A campaign to control Oat smut Is
in progress within the state this

trolled, IL Is said at least two million
dollars annually can be saved to the
Michigan farmer. One Of the features
of the effort is a series OF demonstra-

Some Good Rice Recipes.

AS staple article Of diet. rice may
be boiled in sailed water and used like
potato or sweet potato as vege-
table at a meal at which Ash, meat,
eggs, beans or other foods rich in pro-
tein are served. Wholly or partially
cooked rice can be used with cheese,
minced meat or poultry, fish. eggs,
beans, gravy, etc., for variety Of
made dishes, the combinations consti-
tuting dishes in which most of the
needed food elements are present. 1t
also may be used as major or minor
Ingredient in stews and soups.
Instead Of serving rice plain as .
vegetable, 1t may be stewed with to-
matoes, cooked in double boiler with
tomato juice, soup stock or milk, or
1t may be seasoned with curry pow
der onions or other seasoning mate.
rails. BY using skim milk in this way
partially economical dish Is pro-
duced.
AS cereal for breakfast, rice may
be boiled in milk and sweetened, or
eaten with butter and salt. If II Is
desired, dried fruits such as dates or
raisns may be cooked with the rice.
Cold boiled rice, mixed with pancake
or muffin batters Of wheat, buckwheat
or cornmeal for instance, makes q
pleasing addition to such food prod
ucts, reduces the quantity of wheat
needed and furnishes method for
using the leftover cereal.

BROWN RICE BETTER THAN
THE POllSHED-ASk FOR IT

Rice as sold by our grocers Is
a pretty grain with a smooth
and shiny surface, attractive to
the eye, but lacks the palatable-
ness that makes foods popular.
This rice has been so highly
milled that 1t has been robbed
Of much of its food value and
Of most of its oily fiavoring mat
ter, leaving product known
to the trade as polished rice,
which to many persons is taste
less. If the American housewife
could be induced to demand
brown rice instead of taking the
polished product, there would be
q marked increased consump-
ton of this cereal in a very
short time, due in part IL not
entirely to the pleasing flavor
of the kernel.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1918-04-12

rome layer, and germ, which contains
much protein and other important food
constituents, are removed, reducing
greatly the nutritive value of the
grain. The real difference between
these two mill products is largely in
the coating Of the polished rice with
glucose and tale, and the absence Of
coating material on the unpublished.
The superiority Of the brown rice
over either of these lies in the fact
that the entire seed as nature pro-
duced it is used, except the inclosing
husks or hulls, which have been re-
moved.

RICE FAVORED AS
NUTRITIOUS FOOD
II Consumption Could Be In
creased in United States More
Wheat Could Be Saved.
GREAT VALUE NOT REALIZED
Most important Article Of Diet In
China and Japan-inereased Pro-
duction Would Release Grain
for Our Allies.

Here in the United States II is diff
edible product, excepting meat, upon
which more people In the world are de-
pendent for food, than rice. We might
advantageously consume much greater
quantities of this nutritious food and
grow the increase in our own rice
fields according to the 1918 crop-pro-
ductiOn program recently announced
by the United States department of
agriculture. An increased production
and consumption not only would ex-
pand profitable industry, the federal
specialists declare, but the eating Of
more rice I'm the place of wheat would
release greater quantity of the bread
grain for shipment to the allies.
Per Capita Consumption.
The average per capita consumption
of rice for food in this country is
scarcely six pounds year, and most
of this is consumed I'm the Southern
states. The high esteem in which rice
is held i'm other countries Is indicated
by their per capita consumption. Nor
way and Sweden consume over 8
pounds per capita; Russia over IL
pounds; England, q pounds; France,
"a pounds Italy, over 101 pounds, and
Germany more than 90 pounds. But
even these European countries do not
begin to eat as much rice as Japan
and China. There rice is the most i'm
portant article of diet. Each man,
woman and child in Japan, on the av-
erage, consumes LAT pounds of rice
each year, and those in China, 15S
pounds. The placing of such depend
ence upon rice as staple food GER
tainly proves beyond doubt that 1t Is
highly nutritious; analysis Of rice sup
ports this proof. Pound for pound rice
Is about as nutritious as wheat. Every
100 pounds of cleaned rice contains
S7.7 pounds of nutriment, of which 3
pounds are protein, 0.3 pounds fat, 20
pounds carbohydrates, and o. pound
ash The analysis of wheat flour shows
that 1t contains ST. pounds Of nutri-
ment In each 100 pounds, of which 10.S
pounds are protein, IL pounds fat, 74.S
pounds carbohydrates, and O.4 pound
ash. Thus the total nutriment In rice
Is trine greater than in wheat.
Wheat has the advantage in protein
and rice In carbohydrates.
Foodstuff for Orient.
Although rice is the great foodstuff
of the Orient, It is not used there In
making raised bread. In this coun-
try dietitans have made excellent
bread by substituting as high as 20
per cent Of rice for wheat flour, and
have obtained white yeast bread of
excellent flavor.
Unpublished rice Is offered and ac-
copied as product superior TO the
polished rice, but In reality Its food
value is only better by so small a de-
gree that 1t is practically negligible.

