To Choose Rice

Unpublished rice contains more
nourishment and is cheaper than
polished rice. Polishing pro-
duces a pearly gloss on the
grains, but robs them of nearly
all the fat and mineral matter
which they contain. thus lowering
the food value OF the rice. Caro-
lima rice has q round grain and
is the best variety to use for
buildings. Patna rice has a slen-
der pointed grain, and should al
ways be used for curries. It

MATTER

Mayor leslie A. Curry has re-
ceived a reply from the executive
department, Tallahassee, in answer
to his telegram protesting against
the change in the original plan of
the Tamiami Trail to Governor
Martin.
The following letter from the
secretary to the governor is as fol-
lows:
''This is to advise that your
telegram of this date to governor,
relative to change in route of the
Tamiami Trail, was received at the
Office during his absence from the

his attention at the earliest OPP
portunity after his RETURN

"The people Of this city protest

GENERAL STRIKE
CONTINUES IN
GREAT BRITAIN
HooDLUMs IN EAST LONDON
DOCK DISTRICT PREclPI-
TATE TROUBLE STOPPING
TRAFFIC

LONDON, May 5.-England's
monster general strike continued
today without indications of
weakening by either side to the
controversy. The coal mining and
various other industries remained
inactive by reason of the lockout
by the mine owners and the dec
larat:on of the general strike by
the trades union congress.
Two untoward incidents have
occurred to disturb the otherwise
orderly situation. Hoodlums in
the East London dock district,
where there is large element of
foreigners, are reported to be i'm
bued with the Russian brand of
communism, started trouble by
stopping street traffic. This cul-
minated in riot:ng, but the police
used their clubs vigorously and
sent a score of persons to hos
pitfalls.
In Glasgow, another hotbed of
radicalism, strikers attacked motor
buses and smashed the windows
IN them, but did no harm to the
passengers.
Both the trade unionists and the
government claim that things are
going satisfactory in their respec-
tive viewpoints.
That the call to strike was
widely responded TO by the workers
is obvious. but some industries, at
least in some sections, are work
ing, whether by permission of the
trades union congress or of their
own viii is not clear. Similarly,
it is uncertain the amount and
quality of the volunteer help be-
ing enlisted to keep the utilities
services going.
1t is rumored that many of the
transport workers are lukewarm
TO the strike and that these gradu-
ally may filter back to work.
There has as yet been no short
age of food felt and the govern
ment's arrangement for the distri-
button of necessaries seems to be
running smoothly. Great Britain,
however. is so largely dependent
on imported foods, that if the
strike continues and there is a
Stoppage of shipping, there is
bound to be a shortage which may
lead to close rafioning.
Today was the first day that
Londoners were without their fa-
miliar newspapers. They had
them Monday, although in some
what crippled form. but today they

Forty-Five Thousand Dollar Hotel In
Course OF Construction At Matecumbe
BLUE LOBSTER
THIS ONE


BOSTON, Mass, May 5.-In a
consignment of Holsters received
by lobster dealers, was found a
perfectly blue specimen, which is
now on display in the window of
the store.
According to the dealer blue
Holsters are not entirely unknown (;
perhaps two or three being seen
in season by those handling the
delicacy in large quantities, but
this particular blue lobster is of a
beautiful, clear blue, which draws
the admiration of all who see him.
The claws shade away from blue
to pinkish color at the tips. I'm
derneath the claws are pure white.
The blue color is attributed by
experts to the effect of the salt
water upon certain chemicals
which the lobster absorbs in his
search for food. As far as is
known the blue variety of lobster
is just as edible as the ordinary
variety.
Last year the same concern
found in one of its lobster cars a
perfectly white lobster, which had
the appearance of being carved
from a slid block of marble. The
lobster was kept as window dis
play, and with careful treatment
lived for months.

Arriving in port last night from
Havana, was the yacht boat, Sill
yer Spray, owned by Captain M.
C. Bly,, the vessel being a 30-foot
cat rugged craft, which is sea-
worthy in every respect.
On board the vessel is an ex-
pedition party, which has unoffi-
cial connection with the Philadel-
phia Commercial Museum, which
furnishes fire arms and navigable
instruments and other necessities
for the guidance of mariners on
an indefinite loan basis in return

of the vessel Silver Spray are to

Florida and other waters in that
section.

thence to Venezuela and the
Dutch West Indies after which the
trip back will be made via Panama

On leaving San Francisco the
party will start on a most lengthy
voyage which will take them prac-

ing to the plans now being made
by the members of the expedition,
all of whom are very optimistic
over the proposed trip that will

TRANSFORMATION
in ELIzABETHS
RESIDENCE

The transportation that is
taking place in the Tom Higgs
residence at 324 Elizabeth
street, shows how much the
expenditure of a little money
will improve the appearance
of old home place.
When the present work of
remodeling is completed this
building will present as neat
an appearance as any other
along this popular thorough
fare, and the home will be
much more convenient, cosy
and comfortable in every way.
The front veranda is being
made new with neat columns
supporting the attractive
roof. An aeroplane roof is
being placed over the front
portion of the residence. This
viii afford more room and
ample ventilation, as we'll as
adding greatly to the beauty
of the home in a general way.
New steps and a nice walk
way are also being made.
Tom Higgs is spending be-
tween $1,000 and 81, 500 in
improving this home place.
and as the work progresses he
sees more and more that IL
will be one of the best in
vestments he ever made.
The construction work is
under the supervision Of S.

the job completed at an early
date.
