TO EAT POLISHED RICE
An earnest plea against the eating of polished rice by Chl- nese as an essential measure to check the ravages of beri-berl and other such diseases, was made by PROF. WINIFRED CULLIS, when she addressed a representative gathering of local women social workers at the Y. W. C. A. yesterday.
