RICE FORMS BASIS OF MANY FOREIGN DISHES Combines Well With Many Flavors and Can Be Substituted for Potatoes, if Vegetables are Used Rice and potatoes are not exact equivalents in food value, although both contain a relatively large proportion of starch. Potatoes, unlike milled rice, contain minerals and vitamins B and C. If the diet, however, contains plenty of fruits and vegetables, the use of rice for potatoes makes little difference from the standpoint of nutrition, because these needed substances are abundantly supplied by the other foods, the United States department of agriculture believes. In countries where rice is an important item of diet it is usually combined with some other local food of pronounced flavor. An American use for dry, flaky, cold boiled rise is as a salad basis. Left-over peas, carrots, green beans, or fresh tomatoes may be combined with left-over rice, or small amounts of fresh fruits. Grapefruit makes delicious salad when served with rice and French dressing. Plain cold boiled rice or cold pressed rice may be served with lettuce with a hot or cold cheese dressing, or with mayonnaise. Either adds greatly to the nutritive value of the dish and gives it an appetizing flavor. Rice Combination Salad— 1 1-2 cups cooked rice. 4 tablespoons chopped pimiento. 3 tablespoons grated cheese. 4 tablespoons chopped celery. 4 tablespoons green peppers or olives. Salt. Combine the ingredients and serve on lettuce with French dressing, or mayonnaise. Most of the rice curries in the orient are made with a basis of plain or boiled rice, to which are added other dishes combining many foods and flavors, such as minced ham, salt fish, chopped toward which the organizations of railway employees have been working for several years. With special energy they have been working toward that end since the days when they saw the results of government operation under the McAdos regime. Government management during the Wilson administration resulted in four important changes in policy which were highly satisfactory to the railroad employees. First; there was an increase in wages at a far greater rate than the increase in income which the railroads received. Second, there was an increase in the number of employees out of proportion to the increase in the amount of traffic handled. Third, there were changes in the rules which enabled employees to secure pay for services not rendered, which enabled employees to secure pay for a higher class of service than actually rendered, and required the attendance of skilled men when the character of the work was such as could have been performed by men of lower classification. Fourth, the wishes of the employees as to policies in management were very generally concurred in, so that there was practically employee management. This was the establishment of a sort of bolshevistic control—control not by the owner or the man who had demonstrated superior organizing and executive ability, but by the employee. It was a step in the direction of the adoption of what is known as the Plumb plan which contemplates government ownership with operation by a commission in which the employees shall have a dominating influence. It has been common talk among railroad employees for many months that ultimately a controversy would be precipitated and a strike called with the result that railroad transportation would be interrupted and the government would be forced to take over the roads. This is what the employees desire, believing that because of their numbers their political influence will be able to influence which the organizations of railway employees have been working for several years. With special energy they have been working toward that end since the days when they saw the results of government operation under the McAdos regime. DILL PICKLES ARE AND KEEP The method of making pickles from that for kicles in two important much weaker brine is added, chiefly distilled of the dill herb oil; curing of dill pickles; the time required for pickles, but measures age are necessary. In making pickles open topped stone jar ceptacle to use. One lions is a convenient heck jar is not suitable purpose. In the bottom of the er of dill and one-half spice. Then fill the jar 3 inches of the top cumbers of uniform size one-half ounce of spill dill. If obtainable, grape leaves over that be placed both at the top. Grape leaves have a greening effect. Make the brine as pound; vinegar. 