TIE FOOD VALUE OF RICE Not So Rich in Tissue Building Els- ments as othov Grains-What
 the Doctors Say.

Certain wise doctors have late " been assuring the world tha; the Japanese are sure to be beat en by the Russians because they live on rice. which is a food not at Ill calculated to supply the vast 1ge upon the human body caused oy tie hardships of military campaign, says the New Yorl, Mail. This may be true, thoueE the world will wait and see. Curi. ously enough. at q time when thr physiologists are giving this warn. ing, the rice growers of the Cuitod States hare combined to teach fa the American people the assumed food value of rice and to indlcr the people, if they can, to consume Il great deal more of that grain than they do.
 As a matter of ascertained fact. rice is below all other grains pro duced in commercial qualities in America in it's food vaIue-bclow wheat. maize, rye, oats, barley and 5ucEwheat. It is vastly poorer than any of these in ash. in pro- tein. in fiber and in fat. and sur. passes them only in starch. It is not to bc thought of for any west ern people as a main article of food. However. it is not as d main article of food that it is used in this country. Our diet is, fortunately, much more varied than that of the Japanese. Rice is employed in increasing quan tity. anu tO advantaGo, as a pal atah;e subsidiary article of the na. iion"' diot T. is 2 pccrl,aritv of

ANOTHER coLoUITT ECHO.

The continuance OF Mr.. Colquitt in
public print has led many people 10
wish for law prohibiting members CT
the railroad commission from offering
themselves for any other public Office
either while in the service Of the state
or afterward. Mr.. Colguitt's utter
ancessali SAVIOR of the demagogue and
the more he talks the less chance be
has for the high office he seeks. In
the words Of homely saying, Every
time he opens his mouth he puts his
foot into it," 1t is an easy matter for
a member OF the railroad commission,
II he is so inclined, to use his office for
pushing his own interests. 1t is q
question open to discussion whether it
would not be better TO let the railroads
have their own sweet way than TO
haye them subject to control at the
hands OF q commission which Is cleo
tive and likely to be made up Of dema-
gogues and petty politicians.-Austin
News Tribune.
Commissioner Colquitt is only max
ing a very active canvass for the posi-
ton OF governor and is following
closely the precedent that has long
prevailed in this state. If he is dem
agogue, many demagogues have pre-
ceded him. Still, it would be good
idea to eliminate politics from the
state railroad commission. Jim Hogg
