It may b- well, says ;l recent issue of the I,'ondon "(.iik-cii." t,i remind readers of the great advantages offered by unpolished riep. Indeod, mine nth.-r should be perniilted fur children' 3 ibp.

Wherever growth is mr.*t active, most phosphorus is found. It enters into the composition of all cell nuclei, and is abundantly present in the bones and in the central nervous system. The development of young animate whirll are deprived of it is apt to be seriously impaired." What folly, then, is it to give to our children rice from which this wonderful phonplioru* has been deliberntely removed by polishing!
