Stone Cake,

In very unusual seasons the people
Of Rajputan. in India. are deprived Of
seeds and succulent roots Of grasses.
Under these very adverse conditions
the barks of trees and even ground up
rocks are resorted to principally to
give bulk to the scanty meal and there
by to stay the pangs of hunger for a
longer time. A soft stone found on the
BikanirMarwar border Of Jaipua is
largely used in that part of the coun-
try to give bulk to the meager meal
This stone is friable and easily ground
into fine powder. It contains an oleagi-
nous substance which has some nutri-
ent qualities. and the people have
found that when finely ground and
used in proportions of about one-fourth
to three-fourths Of -four it does not i'm
pair digestion for considera BILE time.
