Gov. SEYMOUR UPON CHEESE A. FooD
In a speech made a few days ago before
the American Dairymen's Association, ex-
Governor HOrstio Seymour spoke as fol-
lows OF cheese as an article Of food:
Cheese ought to be more generally
used for iood in this country. The Ameri-
can people have lost the cheese eating
propensities OF their forefathers. Cheese
is the cheapest of all articles OF food that
can be used. Compared with meat,
there are very important economies con-
nected with it. IL required no fuel TO
prepare it. Ii is more nutritious, and we
must look upon il as substantial article
OF food. Ii is not cheap luxury it is
= cheap necessity. He hoped steps would
be taken 10 present cheese as an article
of common TODD TO the favorable con-
sideration OF the poor people of our cities
The attention OF our Government should
be called to the value Of cheese as food
for our armies. There is no article so
cheap for soldiers raiions; no article so
nutritious; no article SO easy OF trans
portation"
