AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED
TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT
By ALFRED W. McCANN
CHAPTER 191
There is no economy in preparing
Stood rice with tomatoes, onions und
cabbage—The recipes contained in the
I'ree Hicc Bulletin arc extravagant—
The folly of substituting standard
head rice for ]>otatocs Is determined
liy the obvious fact that there are
no substitutes for onions, tomatoes'
and cabbage—The Paris bread regu- :
lations, which went into effect March
JI, 191". should be enforced in all
communities of the United States, |

Why Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce
The answer of most fat people is |
that it is too hard, too troublesome'
and too dangerous to force the weight
down. However, in Marmola Pres
cription Tablets, all these difficulties
nre overcome. They are absolutely
harmless, entail no dieting or exer
cise, and have the added advantage
of cheapness. A large case is sold \
hy druggists at 75c. Or if preferable,
they can be obtained by sending price
direct to the Marmola Co., 864 Wood
ward Ave., Detroit, Mich. Now that i
you know this you have no excuse
for being too fat, but can reduce two, |
three or four pounds a week with- j
out fear of bad after-effects. |

comes necessary to substitute stand -
I ard head rice for potatoes.
Standard grade head rice, as we
i have seen, is not a substitute for po
j tatoes. Potatoes contain a vast ex
j cess of base-forming substances,
j whereas standard grade head rice
(polished rice) contains an excess of
j acid-forming substances. They bear
no more resemblance to each other
J than an undenatured ripe banana
bears to highly milled patent flour.
On the banana monkeys and hu
| man beings can live indefinitely. On
| an exclusive diet of patent Hour they
: are doomed to tuberculosis and col
, lapse.
I The rice bulletin, issued for free
distribution among the poor, urges as
1 a matter of "economy" the use of rice
j with cheese, peas and beans, all of
j which now happen to be among the
most expensive foods on the market.
The bulletin also publishes a num
ber of recipes which call for the use
of tomato sauce, now a luxury; cab
bage, which for a time threatened to
be seen only in museums of natural
| history; onions, which since the civil
; war have .never been so high and kid
ney beans, ♦which happen to be the
1 most costly aristocrats of the bean
family.
In passing it might be said that
beans of any kin<J are cheap at any
I price. They have never been prop
j erly appreciated in the United States
i since the practical extinction of the
American Indian, who ate them in
great quantities.
But no real economy is achieved in
, exploiting the sham virtues of stand
ard head rice when such expensive
I'oods are included in its preparation
i for the table. Fresh tomatoes, in the
principal cities of the United States
during the first week of March, 1917.
were quoted at 25 cents a pound
wholesale for prime quality and 15
i cents a pound wholesale for seconds.
At retail these tomatoes sold at
from 23 to 35 cents a pound. Such
; tomatoes are, of course, hothouse to
i matoes. Standard canned tomatoes
No. 2 are now worth $1.25 a dozen
wholesale or approximately 15 cents
a can retail. They contain 99 per
cent, water, and estimated on a dry
solid basis are worth $9.60 a pound,
at which price we might as well eat
the expensive potato.
Certainly if preparation with to
matoes is essential to the finished dish
of standard head rice the argument of
economy falls fiat and all reason for
substituting rice in the place of the
potato vanishes.
During the first week of March old
onions were worth sl2 a hundred
wholesale, and were bringing 2 5 cents
a pound in the market at retail. One
year ago onions sold at 2 5 cents a
peck. Ten days ago they sold at $2.40
a peck. Any recipe calling for onions
in order to complete a dish, the base
of which is standard grade head rice,
results in the production of a finished !
dish far more expensive than the po
tato even at prices twice as high as j
they now are.
It may be that the recipes calling
for the use of these luxuries with rice
were worked out when the so-called
substitutes for potatoes were cheap.
But to make rice palatable and at
the same time as cheap as the rice
bulletin asserts it to be. we are re
duced to the painful necessity of find-
ing less expensive substitutes for
onions, tomatoes and cabbage. There
are no such substitutes.
The free rice bulletin declared,
"Many people do not like rice." It re
mained silent as to the reason be
hind the fact.
People do not like head rice because
it has no flavor. It is one of the de-
I natured foods which in itself is so in
j sipid and characterless that it must
jbe drenched and disguised under a
mass of gravy, soups, sauces or other
condimental or succulent treatment in
order to make it palatable.
Natural brown rice possesses a
flavor of such character that it needs
j no such drenching or disguising.
Growing children on a diet of nat-
I ural brown rice will continue to grow.
I On the same diet mothers can bring
! forth their offspring and nurse their
infants indefinitely. On a diet of
standard grade head rice they go to
pieces.
If there ever was a time when all
foods entering the larder of a family
forced to subsist on a small income
should be whole, complete, and entire,
that time is now.
Paris, with its regulations of March
11, 1917, enforcing the use of whole
meal bread, where heretofore white
rolls were common, has set the ex
ample. The cities of the United
States, with profit to themselves,
would do well to follow it.'
Honest whole meal bread (not the
! molasses-stained fraud that mas
querades as graham bread in the
jbakeshops of our large cities), with
whole wheat breakfast foods, natural
j brown rice, whole oatmeal, whole
cornmeal, unpealed barley peas,
; beans, lentils, and whole pure pas
teurized milk, would stiffen the na-'
tion's backbone and help to put real
preparedness on firm feet.
The rice bulletin was designed to
meet what was said to be an emer-
gency. No such devices can meet an
emergency when, hastily put togeth- I
er, they ignore fundamentals, fotget I
the simplest facts of the market I
place, and misstate the truth.
The rice bulletin calls for milk in j
the preparation of the rice dishes I
which it suggests as an inconsequen
tial incident of minor importance.
Yet milk is to-day the cheapest ani
mal food purchasable in the United
States.
THE SOLDIERS' LITTLE JOKE
Paris, Mprch 29. —The Paris police
authorities have decided in the future
to arrest all soldiers on leace who
perpetrate the hoax that they are
carrying dangerous hand grenades or
other high explosives in theunder
ground railways or tram cars, thus
scaring other passengers to get out.
It has been a common practice for
soldiers weighed down with a steel
helmet, knapsack, blanket roll and
canteen to squeeze into a crowded car
and then warn the other passengers:
"Don't jostle or crowd me or my
grenades may blow up."
Thus usually caused many fellow
passengers to leave the car at the next
station, thus giving the soldiers plenty
of room and seats. Two poilus have
been arrested for this hoax.

