(be Magalflecat Mevetoge at a Gav- »rear at Mlaaaert. it is probable that few occidental cooks wbo prepare rice In various forme for diet are aware that In dls- curdlug tbe water in which it is boiled they are wasting what ia regarded by tbe orleutal as tbe most nutritious part of tlie f«xxl. This fact waa curiously proved some years siuce when a de­ tachment of Europeans and native troops In India found themselves be­ leaguered in a fort with insufficient ra­ tions, eteu of rice, to enable them to hol«l out until a force could march to their relief. It waa when tbe offic-re were seri­ ously deluitlug this problem that tbe natlv«-a approached them with what was regarded as a curious solution of tbe difficulty. If, proponed tbe latter, tlie Euro|x-ana took all the rice, they, the natives, would be quite content w ith the water in which it wus boiled. The suggestion, in place of any better, waa adopted, when it was remarked that while tlie Europeans found it dif­ ficult to maintain tbeir strength on full rations of rice the natives lost none of their stamina by several weeks’ diet on the water. When the proposal was made, the action of the natives was praise«! as one of great devotion to their superiors, but tbe sentiment was somewhat mollified when tbe discov­ ery was made that tbe natives were quite aware that tho principal nourish­ ment lay in tbe water. Since that time Europeans in tbe ori­ ent, following tbe custom of the na­ tives, have given rice water to pa­ tients. particularly in cases of cholera, as a last resort when no other food can be retaine«l in the stomach and usually with good results. But the natives al­ ways value this water so highly that it Is never thrown away. In fact, it would surprise many cooks to discover how mueb may be done with this apparently worthless stock. If the rice Is c«x>ked in the oriental fashion—that Is. boiled only so long that each grain conies out of the pan separate and not as a sodden mass— tbe water when strained off and per­ mitted to c«sil will become a jelly ap­ proaching the «-onsistency of blanc­ mange. To suit the «xicldental palate the water should be flavored with an extract or otherwise the Jelly may have rather an Insipid taste.

The mortality among babies during the thiee teething year« is something frightful. The census of l'xiu shows that about one in every seven succumbs. The cause Is apparent. With baby's bones hardening, the fontanel (opening In tbe skull) closing up and its teeth forming, all these coming at once create a demand for bone material that nearly half the little systems are deficient In. The result Is I eevlshness, weakness, sweating, fever, diar­ rhoea, brain troubles, convulsions, etc., that prove terribly fatal. The deaths in moo under three years were 304.088, to say nothing of th«« vast number outside the big cities that were not reported, and thia In the Unit«*! States alone. When baby begins to sweat, worry or cry out in sleep don't wait, and the need is neither medicine nor narcotics What the little sjstem is crying out for is mote bone material.
