Of the Orient. IL is not used there In
making a raised bread. In this coun-
try dietitians have made excellent
bread by substituting as high as 25
per cent of rice for wheat -four. and
have obtained white yeast bread of
excellent flavor.
Unpolished rice Is offered and ac-
cepted as a product superior to the
polished rice, but In reality its food
value Is only better by so small q de-
gree that IL is practically negligible.
In the preparation Of the polished and
the unpublished rice. the cutIcle. aleu-
rome layer. and germ, which contains
much pi otein and other important food
constituents. are removed. reducing
greatly the nutritive value of the
grain. The real difference between
these two mill products is largely in
the coating Of the polished rice with
glucose and tale. and the absence of
coating material on the unpublished.
The superiority Of the brown rice
over either of these lies in the fact
that the entire seed as nature pro-
duced II Is used, except the inclosing
husks or hUlls. which have been re-
moved.

RICE FAVORED AS
NUTRITIOUS FOOD
II Consumption Could Be In
creased in United States More
Wheat Could Be Saved.
GREAT VALUE NOT REALIZED
Most Important Article Of Diet In
China and Japan-inereased Pro-
duction Would Release Grain

Here in the United States It is diff
,ult to realize that there is no other
edible product, excepting meat, upon
which more people In the world are de-
pendent for food. than rice. We might
ndvantageously consume much greater
quantities of this nutritious food and
grow the increase in our own rice
fields, according to the 1918 crOp-pro-
duction program recently announced
by the United States department of
agriculture. An increased production
and consumption not only would ex-
pand profitable industry, the federal
specialists declare, but the eating Of
more rice In the place OF wheat would
release a greater quantity OF the bread
grain for shipment to the allies.
Per Capita Consumption.
The average per capita consumption
OF rice for food In this country is
scarcely six pounds year. and most
OF this Is consumed In the Southern
states. The high esteem In which rice
Is held IN other countries is indicated
by their per capita consumption. Nor
way and Sweden consume over o
pounds per capita; Russia over IL
pounds; England. % pounds; France.
"a pounds; Italy, over 101 pounds. and
Germany more than 93 pounds. But
even these European countries do not

and China. There rice Is the most i'm

EACH BREED HAS ITS PLACE

Quality and Value.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
To the novice In poultry keeping 1t
often appears that there Is no real
necessity for SO many breeds and va
rfeties as have been standardized in
America. Further acquaintance with
them, however, shows that although
color differences are in most cases
made merely to please the eyes Of
persons having different preferences
for color. the differences In shape and
size which make breed character have
been developed with a view to adapting
each to particular uses or particular
conditions.
Leaving out Of consideration the
breeds kept as novelties, most Of which
originated before industrial progress
created large demand for poultry
products. all the standard American
breeds Of fowls have been made and
developed on the general principle Of
practical quality, the foundation Of
breed. character and value.
In harmony with this principle the
common classification Of breeds ac-
cording to their place In the general
scheme Of poultry production divides
them into three principal classes. name
ly. laying breeds. meat breeds that are
not as ready and persistent egg pro-
ducers as the laying breeds, and not as
meaty and as easy to fatten ms the
meat breeds, yet combine in one indi-
vidual fowl very good laying capacity
with very good table quality.
The Leghorn, Mlnorca, Andalusian.
Ancona and Campine are well-known
breeds Of the laying class; the Brah-
ma, Dorking. and Cornish Of the meat
class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyapdotte,
Rhode Island Red and Orpington Of
the general purpose class.

BROWN RICE BETTER THAN

Rice as sold by our grocers Is