the unpublished rice, the cuticle, aleu-

CLERKS VICTORY
IN BORLAND BILL
FIGHT |SCERTA|N

The long controversy over the Bor-
land amendment to the agricultural bill
to extend the working hours OF Govern
ment clerks and employees so as to re-
quire a minimum OF eight full hours OF
labor has been practically ended by the
conferees who are considering the agri-
cultural appropriation measure. They
have stricken the Borland plan from the
bill, and there is every reason to be-
lieve both houses will agree to 1t.
In the legislative bill. now before the
Senate Appropriations Committee, the
House has also inserted the Borland pro-
vision But it will be eliminated in the
committee. and the Senate will in all
probability sanction that decision. Fol
lowing that. the Borland amendment
will doubtless be dropped by the con-
ferees on the legislative bill.
The American Federation OF Labor
fought the Borland amendment persis-
tently, taking the position that to
lengthen the working hours Of the Gov
eminent employees was antagonistfc TO
the efforts OF organized labor to cut
down working hours.
The failure Of the Borland plan TO in
crease the working hours will not inter-
fere with the proposed increase Of pay
of Government workers. The House has
voted an increase OF $40 per year, and
the Senate will grant at least that
much.
The Senate subcommittee in charge OF
the legislative bill has about completed
its consideration OF the bill The meas
ure will soon be put into the hands Of
the appropriations committee itself. The
subcommittee concluded its hearings on
the bill yesterday.

WATERWAYS
REGIMENT IS BEING
FORMEDAT LAUREL

CAMP MEADE, Nd. April An in
land waterways regiment for service
in France is being organized at
Laurel. Nd. with Col. James F. Bell
in command. There\ha been found
need for a regiment to maintain and
operate the boats and barges on the
rivers and canals OF France There is
a highly developed system OF inland
waterways there. but there is need
for even greater development to meet
many of the tremendous transporta-
tion problems OF modern warfare.
The new unit Is to be known as
the Fifty-seventh engineers. Barge
men. teamsters. saddIers, sailmakers,
riggers blacksmiths, steersmen,
hosting engineers. marine gasolene
engineers, and others especially quail
fed will get a course in military dis-
cipline and some idea of special work
ahead Of them. This camp Is one
that has been used by the Twenty
third Engineers, a bodybuilding or
ganization, and by other special units.
One of the most interesting units
recently assembled at Camp Meade
is the Headquarters Army Artillery
and the artillery troop. Col. James
F. Howe is in command Of the stan
of forty commissioned officers, in
GLIDING lieutenant colonies. majors,
and others, most OF them experts in
heavy artillery. The organization viii
have charge OF heavy artillery above
six inches, and will be somewhat dis
tinct from the division organizations.
The heavy artillery problems are
often problems in engineering, ana
one Of the officers is Lieut.. Col George
II. Gotehals, engineering officer OF the
staff. and a son of the engineer Of the
Panama canal, who was recently give
the job OF speeding up the quarter
master corps OF the army. This stan
has its troop OF 200 men, with Major
F. II. Lincoln as the commander. There
