AVE heard those words of wisdom eat the food indigenous to the country-?

The Chinese make rice their staple food and seem to get a lot of fun out of it. And, believe me, its a sturdy background for making so many savoury dishes at a com- paratively low cost. As a food it abounds in energy and fuel, and you have the basis for endless com- binations. No work in prepara- tion, no waste, and instead of shrinking with cooking it swells up to two or three times its volume.

The blending of flavours in the cheese-peanut loaf is most intrigu- ing, and the rice and tomato 'cro- quettes, served with a vegetable soup, a green vegetable salad, and

sturdy dessert, like apple dumplings, will see you through.

Here are the details:

Meatless Rice Loaf.

1 cup cooked rice

1 egg

2 tablespoons chopped onion

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup crushed peanuts

1 cup college cheese

1 tablespoon fat

1⁄2 teaspoon pepper

Mix all ingredients well and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) in a loaf pan, for about: 30 minutes. Six servings. Serve -plain, or with tomato, or cream sauce. A thin sauce with a little grated cheese would be good.

Wash rice and steam it in stock until all is absorbed (water with a bouillon cube will do, or the same amount of canned consomme diluted) Cook tomatoes for 20 minutes with vegetables and ses- sonings.

-And For Breakfast Shredded wheat and crisp rice and corn flakes will have a new zest if alternated with hot rice-an excellent cereal variation. Serve with cream and white or maple sugar; or with stewed fruits with plenty of juice. Rice cakes per- form the same service for flapjacks and waffles and have a delightful crispness and flavour of their own.

-And A. Rich Relation Men still order cold rice pudding with raisins when they are away. from home and can have whatever they want. But here is

one glamorous variation:

2 cups, boiled rice

1 cup pineapple

1 cup heavy cream

Heeping Fit

of modern life -practically every woman should do some exercises every day. Adapted carefully to individual require- ments. they help to develop a clear and healthful skin, poise and grace of movement. also teach us perfect relaxation.

-the secret of a long youth.

Life is a much more vital thing when you are fit; and health is the greatest beautifier in the world.

If you ever feel tired and nervy and listless, make up your mind to spare 10 minutes at night for special exercises, and so face the. challenge the day's work in health.

But remember, it is through physical rhythm that the body learns poise and repose; so what- ever exercise you are doing, avoid over-exertion. And if, after a few days, you do not enjoy your exer- cises, you can be sure they are not doing you any good. Your breath- ing must come easily, deep and untroubled; for you cannot relax feeling puffed and exhausted.

Try beginning with. this one: Lie flat on your, baek, both arms stretched above your head.

Lift the arms slowly until they are slop- ed backwards at full stretch, breathing deeply at the same time. Drop the arms, and slowly release the breath. Stretch the legs in the same way, being careful not to raise them too high. and paying great attention to the breathing. Repeat these two movements alter- nately seven times, and then rest. If you are overtired, this will make you sleep..
