of lost efficiency, and that this stupen- 

 dous waste causes the congestion that 

 finally breaks down the system. 



Mr. McAdoo is not making this appeal 

 through any considerations of personal 

 gain or profit to the railroads, but as a 

 matter of patriotism and national 

 safety. The highest possible efficiency 

 of the railroads of the nation is abso- 

 lutely necessary to put this country 

 where it must stand if it is to carry on 

 successfully the great struggle in which 

 it is now involved. Every thoughtless 

 citizen, merchant, shipper, business 

 man who takes one hour needlessly out 

 of the combined force necessary for 

 success is just as guilty — possibly with- 

 out realizing it — as the criminal who 

 pulls a brick from the foundation of a 

 great structure. Comparatively few 

 need be thus removed to bring the 

 whole mass down in terrible wreck, 

 and this is what, by the Director Gen- 

 eral's appeal, he is earnestly struggling 

 to avoid. Every patriotic citizen in the 

 nation should get behind him with 

 earnest and vigorous support, and it 

 can be done in no more effective man- 

 ner than by exercising the utmost effort 

 to unload and release freight cars with- 

 out an unnecessary moment's delay. 



Rice Recipes 



Left-Over Rice 



Although rice has remarkable food 

 value, it has little individual taste, and 

 so takes on the flavor of the dish with 

 which it is combined. This quality 

 makes rice an excellent foundation for 

 milk and cheese dishes, or combination 

 with meat, chicken and fish in stews. 

 Rice can be combined with any vege- 

 table, made into a variety of desserts, 

 used to thicken soups or mixed with 

 wheat flour or cornmeal in bread mak- 

 ing. Even a spoonful left over can be 

 stirred into bread, mixed in chicken 

 stuffing or dropped in the soup pot. 

 Left-over rice may be browned in fat 

 for breakfast or made into cakes by 

 adding an egg, a little milk, flour to 

 thicken and a teaspoon of baking pow- 

 der. These rice cakes are delicious 

 with syrup. 



Rice Cornbread 



Cooked rice can be used in any corn- 

 bread dough. It adds lightness to the 

 bread. From the rice growers of 

 Louisiana comes this recipe for rice 

 cornbread: 3 eggs, 1 pint milk, IV2 

 cups boiled rice, 1% cups cornmeal, 2 

 teaspoons fat, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tea- 

 spoon baking powder. Beat eggs very 

 light, add milk and other materials. 

 Beat hard and bake in shallow greased 

 pan in hot oven. 



Rice Hash 

 Put in a pan one cup each of boiled 

 rice, cooked meat cut fine, and hot 

 water. Season with one teaspoon each 

 of salt, chile pepper, and chopped 

 onion. Boil fifteen minutes. 



Baked Hash of Rice and Meat 



Put in a stew-pan one cup each of 



chopped meat, cooked rice and milk, 



two tablespoons of fat, one teaspoon of 



salt, one-fourth of a teaspoon of pep-
