The question Of water goes back
much further than We stop TO think.
For example, we are told in the book
OF Joshua that when Caleb's daughter
Achsah was given 10 General Othneil
in consideration Of his capture Of the
city OF Debir. and the matter of her
dowry was being discussed. she said to
her father: Thou hast given NE a
south land. Give NE also springs Of
water"
She understood that the tract sloping
southwark toward the deserts Of Ara
bia was mountainous, swept by hot
winds and de1clent in rain supply. 81
she wanted besides a piece of land
well warered and fertile that it might
be pr0ftahiy cultivated.

RICE WATER NUTRITIOUS.
Curious Way Some British officers
Discovered This Fact.


1t is probable that few occidental
cooks who prepare rice in various
forms for diet are aware that in dis
carding the water in which il is boiled
they are wasting what IS regarded by
the oriental as the most nutritious part
of the food. This fact was curiously
proved some years since when a de-
tachment of Europeans and native
troops in India found themselves be-
leaguered in fort with insufficient ra-
tons. even Of rice. TO enable them TO
hold out until force could march to
their relief.
Ii was when the officers were seri-
ously debating this problem that the
natives approached them with what
was regarded as a curious solution of
the difficulty. If. proposed the latter,
tie Europeans took all the rice, they.
the natives. would be quite content
with the water in which il was boiled.
The suggestion. in place OF any better.
was adopted. when it was remarked
that while the Europeans found it diff
fcult TO maintain their strength on full
ratiOns of rice the natives lost none Of
their stamina by several weeks diet on
the water When the proposal was
made. the action of the natives was
praised as one of great devotion TO
their superiors. but the sentiment was
somewhat Modified when the discov-
cry was made that the natives were
quite aware that the principal nourish-
ment lay in the water.
Since that time Europeans in the orr
ent, following the custom of the na-
tives. have given rice water TO pa
tients. particularly in cases Of cholera,
as a last resort when no other food can
be retained in the stomach and usually
with good results. But the natives al
ways value this water so highly that it
is never thrown away.
In fact, it wonld surprise many cooks
to discover how much may be done
with this apparently worthless stock.
II the rice is cooked in the oriental
fashion-that IS. boiled only 50 long
that each grain comes out OF the pan
separate and not as a sodden mass
the water when strained of and per-
mitted to cool will become a jelly ap-
preaching the consistency Of blanc
mango. 10 suit the occidental palate
the water should be favored with an
extract or otherwise the jelly may
have rather an insipid taste

have received the most fiattering press
notices everywhere.
Thirty thousand moving pictres are
given. Among the scenes depicted will
be the assassination of President McKin-
ley; the electrocution of Czolgosz; Mrs.
Nation and her followers smashing a
Kansas City saloon, colored pictures; the
Presidents funeral; Galveston yclone
complete; why Mr.. Nation got a divorce,
In c%olors; a Rube's visit to a studio, fun
NEST of all moving pictures; a tramp's
dream; a fat and lean mans wrestling
match; a mystic picture; the champion
acrobatic Craig family of the world;
Hooligan's visit to the city park and ma
ny others, ~laughabIe and sad, humorous
and pathetic, Instructive and funny.
Beatty Brothers have spared no expense
in securing theb est hat the ingenuity of
man affords. This is an opportunity to
see a first-class performance at a rea-
sonable price. Everybody who has had
