RICE FLOUR IS NOW
USED in COLUMBUS

COLUMBUS, Ca, April 25.-Colum-
bus has received its first carload of
rice flour. The new food product
reached the city early in the week
and is now being distributed among
the retail grocers. A ten-pound sam
pie sack was sent to the Office of Coun-
ty Food Administrator Frank U. Gar
rard. Mr.. Garrard stated that he will
give the new flour a thorough test
at home.
Rice flour is said to be more whole
some than wheat -four and makes a
rluch whittier bread. No snow drift
was ever whittier than the new rice
product. and it's texture is like unto
pulverized moon beams. 1t is Just
one of the many products that neces !,
sitv, the mother of invention, has
given to the world since the outbreak
of the war.
Columbus has at least one family
taht is patriotic in the truest sense Of
the word. Mr.. Garrard received an
excess flour report from a family OF
four. The report showed that there
were seventy-five pounds of excess
-four at the home of this loyal house
