EAT MORE RICE TO CONSERVE WHEAT THIS HIGHLY NUTRITIOUS FOOD SHOULD HAVE MORE IMPORTANT PLACE IN NATION'S DIET HAS NOT YET BEEN GIVEN ITS PROPER PLACE ON THE AMERICAN TABLE Rice should have a more important place in the diet, says the United States department of agriculture in one of a series of statements reviewing the agricultural situation for 1918. Increased production and consumption of rice not only would expand a profitable industry, but the eating of more rice in the place of wheat would release a greater quantity of the bread grain for shipment to the allies. The average per capita consumption of six pounds per year in the United States is smaller than that of many European countries where rice is not even produced. Norway and Sweden consume over nine pounds per capita, Russia over 11 pounds, England 27 pounds, France 34 pounds, Italy over 101 pounds, and Germany more than 93 pounds. But even these European countries do not begin to eat rice as much as Japan and China. In these eastern countries rice is the most important article of diet. Every man, woman and child in Japan, of water used and the length of time in steaming. THIRD LIBERTY LOAN FAR OVER THE TOP Seventeen Million Subscribers Purchased More Than Four Billions In Bonds The total of the Third Liberty Loan is $4,170,019,650, an oversubscription of 39 per cent above the three billion minimum sought. The number of subscribers was about 17,000,000. Every Federal Reserve District over-subscribed, the Minneapolis district going per cent, the highest and the New York district to 124 per cent, the lowest. In announcing these figures the treasury explained that the total may be changed slightly by later report from federal reserve banks. "This is the most successful loan the United States has offered, both in number of subscribers and in the amount realized," said Secretary McAdoo in a statement. "I congratulate the country on this wonderful result, which is irrefutable evidence of the strength, patriotism and determination of the American people." "This great result was achieved notwithstanding the fact that the country has been called upon to pay since the second Liberty Loan, and to and including the month of June, income and excess profits taxes to the amount of approximately $3,000,-000,000, which will make a total amount turned into the terasury of the United States from such taxes and the third Liberty loan of about $7,-000,000,000. Total figures of the second loan were $4,616,000,000, and the amount accepted was $3,808,000,000. Pledges to the first loan ran above $3,000,000." United States is smaller than that of many European countries where rice is not even produced. Norway and Sweden consume over nine pounds per capita, Russia over 11 pounds, England 27 pounds, France 34 pounds, Italy over 101 pounds, and Germany more than 93 pounds. But even these European countries do not begin to eat rice as much as Japan and China. In these eastern countries rice is the most important article of diet. Every man, woman and child in Japan, on the average, consumes 147 pounds of rice each year, and those in China 158 pounds. The importance of the place rice holds in the diets of foreign countries as a staple food, says a recent statement of the department, would prove beyond doubt that it is highly nutritious; an analysis of rice supports this proof. Pound for pound, rice is about as nutritious as wheat. Every hundred pounds of cleaned rice contains 87.7 pounds of nutriment, while every 100 pounds of wheat contains 87.1 pounds. Wheat has the advantage in protein and rice in carbohydrates. Most of the American per capita consumption of 6 pounds per year is used in the Southern states, in some of which it is on the table with at least one meal a day. In these states it holds the same place in the dietary that the potato does in the Northern states. Rice as sold by most American grocers is a pretty grain, with a smooth and shiny surface, attractive to the eye, but it lacks the palatableness that makes foods popular. This rice has been so highly milled that it has been robbed of much of its food value and of most of its oily flavoring matter, leaving a product known to the trade as polished rice, which to many persons is tasteless. Unpolished rice is offered and accepted as a product superior to the polished rice, but in reality its food value is only better in a hardly perceptible degree. If the American housewife could be induced to demand brown rice instead of taking the polished product, there would be a marked increase in the consumption of this cereal in a short time, the department says. The superiority of the brown rice and its pleasing flavor, compared to both the polished and unpolished rice, lie in the fact that the entire seed, as nature produced it, is used, only the inclosing chaff or hulls being removed. In the preparation of rice, the housewife is advised to take care that it does not become an uninviting, gluttonous meal since the second Liberty Loan and to and including the month of June, income and excess profits taxes to the amount of approximately $3,000,000,000, which will make a total amount turned into the terasury of the United States from such taxes and the third Liberty loan of about $7,000,000,000. Total figures of the second loan were $4,616,000,000, and the amount accepted was $3,808,000,000. Pledges to the first loan ran above $3,000,000,000, but the loan was limited to $2,700,000,000. Subscribers to the second loan numbered about 9,500,000 and to the first loan about 4,500,000. Records by districts are as follows: District Quota Subscriptions Minneapolis $105,000,000 $180,826,350 Kansas City .130,000,000 180,826,355 St. Louis .130,000,000 179,085,000 Atlanta .90,000,000 126,653,359 Philadelphia .250,000,000 361,963,500 Dallas .80,000,000 115,395,200 Chicago .425,000,000 608,878,600 Richmond .130,000,000 185,966,959 Boston .250,000,000 354,537,250 San Francisco 210,000,000 286,577,459 Cleveland .300,000,000 404,988,200 New York .900,000,000 1,114,930,799 U.S. Treasury .17,915,159 The subscriptions accredited to the treasury were those sent direct to Washington. Officials explained that one reason the total subscriptions of the second loan exceeded those of the third is that during the last days of the second, when it was apparent the loan was heavily oversubscribed, some corporations and banks doubled the subscriptions they actually meant to take knowing only half the oversubscriptions would be taken.

