these authorities rice furnishes nour.
ishment to more than half the people

atheetic nations of the world live on
diet OF rice, that rice is the most
easily digested of all foods, and con-
talns the elements required by the sys-
TEN in more nearly the proper proper.
tl"ns than any other food. Prof.
Bunge, than whom there is perhaps O
greater authority on the subject of
kidney troubles, asserts that a. diet
OF rice is a most estimable one either
as preventative of these troubles or
as an aid in their treatment. In con-
cluding the following points of excel
lence regarding rice are brought out
which are of vital Importance to all.
POINTS OF EXCELLENCE WHICH MAKE
RICE THE WORLDS GREATEST

Leslie NJ. Shaw sounds a warning

Leslie NJ Shaw sounds warning
against the establishment of central
