TEACHING l'EOPLE TO EAT RICE
"Wherever rice gets a trial it
stays," says the New Orleans States.
"Due the reasons why; Tice is
bein? eaten more than it used to
be " the States continue, "is that
it hai had the benefit of some ia
'elliieetit advertising. It would
ccm* ii.'o even more general use
as a cheap and nutritious food
s'uf ii it had still more advertis
ing.- ;.i..i
Our Louisaua contemporary's ad
vice might be taken to heart by
those parts of the South -which
pr -luce the staple. The high price
of .vlieat has already caused a great
increase in the consumption of rice
aui Cher less expensive foods, and
as the price of wheat is lkiely to
remain high until long after the
swords are turned into plough
shares the nee growers not only
can imj rov$ their markets, but they
can perform a public service by
spreading the gospel of the nutritive
value and low cost of an article of
foe ' that every home needs at
this time.
