American Rice.
(Hartford Times)

One of the lessons which the siren
uous task of getting something to
eat without spending more than they
earn has taught the American people
is that rice is vegetable rather than
a desert, and that it is staple Amer
ican product. The conditions of the
war have made this more than ever
true. We can now raise excellent rice
in our Southern areas, and we do
raise enough of it so that in ten
months of last year we sent 282, ,0OO,-
900 pounds to other countries. This
compares with 26,OO0,OO0 sent in 10
months of 1918. And what our grow
ers received for what they sent out
last year was $25, $4,000, as compar-
ed with SS33,0OO received for the
amount mentioned in 1918.
This is another Illuminating ex-
ample of the development of formerly
neglected opportunities in American
farming, particularly in the South.
The acreage of rice in 1904 was 662,-
900. In 1918 this had increased to
1,113,OOO, and now has considerably
more than doubled. The number Of
bushels raised in 1904 was 21, $50, 5000.
In 1918 it was 40,424,000, and last
year around 100000 bushels.

diet pellagra would disappear from
the earth, and that milk is the most
important single food in balancing
the diet, preventing and curing pella-
gra. The suspicion of pellagra may
with confidence be dismissed in one
who is known to be and to have been
a habitual milk drinker.
Since there is no other single arti-
Gle of diet that will so quickly re-
store health, and while We are de-
manding milk for the sick, why not
demand milk for the we'll people, too
and thus help to keep them well and
improve our standard of public health
and efficiency.

DR.. McCollum, noted authority on
nutritisn, says "that no family has
The right to purchase any meat until
each member has at least pint OF
milk daily" DR.. Sherman, another
noted authority, says "Allow as much
money for milk, vegetables and fruit
As for meat, fish and eggs"
For the proper growth and main
tainance of the body we need protein
earbohidrate, fat, mineral water, wat
er and certain other substances about
which little is known. All of these
nutrients are supplied in relatively
high amount in milk.In studying nu-
triton we find that the protein and
fat in milk are especially well adapt
ed to the needs of the body. The pro-
tein in milk is what DR.. McCollum
terms complete protein, that is, it
contains all of the II elements which
are essential to the proper nourish-
ment of all the cells of the human
body. Beside the energy and tissue
building food, milk is very high in
calcium, in fact, it is impossible to
get diet that is adequate in this i'm
portant element without the use of
milk.
Milk, eggs and the leafy portions
Of plants are designated as protective
foods. These are so constituted as
to make good, in great measure,
the deficiencies of whatever else we
are likely to eat There are many
people in our own country and in
ether parts of the world who are TAX
ing too little of the protective foods.
DR.. McCollum has found by numerous
experiments that there are substances
found in eggs, leaves of plants and
more abundant in milk which are alb
solutely essential for normal growth
and development, and that diet lack
ing in these essential elements is the
cause Of many diseases.
The nations of the world are be-
ginning to realize the Importance of
milk in the diet. DR.. ,Sutherland,'
writing for an English paper, says
that the IL per cent. increase in the
death rate from tuberculosis in Eng
land was largely due to the lack OF
milk products in the diet, and that
the flu epidemic in 1918 was due to
the same cause. Without sufficient
animal fat in the diet they were un-
able 10 resist disease.
DR.. Goldberger says that if all of
the people would eat a we'll balanced

Don't Take Chances if You Feel Bad
Enrich Your Blood With

There is a great deal of serious
sickness in the spring.
And it is easy to see why. Long
weeks pent up indoors, too little ex-
ercise and fresh air, winter sickness

ally lowered vitality. Blood weak
and sluggish. Then come fine spring
days-that are not as warm as they
seem; or sudden changes in the
weather, and you haven't taken
proper precautions.
Vigorous, red-blooded people don't
often get sick. If you're not feeling
your best, get Pepto- -Mangan Of
your druggist and take it to build
up your blood. This effective and
agreeable tonic has been tested for
over thirty years, and physicians,
everywhere, recommend it for run
down, pale, and anemic people.
The whole family should take
Pepto- -Mangan - it is good health
insurance. Besides, what a joy it is
to feel fit and fine-ready for any
thing! To have an abundance Of en-
ergy and enthusiasm!
Pepto- Mangan is for sale at your
druggists, and in both liquid and
tablet form. There is no difference
in medicinal value. Take which
ever you prefer. But to make sure
you get the genuine, ask for "Gude's

MORE CRITICISM
OF GREAT BRITAIN
Wilson Message to Admiral Sims Is
Read Into the Records in the
Senate This Morning.
(By Associated Press)

Washington confidential cable
gram from President Wilson to Rear
Admiral Sims in London, sent during
the war, was read to the senate naval
Investigating committee today by Sec
rotary Daniels. 1t expressed surprise
that the British admiralty had failed
to ''use Great Britain's naval superior
ity" effectively against the submarines
and called on Admiral Sims for COM
ments and suggestions based on "inde-
pendent thought" and without regard
to judgments of anyone on that side
of the water" The admiralty was
"helpless to the point of panic" in the
face of the submarine situation, the
message said. Every plan we suggest
they reject for some reason of prud-
ence," Mr.. Wilson added. 'In my view
this is not a time for prudence but
for boldness even at the cost of great
losses" In conclusion, President Will
son asked Admiral Sims to advise him
as he would give advice eff you were
running navy of your own" Admiral
Sims reply, said Secretary Daniels,
who presented the presidents message
in connection with his answer to Sims
charges against the navy departments
conduct of the war, was "a long tele-
gram of generalities of what the Brit
ish admiralty was doing"

