Canadian Cheese In Great Britain.

Canadian cheese is apparently TAX
Ing ve,y high place In the market
of Great Britain. Il long ago drove
out American cheese. which had oh
tanned n bad name from the amount
OF hlled cheese that was sent from
this country under the Vame OF full
cream cheese. Last year canada sup
piled 6S per cent OF all the cheese
used In Great Britain. the money re.
ceived from Canadians from this
source being over s2i 100000. So
much for honesty in a manufactured
product Legislation has much TO DO
with the success OF the business OF a
country, as is seen In the case IN
hand. When Americans were dehat
ing whether II was right TO prohibit,
the making OF filled cheese. Canada
had already passed a law prohibiting
the manufacture OF a pound OF that
kind OF cheese for any purpose. Some
men said that II was tyrannlcal. but
others said II was good business fore
sight The money that has rolled into
Canada since that time on account
OF It's good cheese has proved that
the legi latiOn was the hest kind of
business policy. After that time
the Uaited States passed n law max
