USE MORE RICE

Rice long has been neglected as an
article of diet, declare food specialists OF
the department OF agriculture, and now
with food conservation problems con-
fronting the country, it may well be
given more important place on the
menu.
There is no shortage of rice The 1916
world crop is greater than for many
years, late reports placing the United
States crop at 40,702,O00 bushels, COM
pared with 2S,947,OOO bushels in 1916 and
25,265, 900 bushels for the given year av-
erage between 1911 and 1915.
Rice is nutritious. palatable and easily
digested, say the government food ex-
perts, and it may be cooked expeditiously
without either troublesome preparation
or waste AS staple article of diet,
rice may be boiled in salted water and
served as a vegetable, when such protein
bearing foods as meat, eggs, or beans
are on the menu. Wholly or partly
cooked rice may be served with cheese,
minced meat, poultry, fish, eggs, or oeans
III a wide variety of combinations con-
tanning the essential food elements. 1t
may be further used as a major or
minor ingredient of stews or soups.
Instead of serving rice plain as veg
etable, it may be stewed with tomatoes,
cooked in double boiler with tomato
juice, soup stock, or milk, or 1T may be
seasoned with curry powder, onions, or
other seasoning materials. By using skim
milk in this way particularly econom-
ical dish is produced.
AS a cereal for breakfast, rice may be
boiled in milk and sweetened, or eaten
with butter and salt. If desired, dried
fruits such as dates or raiSIns may be
cooked with it. Cold boiled rice, mixed
with pancake or muffin batters of wheat,
buckwheat or corn meal, makes pleas
ing addition to such food products re-
duces the quantities of other ingredients
needed and furnishes use for the left
over cereal Cold boiled rice also may
he used with or without little meat,
chicken, or seasoning vegetable for GRO
quotes, and with milk, eggs, sugar OF

of puddings and other desserts described

OUR SUNNY SOUTHLAND

Where has Uncle Sam longer open sea-
son for growing chickens, turkeys, ducks,
geese, pheasants, or for pasturing cattle,
sheep horses, hogs, deer? Appalachian
America lies largely in southern terri
tory. In those mountains the south has
rivers of oil and more than 1o00o, GOO, ooO
tons of iron waiting to be mined. 1t is
already mining nearly one-half of the
coal of the United States, and has about
one half of all the pig iron made. 1t has
rivers of oil now pouring from four or
five of it's states and being transported
in tank steamers to the ports of the
world in exchange for the worlds gold
dustries? We have spoken of the cotton
mills. At one point, Highpoint, N. c.,
there are 10 furniture factories and this
cars for such cities as Washington and
New York. The south today is making
quite $4,000, 900 worth of goods every
year, or an average of about $500 per an
NUM- for every family, black and white.
south Of Mason and Dixon's line. Kings
port, Tenn, has sprung up in tive past
six months as a town of 5000 people en-
gagged in the very new and important in
dustry of making dyes.
The south has vast phosphate mines
awaiting development and some of the
great sulphur deposits of the world-one
at F'reeport, Tex, so near the gulf that
the sulphur can be taken almost directly
from the mines to the vessels.
Such is the south--our south. Let US dc
all we can for her prosperity and well
being.-Home and Farm.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1917-08-09

The greatness and possibilities of the
south are not well enough known even
to it's own people who are contributing
toward that greatness and creating these
possibilities.
In the 16 southern states is territory
greater than one-fourth of all Uncle
Sans other possessions, including Alas
ka. Hawaii the Philippines, our West
Indies and our newly acquired Danish
Islands. In fact, if you will leave out
Russia the area of the south is larger
than that of all the warning European
countries. The largest state in the union
is a southern state and it was won for
the United States by southern heroes.
So much for space covered. Now what
are southern people doing in their Won
derful country?
In 1916 its corn, wheat and oat crop
was valued at more than 81, 200, oOo, 900. and
it's rice crop at more than $4o,Oo0,OO0. IN
1915 the south harvested over one-tnlro
of the corn crop of the United States
though it has small reputation as grain
country One farmers boy in the south
holds the record for producing the most
corn ever raised on any one acre. his
product was 259 bushels. It's spectacular
cotton crop is still fresh in the memory.
One can hardly get. out of view OF the
souths immense cotton mills, most or
them running day and night shifts.
So much, in birdseye view. for farm
ing. The south has long been the winter
garden of the land, trucking vast sup
plies each year along the coastal plain
from Chesapeake bay to the southern
most end Of Florida, and along the gulf
to the Mexican border. 1t earns in ex-
cess Of $500, 100000 year in crops of veg
etables and fruits.
What about its future possibilities?

HORSE FLESH

Except for the regard most people have
for the horse, there is really no reason
why his flesh should not be utilized, by
those who eat meat, for human food,
any more than the flesh of other animals
Indeed the provisions of the sanitary
code of New York city now legalize its
sale for that purpose. 1t must never be
forgotten, however, that the value of a
healthy horse is So great that, unless he
is killed because of some accident which
has rendered him useless. he would prac-
tically never be destroyed for food. The
vast majority of the horses whose flesh
Is, or would be put sale, would be
old and worn out and diseased animals.
In New York a man dealing in horsefiesh
was discovered leading a glandered horse
to a slaughtering establishment. We
doubt IL many Americans will ever be-
come eaters of horsefesh, first, because
the idea is so foreign a one to them, and,
second, because they know that few such
animals in good health would ever be
sacrificed for food. On the other hand,
multitudes are learning that the less meat
they eat the better they feel. and for
conscientious reasons an increasing num-
Der are becoming vegetarians.

Canned Sweet Peppers

Take out seeds and place in glass Jars;
pour over them the following mixture:
One gallon good cold vinegar, one cup
salt and one cup whole mustard; put on
rubbers and seal. The peppers keep crisp

Powerful Factor Soon

That we can almost Immediately evolve
forces that will potentially affect the re-
suit of the present war is manifest.
Through our finances, our factories, our
shipping. our light seacraft, airplanes
and navy we can soon become powerful
factor.
THE only way to impose the burden of
national defense is by universal train
ing and by universal services. 1t is not
democratic to leave the sacrifice to be
borne alone by volunteers. We should
here and now let Congress know where
we stand on this question. If we go in.
it must be with all our might. We
should have no war or should wage war
to the limit of our power.

merely present the facts to Congress and

that If the days demonstration had no

again confronts a crisis in international
affairs unprepared.
Regarding American foreign policy, he
said:
Il am sufficient of a reactionary still
to believe in that principle enunciated by
Washington. in the state house within
whose shadows are now assembled
that we should entertain friendly rela-
tions with all nations and contract en-

citizens against unjust aggression.