remainder of the week. "You can say
that there will be no formal hearing
on the part of the commission in re-
gard to the gas bills" said Mr.. Huels.
II am convinced that we have found
the cause Of the trouble and that the
patrons will be fully satisfied with the
way matters are being adjusted. There
is nothing left for the commission to
look into. Manager Koenes now has the
matter well in hand and the work has
been organized in splendid manner
Manager Koenes declared that he
believed that he now had an organiza-
tion which would make it possible to
have the meters read regularly so that
the bills could be rendered promptly
and cover not much over the month
supposed to be covered by the bill.
ut is difficult to get the meters read
to the very day every month, de-
clared Manager Koenes, "but we are
making an effort to avoid the old
trouble by getting the bills out regu-
larly and covering a regular period"
Koenes admitted that it had been
difficult to get just the right kind Of
men to take charge of the work of
reading mettrs and that it was not
always possible to get the intelligence
necessary for this work"
No More Adjustments Expected.
The two men indicated that there
was not great number of additional
adjustments expected in connection
with the investigation. The four score
complaints which have been investi-
gated brought only very small per
centage of demands for rebates.

Opinion of City Attorney
Shows Liability of City
for Delay in Bldgs.
MANY NEW STUDENTS
Board Rejects Bids for Build
ings on Land Recently Pur-
chased and Will Hold Sale.

City Attorney John G. Slater APP
peared before the board Of education
on Tuesday evening and gave the board
legal advice in regard to the contracts
for the Mckinley school. In his opin-
ion, which was concise and covered all
angles of the controversy, he held that
there was liability against the city
on account Of the fact that the delay
in the construction Of the building had
been caused blythe failure of the city
to perform the work necessary for the
building to proceed.
Under the opinion of the city attor-
ney, it was held by members of the
board that the recent compromise for
the change in the contract price of the
building was the only fair arrangement
that the board could make. There are
still a few minor differences to adjust
between the board and the contractors
and a special committee composed Of
Commissioners Glerum, Chester and
Obey was named to take this matter up
with the contractors. A meeting is
being held this afternoon at which it
is expected that all remaining adjust
ments of the contract will be worked
out and this will make it possible for
the work to proceed without Interrupt
tion.
Commissioner Frank Drissel was
named as chairman of the special COM
mittee which will have charge of the
work on the Mckinley school.
Delay Sale of Old Houses.
The board declined to accept the
bids which had been received for the
houses located on the property near
the new Washington school and these
houses will be sold at public auction
at date to be set later. 1t is prob
able that the sale will take place two
weeks from Saturday.
At the same time the board will put
on the auction block the frame build
ing on the Gillet grounds now being
used as an open-air school. It is be
lieved that the buildings will bring a
much higher figure at public auction
than was offered in the bids sent to
the board.
Reports received indicated that the
coal which has been purchased by the
board is already coming into the city
and the assurance is given that the
city schools will have its complete sup
ply of coal for the coming winter be-
fore the opening of the cold weather
Mrs. Bradford Makes Report.
The report of Supt. Mary D. Brad
ford to the board showed that the
board would face congested conditions
in the schools in the opening of the
new term. The report showed that
there would be 5000 children to find
places for and that so additional teach
ers would be employed to take care OF
the children.
The report IF Mrs. Bradford showed
clearly to the board that it would be
necessary to make provision for very
large increase in the number Of pupils
for the coming year This advance in
formation was given with a view Of
having the board fully cognizant Of the
problems to be met with the opening
Of the new term.
Mrs Bertha Surelus and Mrs. Emma
Kingsley were reelected to have
charge of work in the open-air schools
at the Gillet and Balm, schools during

Real Reason for Trouble Over Gas Bills Is
Brought to Light in Closing Up
the Investigation.
BOOKS WERE THROWN IN THE SNOW
Disguised Meter Readers Brought Troubles Which Had
to Be Rectifed by Officials Of Wiscon-
sin Gas and Electric Co.

The Wisconsin Gas and Electric
company, or at any rate the present
management of the company, promise
to be pretty will indicated as a re-
suit of the investigation which has
been made by Agent w. F. Huels of
the railroad commission. The astound-
ing announcement is made that the real
sause Of the trouble over gas bills was
not over fast meters or errors in the
books Of the company, but the DELHI
crate burning of the meter records
Of the company. The fact filtered
through on Tuesday afternoon.
"One man who had been employed
to read meters said Manager Koenes,
got Disguised with his job and burned
up his books. Another one of the
men tore up the books and threw them
into the snow"
Agent Huels of the railroad commits
sion was with Manager Koenes when
this rather startling revelation was
made and he agreed that these two
rather unusual performances on the
part of meter readers were largely
responsible for the tumble in the MAX
ing out of gas bills which forced
many people to pay for two months
service at one and others to have
weird meter readings.
All Troubles Ironed Out Now.
II was declared by the manager
and Mr., Huels that all of the troubles
of the company had been pretty well
ironed out and that it was not ex-
pected that there would be further COM
plications One Of the men who had
been employed to read the meters just
naturally got tired of his job. 1t has
been the contention Of the company
from the first that the meter reading
was the chief reason for trouble and
the destruction of the records by the
two employees was the chief cause of
this trouble. Examinations made by
Manager Koenes and Mr.. Huels showed
that most of the kicks against the gas
bills had come from the territory
covered by these meter readers. When
the books were found to have been
destroyed and no records Of monthly
readings available it became necessary
to have a new reading of the meters
an1 Consequently the bills as rendered
covered period of more than a
month. In some cases the work was
not accomplished until nearly two
months had passed. This is shown
as the cause Of largely increased bills
in many cases.
Records Now in Ship Shape.
