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.

Mary Pickford as Hollywood knows

talked today to the women attending
the American Institute of Banking
convention here,, but had little to
say about woman's place In bual

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. A film, If It Is a good film,
ought to be as good security for ft
loan as flour or ateel or sugar."

Why
Hills Bros Coffee
IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL
COFFEE TO BUY
If you are sincerely interested in quality
and economy, you will read these facts
about the largest selling brand of coffee
between the Pacific Coast and Chicago.
Millions, who are as careful about their house
hold budgets as they are about the goodness of
the coffee they buy, have mude the discovery
that Hills Bros. Coffee is the most economical.
That is one reason why more people, from
Chicago to the Pacific, buy more Hills Bros.
Coffee than any other brand.
They know that the quality of coffee deter
mines the flavor. They know that the strength
of coffee determines the number of good cups
you can make. Flavor without strength is ex
pensive. Strength without flavor is unsatisfy
ing. Only the highest quality selected coffees are
used at the Hills Bros, plant. These coffees
plus perfect roasting, grinding and packing,
give Hills Bros. Coffee its full-bodied strength
and rich, delicious flavor.
Why Hills Bros. Coffee goes further
Till , abundance of flavor is the reason Hills
Bros. Coffee goes further. It is why Hills Bros,
offers the greatest value. Indeed, Hills Bros.
Coffee gives you such unusual goodness that
your first cup Is a notable and remembered
occasion.
The U. S. Customs Districts records of
coffee Imports offer substantial
proof of the unusual quality
found in Hills Bros. Coffee. These
records show that the per pound
value of coffee received in the
San Francisco Customs District
in 1931 was 30 per cent higher
than New York's importations
and 50 per cent higher than New
Orleans'. Hills Bros.' plant is
located in San Francisco. The
enormous quantities of high
grade coffee used by Hills Bros,
are responsible for the quality
showing of this port in the United
States records.
The high quality and flavor
of Hills Bros. Coffee
account for its popularity
throughout major area of
United Stales
Bark in the eighties, A. II. and
R. W. Hills paved the way for
their product to become the most popular
coffee from the Pacific Coast to Chicago. They
. concluded that a worth-while coffee business
could be built only by selling the finest quality
of coffee. For fifty-four years, the attention of
every individual in the Hills Bros, organiza
tion has been centered on the production of
quality.
Quality in coffee cannot be seen with the
eye nor measured in the laboratory. It can be
determined only by tasting and smellinghow
it tastes in the cup. Seven men devote their en
tire time to the blending of Hills Bros. Coffee.
None of these men has less than nine years
of experience ; one has been blending and test
ing coffee for fifty-four years. The buying of
good green coffees is not the whole story.
These testers know how to take the finest of
green coffees from every country of the world
that grows good coffee and blend them into
one harmonious whole, and secure the same
result year In, year out.
Hills Bros, took the guess out of
roasting their coffee
It is interesting that almost every step In
if ill?!
- "-- -
the coffee business seems of equal Importance. .
First, to market good coffee, you must buy
high-grade green coffee. And even though the
green coffees are good, they must be properly
blended. Yet, the finest blend cannot be devel
oped to full flavor by poor roasting.
Hie common method of roasting coffee is
in batches of several hundred pounds, but
Hills Bros, roast in small quantities by their
exclusive process "Controlled Roasting".
It is precise. Every berry receives the same
even roast just the roast required to develop
the delightful goodness that nature makes pos
sible. The process never varies, neither doe
the flavor. People who appreciate the same
fine flavor in their coffee, meal after meal, con
tinually praise this feature of Hills Bros.
Coffee.
Quality insured and safeguarded by
grinding and packing
Through scientific tests, Hills Bros, have
determined the degree of granulation that will
give the most satisfactory results in making
coffee. The grinding Is done by machines
which, like Controlled Roasting, embody cer
tain exclusive principles developed by Hill
Bros. If you make coffee In Drip Pot, Per.
colater, Urn, or even in a saucepan, the granu
lation of Hills Bros. Coffee will give perfect
results.
In July, 1900, Hills Bros, originated the
vacuum process of packing coffee. The vac
uum process is the only method that fully pre
serves coffee freshness the air is removed
from the can and kept out. And remember,
there is no magic about a vacuum
can, it will not make poor coffee
good but it will keep good coffee
fresh.
A month's trial will be a
revelation in value received
Drink Hills Bros. Coffee I
Every steaming, fragrant cup will
be thrill to your taste. You will ,
enjoy a flavor and satisfaction
such as you never dreamed of.
Compared with Hills Bros.' flavor
and quality, any other coffee
would cost you more.
