4 HALF-MILLloN FOR QUARTERS

The great number of immigrants ar
irving at Ellis island and the delays
necessary in giving them a thorough
examination, makes it necessary that
the government should enlarge the
buildings there. 1t often happens that
several thousand immigrants are
forced to enjoy the hospitality of the
government for days while investiga-
tons are being made as TO their health
and legal status. With five thousand
Immigrants arriving in New York
harbor in q single day, the govern
Inent must often play host on a very
liberal scale. Last year upwards of
800, 600 aliens were inspected, under
the immigration laws, at the island
Despite the many buildings On the
island, Uncle Sam frequently runs
short of guest chambers. An appro-
priation Of s455,o00 has been asked
from congress for new buildings. 1t
is proposed to equip special rooms
where . scientific inspection of doubt
fvl aliens may be made, while the
cabin passengers may be cared for
with some degree of comfort. Mean
while an appropriation of $4,000 has
been made for immigration stations

Chinese Rice.

The Chinese method of cooking rice
differs from that of the ordinary
housewife. and the rice, when done,
instead of being a mushy, sticky paste,
is spotlessly white and perfectly dry,
and with each grain standing by itself.
To attain these results, pick the rice
over carefully, to remove all refuse:
then wash it through several waters,
rubbing it between the hands to re-
move the coating Of starchy powder
When the water is perfectly clear you
will know that the rice is in fit condi-
ton to be cooked. Have some water
boiling in a saucepan. the proportions
being about two quarts of water to
each half pint OF rice. Sprinkle the
rice in SO slowly that the water will
scarcely stop boiling. and cook 1t at a
gallop In order that the grains may be
kept in motion while boiling. Do not
stir or touch the rice in any way after
the grains have commenced to soften.
When they are done drain off all the
water and set the pan In the oven that
the rice may SVEN. Do not let it cook
or brown, and serve II as soon as II
has become thoroughly dry, which will
probably be in less than ten minutes.

UNIFORMITY OF LAW NECESSARY

There is no question as to the i'm
portanca of absolute uniformity be-
tween the, national and state pure
food laws, especially in the matter OF
the weight misbranding prohibition
At the present time thirty nine states
have taken the national law, leaving
the country absolutely uniform on the
subject, with the exception OF North
Dakota, which passed weight re-
quirement prior to the national law,
and Nebraska. which has a require
ment as to a few articles. The situa-
ton is exactly what 1t has been in the
past.
The merits of the whole question
have been debated great deal re-
Gently, the manufacturers contending
that any provision requiring the
weighing of each package will in
crease the cost of food in packages,
that where the package food is SELL
ing for exactly what it is. and along
side of it the same commodity is Of
fered in bulk, giving the consumer q
free choice, there can be no reason to
complain On the other hand, the ar
gument is made that If statement Of
the weight was. made on the package
it would aid in securing lower cost
of living In North Dakota and Ne
braska this has not proved true, but
in a number of instances the contrary
has resulted.
There does not seem TO be two sides
to the question that this legislation
should not be entered upon by the
states until after congress has acted
and given the precise language of the
requirement. There are q number of
bills now pending before congress on
which there have been a great many
hearings. Which of these various bills,
if any, will be passed by congress, no
one can tell Until congress does act,
any action By the states would throw
the entire subject into hopeless con-
fusion. THAT the states would act diff
ferently is evident from past expert
ence and from an examination of the
present weight provisions of North
Dakota and Nebraska which proceed
on widely different theories. Mean
while the entire question is at present
being litigated under the Nebraska
law and will be presented to the Unit
ed States supreme court within a year
at most.
Absolute, uniformity on the subject
of pure-food laws, so that commerce
may flow freely without regard to
state lines, is condition necessary for
all. Any proposal seeking to everturn
the absolute uniformity now prevail
ing under the national law and the
laws of thirty mine states, including
Connecticut, is a step backward and
prejudicial to the public interest.

THE NOMENCLATURE BUSINESS

The moving picture business has
spread throughout the civilized world
and the cheap entertainment calls to-
sether millions every day. We do not
think of Russia as a lively show coun-
try, and it is rather surprising that
the American consul general at Mos
COW reports that there are eighty
moving picture shows in his city and
about the same number in St. Peters
burg. The country supports 1,200 such
places of entertainment. Last year
19S,000,000 admissions were recorded
and the managers took in more than
y21,000.000. Not only was amusement
provided, but the educational features
OF the moving pictures were utilized
for the purpose of instructing the peo-
pie how to fight the plague of Asiatic
cholera.
The moving pictures could be made
much more edifying in New England
81 attention was given to the charac-
ter OF them. Too large a per cent. Of
them are of the dime-noveI- plot char
acter; but they viii be improved as the
public demands changes.

noting and giving the people real irrigation, at
