letter from Our Congressman.


Mr.. Henry Mccall of Ascension, whose
deep and active concern for the levees,
tariff and other matters affecting the vel
fare of our parish and section keeps him
in communication with every probable
source of protection to those interests. is
in receipt of the following letter from Hon.
Andrew Price, Member of Congress for
this district:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. I
Washington. D. c., March Y. 1890.
Hon. Henry Mccall:
Mu Dear SRI am in receipt Of your favor
IF March TO- and am glad to learn from it that
the leVees IN Ascension are still intact and viii
probably be kept So. You say that the United
States Government should come to the assist
ance of the Louisiana people III their struggle
with the high water.
call your attention to the fact that the Lou
lsiana members in Cong ess hare succeeded in
having $4,000 allotted to be used in main
tanning the levees upon the Mississippi river,
a part of which amount, $4,000. viii be ex-
pended under the direction oil Capt. Kingman,
u. s. Engineer. upon the levees between War;
renton. Miss. and the mouth of the river.
which includes the section of levees in Assem-
sloa and IbsrEllle, IN my Congressional Dis
triet. In addition to this $4,000, $4,000 was
allotted fer Morganza leyee alone
You have seen from the papers what has been
decided upon by the Ways and Means commit
tee concerning the sugar tariff. OF course we
will do all that we car to prevent the tariff
bill from passing, unless the sugar schedule is
amended so as to be more favorable to the
sugar industry. It is difficult to say just what
the line of fight will be, but We will do what
ever the interests of the situation seem to de-
mand.
1 would be glad to have any suggestions from
you that you might feel disposed To make, as
we are in need of all the counsel we can get.
With kind regards. / remain. as ever. your
friend, ANDREW PRICE.

CHEESE AS FOOD.

Has Been Cooked.

1t should Not he Eaten Until After IL
Has Been Cooked.
Much difference Of opinion has pre-.
vailed in regard to the value Of cheese as
food, but we are beginning TO get at real
facts with better understanding of the
relations Of the digestive functions to
food elements. Cheese has been much
Landed by many because Of tho great
amount Of nutritiye food elements it
contains, and people have been urged
indiscriminately 10 eat it freely, some
enthusiasts making the most extrava-
giant claims for IL az a health diet. But
many people who have sought to follow
this counsel find themselves speedily
the victims OF indigestion and dyspep-
STA. They would consider il little short
of treason TO charge their disordered
digestion TO the cheese but the truth is
the cheese is the most probable cause in
any such case. Although so far as its
constituents are concerned cheese is
fairly entitled to it's fame as model
food, yet in raw cheese these constitu-
ents are very difficult Of solution by the
digestive juices that is, raw cheese is
indigestible % 4 degree that makes il
unavailable as food except 70 the strong
est and healthicst stOmachs. and should
not be eaten by any one who finds on
trial that it gives his stomach the least
discomfort. 1t is found, however, that
cooking the cheese removes this diff
Guilty and makes cheese easy Of diges-
ton, and as nutritious as tender meat
and more SO. Various methods have
been adopted for this purpose, from
plain broiling frying or toasting TO the
most elaborate compound dishes. The
main point is to get the cheese cooked
so that the stomach can digest II. Good
Housekeeping.