3-4 quarts. Cover with or plate to hold them below the brine. If possible temperature (86 degrees F.) is made soon forms on the should be skimmed off. After active fermented it is necessary to kill against spoilage exposed around th should be coated with pickles should be seared or cans when sufficient Most of the rice curries in the orient are made with a basis of plain or boiled rice, to which are added other dishes combining many foods and flavors, such as minced ham, salt fish, chopped boiled eggs, fruits or vegetables. They are usually served in a curry dish with perhaps 8 or 10 small compartments. After taking a portion of plain rice, each person chooses as few or as many of the other dishes as desired, spreads them over the rice, then covers the whole mass with curry sauce made as follows: 2 tablespoons fat. 2 tablespoons curry powder. 2 cups hot milk, water, tomato juice or cocoanut milk. 1-2 lemon. 3 cloves. 1 tablespoon grated cocoanut. Salt and cayenne. 1 chopped onion. 1 tablespoon chutney. Melt the fat and stir in the curry powder, add the milk or water, tomato juice, or cocoanut milk, and cook until it is smooth and thick, then add the other ingredients and let the sauce summer for 30 minutes. The dish known as pilau—a combination of rice, meat broth, meat and fat—in some rice-producing countries forms the common staple food of the people. Pilau is also a popular dish in Turkey, where it is often colored with saffron and flavored with spices or mixed with currants in a way that does not find favor with western palates. Other forms and combinations are common in the Creole cookery of the southern states. Any kind of meat or fowl may be used. Plain Pilau— 1 1-2 pounds meat. 3 cups water. 1 teaspoon salt. 1-4 teaspoon pepper. 1-2 cup rice. 4 tablespoons butter or other fat. Place the meat in the cold water with the seasoning and bring slowly to the boiling point, removing the scum that rises to the surface. Cook it just under the boiling point for 30 minutes, or until the meat is about half-cooked. Pour the broth into a double boiler, add the rice, which has been washed thoroughly, and cook it until tender. Use The All-Day Fire To Cook Selected Foods Fuel saved is money saved. When a slow coal or wood fire is kept all day to heat the kitchen, select foods that require long, slow cooking. Beans, peas, roasts, and puddings can be baked in the oven and cereals can be cooked in the double boiler on the top of the stove. Broil by putting the broiler through the door over the fire box, rather than by taking off the lids and cooling the fire. With gas and oil stoves reduce air entrapment with operation by a commission in which the employees shall have a dominating influence. It has been common talk among railroad employees for many months that ultimately a controversy would be precipitated and a strike called with the result that railroad transportation would be interrupted and the government would be forced to take over the roads. This is what the employees desire, believing that because of their numbers their political influence will be such as to force government management to accede to their wishes in the matter of wages, hours of labor, rules of employment, etc. This is exactly what the great majority of the people of the country do not desire. They have had a practical demonstration of the inefficiency, waste and extravagance of government management not only of the railroads, but of various other undertakings. The issue is clearly drawn. The railroad employees constituting 2,000,000 of the total population of the United States are on one side. Undoubtedly they have with them some proportion of the remaining 108,000,000 of the people of the country. The 2,000,000 are well organized and are conducting a propaganda very cleverly planned and executed for the accomplishment of their purpose. That portion of the 108,000,000 who are opposed to government ownership are not organized, and have no immediate means of making their wishes known to those in governmental authority at Washington. In the absence of such an organization it behooves the individual citizen who wishes to stay on the onward sweep of socialism and bolshevism to sit down and write a letter to his senators and congressmen assuring them that the public will heartily support them in resisting the efforts of those who wish to overthrow private enterprise, discourage private initiative and make this a paternalistic government. Many of the flower gardens have been planted which originated from Persia to Constanthenia; it still grows state in Java and Ceylon. The chequered France and Italy about Crown Imperial lily from Persia to Constanthenia; there it was taken to garden at Vienna, where way all over Europe.

