What Rice Is
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

The whole rice grain contains
protein, fat, starch, sugar, bineral
matter, fiber and one of the most
important of the vitamines. BY re-
moving the bran coat and the grain
in milling, part of the protein, fat
and mineral matter, and practically
all of the vitamines are lost. What
remains is mostly starch. Expert
ments in the tropics have shown
that persons fed almost wholly on
polished rice contract the dread dis
ease known as beri-beri. The pub
LEGATION of this fact has caused some
people to fear polished rice as a
food. AS a matter of fact, polished
rice is an excellent food to furnish
the starchy element in a mixed.
diet. 1t is no more dangerous to
eat than wheat flour, as long as
other foods are eaten with it. The
point is simply that brown rice.
from which only the husk has been
removed, leaving the germ with its
vitamine content, the mineral sub
stances and the fat, is a vastly val
liable food than polished rice. 1t
would tend to supplement many of
the characteristic deficiencies of
our diet. 1t would be a great thing,
therefore, If the use of brown rice
could be made popular.
The trade seems to be ready to
supply any demand there may be.
There a three grocery stores at
least in Washington where brown
rice may be bought from fall UNI
til spring. 1t is not kept in the
because, as one grocer put
it, it becomes 'weevilly." 1t can
be bought in this city, however, at
least eight months in the year.
Doubtless it can be bought at large
grocery stores in other cities. In
smaller. places it is not obtainable
simply because there is little or no
demand for it.
Wild Rice Now Sold
1t is a surprise to find that the
retail stores here also have for sale
the wild rice of North America. This
is a grain, somewhat distantly re-
lated to the true rice, which grows
in many of u swamps and marsh
es. 1t is the ~favorite food of wild
fowl. 1t was a staple of the Amer
lean Indians. who used to paddle
through the marshes in their ca
noes and scatter the grain into the
boat with their paddles. Some of

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The
greatest food in the world, accord
ing to the Department of Agricul-
ture is being neglected by the Amor
lean people.
You Will probably be surprised to
learn that this food is rice. 1t de-
serves the title of greatness in that
it is the staple food of about one
half of the human race, and that
more people depend almost exclu-
sively on rice for their food than
depend on any other n thing.
It's wide use is justified by the
fact that it contains about as much
nourishment as any of the other ce-
reals, and is one of the most easily
digestible Of all foods. In the
southern part of this country, rice
is appreciated at its true value, APP
pears on almost every dinner table,
and is prepared in a dozen of APP
petizing ways. But in the rest of
the country it is used only SPAR
ingly, and too often it is prepared
in ways that are not calculated to
make it attractive.
Rice, therefore. deserves to be
boosted, and especially unpublished
or brown rice, which has made its
appearance in a few grocery stores
only recently, but would be obtain.
able everywhere If there were q de-
mand for it.
Rice shares the fate common to
all grains in civilized countries of
being milled in such a way that
some of its most important food
elements are cut away from it and
fed to cattle. The things in which
our diet is apt 70 be deficient r
minerals, roughage, and the recent
ly discovered elements known as
vitarlines. These are the very
things which the milling process
takes away, not only from rice, but
from wheat, corn and barley. Ex-
perts contend that many of our
characteristic civilized diseases r
due to the shortage of these ele-
ments. The outer coatings and the
germs of grain contain these nee
essary elements. They are removed
by the mills primarily because they
impair the keeping quality of the
product, and so make them harder
to handle in trade. Furthermore,
the people have become accustomed
to these highly milled cereals, so
that there is little demand for the
whole grain products. Much has
been written about how the manu-
facturers and retailers are starving
us by selling us these highly milled
foods. AS a matter of fact, they are
merely giving us what we demand.
If the people could be made to n
derstand the value of whole grains,
and to like them, 81 that a demand
could be created, they would be
supplied by the trade. This is al
ready taking place to some extent
in the a of rice. which is an
instructive example in many ways.

BY DR.. r.. H. BISHOP

Whether it be from lack of hard
foods, requiring prolonged chewing,
or from the ervou hurry of mod
ern life, or from other causes, it is
undoubtedly a fact that most people
in America eat too rapidly. The
correction of this habit will go far
toward reforming an individuals
diet in every way.
Thorough mastication means
chewing up to the point of involun-
tary swallowing. 1t does not mean
forcibly holding the food in the
mouth, counting the chews, or other
wise making a bore of eating. 1t
merely means giving up the habit of
forcing food down, and applies to
all foods, even to liquid foods. which
should be slipped.
The consequences and evils of in
sufficient m~astication are many, and
may be enumerated as follows:
insufficient use of the teeth and
Jaws and hence dental decay, as we'll
as other and worse dental evils: in
sufficient saliva mixed with the food
and hence imperfect digestion of the
starchy substances; insufficient sub
division of food by mastication and
hence slow Digestion: the failure of
the taste nerves to telegraph ahead,
as it were. to the stomach and other
digestive organs an intimation of the
kind and amount of digestive juices
required and hence Indigestion; the
overseasoning of food to make 1t
relishable even when bolted and
hence ~overeating and irritation of
the mucous lining: the excessive use
of meat and eggs and like foods.
which can be eaten rapidly with rel-
alive impunity, and the correspond
ing neglect of other foods which re-
quire more mastication, like bread.
grains. vegetables and salads. and
hence intestinal poisoning.

the Pilgrims"
The thought was identical. The
words were so nearly the same, it
would have seemed quite impossible
that the two men should have used
them independently. But Parker GER
tainly did not steal them from Cleve-
land; and whatever Grover Cleve-
land was or was not, he was not the
man to say that he already had writ
ten these words before the arrival Of
Parker's letter and editorial II he
had not actually done so.
There is some actual stealing of
ideas, some of it reprehensible, and
some perhaps m~eritorious. Not many
of us have many original ideas. We
do about as well as can be expected
of us if we steal wisely.
The man from whom we steal may
have stolen from some one, and he
from some one else, back to Adam.
Billy Sunday meets the charges of
plagiarism and the evidence of the
deadly parallel column by saying, II
put quotation marks around my
whole Sermon"
But beside the stealing, both the
virtuous and the vicious, there is
honest duplication of thinking. Great
minds run in the same channel, and
so do some other minds.

FEEBLE BLOOD

! Blood; Liquid And

When blood becomes thin and weak
it is due to a falling off in the number
of red blood cells. IL is easily recog-
nized by pallid skin or a blemished
complexion, loss of appetite or unnat-
ural irritability and sensation of
weakness. 1t is not dangerous at first.
In fact, many people scarcely notice it
and go on for days. thinking they will
be better the next day.
The great danger is in the posi-
bility of becoming seriously i'll from
disease, which can work havoc in a
body that lacks the endurance and
resistance in rich, red blood.
Taken in time and steadily, a few
bottles of Guides Pepto- Mangan are a
great help. 1t improves the quality of
