IS CHEESE WHOLESOME?

Some that 10 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 coagulated
casein and butter fat, which are its con-
stituents. must be ''cured." The ''cur-
| ing" process is chiefly accomplished by
time. 1t is not considered fit to eat un-
| til it is old enough and rank enough
from the gradual process OF decomposi-
| tion-to be buried.
The average palate has been gradual
| ly educated to relish cheese after it has
undergone butyric acid fermentation, and
is, in fact, putrid. This is plain English
and it flies in the face of the rcigning
| authorities on gustatory standards. Ger
| tain brands of the stuff, as Roqucfort,
Limburger and several other varieties,
sell at enormous prices simply because
they represent the ideal degree Of rank
| ncSs-putridity.
This butyric fermentation has it's prop
varieties present in Limburger and other
delectable brands, the characteristic odor
is vile enough and strong enough to bar
all attempts at cOunterfeiting or substi-
tuition. The favor comports with the
smell. and either one would cause re-
SpectdDle canine TO drop MS aStOnlShcu
tail and sneak out of the rankcst soap
factory OF lanyard Oh the face of the
earth.
Every normal stomach rebels at it.
and every normal palate rcpudiatcs it al
sight: taste or smell. Years ago. when
all the small dairymen made a little
cheese for their own use, if not for the
market, they began to eat it before it
was a fortnight old-ate it as freely as
they did bread, and never thought of it
being difficult of digestion. Nor was it.
10 put such compressed casein before
a lover of Limburger would be to offer
him an objectionable insult. And yet,
from health standpoint, it is the only
cheese that can be approved.
Of the .semi-putrid, rank-smelling and
acrld-tasting stuff now sold for cheese
many persons cannot partake with inn
punity.: and those who do cat it are
compelled to be very sparing in their in
dulgence, making it relish or condi-
ment rather than food This is be-
cause it belongs with embalmed beef"
moldy bread and "gangrenous game"
for which Dalled palates either possess
or profess gusto.-Dietetic Magazine.

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-
Joylng the mountains, waterfalls and gla-
clers Of Switzerland is about $40, O00, 600.
The year 1893 was a remarkable season
for travelling in Switzerland and the tour
lists left behind nearl y 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-
pendlture is enormous.
The landlords and shopkeepers would
that they are compelled to send q great
deal OF the money they receive to foreign
Lands to buy the supplies which they sell
10 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 tact switzerland derives less support
from its agricultural resources than any
other country in Europe except Norway.
Only about sixth Of the country can be
titled, and though the animal industries
are more important than agriculture, as
many as $1,000 beef cattle, mostly from
Austria and Italy, are brought into the
country every year to make up for the
local deficiency in beef.
so Switzerland depends upon it's neigh
bors 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.
I The Swiss governments not satisfied
with the comparatively small return made
by the fields and gardens Of the. country
They are endeavoring now to stimulate
greater attention to agriculture and gar
dening. They say it is unfortunate for
the republic to spend so much Of the
money received from tourists in buying
food with which, to feed them. They es-
peclally ask that the area devoted to veg
etables be largely increased in order to
reduce the great amount of imports which
