The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1912-03-29

Mr.. L. W. Houk of Beaumont, who
had charge OF the rice display and rice
kitchen of the Southern Rice Growers
association at the Kansas City land
show in February and March, says in
his report to the association:
"Our exhibit attracted more atten-
ton than any other at the show, and
had we taken a little more trouble in
getting q big lot OF sheat rice, we
could have improved the exhibit very
much.
"Our kitchen, in my opinion, was the
big hit OF the show. We served about
ssventy-fve thousand people with rice
during the Two weeks and we served
our rice in true southern style. Our
schedule was as follows. Rice with
:hicken gravy in the afternoons; rice
with beef gravy at night. rice with
ham gravy the next night. We served
rice only as vegetable-rice and
gravy.
Il believe that the benefits that the
rice industry will derive from this
show in increasing consumption are
worth many times the cost. | talked
personally with thousands OF people
about rice, and always on these gen.
eral lines. Cut down the hipn cost OF
living; eat less meat and more rice:
rice is the most nutritious the most
easily digested and the best
balanced ration of all foods; not a
dessert, but vegetable; cut ont the
milk and sugar and the buildings and
use gravy. Il think it wall pay to
maintain these rice kitchens as the
national pure food shows, that are
held throughout the country

TOWNS WANT BETTER SEWERS
Health Department Reports Lively
Interest in Improved Sanitation
Throughout Virginia.

Richmond, March 4.-(Special.) A
number of Virginia towns want bet
ter sewers and improved water sup
plies and are agitating bond issues
for improved sanitary conditions. Re-
ports on the subject received by the
Health Department indicate the sue
cess of most of these movements and
prcsage great improvement in the
health of the interested towns.
Rocky Mount reports that the bond
issue last year is now available and
that an engineer has been employed
to draw plans for a water and sewage
system. Culpeper is planning to in
stall a mechanical filtration plant
which will relieve present insanitary
conditions in the town; Chatham is re
questing authority from the Generaf
Assembly to issue bonds for the same
purpose; Dayton will vote on a bond
issue very shortly. In Manassas and
Chase City, movements to the same
end are we'll under way, and pros
poets are that both will vote bond is
sues sufficient to install sewers and
water.
The Bureau of Sanitary Engineer
ing of the Health Department is CO.

sending out large number Of the
bulletin recently prepared on Sewage
Disposal Plants. The bulletin has
been sent to list Of architects and
will be sent to other persons upon re-
quest.

For the second time in its long and
honorable history, the Senate Of Vir-
GINA was called upon Saturday to
pass upon the wisdom and constitu-
tionality of submitting to popular
referendum the question, Of State
wide prohibition, and for the second
time speaking through it's majority,
it answered "No." Like the negative
that fell to the lot Of the Strobe bill
in 1910, the one Saturday was in no
uncertain terms, Of the Nhirty-
eight Senator's voting, twenty \three
went on record as opposing the Jordan
bill and the negative innovation that
followed in it's wake, while fifteen
registered their votes in favor of it's
enactment into the law.
Long in Centre of Stage.
There were not wanting elements
and issues which will cause the par
liamentary struggle just brought to
so decisive a close, forever to loom
large in the annals Of Virginia legis-
lation. Forced to the front by
large following convinced Of its vital
relation to great moral issues, the
prohibition question assumed the CEN
ire of the stage within two weeks aft
er the General Assembly took its
oath in office, and continued to tower
head and shoulders above every other
issue until laid low by the vote at
2:05 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Arrayed upon opposite sides of the
question appeared the ablest students
Of law in the Senate. Lawyers of equ-
ally high standing read by the realm
from authorities in support of their
contention that the bill was constitu-
ional and from the same authorities
to the effect that referendum such
as the measure proposed violated eve
~ principle of representative govern
ment. Over the whole controversy
lowered the nimbus of sentiment and
