Whoever happens to like rice
will never need worry much about
the high cost of living.
Rice ranks among the most
nutritious of foods. IL is the
staff of life for one-half the hui

milk or cheese IL becomes an APP

cakes and buildings. Served with
cream 1t is a palatable breakfast

Rice is an acceptable food all
the year and particularly appe-
tizing in summer.
Expert cooks in Uncle Sans
government kitchens have recent
ly been experimenting with the
best way of preparing rice. And
in the present era of high food
prices, their recommendations
will be much appreciated by eco
nomical housewives.
IL Is well TO remember
that when rice Is used abund-
antly in the diet IL is particu-

RICE SOUTUERN STYLE

When rice is prepared in south
ern fashion, all the grains are
kept separate. Slowly add a cup
OF thoroughly washed rice to a
quart OF rapidly boiling water,
which contains two level tea
spoons of salt. The boiling should
continue all OF the time the rice
is cooking. Stirring Is not per-
mitted, as this will break the rice
grains. About 20 minutes is suf-
ficient to cook the rice. Pour off
all the water from the cooked
rice, cover with a cloth, and place
in a warm part of the stove. SO

move the starchy material from
the outside of the grains, cooks
sometimes turn the cooked rice
into a strainer and pour one
quart of hot water over IL before
covering with a cloth and allow
ing to steam and swell. A cup of
raw rice cooked in this way will
give over 4 cups Of very white
and light. boiled rice.
The water drained off from the
rice can be used In soap making
to save the starch and mineral
natter which 1t contains.

DESSERTS OF RICE

AS the basis of a sweet dessert,
rice is always useful, especially
so for individuals and little chill
dren.

eggs 1t makes very nutritious

Plain boiled rice, cooked either
in water or in milk, and served
with a little stewed fruit, maple
syrup, honey or other simple
flavor. makes more wholesome
dessert for children than rich
puddings or pies because 1t is less
likely to upset the digestion or to
destroy the appetite for simple
foods.
