NELSON DEWEY'S NINGS

Thanksgiving week, although much
shorter than usual, has been the bus
lest week of the year at the Dewey.
Much greater preparation was made
and Thanksgiving day hopored in a
more elaborate manner than ever be-
fore in the history of the school
Every room al department from
high school TO kindergarten presented
programs. In each room the walls
ings appropriate for the occasion
which We're made by the various
pupils. Nor were the unfortunate
forgotten by the happy children. The
pupils in every room, of their own
initiative, collected large ThanksgiV-
ing offerings 70: the needy In this
way very generous quantity of food
and clothing was distributed.
The programs of several of the
rooms deserved special mention.
After the regular ceremony there was
an unusual event in Miss Robertson's
room. The girls club had unknown
to the boys prepared n spread in hon
or of the occ tsion. The members of
the Dewey Chapter of the Young Cit

which were very prettily decorated
with the colors of the school. In ad-
dition to the teachers and principal
as sponsors. Mr.. Jackson was present
as special guest and responded to a
call with an appropriate little speech
The six and seventh grades held
most enjoyoble program in Miss
Crumpton's room. The children sent
out illustrated invitations to their
parents and friends, who attended in
large numbers. The walls were beau
tifully decorated with elaborate draw
ings made by the pupils. Every pupil
in the room was represented in some

Mo.Iem Women. Er.oaom

There has been a vast mount of pity
wasted upon the Moslem woman. It
may surprise even the woman SUI
fragist to learn that the laws of Mo-
manned confer upon women 2 greater
degree of legal protection than any
code of laws since the middle Roman
law Only the 0 recent liberties
and protection granted to married
women by the laws of divorce and the
exclusive property rights now in force
in the United States can be properly
compared TO those il force in Turkey.
Under the Moslem laws the provision
for securing to the wife the free and
uncontrolled possession of her property
is infinitely stipulated in the marriage
contract. A suitable sum is also ar
ranged for her maintenance in accord
ance with her husbands rank.-Cen-

for firing by the army regulations.
The lying position alone is prescribed
for the 800 and 1,000-yard ranges,
while It all other ranges UP to 200
yards the lying and sitting positions
are used. At 100 and 200 yards the

is prescribed the kneeling may be SUBJ

VALUE OF RICE IN COOKERY.
Excellent as Breakfast Cereal Vege'
table, Dessert OIL Pudding
How to Boil Rice.

Few housekeepers appreciate the pos
sibilities of rice as a food, says the New
York Tribune. 1t is excellent as a
breakfast cereal, a vegetable, an iced
dessert or a pudding. 1t combines well
With stock in a soup or with eggs and
milk. Unlike most cereals, 1t is deli
cious hat, and equally delicious mixed
with cream and sugar in a chilled des-
sert.
Its nutritive value is much inferior
to that Of wheat. In spite of this fact,
it forms a larger part of human food
than any other product, and is almost
the exclusive diet of thousands in India,
China and the Malayan islands. While
1t is poor in proteid, it is exceedingly
rich in starch (Which is an essential ar
ticle of diet), fully rs per cent. of its
substance consisting of starchy matter.
When used as the chief article of food
in a broth or as a vegetable, it should
always be cooked with stock in order
to supply the necessary proteid, and
thus give the food greater nutritive
value. When used as a dessert it may
be cooked in water or milk and COM
bined with cream and eggs to make it
more acceptable as we'll as more nutri-
tious.
The sage of the palm, the mealy sub
stance of the cassava of South America
on which thousands of people are COM
PEELED to live, are all inferior to rice
in sustaining power. Beans and peas,
on which the European peasants subsist
and manage with plenty of eggs and
cheese to maintain themselves in health,
are far superior to rice in nutritive value.
Rice was introduced in colonial days
as an experiment, and almost by ac-
cident. 1t now furnishes one of the
chief cereals of certain southern states
of this country.
The thickening qualities of rice in a
broth are %uhequaled. Grains of rice
boiled carefully in stock make an ex-
cellent vegetable. 1t should be slow
ly cooked and well sailed. When this
is properly done the grains are swollen
to more than eight times their original
size, and are dry (not moist and sticky,
so that they separate from each other.
Few housewives understand how to
cook rice in this way. Wash it thor
oughly at first. Then, in the proper
ton of one quart of boiling water to
one cup of rice, let the mixture boil
steadily for Is minutes. Pour off any
water remaining, shake the rice well,
and stir it with a fork, not with a spoon,
and let it stand on the back of the stove
90 minutes longer. 1t is better to use
a double boiler during the last 20 min
utes so that there will be no danger
of it's scorching, as it is quite likely
to do in an ordinary boiler. Rice may
be cooked rapidly in a quart of boil
ing stock, instead of water. All the
liquid which is not absorbed must be
turned off. Of course, if this is stock,
it must be added to the stock kettle
and not thrown away. Cooked in this
way in either water or stock, the rice
swells to it's full size, each grain is
distinct and separate, as it always is in
a curry served by an expert cook. In
desserts rice is often mashed before it
is mixed with the eggs and other ingre-
dents.