A BAX OX HAWAII AX DAXCERS
Atlantic City, March 2D.—Ha
) waiian dancers will no longer be per-
J mitted to cavort about beach front
cabarets. Director of Public Safety
Sooy issued the following warning:
"Owing to the complaints mado last
summer by visitors and citizens of At
lantic City against the Hawaiian
dances permitted at various cafes, the
commissioners have determined to no
tify the managers of cabarets that
such dances, will not be permitted
during the coming season. This is to
notify you not to make contracts with
such performers, and that contracts
already made should be rescinded at
once."
Discussing the order, Director Sooy
said that when the Hawaiian dancers
first appeared at local cafes their
grass skirts were modest and becom
ing. As the competition became keen,
however, the skirts continued to
shrink to a point that provoked pro
test. "Atlantic City is liberal," Di
rector Soo.v declared, "and strains a
point in this regard, but there is a
I line which cannot, be passed."
SCHEME TO SAVE CENTS
Chicago, March 29.—Under a plan
which has been tried in Austin, a sec
tion on the West Side of the city, and
which will be adopted gy grocers
thero next Monday, housewives who
go to market, pay cash for their pur
chases and carry them home, will
save six cents. The grocers have de
cided on a fixed charge of five cents
for delivery of purchases and one
cent for charging them.
Cured His RUPTURE
1 was badly ruptured while lifting a
trunk several years ago. Doctors said
my only hope of cure was an operation,
trusses did m no good. Finally I got
hold of something that quickly ana
completely cured me. Years have pass
ed and the rupture has never returned,
although X am doing hard work as a
carpenter. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble. I have nothing
to sell, but will give full information
about how you may find a completo
cure without operation \t you write to
?},e. M. Pullen, Carpenter,
.tO6C Marcel lus avenue, Manasquan N
J. Better cut out this notice and snow
it to any others who are ruptured
you may save a life or at. least stop the
misery of rupture and the worry ana
danger of an operation.
