THE GOOD HEALTH
QUESTION BOX
BY DIR. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG

HNHE excessive use of meat, so common
i In most civilized countries, by producing
an acid state Of the body leads to a loss
of lime, Insufciency OF phosphates In the
diet also results from the liberal use Of
cane sugar, butter and fine -four bread,
These articles constitute a largo proper
tlon OF the ration with many persons.
In the case Of meat for example, limo
and other salts are lacking for tho reason
that these compounds are found In the
bones. The soft parts of an OK contain.
for example. only about 1-2o0 part of the
lime found in the body taken az a whole,
whereas the bones contain 10000 Of the
lime content OF the body.
Cane sugar contains no lime In tho case
Of fine -four bread, lime is almost wholly
lacking. because the lime IL removed with
the bran Butter contains only small traces
Of lime.
Probably more than half of tho people
Of the United States are suffering from
lime starvation. Large quantities of phos-
pilates are administered incidentally. but
with virtually no effect. BY carefully con-
Quoted scientific experiments wheat bran
has been found TO be a superior source or
phosphates
II is interesting to note the rapidly In
creasng demand for bran and food prepara-
tions containing bran Sterilized bran Ia
now manufactured and sold in considerable
quantities Bran Is useful moreover, not
simply as n source Of phosphate, but as n
means Of giving TO the intestinal contents
the bulk necessary to stimulate normal
activity.

Brown Rice-What 1t Is

To the Editor Of WomaH's Page:
Dear Madam--In one of the recipes publ ished
IN your column recently mention was made OF
s'brown rice" Perhaps am very ignorant, but
don't mind confessing that never heard of
brown rice and do not know whether II Is Just
a name for particular brand or whether II Is
really brown Can YOU enlighten me, and tell
me whether 1t IL any better than the common.
everyday variety buys at the grocer : =!
And Is 1t cooked differently?
MRS. WILLIAM b., Jr,
Brown rice is the rice left with its orig
inal covering on, and is considered much
better in this, its primitive state, than after
It has had the covering removed and the
grain polished with paraffin. The brown
coat holds in its cells those vitamns with
out which we cannot thrive and the loss Of
which so often gives rice eaters that dread
disease, beri-beri. 1t cannot always be
procured. although If housewives would de-
mand it firmly they would probably be sup
piled with ii.
To properly boil it. after picking it over
and carefully washing, place 1t in pan,
cover with water an inch deep, let stand
two hours then simmer until soft. Stir
as lightly as possible, using a fork, so as
not to break the grains, and add no more
water. The original amount should be
nearly absorbed. Salt to taste then serve
with meat or chicken gravy.

The Tub FrOck

In making up tub frocks for the sum-
mer stitching Is popular trimming touch,
and sometimes it is done with II heavy
linen thread so that narrow braid is
simulated. Another popular decorative
touch is the use of narrow bands OF bias
pieces of contrasting fabric stitched on.
For example. frocks of sheer cotton wolfe
are trimmed in bands of heavy linen
usually in contrasting color.
Lingerie frocks will be popular this sum-
mer. Early appearance in the best shops
promises a vogue not based solely on torrid
weather Usually lingerie frocks are not
pushed at all by the shops until May or
until the near arrival of hot weather but
this year they came in along with the major
style showing. Many sheer voiles, Or
candies, dotted muslins, etc, are shown
and this trend in froclSs has also served
TO stimulate Il demand for ribbons, whc,
trim them in various ways and are used
as sa shes, girdles, etc.

wo1ii like some advice as to the settling OF the the
tables on Ss se S % d s se ON S
d:hesl What shall put olives, and candies
bowls after the dessert? WILLETTE,
For dinner a cloth should always be
used. This should have as few folds as
possible. The creases may be taken from
a cloth by ironing il smooth after il has
been put on the flannel and on the table.
The vegetables should not be placed on
the table at ALL They are kept in the
pantry or on a side table and are passed
by the maid 20 the guests. A tablespoon
and fork should be laid in the vegetable
dish, that the guests may help themselves.
Small dishes of silver or cut glass are
placed at odd intervals on the table, and
these should contain candies salted nuts
and olives respectively.
Toothpicks are never to be used and
above all things, never to be served Their
use. is considered very bad form. espe-
cially in the presence of other persons.
Your table can be made to look very
pretty by filling a vase with spring flowers
and placing few ferns about the base
Smaller vases may be placed at the four
corners of the table for decoration Smaller
bouquets might be placed in each.
Have your silver beautifully cleaned and
arrange knife, soup spoon and oyster
fork at the right side of the plate, and on
the left side put fork for each course
except the dessert-that is, II you have
fish, meat and salad. place three forks at
the left side; IL you have only meat and
salad two forks are sufficient A small
bread-and-butter plate is placed at the up
per left side of the main plate and a goblet
and any wine glasses are placed at the
upper right-hand corner. The napkin is
folded neatly and placed above the plate
between the bresd-and-butter plate and the
goblet. A fork and spoon are placed on the
