UNPOLISHED RICE

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] may be of interest to your correspondent, re the above, to know that Japanese rice is always unpolished and infinitely superior for puddings, &c. I always get it from the Haymarket Stores cr Coopers at Liverpool. No one will ever use polished rice again after trying the. Japanese. I have been told that the nutritious part of the rice is within the outer husk, and that about ten years ago that was taken off by machinery and sold to chemists, who use it in making face powders, &c.—I am, Sir, &c., Witherley Hall, Atherstone.
