' FOR MAKING DISHES IN OUR DAILY DIET I1 "Southern Style" Which Means % With All of The Grains j Distinct. Then; are few food materials which scive more purposes than rice. It is used as a breakfast cereal, as a thick ening for soups, as a vegetable, as an in^odiont of "made dishes," in which I it may appear in combination with meat, fish, eggs, cheese, or vegetables and sweetened and flavored in various ways as a desert. The Office ofi Home Economics of the department has been studying the food value of rice prepared in various ways, and ! housekeepers can perhaps us ? i\ with) bct?}-r understanding of its advantages if they consider some of the results of these studies. In and of itself, rice is a mild, and; pleasant-flavored cereal, which, when; properly cooked, furnishes the !>ody{ with an abundance of easily digested' starch, and this explains why oriental; can use it as the "staff of life" ir-' stc^td of bread, and why it may be J substituted for wheat or corn or oat-[ meal as a breakfast cereal.

I Ideas differ as to what is the best way of cooking rice, but probably the mcst generally accepted, standard is to have all the grains distinct. Rice cooked in this yay is often described as "southern style," although it is by no means confined to the Southern Stages. It may be prepared as follows: To a quart of rapidly boiling water, containing two level teaspoonfuls of salt, a cupful of thoroughly washed rice is added so slowly that the boiling is not stopped. No stir-! ring is permitted, the rice being kept! from sticking to the kettle by the! I rapid iboiling. About 20 minutes' [cookwg is needed. When the rice is soft, the water is poured off from it and it is covered with a cloth and placed in a warm part of the stove so that its grains will swell.

When so cooked about t hree cupfuls of water and one level i I tea* noon fid of salt ar allowed for a cupful of rice. If the rice is not stirred while it is cooking, it will be not! unattractive in appearance, although i the grains will not be absolutely dryi and separate. A more savory dish may be made by substituting meat broth and strairod tomato juice fori the water. The food value of boiled rice may, bo increased by using milk instead of water in preparing it. This has no special advantage in families where' milk must be economically used, but where there is a large amount of skim milk which might otherwise bei thrown away it is worth considering.! If rice is cooked in an uncovered j double boiler it can he made to absorb at least six times the volume of , milk. By this means the protein of' the dish is greatly increased. In the; following recipe the amount of pro-, tc in supplied by the skim milk isj equal to more than that in a pound of j round beef without bone. Rice C-ooked in Skim Milk. 1 cupful of rice, (> cupfuls of skim' milk, .'5 tcaspoonfuls of salt. Wash the rice thoroughly. Cook in an uncovered double boiler till all the milk is absorbed, which will take at least an hour. This nutritious dish can be mad? savory as well by adding to the ingredient* one-fourth level teaspoenful of curry powder ami a few grains of cayenne. Eaten with butter or gravy, it is eery .palatable when served with meat or in a similar way. If one prefers, the r?ce can ne made savory by seasoning with a few drops of onion juice, eelery salt, and paprika, or a little cayenne pepper, if it is liked, or with grated cheese. THE HORSY HERA LI HOW HOG CHOLERA IS EASILY SPREAD! (Columbia Record.) Mr. J. C. Ramplcy, chief state in-1 spector of fertilizers under the direc-1 tion of Clemson College, saw the statements in the Record of Tuesday with reference to hog cholera in Richland county, and states that this is a very serious matter but can be handled successfuly if the farmers of the county will cooperate with Mr. E. E. Hall, the county farm demonstrator. Mr. Rampley has handed the Record the following valuable information for farmers: How did the cholera get on your farm ? Careful statistics were com piled last yea?* to trace the source of disease on 880 farms in three counties. It was found that 33 per cent j >f this infection was spread by visit ig neighbors and by exchanging v/ork. If your neighbor walks through his! infected hog pen and then comes ovorj and walks through your hog pen, the j chances are pretty strong that he will; 1 spread infection to your stock. The Disease is Easily Spread. Sick hogs on adjoining farms spread 4.5 pc-r cent of the infection;; dogs carried 6.5 per cent; previous! infection on the premises was re- I sponsible for 0.5 epr cent; stray hog. ' carried 4 per cent; now stock brought 1 in 10 per cent; contaminated streams: spread 8 per cent, uvnl birds ir.tro-' llllCfvl 9.7 fl Pf!' i-nnt nf f linen . i eases.

HEALTH SERVICE CURBS TRACHOMA The establishing* cf small trachoma hospitals in localities where this contagious disease of the eyes is prevalent presents the best solution of the trachoma problem, according to the statement contained in the annual report of the Surgeon General of the Service. The Service now has five trachoma hospitals in the three states or Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia, and so great has been the number of applicants for treatment "that a waiting list has been established. In the past fiscal year 12.000 cases of trachoma have been treated, the larger proportion of which <werc cured, while those in which a cure was not effected have been greatly improved and rendered harmless to their associates. The great majority of these | trachoma patients were people who, lived in remote sections far removed | from medical assistance, and who, but for the hospital care and treatment provided would have remained victims of the disease practically the reinder of their lives. "When it is considered," the report of the Service states, "that thousands of p'.so s su'Vering with trachoma a da gt rous contagious disease would othcrwi.ee remain untreated if is realized how far-reachir.g results have beer, obtained through those tra ehoma hospitals and th.c ether publL kwlVi work dure in thrs cor ratio.a Tt voulil he impossible to estimate with any degree of accuracy the nu n her of people who have been raved M'orn contracting tin" comnur.ncu'. -1 disease by thus removing these tli i ands of foci infection."

Absolute Cleanliness Required1 by Club Demonstrators Teaches Lessons Nothing demonstrates the value of homo sanitation in a more practical way than the homo canning of fruits and vegetables, according to the demonstration agents of the Depart j ment of Agriculture and State cch kges who working with the {riffs' \ winning clubs in tl?e South. The first step in ever; cunning demonstration is to make certain that the kitehc* and all utensils are absolutely clean and that the product to be canned is in sound, wholesome condition. The next step is to sterilize thorough'}* utensils, fruit, and cans and jars, as heat and cleanliness are the only pre- j serving elements allowed. In teaching the "why" and "wherefore" cf i heat and cleanliness in canning, the demonstrators are able to give the girls, in a simple way, practical knowledge of tlie effects of bacteria and molds and to make them realize that dirt is synonymous with these1 destructive "germs." The gill win*' neglects to take these tilings into no i count soon gets a serious object lessor in a spoiled batch ef canned vegetables. Following such <ici .enst.ations it is far easier to get families ' ) adopt sanitary measures with milk v:ater, and otlu r footle than when the general subject of sanitation is attacked directly or in an abstract way. In their campaigns against the house fly, the county agents in the South have found that inducing the children to make a h'vno eorr true Led flytrap is far more effective than literature or general discussion of the danger from these typhoid carriers. Once the family instalsl such a trap and sees that it is catching hundv d; and thousands of these dirty insects right where their food is prepared they are ready to consider further p.'ovt 'dive measures such as the deduction of the larvae of flies in tin manure heaps. It is then not difficult to ifducc them to screen then doors and windows, and. to rootinuo the use of flytraps to catch the few flics that .U'ct in in spite of screens. Willingness to exercise the greatest care in the disposition of garbage and filth, and especially to prevent flics from passing; from stables ami outhouses into the house, fallows logically. o k/\J should be "nipped in the LjV iL/j bud", for if allowed to run #Wj rfrj unchecked, serious results UjY may follow.
