Brown and White Rice
Brown rice Is unpolished rice. The
husk has been removed, but most or
the brnn and germ have been retained.
For this reason unpolished or "brown"
rice has a rlcb vitamin B and mineral
content.
White rice, which is always pol'shed
rice, has lost both the germ an.l the
bran layer and the grain is made ligut
er in color. Polished rice, according
to one authority on foods, "is poorer
In protein, mineral elements and fat
than any other of the cereal grains."
Fractional Voting
It sometimes happeus that a politi
cal party desires to honor more of its
members by appointment as delegates
to the national conventions than the
Quota alloted to a state covers. In
such cases It Is frequently arranged
that two and sometimes more individ
uals are sent as delegates, each hav
ing a half or other part vote as the
case may be. Where uninstructed del
egates are sent, these fractions of
votes are added in th? final taboUtto0
of the votes.
