Editor Times:
Wo rarely look over a paper or dis
cuss existing conditions, nt tho pre
sent time, but what the question of
tho "high cost of living" Is cnllcd to
our attention.
VnrloiiN economists nnd sonic of
Coos Bay's Shipments Last
Year Over Hundred Mil
lionOregon's Trade.
Coos Uny's lumber shipments tlur
our .(so-called) statesmen parade the
country telling iib tho causes for ex
isting conditions and offering rem
edies therefor.
Thus far tho writer has not heard
of anything being advocated that
looked nt all advantageous to tho
"poor consumer." Now, Instead of
doing so much grumbling, why not
iiso n little common sense and try
to select sonio of tho cheaper foods.
A cheap food docs not necessarily
mean an inferior product, and If you
will kindly glvo mo space In your
valunblo paper I shall quote a few
lines on tho subject of only ono food
in particular, which has been given
"absont treatment" by n great ninny
people, largely through Ignornnco of
its real vnluo nnd partly through pre
judice. Whllo the people of the
nioro highly civilized portions of the
enrth are adjusting their economic
differences nnd seeking cheaper
means of food supply thoy have neg
lected ono right nt their very door,
nnd that in rice.
While rlco constitutes over one
half of tho world'H food supply, .vet
the middle clniw and tho well-to-do
tho world over huvo neglected It, v
ceptlng the people In the southern
pnrt of the 1'nltod Suites.
Hero In tho north nil wo use rlco
for Is to throw at n bride and groom,
when really It would bo n groat deal
klndlcr to shower them with n few
recipes for cooking It.
Another thing wo or tho north iiho
rlco for Is as a foundation to hold
a few rnlslus In u gummy pudding.
Wo cat tho raisins and usually iiiiibh
llko n bnby In tho rlco.
Tills practice Is ns foollHh as buy
ing soap to got tho perfume. If you
like nilsliiH, ent them; but lt'tt a
shnino to waste good rice Just ns mi
excuse.
Rlco Is not only tho most nutri
tious of nil coronlH, but It In more
easily digested, nnd this Inst Is n
most Iniportnnt element In tho econ
omy of foods; for, nH Horaco Fletcher
hns recently prnvon, nu enslly dlgost
od food requires less bodily enorgy
tho dlgostlvo onergy is conserved for
other physical nnd mental efforts.
Flotchcr's entire theory Is in (show
ing food that Is doing with the
teeth what most of ns do with our
stomnch. Hlco contains SC.00 per
cent nutriment, while wheat contains
82. M nnd potatoes 23.21.
It requires but one hour to digest
that Is, ir properly boiled while
nn ogg raw and whlppod requires 1
"hour nnd 30 minutes; raw milk, 2
liours niul lfi nilnutno, nnd roast hoof.
3 hours nnd .10 minutes.
It has boon stated that rice hnu no
food value In eold cniiutrUw by lt
lack of bent-producing pleiuonta, but
government report indicate thnt It
Is better ns a Iiiiiiihii fuel than wheat:
Mint rice tnmln liltcltowt hi beat pro
duction, with th oxeentiim of oat
meal nnd eornmenl. The failure of

Fild. wn rnupivl liv nn old wartime
loke. nnd In unite of tho fact tuat
nnnv of (lie southern food and
methods of cooking wore Intrnducad
into the north by returning aoldlort
nnd negro refugee.
It must bo romomborod that the
Ttussn-Jnpnuofo wnr was won on n
xlco diet. There Is no water hi rlco.
nnd for this reason It absorbs a groat
njinntlty of wnter In rooking, so that
n pound of rlee mnkes four pounds oi
food. This Is one of tho reasons thnt
mnko It nn economical article of diet,
because you do not pny for the wnter.
Tn potntoes nnd other vegetables n
Inrgo pereentnge of water Is In the
nrtlclo nnd must be paid for by tho
Tinuiid. Tho only element thnt Is
lacking in rlco Ir ono that tho food
ebemlsts hnvo not found, nnd thnt Is
advertising. The American people
should bo educated to Its full vnlue

llo who produce rice. Alt this will

Is expected that tho present yenr will

Tho grand totnl of Oregon lumber
cargo shipments In 1910 amounted to
605(2")0,G2G feet. This Is nn increase

During the year 1910 tho lumber
cut of tho city of Portland approxi

Is the position of Portlnnd maintained
as tho greatest lumber cutting city

amount of tho cut over 1909 was np-
proxlmntely 90,000,000 feet, tho ex

During 1910 tho city of Tnconin
cut npproxlmntely -100,000,000 foot,
or nbqut tho same amount ns produc

tho amount of lumber produced In
1910 ns conipnred with tho year 1909,
tho total cut for the latter year being
npproxlmntely (510,000,000 feet, ns
conipnred with 002,000,000 tho yenr

which was n slight decroiiBa from
1909. Tho cut of Wlllnnn Harbor for

The total cargo shipments from
Portland hi 1910 aggregated 191,
120,510 feet. This la an Increase
over tho previous year of nbout 10,
500,000 feet. Tho foreign cargo

COMMON SENSE.
SALEM, Ore., Feb. C Striking nt
a long-established institution tnc
forcing of railway employes to sub
scribe monthly to n hospital fund Is
ono of two Inboi? measures which Sen
ator Slnnott Is fnthcrlng. The other

liability Inw. Hnllroads in common
with snwmllls and mnny other lnrgo
corporations, nsscss employes a spe
cified sum every month which nro
known ns "hospital dues." This
money Is deducted from tho pny en
velope, so that tho concerns will know
thnt the men have paid. The hos
pital fund Is UBcd for tho benefit of
tho men nnd Is supported by them.
Mnny employes never have occasion
to tnko ndvnntngo of the hospital ar
rangements, but for years contribute
regulnrly to tho maintenance of such
a fund. Tho rnllroad men nro said
to havo requested Sonntor Slnnott to
present the bill to abolish tho com
pulsory fee. The measure mnkes It
a mlsdomennor for n rnllroad to force
employes to pay into tho fund for
