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-lncrsased Pro-
duetIon Would Release Grain
for Our Alliss.

Here In the United States 1t Is diff
cult 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
advantageously 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 a 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 a 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 8
pounds per capita; Russia over IL
pounds; England, 27 pounds; France,
"a pounds; Italy. over 101 pounds. and
Germany more than 90 pounds. But
even these European countries do not
begin to eat as much rice as Japan
and China. There rice is the most i'm
portant article Of diet. Each man,
woman and child In Japan, on the av-
erage, consumes lat pounds Of rice
each year, and those In China. 1853
pounds. The placing Of such depend
ence upon rice as staple food GER
tainly proves beyond a doubt that 1t Is
highly nutritious; analysis Of rice sup
ports this proof. Pound for pound rice
100 pounds of cleaned rice contains
ST. pounds Of nutriment. Of which 8
pounds are protein, O.3 pounds fat. 70
pounds carbohydrates, and O.4 pound
ash. The analysis of wheat flour shows
that it contains S7.1 pounds Of nutri-
ment In each 100 pounds. Of which 1O.s
pounds are protein, IL pounds fat. 74.S
pounds carbohydrates, and O.4 pound
ash. Thus the total nutriment In rice
Is a trifie greater than In wheat.
Wheat has the advantage In protein
and rice in carbohydrates.
FoodstufS for Orient.
Although rice is the great foodstuff
of the Orient, 1t Is not used there In
making a raised bread. In this coun-
try dietitians have made excellent
bread by substituting as high as 70
per cent Of rice for wheat -four. and
have obtained white yeast bread of
excellent flavor.
Unpublished rice is offered and &C
cepted as a product superior to the
polished rice, but In reality its food
value Is only better by 80 small de-
gree that 1t is practically negligible.

THE PRICE YOU PAY

II know I ought to take treatment;
I have been running down for the
last year or two I am all tagged out,
have no ambition. worry from morn
ing till night, don't care whether
am dead or alive, have lost weight and
cannot do the same work l used to
do some years ago. If I we're as
strong as 1 was, could earn good
money. I know 1 ought to treat with
a good specialist, but / cannot afford
to pay for the treatment"
You are paying for it NOW, my
friend, and dearly; yet you do not
get it,
Let me tell you why.
Your health is your capital: your
working capacity is the interest you
are drawing.
A good manager never spends more
than his interest.
Should he begin to draw on the
capital his interest would, of course,
decrease.
And what are you doing?
You allow your health to run down
more and more; therefore. you can
not work and earn what you used to.
Do you see the point? You are draw
ing or your apital-Which is your
health-by allowing it to run down,
and so the interest (your working
capacity Is steadily growing smaller.
You used to make good money;
now you earn about half of what you
used to get.
To make two, three or four dollars
was play to you; and you had all
your heart and soul in your work.
These happy days are gone.
You now barely make a living and
find it almost beyond your strength.
And you shudder at the thought Of
what will happen when the final
breakdown comes
Figure out IN dollars and cents
what you have lost already and you
will be amazed at the amount; and
what you are going to lose is beyond
estimation.
The dollar you MIGHT earn, but
don't, is an actual expense to you.
You spend it. And what do you get
for it. Worry. anxiety, dependency.
want and deprivation for your family.
The dollar you take out of your
pocket and spend for treatment with
an experienced specialist is not an
expense. 1t is an investment. And in
return you get increased working
ability, higher wages, health and hap
piness at home.
Which will you choose?
