The paper supply question is be-
coming a serious one with the pub-
lishers of th© United States and it is

of whether there will be sufficient
Stock to meet the demand.
President Oscar T. Conklin, of the
Florida Press Association, has sent
out the following letter to the mem-
bers of that organization:
To the Members of the Florida
Association:
On account of the very apparent in-
ability of the paper mills in every
part of the country to supply the de-
mand made upon them by publishers,
I feel it my duty to call your atten-
tion to the necessity of drastic efforts
to curtail consumption of white news-
paper.
The A. M. P. A. has urged this ac-
tion on the part of the large publish-
ers throughout the country, and at a
series of meetings held in Philadel-
phia this month the publishers of
that city followed the lead of those
of New York and Chicago, in unani-
mously deciding to reduce the size of
their papers. These men also agreed
to cut off all returns of unsold copies,
making it so that the production will
be reduced to the actual needs of the
public. It is intended that this will
be a saving of more than two hundred
tons of white newspaper per week in
the three cities named.
I feel it is therefore my duty to
urge all members of the Florida Press
’Association, more especially those
publishing daily papers, to begin at
Onee to cut off returns of unsold
copies, and to reduce to the mini-
mum complimentary papers and ex-
changes. Fraternally yours,
Oscar T. Conklin,

Beaumont, Texas, August 29.—How
to cook and eat rice as a vegetable,
as a substitute for navy beans and
potatoes, which are more expensive,
less nutritious, less palatable and
harder to digest, is the object of a

For the first time in history, exper- I

general manager of the Southern
Rice Growers’ Association. “We be- .
lieve that soldiers ought to be fed
more rice, and for that reason we are
going to create an appetite among
them for this cereal.”
He pointed out that approximately
fifty per cent of the world’s popula-
tion use rice as a staple food and
millions of people in the Orient aim ;
other hot countries eat rice’ almost
exclusively. One of the most amaz-
ing revelations of the Russo-Japanese .
war, he recalled, was the almost per-
fect health of the Japanese soldiery,
whose chief diet had always been rice.
Scientific tests have proven that
boiled rice digests one hour after
eating, while wheat bread requires
three hours and a half; corn meal
three hours. Irish potatoes three
hours and a half, roast beef three
hours, stewed oysters two to five
hours, fish an hour and forty-five
minutes, fried eggs three hours, oat
meal three hours, etc.
Dr. Duson and his corps of chefs
will teach the soldiers how to eat rice
and the army cooks how to prepare
it, placing especial emphasis on the
use of rice as a vegetable with gravy
in the noon-day meal.
The result of these demonstrations j
will be two-fold. They will not only I
cause the government to increase its ■
rice orders for army commissaries,
but will put a taste for rice in the
mouths of the militiamen from thej
North, yrho, when they return home,
Many Men Can Be Spared.
Every city ticket office in Houston
could furnish one or two men capa-
ble of serving as conductors on pas-
senger trains. In view of the fact
that travel would be limited in the
event of a strike they could easily be
spared from their regular positions.
In the gener"1 and divis1'** passen-
ger agents’ offices there are other
men similarly equipped, and the
roads are understood to have made
a careful canvass of the situation
and konw to a man how. many they
can draft for immediate service.
While it is impossible to secure
statements from the general offices
on the matter it is known that this
arrangement has been made and will
be put into effect as the first step in
the effort to break the backbone of
the strike at the very beginning.—
