RIos q Ia South Carolina.

No food, regardless Of its merits. will
appeal to the consumer unless 1t can
be made into an attractive dish. In
this country rice usually comes to the
table as an uninvfting, glutinous mass.
except In certain sections Of the South
ern states, whore It 10 served with each
grain distinct and separate, making a
very tempting and appetizing dish. 4
platter heaped with loose. flaky ker-
nels Of rice is not only pleasing to the
eye, but satisfying to the APPETITE. It
Is very probable that the attractive ap-
pearance of this dish on the South
Carolina table has had much to do
with the popularity and usefulness Of
rice in that state.
In seeking Information on the art Of
cooking rice. no mistake 10 made in re-
ferring to South Carolina, where the
true value Of this cereal has been ap-
preciated for over two centuries. 4
Carolina housewife would advise the
using Of one pint Of rice, after thor
ough washing. which she considers i'm

the water; cover the vessel and put
over a very slow flre, and allow 1t to

water left ON It when put to steam. and
the length Of time allowed In the

or course, other methods are used in
boiling rice or at least notifications Of
the recipe given. but It must be r.
membered that the results should not
be a glutinous mass and that success
depends upon the proper amount of
water used and the length Of time in
steaming.

All green's must be picked

about a half bushel Of spinach
to make 4 little more than

ful for the season of scarcity which
comes IN the fall and winter. Putting

terprise. Thousands Of women pre-
serve eggs by these methods in the
spring and early summer and keep
them for winter use. Fresh eggs
properly preserved will keep for eight
to twelve months in excellent sondi-
hon and may be used with good re-
suits.
II satisfactory results are to be OBJ
tanned tho eggs should be fresh and
clean, frm-shelled and, II possible, in
fertile. Eggs laid during April, May
and early June have been found to
keep better than those laid later In the
season. Eggs that float when placed
In the solution are not fresh and
therefore, cannot be preserved. When
an egg Is only slightly soiled a cloth
dampened with vinegar can be used
to remove such stains. Under no cir
cumstances should badly soilsd eggs
be used for preserving. II put into the
jar while dirty they will spoil. and
washing removes 4 protective coating

Cost Of Preserving.
BY the water-glass or sodium sill
cate method eggs may be preserved at
a cost Of about two cents q dozen II
. quart. 1t Is not desirable to use the
Water-glass solution a second time.
Here is the water-glass method as
described by specialists Of the United
State department of agriculture:
Use l quart Of sodium silicate to 8
quarts Of water that has been boiled
and cooled Place the mixture in a
5-gallon crock or jar. This will be
sufficient to preserve IS dozen eggs
and will serve as guide for the guam
dty needed to preserve larger num-
bers Of eggs.
Select five-gallon crock and clean
t thoroughly, after which 1t should be
scalded and allowed to dry. Heat
quantity Of water to the boiling point
and allow 1t to cool. When cool, meas
ure out . quarts Of water. place 1t
In the crock and add l quart of So
dium silicate. stirring the mixture
thoroughly. The eggs should be placed
IN the solution. II sufficient eggs are
not obtainable when the solution is
first made, additional eggs may be
added from time to time. Be very
careful to allow at least two inches Of
the solution to cover the eggs at all
lines. Place the crock containing the
preserved eggs In a cool, dry place,
we'll covered to prevent evaporation.
Waxed paper covered over and tied
around the top Of the crock will an

Limewater May Be Used.
When water-glass cannot be OBJ
tanned, limewater may be used In Its
stead Dissolve 2 or pounds of
unslaked lime in gallons Of water
that has previously been boiled and
allowed to cool, and allow the mix
ture to stand until the lime settles
and the liquid is clear. Place clean,

checking in Wheeling has disclosed
the fact that a number Of grocerS are
charging for flour prices higher thaA

rulings or by the published list OF the
price Interpretation committee Of the
local food administration. II is said
that the price OF flour in Wheeling
today varies from about $l.42 to $i.G5

we expect the merchants to fol,

said 4 representative OF the food ad

expect the people-the consumer5-t0
be guided b. our price publication.
But even our price publication cannot
cnange the government rule That rute
is that no merchant is allowed to mako
profit OF more than $1.2O per barrel
the scale OF profit is set from so. cents
TO $l.20 per barrel No matter what
our published price may be, il a mer.

Wheeling, as it is the first unpleasant

whom 1t does apply and We fear that
drastic measures will have to be taken
in the near future.
