Rice is really our hest starchy food. It contains also a smal] amount of protein, a trace of fat, and some min- eral matter. Starchy foods Supply heat and energy to the body, and are, therefore, really more valuable than meat, which produces muscle. It is four time as nourishing as potatoes. Most of us in the past have only associated rice with eggs, milk, raisins as the principal ingredient of pud- dings. The majority of Canadians have still to learn the use of rice as a vegetable which our American frienda, especially the Southerners, learned long ago. It is the most -easily -digest- ed of all the starchy foods. It is readily absorbed and leaves little or no waste in the intestines. All starches in their final digested are converted into sugar, Ries is about the most abused of all our foods in the cooking. boiling" it; they say, but may result in a delicious appearing and tasting food or --across between paste and porridge. Let no house- keeper come out of the war days with. out learning how rice grains may quadruple themselves in the cooking and be the nourishing, delectable food that doubtless they ware resigned to be. Wash the ries in several cold wa- ters. Have ready a large dish nearly full -of rapidly -boiling' water, Sprinkle in the rice slowly eo as lull to stop the boiling. Boil rapidly without the cover fon' twenty minutes. If the rice seems hard at the end of that time boil tort minutes longer 11 must be dry and mealy, like potatoes net wet. Drain it in a (01041der and pour over it there, quickly, a quart of oold water. Place the colander on a plate and toss the rice about with a fbrk from the centre to the sides. Stand it on the back of the stove or et the oven door, where heat will pass through and dry it. Turn it at once into a shallow dish or platter, tossing it out vith a fork, being careful not to break the grains. If these direc- tions are followed each grain will have swollen to four Limes its natural size and no two grain, will be sticking together. It should be as white as snow. A nourishing meal for .gchool chil- dren at noon is a plate of boiled rice with a slice of bacon on top, followed by apple pudding.

"Sphagnum moss' says a natural- ist, "usually a light yellowish green, grows plentifully in the temperate zone, and there are nineteen varieties 011 the North American continent. It forms the soil in which orchids flour- ieh, and as it flies it transforms itself into the pent bogs which give the Irish peasantry their fuel. In Canada and the States, its chief users have been florists and nurserymen, the fer- nier making it the bed for floral de- signs because of its capacity for hold - Ing moisture, the latter wrapping it about the roots of young trees and shrubs to preserve them during trans- portation." Wonderful Absorbent Qualities, Not the most careful examination with the naked eye would lead the ex- aminer to suspect tate moss of its won- derful absorbent qualities, but the microscope revealed its lace-like struc- ture and the way in which nature en- ables it to take up and hold in the minute cells of which it Is composed liquids, such as blood, w-hich soaks through absorbent cotton to bandages and bedding and to render antiseptic whatever fluid passes through its own filtration plant. "Of course, the best MOSS 111 the -,s-otld is gathered 10 'Ireland" said the profeeeor. Se far we consider that the. best Canadian specimens come from NCva Scotia and Cape Breton, where atmospheric conditions are ontnething-similar to the climatic con- ditions in Ireland. It is also found in Northern Ontario. In this part of the world I find that the most luxuriant eyowth and the largest leafage is to befound under trees where the mois- ture is held for a greater length of time. "Medically and economically the dis- covery of the properties of sphagnum terms a godsend. Its absorbent qual- ity is six—some authorities say seven —times greater, weight for weight, than cotton or gauze; it is aseptic, that is, bacteria will not grow he it; it is said to be springier and, there- fore, does not pack as does cotton wool, and its cost, as you see, is pray tically negligible. Canada to Supply Moss. "The moss is handpicked, to free it from leaves, sticks, evergreen needles, etc., and it is then allowed to dry in wide, shallow bags. Subse- quently it is enclosed in cheese cloth, or gauze, of the size required for vari- ous pads, different qualities of the moss being put to different uses. Splint pads, bed pads and elbow cushions are made of slightly coarser moss than that used for the absorbent pads, which are made in four sizes. Voluntary workers were given per- mission, a year or more ago, to gath- er sphagnum in the New Forest for the British Red Cross, and it is be- ing used also in the French and Bel- gian hospitals and in Malta, Alexan- dria and Serbia. With the famine in the cotton mar- ket and the discovery of sphagnum, which lies ready to the hand of Bri- tain and her allies, there comes cor- roboration of the assertion of many men of science, that somewhere Dame Nature has provided for every need of man. And devout souls will add to this their conviction that when men's need is sorest and when they have made use of all possible ways of supplying that need that there is a Directing Mind leading them 16 further sources of supply and the best means of adapting it to their necessities.
