Miss Adams has been accommodating

Rice a la South Carolina.

No food, regardless of its merits, will
appeal to the consumer unless it car
be made into an attractive dish. In
this country rice usually to the
table as an uninviting, glutinous mass,
except in certain sections of the South
ern states, where it is served with each
grain distinct and separate, making a
very tempting and appetizing dish. A
platter heaped with loose, flaky kerr
nels of rice is not only pleasing to the
eye, but satisfying to the APPETITE. 1t
is very probable chat the attractive APP
pearance of this dish or 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 Is made in re-
ferring to South Carolina, where the
true value of this cereal has been ap-
preciated for over two centuries. A
Carolina housewife would advise the
using of one pint of rice, after thor
ough washing. which she considers i'm
portant, ITO a quart and a pint of wa
ter and a teaspNonful of common
salt. "This is to be boiled over a quick
fire for ten minutes, stirring OCCASION
ally. Then pour off all or nearly all
the water; cover the vessel and put
over q very slow fire, and allow it to
steam for 10 minutes at least, stirring
occasionally. The rice will be soft or
grainy, according to the quantity of
water left on it when put to steam, and
the length of time allowed in the
steaming. The larger the quantity of
water and the shorter the steaming,
the softer will be the rice"
OF course, other methods are used In
boiling rice or at least notifications Of
the recipe given. but it must be re-
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.

LOSS DUE. TO CARELESSNESS
CONGREGATIONS Might BE Greatly Re
duced by Preventive Measures
That Are Adopted In Time.

The report of the fire inspection de-
partment of Massachusetts will prob
ably be of interest. The total number
of fires in dwellings reported was B.
905. The careless use of matches
heads the list of causes by children
playing with matches came a close
second with 392. There were 324 fires
started from unknown causes, and 323
from ignition from lamps or stoves.
ratus caused 231 fires, and careless
smoking started 315.
Defective chimneys were the
of 297 blaZes, and sparks from the
same source started pa. Spontaneous
combustion was given as the reason
for 155 alarms, and the placing of hot
ashes in wooden r~eceptacles caused
1913. Among the other causes mention
ed by the department in Its report
were: defective heating apparatus 40,
electrical causes So, explosion Of lamp,
lantern or stove 90, gas jet igniting
other material so, and incendiary II.
Scores of other causes of fire are emu
metated, among which SO are credited
to rats and matches.
A little care on the part of the owner
or tenant would do a great deal to-
ward eliminating a number of these
causes of CONGREGATIONS and prevent a
large proportion of the fire losses that
are suffered annually. Look over the
various reasons given for the fires
and adapt them to your own home.
This is a case where an ounce of pre-
vention is worth many pounds of the
proverbial cure.

Well Called "saIt City"

Syracuse, N. Y, is called the Salt
city, because Of its large deposits.
Much salt is obtained from watts,
called "solar vats," since the salt so
luton is spread out In them for the
suns rays which thoroughly evapo-
rate the water. Part of the Syracuse
deposits are under Onondaga lake In
the form of a great basin of salt
water, separated from the fresh water
above an impervious layer of clay.
By boring through this the saline
water is pumped up in great Quanti-
ties. Another method of evaporation
employed is by boiling. If boiled
down rapidly a fine table salt Is made /;
II more slowly, coarse salt. as large
crystals have time to form.

Protect Food in Lunches.

The precautions which must be
taken to keep lunches clean and safe
differ with circumstances. In dusty
seasons they should be wrapped par
ticularly well. In hot weather the use
of soft, moist foods in which molds
and bacteria are most likely to grow
rapidly should be avoided. Although
chopped meat molstened with a dress
ing Of some kind makes a good sand
witch filling, such foods are less deslr-
able in hot weather than slices of meat,
peanut butter, or other foods less liza
BILE to spoil.

It Is springtime! Don't neglect to
give your family some good old-fash-
Toned greens. If you live in a large
city, you may have to depend upon the
greens which some country woman
brings to market or upon spinach or
kale, which can usually be bought even
IN winter. If you live in the country,
perhaps your instinct has already told
you that the tender green leaves of
the dandelion, lamb's-Quarter, wild
mustard, or whatever variety of green's
your locality affords are waiting for
someone to gather them for food.
People from primitive times r. this
have manifested a craving for green
food as winter passes and s%pringtime
approaches. Probably this craving
arises from a real need of our bodies
for the materials which such foods
furnish.

Proper Planting Of Shade Trees.

The beauty of a shade tree depends
upon its normal and symmetrical
growth. In order to insure this, be-
fore planting cut off the ends of all
broken or mutilated roots; remove all
side branches save upon evergreens,
so that a straight whiplike stalk alone
remains. Dig holes at least two feet
In diameter and n foot deep In good
soil, and make them four feet across
In poo soil. The sides of holes should
be perpendicular and the bottom fiat.
Break up soil in the bottom of the hole
to the depth of the length of a spade
blade. Place two oil three inches of
fine top soil, free from sods or other
decomposing organic matter, in the
bottom of the hole. On top of this
place the roots Of the tree, spread
them as evenly as possible over the
bottom of the hole, and cover with
two or three inches Of fine top soil
as before. Tramp firmly with the feet
and fill the hole with good earth, leav-
Ing the surface loose and a little higher
than the surface of the surrounding
sell. When the work of planting is
completed, the tree should stand about
two inches deeper than 1t stood in the
nursery.
