RICE WATER NUTRITIOUS.
Curious Way Some Dritish Omcers
Discovered This Fnct.

II is probable that few occidental
cooks who prepare rice in various
forms for diet are aware that in dis
carding the water In which 1t is boiled
they are wasting what is regarded by
the oriental as the most nutritious part
OF the food This fact was curiously
proved some years since when a de-
tachmcnt of Europeans and native
troops in India found themselves be-
leaguered In fort with Insufficient ra-
tions, even Of rice to enable them to
hold out until force could march
their relief.
1t was when the officers were seri.
ously debating this problem that the
natives approached them with what
was regarded as curious solution OF
the difficulty. If, proposed the latter.
the Europeans took all the rice, they,
the natives, would be quite content
with the water in which it was boiled.
The suggestion. in place of any better.
was adopted, when it was remarked
that while the Europeans found 1t diff
ficult TO maintain their strength on full
rations of rice the natives lost none of
their stamina by several weeks diet on
the water. When the proposal was
made, the action OF the natives was
praised as one of great devotion to
their superiors. but the sentiment was
somewhat Modified when the discov-
cry was made that the natives were
quite aware that the principal nourish-
ment lay in the water.
Since that time Europeans In the ori-
ent, following the custom OF the ma.
tives, have given rice water 10 pa
tlents, particularly in cases of cholera,
as last resort when no other food cpn
be retained in the stomach and usually
with good results. But the natives al
ways value this water so highly that II
