Perhaps not in the whole list of
Food Products is there an article so
seldom found pure as Extract Of Va
nilla. This is because the adultera.
ton is so hard to detect by sight or
odor. Vanillia.a substance made from
coal tar and so unwhOlesOme as to
merit a classification with poisons,
smells so much like the pure oil from
the vanilla bean that those most ia
miliar with these odors cannot tell
them apart. 1t is safe to say that
four-fifths of the Vanilla Extract on
the market is solution of this SUBJ
stance colored with burnt sugar This
is much cheaper than the pure Extract
of Vanilla can possibly be made. but
when you buy it you do not get it
cheaper.
We sell an Extract of Vanilla that is
made from the Beans, with no Vanil-
liza or Tonka added, and we sell it
cheaper than any bottled goods on
the market. Full ounces 15c; two

he, "but you have disappointed the

Rice Planting in Texas

A friend handed The HERALD a
copy of 81. Lonis Globe Democrat
of recent date, which contains a
special from Austin noting the
amount of capital which has be-
come interested in rice culture in
Texas during the past year. From
this, 1t is learned that there
were twenty-five companies or
ganized in this state during
the year 1901, for the purpose
of growing rice the capital stock
of these companies aggregating
81 ,972 900 Ii addition to these
two were organized for the pur-
pose of milling rice, each with a
capital stock of $4,000. 1t is
estimated that the rice acreage in
Texas the coming season will be
more than tre0led.
Prominent among these new
organizations is uoted the
Brownsville Land and Irrigation
company, standing third in the
amount Of its capital stock, which
amounts to $3.50 900, This COM
pany, as HERALD readers already
know, made II fine experimental
crop on its land near Brownsville
last year, and is now constructing
an immense irrigatlng canal
by means of which thousands of
acres of rice will be cultivated
the coming season. The growth
of the rice industry in Texas is
phenomena, aud il promises to
hasten the long hoped for develop
mpnt of the rich resource of the
lower RIO Graude region.