A major general leads the field army and also each army corps. or taking the polished product, there would be a marked increase in the consumption of this cereal in a short time, the department says. The superiority of the brown rice and its pleasing flavor, compared to both the polished and unpolished rice, lie in the fact that the entire seed, as nature produced it, is used, only the inclosing chaff or hulls being removed. In the preparation of rice, the housewife is advised to take care that it does not become an uninviting, glutinous mass, which has been its common table form in this country. In certain sections of the Southern states rice is served with each grain distinct and separate, making a tempting and appetizing dish. In seeking information on the art of cooking rice, says the department, no mistake is made in referring to South Carolina where the true value of this cereal has been appreciated for over two centuries. A Carolina housewife would advise the using of 1 pint of rice after thorough washing, which she considers important, "to a quart and a pint of water," and tea-apoonful of common salt. "This is to be boiled over a quick fire for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Then pour off all or nearly all the water; cover the vessel and put over a very slow fire and allow it to steam for 15 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 modifications of the recipe given, but it must be remembered that the results should not be a glutinous mass, and that success depends upon the proper amount PRO-GERMAN DISTURBS A RELIGIOUS MEETING Chris Habener Interrupts Speaker and Is Hustled From Tent Interrupting an attack against Germany by Evangelist Fred St. Clair at the Mennonite-Pilgrim revival tent at Orange, with the cry, "It's a lie," Chris Habener, local citizen of German descent, was ejected from the tent. The sudden and startling interruption came during a denouncement of German religious teachings by the evangelist. In reviewing religious history of Germany he stated that years ago Germany started to revise the Bible and that they had gone so far as to apply a certain evil name to the Saviour. At this point Habener leaped to his feet and shouted, "It's a lie." Near him was Constable Jackson. Before the significance of the words ANAHEIM GAZETTE "A Great Net of Mercy drawn through an Ocean of Unspeakable Pain" The American Red Cross THE HOPE OF NATIONS could sink into the crowd, Jackson selzed Habener and pulled him from the tent. It is more than probable that serious results were thus avoided. Away from the tent Habener was repentant and regretted his mistake. Just what disposition will be made of his case has not been decided. Meanwhile he has been released. Habener has made his home in Orange for six or eight years. He owns extensive grain lands in North Dakota and is proprietor of the plaza fruit store there. He owned and operated the first jitney bus in America, in 1911. His son, William Habener, went to Camp Lewis a few days ago with a local draft contingent. The incident was the most sensational local occurrence of this nature since the near riot at Campbell's hall about a year ago when John D. Works delivered his pro-German address for the Peoples' Council. SCHWAB WILL VISIT WESTERN SHIP YARDS Director General Spurs Workers to New Efforts Wherever He Goes Charles M. Schwab, director general thousand of his money at the same time. The president of the International Shipbuilding corporation, C. A. Stone has done the same thing for his men at Hog Island. John Carse has offered the same bonus to his men at Newark and each day sees new records going up. In view of the fact that at the present time the Pacific coast division leads all of the other divisions of the emergency fleet corporation in tonage constructed, it is intesting to think what may happen if the director general's money goes west of the Rockies. The Pacific coast division, which includes Washington, Oregon and California, leads the North Atlantic division by a ratio of seven and three quarters to five and one half. Next come the Great Lakes an dafter them the Gulf States. In a list of 47 shipbuilding plants all over the country the Los Angeles Shipbuilding corporation stands 27th and the Long Beach shipbuilding corporation, 35th in the amount of construction turned out estimated in dead weight tonage.

SCHWAB WILL VISIT WESTERN SHIP YARDS Director General Spurs Workers to New Efforts Wherever He Goes Charles M. Schwab, director general of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, will visit the Pacific Coast within the next three weeks for a thorough inspection of every shipyard in the west. This was determined at a conference of the Shipping Board officials Saturday just before he left for Detroit to enthuse the shipyard workers in the Great Lakes district. At present the itinerary of the director general has not been completed but the tentative plans are that he will go by way of Chicago and Duluth to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. If for any reason his trip is delayed longer than the middle of June this plan may be reversed, but it is expected that he will return from Los Angeles by the gulf and visit the shipyards there and on the South Atlantic before his return to Washington. Everywhere he goes enthuses men to the greatest possible activity and the work has speeded up with the greatest fervor and spontaneity. His offer of $10,000 to the men of the yard that has the greatest excess tonage of production above its quota has spurred not only the men, but the owners. W. A. Harriman, chairman of the Board of Merchants' shipbuilding corporation, has told the Bristol men that if they win the director general's ten thousand they will win ten Next come the Great Lakes an dafter them the Gulf States.

Mannatt in his complaint asserts that in a fracas on January 16 Richards bit Manatt's nose, almost severing the end of the nose, and bit his arm and finger. In his answer, Richards denies the allegations of the complaint, and in addition alleges that Manatt is a quarrelsome fighting man, an assosclate of thieves and gamblers, and a low and disreputable character. He declares that upon the occasion of the fracas Manatt robbed him of $25 in money and tried to rob him of a $3,000 diamond ring. The court is asked to refuse any damages to Manatt.
