BUYING FOOD FOR TOURISTS.
Enormous Quantities of Vegetables
Imported Into Switzerland.

1t is said that the average amount ex-
pended by tourists every year while en-
joying the mountains. waterfalls and ga-
ciers of Switzerland is about 10000, 900.
The year 1898 was a remarkable season
for travelling in Switzerland and the tour
lists left behind nearly double the amount
of money that travellers usually leave in
the country. BY far the greater part of
the tourists come in excursion parties
from Western and Central Europe. They
remain only a short time, but their num-
bers are so large that the aggregate eX-
penditure is enormous.
The landlords and shopkeepers would
become very rich indeed if it were not
that they are compelled to send a great
deal of the money they receive to foreign
lands to buy the supplies which they sell
to tourists. Because mountains cover
more than half of the country Switzer-
land cannot begin to raise the enormous
quantities of food consumed by tourists.
In fact Switzerland derives less support
from its agricultural resources than ally
other country in Europe except Norway.
Only about sixth of the country can he
titled, and though the animal industries
are more important than agriculture, as
many as 10000 beef cattle, mostly from
Austria and Italy, are brought into the
country every year to make up for the
local deficiency in beef.
~ AoN itHtlldilt ueIeuuS upon lis lel1H-
horS and the United States for a great
deal Of the food it consumes. Large
quantities of wheat are imported from
this country through MarSeilles and other
ports. The latest statistics show that in
the tourist season of 1901 the amount of
vegetables brought into the country was
about 10000 tons. of which nearly two
thirds came from Germany. France and
Italy contributed most of the remainder

IS CHEESE WHOLESOME?
Some that is Considered So No Edu.
Gated Cheese Eater Would Touch.

What is the matter with cheese:
Simply this, that it has come to be an
almost universal belief that cpagulated
casein and butter fat, wkich are its con
nag process is chiefly accomplished hy
time. 1t is not considered fit 10 eat I'M
I'll it is old enough and rank enough
from the gradual process Of decomposi-
tion-to be buried.
The average palate has been gradual
~ educated to relish cheese after it has
undergone butyric acid fermenta ton and
is, in fact, putrid. This is plain English
and it flies in the face of the regning
authorities on gustatory standards. Ger
tam brands of the stuff, as Rouuefort
Llmburger and several other varieties
sell at enormous prices simply because
they represent the ideal degrea. OF rank
ncss-putridity.
This butyric fermentation has its prop
er bacillus, and i'll case OF the special
varieties present in Limburger and other
delectable brands, the characteristic odor
IS vie enough and strong enough to bar
an attempts at counterfeiting or SubSti-
tuition The flavor comporrs with the
smell, and either one would cause Il re-
spectacle canine to drop his a~toniShed
tan and sneak out of the rankest soap
factory or lanyard on the face Of The
earth.
Every normal stomach rebels at it,
dnH every FORMAL palate regulates 1t NJ
sight taste or smell. Years ago, when
all the small dairymen made little
cheese for their own use, il not for the
market, they began to cat it before it
was a fortnight old-,ate it as freely as
they did bread, and never thought Of it
beng difficult Of digestion. Nor was it.
10 put such compressed casein before
a lover of Limburger would be to offer
hlm an objectionable insult. And yet
from health standpoint. it is the only
cheese that can be approved.
OF the semi-putrid, rank smelling ana
acrd-taSting stuff now sold for cheese
many persons cannot partake with i'm
punity; and those who do eat it are
compelled to be very sparing in their in
diligence, making it a relish or eond-
ment rather than a food This is be

less than 80 miles in Kansas and less
