LAKE CHARLES, La., Mar. 22.
A local milling company has con
tracted to ship 2,500,000 pounds ot
clean rice from the Louisiana fields
to Piraeus, the port of Athens,
Greece, it is learned here. The deal

It also was learned that 3,000,000
pounds of Texas-Louisiana rice, val
ued at about $425,000, recently was
sold to firms in Constantinople and
that the rice is now on tho high seas.
Rice from California, it is stated,
is to be shipped to Lake Charles by
the Pacific Rice Growers' Association
for distribution, 20,000,000 pounds
already having been arranged for.
The shipment -will comprise 100,000

his investigations of the latest qut-

'that leads him to believe that be is
on the right track and he Is earnestly
seeking to establish his conclusions
as facts.
I Sterilization makes all canned food

not quit indulging In canned apricots,

lax, he says, canners maintaining that
the olive would not stand high tem
perature. It has been found, how
ever, that this is not true and that
olives come out solid from a bath at
240 degrees tahrenhelt. So he be
lieves that future sterilization regn
latlons will -remove all danger of
botulism.
So far, the expert admits, the gov
ernment investigators are absolutely,
battled in providing a remedy. Serum
treatment is a failure Insofar that ns
certain results have been obtained.
Medical treatment has had more suc

ery of the patient often follows. The ,
percentage of mortality from botu

per cent.
Besides the case of the Johnson
hens, Dr. Gelger believes there have
been other cases here, and will re
main for several days gathering data.
