MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY. .TUNTE 10, 1932. PAGE FIVE Rice an Economic Item Attractive in Any Home By the Bureau of Home Economics, V. 8. Department of Agriculture. When a certain Captain Smith, re turning from Madagasce In 1694, : presented a bag of "paddy" to a mer- , chant In Charleston. 8. C he pro- j Tided the future United States with one of our favorite and cheapest j foods. . "Paddy" la rough rice, and rtoe la one of the cereal which, com bined with milk, are recommended by the Bureau of Home Economics of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture as the basis of the most economical balanced diet that can be devised. It la also one of the Important cereal crops of our Southern States; It sells on the retail market In bulk for 3 to S cents a pound; and a pound of rice, after cooking, makes more than 10 servings of a cupful each. A bowl of rice, with gravy, la the mainstay of many a southern meal. Rice Is first of all an energy food, containing, like all other grains, a high percentage of starch. It can play an attractive part In any meal, whether as a cooked cereal at break fast, In soup or with meat gravy and vegetables at dinner, or to make a dinner or supper dessert. Bice Is also a good "food extender' taking the flavor of other foods readily, and therefore good aa a stuffing and use ful In mixtures with meat, vegetables of fruits. Rice cooked In milk, or In a mixture of half mlk and half water, makes a creamy dish of high food value which may be served with or without fruits aa a breakfast ce real, or as a dessert with sugar, fla voring, spices, fruits or chopped nuts. If cooked until fairly sort, It may be molded and served attractively wlt& preserved or fresh fruits. There are many varieties of rice, and any cook would have reason to rejoice If the dealers would sell those varieties unmixed and labeled as to grade. So says Miss Mabel Stelnbar ger, associate specialist In foods In the Bureau of Home Economics, who has made a special study of the va rious kinds and grades of rice. The cooking qualities, especially as to the cooking time, vary with the kind of rice, and a mixture of rices of differ ent kinds will cook unevenly. Bice broken in milling is sold as "broken rice" or "brewers' rice." Though less attractive looking, it has all the food value of whole rice, and It sells for less. Broken rice where available, and all the cheaper grades, can well be used in any dish except boiled rice, where the grains should stand apart. White, polished rice is the most fa miliar form on the market, and ordi narily Is the cheapest In stock. Brown rice, however, has higher food value because it is. unpolished, and therefore still has the outer coat of the grain, w.hlch contains most of the mineral, much of the protein, and practically all of the vitamin values of rice. In oriental countries, where rice Is the principal food, the deficiency disease known as beriberi Is common among people who de pend upon the polished rice, but does not occur where brown rice Is used, because the outer coat contains vitamin B. Brown rice Is sold in packages In many grocery stores, and at some food stores It Is sold In bulk. "Bice polish In gs," 1. e., a fine powder which results from polishing toe rice grain, can be had at the rice mill, and they are a desirable addition to wheat flour and corn meal because the rice polishing contain the minerals, and vitamin B, which were removed from the grain in the milling. Boiling, according to Miss Steln harger, though the simplest method of cooking rice, is one of the most trying tests of Its cooking quality. In boiled rice the grains should be white or creamy, tender yet unbroken, and should stand apart. This Is accom plished by boiling the rice gently In an excess of water (2 quarts of salted water to a cup of rice) until the grains are tender, draining and pour ing water over them to remove any starch which may cling to them. In some sections of the country, min erals In the water may cause rice to become grayish or greenish In color when boiled, but a pinch of cream of tartar in tAe cooking water will pre vent this. Brown rice should be boiled in the same manner as white rice, ex cept after boiling gently about 30 minutes it should be covered and al lowed to simmer until the rice Is cooked through and the water is absorbed.

What she wanted to know was when bankers were going to look upon motion picture films as se curity. "It seems to me." she told the women, "that there Is a lack of understanding between bankers and motion picture producers a lack of recognition on the part of the banker of the value of a finished film.