The most popular rese is to be found country north of the rivers its name from red. Of this plant more cities have been described than 2000 varieties m 1 teaspoon salt. 1-4 teaspoon pepper. 1-2 cup rice. 4 tablespoons butter or other fat. Place the meat in the cold water with the seasoning and bring slowly to the boiling point, removing the scum that rises to the surface. Cook it just under the boiling point for 30 minutes, or until the meat is about half-cooked. Pour the broth into a double boiler, add the rice, which has been washed thoroughly, and cook it until tender. The rice will absorb the broth and the grains will be unbroken. Add the fat just before removing the rice to serve. While the rice is being cooked finish cooking meat by browning it in the oven or in an iron kettle on top of the stove. When both rice and meat are cooked, pile the rice on a platter and place the meat on the rice. Spanish Rice— 3 onions (medium size). 1-2 cup drippings. 1-2 cup uncooked rice. 3 cups fresh or canned tomatoes. 3 green peppers cut into strips. 2 teaspoons salt. Slice the onions and cook until tender and slightly brown in the melted fat. Remove them from the fat, add the rice, which has been carefully washed and dried, and tomatoes, green peppers, and salt; turn the mixture into a ball and bake it until the rice and peppers are tender. This will make 6 or 8 average servings. NO GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP "Let the government take over the roads," is the solution which the railroad brotherhoods propose for this controversy between employers and ployes over the question of war. TO COOK SELECTED FOODS Fuel saved is money saved. When a slow coal or wood fire is kept all day to heat the kitchen, select foods that require long, slow cooking. Beans, peas, roasts, and puddings can be baked in the oven and cereals can be cooked in the double boiler on the top of the stove. Broil by putting the broiler through the door over the fire box, rather than by taking off the lids and cooling the fire. With gas and oil stoves, reduce, by careful management, the number of burners used. Regulate the size of the flame. Turn the flame down after the boiling point is reached. The United States department of agriculture advises using double boilers, steamers, and compartment vessels which fit over one burner. Cook eggs or small vegetables in the bottom part of the double boiler while cereal is cooking in the upper part. A colander or a wire basket fitted over a saucepan makes a good steamer; steam vegetables such as carrots or squash in the colander while potatoes are boiling in the saucepan. Broiling and baking ovens: Use all the oven space. If there is a roast for dinner, plan a baked dinner if quick breads are being made, bake fruit or a dessert at the same time. Bake as much as possible at one time; this saves both fuel and time. Small toasters and ovens that require only one burner save fuel. Use the simmering burner for slow cooking. Cook in large quantities cereals, soups, and foods that require long cooking but keep well. Covered saucepans heat more quickly than uncovered ones. Turn out the gas when not using the burner. Matches are heavier than gas. It was the people who went into a state socialism, industrial financial. They went ately, temperately and polls, with nobody but blame if they failed. Herald said at the time body to take the creat them if they succeed. The people of North Dakota voted themselves into socialism labored at patiently. They put best intelligence into large sacrifices for it they gave it the chance were in the scheme its hardworking and met to win. But it failed. It fail people of North Dakota it failed to satisfy the state. It affiled to des political institution. So the people of themselves now begin program of socialism as they went into it, eration and by legal ballot box. North Dakota, because after the best t he scheme could not work out the way its zealous introducers try out, is a refreshing ex American sense. DILL PICKLES ARE POPULAR AND KEEP WELL IN JARS The method of making dill pickles differs from that for making salt pickles in two important particulars—a much weaker brine is used, and spices are added, chiefly dill. The entire stalk of the dill herb is used. Because of the weaker salt concentration the curing of dill pickles takes only half the time required for ordinary brined pickles, but measures to prevent spoilage are necessary. In making pickles straight-sided open topped stone jars are the best receptacle to use. One holding 4 gallons is a convenient size. A narrow neck jar is not satisfactory for this purpose. In the bottom of the jar place a layer of dill and one-half ounce of mixed spice. Then fill the jar to within 2 or 3 inches of the top with washed cucumbers of uniform size. Add another one-half ounce of spice and layer of dill. If obtainable, place a layer of grape leaves over the top. They may be placed both at the bottom and the top. Grape leaves have been found to have a greening effect on the pickles. Make the brine as follows: Salt, 1 pound; vinegar, 3-4 quart; water, 10 quarts. Cover with a weighted board or plate to hold the cucumbers well below the brine. If packed at a suitable temperature (86 degrees F.) an active