rail .has been adopted by the Ameri-

improvement here mentioned would
[have been accomplished sometime
since but delay was occasioned by
the Inability of the Southern Pacific

I! You Can't Eat Neat Eat Rice.
Whether the present high cost of
living is due to the formation of
trusts or combinations of small
dealers the fact remains beyond
contradiction that articles upon
which the ordinary individual and
his family are compelled to subsist
have advanced materially. This
advance has bet?n manifested all
along the line but particularly has
it excited public attention in the
matter of recent increase in values
of meat products. The butchers
have been included in the list and
today g*>od beef meat veal and
pork are selling; at an advance of
from ten to twenty per cent. The
matter is becoming serious as it di-
rectly affects the question of living
in the matter of household expen-
ses and the man with a urn al
salary in using the parlance of the
street is "up against it." That is
why we s'iggeet "If you can't af-
ford to eat meat eat rice."
The value per pound is largely in
favor of rice as this cereal provides
five times the food material as the
same value expended for beef. Rice
is cheaper it is more easily digest-
ed than any other foot) it can be
cooked in over 'JUU different forms
and it contains every element of nu-
trition. The high price of beef and
other meat products should mate-
rially increase the consumption of
rice and being a Texas product
should enhance the value of the ag-
ricultural classes. —Literary Bu-

The Last Day.
This in the last day of the meet
successful reunion of United Con-
federate Veteran» that has ever
been held. The immensity of the
attendance has been gratifying not
only to the local committee» and to
the citizens of Dallas and Texas
generally but to the surviving
leaden of the greatest struggle in
the world's history. A reporter for
I this paper spent yesterday in Dal-
las and after hearing various esti-
mates made of the attendance and
making a survey of the fields it ia
certain that the veterans from this
and other states numbered fully 80-
000 while there were at least aa
many more of the younger genera-
tion on the ground from this and
other states. *
The parade of the veterans yes-
terday morning a full account of
which is given in our press dis-
patches was a great event. Not-
withstanding the faet that the
streets were thronged with people
only a few accidents were reported.
A small hoy fell under a moving
electric car and had one leg crushed
off and during the parade a young
woman was run over by a mounted
guard. She was picked up without
sustaining any injuries.
