With rhubarb sauce en- eggs en-

When a man'S ez rich ez me,

Shines on him tenderly9

Some Uses Of Rice.

1000 winch can De served IN many
palatable ways all the year. but
which seems particularly appetiz-
ing in summer.
Boiled rice prepared in southern
fashion. so that all of the grains are
kept separate, is sufficiently attrac-
tive in appearance to justify its
slight wastefulness, except, Of course
where strictest economy is neces
sary. Slowly add a cupful of
Thoroughly washed rice to a quart of
rapidly boiling water, which con-
tains 2 level tessp1onfuls of salt
If carefully done, the boiling (Which
should continue all of the time the
rice is cooking will not be stopped
Stirring is not permitted, as this
will break the rice grains. About
20 minutes is sufficient to cook the
rice. which can be tried from time
to time by taking one or two grains
between the fingers. Pour off all
the water from the cooked rice,
cover with a cloth, and place in a
warm part of the stove, SD that the
grains will swell. To remove the
starchy material from the outside
Of the grains, cooks sometimes
turn the cooked rice into a strainer
and pour quart of hot water over
it before covering with a cloth and
allowing to steam and swell. A
cupful OF raw rice cooked in this
way will give over 4 cupfuls of
very white and light, boiled rice.
The water drained off from the rice
can be used in soup making to save
the starch and mineral matter
which it contains.
If one wishes to use a fireless
cooker add cupful Of well-washed
rice to 3 cupfuls of boiling water
in which 2 level teaspoonfuls Of salt
are dissolved. Cook for 5 minutes
and then put in a fireIess cooker
In 2 hours the rice should be done.
II any water remains unabsorbed it
can be drained of. Rice varies
somewhat in the amount OF water
it absUrbs, and the housekeeper &C
cordinely should vary the amount
of water used.
Rice cooked as described above
is excellent when served as veee-
table with meats, as in the well
known chicken and rice" Such
uses of rice are particularly vel
come in the period when old pota
toes" are not very palstable and
new potato have not yet ap-
peared in the locality or are high
in price in market
Another dish which has almost
as good an appearance may be
prepared by cooking rice in a
double boiler, without stirring and
using about three cupfuls Of water
and level teaspoonful of salt to
each cupful Of rice. II more saw.
DRY dish is desired. skim milk,
whole milk, meat broth. strained
tomato juice. or vegetable broth
may be used in place of water
Rice may also be combined with
protein-rich foods. such as milk
cheese. and eggs for use in place of
meat, or with small amounts oil
vegetables to make the latter &c
further" OF course. such a dish
does not contain as much tissue
building protein as if it were made
entirely of meat, but when thu

Those three girls who worked in

PaOnia Editor Would Like to
Make Some Election Laws

1t is not the policy of Independent
editor to engage in minor reflections
upon matters Matched up by the neigh
borhood papers, but the last issue of
the Paonian was so false in their state
ment regarding the publishing of pri-
mary list of nominations, that We de-
sire to enlighten our readers. Here is
what they say:
THE list of primary nominations as
published in the two Delta papers last
week was not technically correct.
The law provides that nominations
shall be listed alphabetically. This is a
sensible provision and is designated
to prevent the old trick of placing the
names of favorites first
IF the ballots offered at the pri-
mary election follow the list of nom
nations, voters, of course, have no
option but to use them; but any de-
feated candidate would be entirely
justified in taking such action as
would force a correction.
This is but one example of the
trouble that can arise from placing
county business in incompetent
hands. 1t is a part of the printers
business to know incorrect form
when he sees it and it is his duty to
accept no order that is not in com
pliance with the law
Here is the section of the primary
law that governs in this case. Read it
carefully:
