, the nutrition that can
