Rice 10 commonly supposed to be
deficient in muscle making qualities,
and yet the japanese, whose chief and
almost only food is rice, are noted fer
their physical strength. and, in the la
ter advance on Pekin ouTs'I-pped the
armies OF Russia, Germany, England,
France and America. Also, note the
same marvellous energy Of the Japan
csc IN the struggle with Russia. For
an explanation Of these facts the Rev.
H. S. Chubb, of the Philadelphia Veg
etarian Society, applied recently TO he
agricultural department His letter
was referred TO Professor S. A.
Knapp, who Investigated the rice in
dustry in China. Japan and the Phil

to be very simple. The Japanese and
other rice eating nations do not polish
the grain except for export In the
mills the outside coating Of the rios
kernel is rubbed off The cutter husk
aud the bran just within 1t ara rernoY-
ed, and then the kernel is rubbed to
remove the rough protein surface. This
is called polishing, and the pro2e4s
not only removes one Of the most nu-
ritious substances in al cereals, but
depriyes the grain Of about three
fourths of its flavor.
