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.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAYS FEB. 24. 1010
PROMINENT ALBANY MAN
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Albany, Feb. 17—While hunt
ing today Raul If. 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.
