RICE AS A FOOD PRODUCT. < From The Houston Post.) in the agitation growing out of tin* high prices of food product.il, particularly meats, there in uf t .tiled !» splendid opportunity for the friends of rice to ptchh tlie virtues of that cereal tt« a horn* product meeting all the essentia 1 requirements of a nutritious and healthy food for human consump tion ,il i pnc within reach of o\ i-rv consumer. True there appears to bo too "rent a disparity between the price at w hich the cereal is mar keted in the rough and the finish ed product, as sold to the consum er, hut even with this disparity rice ih hl l ll' about the cheapest food, quality considered, that can he served in the home. Father more, it possesses all the nutri tious qualities necessary to the making of bone and muscle, to say not hing of its exquisite palati i.ility w hen properly prepared. There are already a mini her "I organizations engaged in the land able work of encouraging its lar ger use in this country, but being a product peculiarly adapted t" southern nulls in and near the coast regi ms, every southerner should const it ute himself a com mittee of one to an! in the move ment to that end. There is vust room for tin expansion of the in dustry, and since the general use of the cereal by the people of this country, to the measurable ex clusion of some of the higher-pric-i »-d and less digestible foods now used, would he of immense benefit to them, there should he more (‘.operation among all who are in I any way identified with the indus try in the matter of placing it on sab* to tlie consumer at a price which will prove highly attractive without destroying the dealer’s reasonable profit, thus materially augmenting the volume of con sumption. FALSE HAIR. From the New York Times. Jietroit has a strange story of a girl ulHtcted by leprosy through making the “rats” worn on wo men’s heads. “Kilts ’ are made! sometimes of human hair, though we have reason to believe that horse hair and the stuff called ex celsior are also employed in their 1 inaiiulactute. They are used to impart to the heads of women the now fashionable proturborant ef fect. Detroit is told that much i ot the false hair in use comes from countries where leprosy is prevalent and an “eminent specia list” has said that all w omen who I wear false Imir are in danger of becoming lepers. If preposterous fashions were over checked by assertions that they were dangerous or unhealthy we should bo inclined to hail this “eminent specialist’’as a public benefactor. But women have been decking their heads with false hair many years. Just now they are using greater quantities <>(' it than usual. The hydrocepha lic style of ooitfure is in vogue, ''lint* and pulls are in great de mand. Leprosy is not a common dis ease m the Western world, aiul i to attribute it to “rats” is as fool- j i*h ns to attribute cancer to thei use of tobacco. An excessive use' of “rats'' might produce brain j fever, but that malady does not usually begin on the surface of the head, and it is not common among the users of “rats.” False hair and ugly coiffures are not t i he disposed of by threatening the.r wearers with imaginary di - :uo s Development ot a sense •of beauty and tit ness, of a taste s >r simplicity m dress and adorn ment would be the only w ay. If ;t woman is bald she is not to be I lamed for wearing a w ig. But t >r a woman naturally provided with an ample and comely supply •ff hair to pad it out, hideously.] and intertwiue with it large! quantities of purchased hair, is foolish. It is, however, the fash ion. WHISTLING AND WORK. (From the Washington Herald.) Whistling has been called an evidence of cheerfulness. But most normal will pro uounce the cheerful whistler an unmitigated nuisance. It is not to be assumed that the cheerful whistler is a willing worker— upon the contrary, whistling may be taken as evidence presumptive of a vacant mind. The art of whist ling is difficult. The artistic whistler is an expert and com mands money at the ticket office. The ordinary unconscious wfaist-; ler drives unwilling hearers to distraction. He is an irritant. This explains why an applicant for a position was rejected ut the; office to which he was recom mended. Not only did he whistle while waiting, but he whistled “Auld Lang Syne.” The employer decided promptly that the whist ler would not fill the job. l’er tiaps had the whistler whistled “A Hot Time,” and whistled it well, lii" selection of a tune would have been regarded as an indica tion of an alert disposition, of readiness to think and act quick ly, »l ability to hustle, and to make his surroundings caloric by frict ion wit h hard work. But his selection of an air of sentimental reminiscence caused the inference that his mind was dwelling in the [last rather than in the living, ac tive present. But it were better not to whistle at all, either when applying for a job or while hold ing it down. Thus will bo mani fest a regard for the sensibilities of others and a certain concentra tion upon immediate affairs, how ever prosaic and unmusical they may be. THIS TIME IT IS TEXAS. Missouri is the “show me” state and t lie novolt ms 1 hat are develop ’d in that, commonwealth are as numerous ,is the historical novels written in Indiana. Kansas lias nothing the mutter with it, and is at last taking its position as an orderly, decorous member of Lucie Sain s large family. Wis consin, lowa and Minnesota are in tlic limelight because they raise insurgents, whose chief pleasure in life is to put a bent pin in ‘ I ncle Joe’s” chair. Many years ago, someone said they raised h—l in Texas, but since then times have changed. They will do original things io t hat broad land symbolized by the Lone Star. Recently the press reports from Galveston brought a [dispatch which has all the ear marks of a “nature fake.” Be that us it may, we will consider the matter without attempting to substantiate it. Sheriff Anderson, of Harris county, is a busy man. He has a cotton crop to look out for in addit ion to a dozen or more prison ers. Anderson ow ns a big. bear named Daisy, and he has learned that Daisy cannot pick cotton, but that she is an excellent jailer. So Daisy is allowed to run loose in an inclosure surrounding the jail proper. The prisoners are inside and Daisy on the outside of the building. Four daring members of Sheriff Anderson’s unwilling family plan-! nod to depart the other night I'hey sawed their way through the s bars, and were in the inclosute i ready t le. p the fence when Daisy heard the commotion. She ! was prompt to respond to the call jot duty and less than a minute !ater the four jail breakers were backed into an open cell and light ing for their lives. Daisy practi ally disrobed one of the men by j izing his prison suit so lirmly j that it gave way, and h;s shrieks brought the sheriff' and the jailor. I’iie frightened prisoners went gladly to their cells. No further! atteiubts at jail delivery in Har-j ri» count v are looked for. - I Dental Notice. • l will be in my office in Alley j Feb. 28d, -Ith and 25th, and ask j that uiy pat roue call on me on' those dates.

Jones, a prom inent business man of this place was seriously shot in the richt forearm and it is feared that he will lose his«hand. He was in an automobile in which a loaded gun had been placed. The weapon was discharg ed when one of the dogs thrust his paw against the trigger. Mr. Jones was brought to Albany as speedily as possible and physicians are making every effort to save his hand, but the result appears to be ;considerably in doubt. The charge of shot which may cost Mr. Jones his hand passed within a few mches of the heud of J. S. Davis, president of the Al bany Trust Co., who was in the hunting party. RI LE NISI.
