IS IT CHEAPER TO BUY RICE?

Alfred W. McCann, the Food Expert, Says It Is Not. Rice is urged as a substitute for the costly potato. The rice most of us get is the standard head rice, which loses its valuable mineral qualities in the process of milling. Once it is milled, rice, lacking in mineral salts, is not as cheap as potatoes. Rice advocates assert it has more strength-giving material than potatoes. “Potatoes are threefourths water, while rice contains practically no water.” Answering this argument, Alfred W. McCann, the food expert, says that rice, when boiled, is nearly three-fourths water, while dehydrated potatoes contain less than one-twelfth water. Potatoes are richer in protein and are fourfifths starcfh as compared with onefourth starch in rice.' However, starch is deleterious unless it is enforced with pineral elements. The potato contains six times as much calcium, twenty times as much phosphorous and five times as much iron as head rice. Starch, when, lacking in mineral matter, hastens death instead of supporting life. Rice —brown rice—<s good because it has not gone through the milling process and made denatured. The white rice we eat is forbidden in the Japanese army and navy as well as in United States hospitals, workshops and prisons.

is the rule for Easter You may not like to wear new clothes on that day, but that is no reason why a bright new lock would not look well on your door. We can supply you with one that will increase your safety. C. w. EGER. Brown rice is cheaper, food experts contend, and safer. But milling companies would not makb so much profit if this country went in for rice that did not go through its toll-levying machinery. LATE BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS March 22, to Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Schroer, a daughter.