fermentation will at once set in. This should be completed in from 10 days to two weeks if the temperature (86 degrees F.) is maintained. A scum soon forms on the surface, which should be skimmed off. After active fermentation has ceased it is necessary to protect the pickles against spoilage. The surface exposed around the board cover should be coated with paraffin, or the pickles should be sealed in glass jars or cans when sufficiently cured. THE USES OF OBSCURITY The ordinary average citizen who does his day's work, pays his debts, supports his family decently and sleeps soundly, will be justified in remarking with apologies to the great bard, "Sweet are the uses of obscurity." It does not necessarily follow, that he who attains fame and possibly affluence, is destined to disappointment and unhappiness. It all depends on whether he proves to be greater than the fortune that has become his. If he does not, he is a misfit and there will always be those envious, designing persons who will take advantage of the fact. His powers of resistance will be weakened by his constant self-consciousness of the fact that he is merely a successful farce, tolerated so long as he affords entertainment to others. After all, humanity, like water, seeks its level. Artificial barriers are swept aside, and the man who is qualified only to perform the humble duties of a bar boy, invariably returns to the place in life where he belongs. Chief among the uses of obscurity is the fact that the man who has never had the opportunity to splurge, who has led an honest, industrious, God-fearing life is never worried by memories of departed splendor and folly. He takes no morbid pride in the boast that he has "seen better days." And he really gets more out of life than the person who has been privileged in squander millions. HOW THICKLY SETTLED? A map showing the density of population the country over, based on figures available since the 1920 census, is interesting from many points of view. Those of us who think of all European countries as congested will be surprised to learn, for instance, that the average number of persons, per square mile in the United States is 35.5, while in Sweden it is 33.8, and in Norway only 19.1. We have come to look on California as the end of the trail for all travelers westward; and still California has only from 18 to 45 persons to the square mile as compared to 400 and over who occupy this same area in New Jersey, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Rhode Island, the most thickly populated of our states with 565.4 persons to the square mile, is second only to England, which, with a population of 669.2 seems to be the most thickly populated country in the world. Massachusetts with 479.2 runs a poor second to Belgium which with 652.7 follows close on the heels of England in respect to population density. At the other end of the scale we have Nevada to tell the world how to make a few people go a long way to cover the total area of that state. Of the 62 foreign countries in which population figures are available Arabia leads the world in being thinly populated with only .7 per square mile. On the whole the 1920 census gives indication that we have not strongly exerted ourselves in following Horace Greeley's suggestion to the young man of his day to go west. Missouri is the only state west of the Mississippi river which is put into the group of states having a population of more than 45 persons per square mile. Of the growth of our population throughout the entire country the census gives report to the effect that we have grown from 25.6 persons per square mile in 1900 to 35.5 for the same area in 1920. In 1900 we had 25 acres per inhabitant, today we have only 18. Still our latest figures present nothing alarming. If we will make proper use of it, and distribute it properly, there is still enough land to go around. A cheap wit makes for a dear reputation. HOW THICKLY SETTLED?

This New Price Yield 8.3 Per Cent On It was the people of North Dakota who went into a statewide program of socialism, industrial, commercial and financial. They went into it deliberately, temperately and legally at the polls, with nobody but themselves to blame if they failed, as the New York Herald said at the time, and with nobody to take the credit away from them if they succeeded. The people of North Dakota raving voted themselves into the program of socialism labored at it diligently and patiently. They put some of their best intelligence into it and made large sacrifices for it. In every way they gave it the chance to win if it were in the scheme itself, backed by a hardworking and meritorious public, to win. But it failed. It failed to satisfy the people of North Dakota as signally as it failed to satisfy those outside the state. It affiled to deserve to live as a political institution. So the people of North Dakota themselves now begin to go out of the program of socialism of their own will as they went into it, calm delibration and by legal process at the ballot box. North Dakota, dessocializing because after the best test it could get the scheme could not be made to work out the way its own honest and zealous introducers tried to work it out, is a refreshing example of plain American sense.
