Rice Rations-

Considerable attention has been d.
rected towards rice as health food
since the fighting qualities OF the Jap
anese are being so widely discussed.
1t has always been commonly be-
lieved that rice lacks the ingredients
that help make muscle for the human
body. However. the most important
article of diet of the japanese is rice,
and we have recently had occasion to
particularly note the physical strength
of these small people of Japan
Rice, as 1t is eaten in Great Brit
ain. is not muscle-making food,
simply because in mills the outer
husk and bran Of the rice kernel are
removed by polishing, and thus IL
taken away tht part of the rice which
contains the protein. and which is the
most nutritious part of the rice. In
Japan the outside coating OF the rice
kernel is retained, and hence great
strength of muscle is developed in
the Japanese.-London Answers.
