AMF RICANs
AND CHEESE.
WE NOT ONLY EAT MORE or Ir.
But WE MAKE ALL THE
FOREIGN KINDS.

Americans used to be half apollo
getic, half defiant. when they took
cheese. They had SO often been told
that II was indigestible that they
would as soon have questioned the
rule OF three. The status of cheese
Is entirely different now. Physl-
clans are declaring and the people
are believelng that cheese. 80 cat

but also more nNtritions weight for
weight. than almost any other food
a great amount OF cheese manurac-
tured in this copstry is exported TO
those places In tlsurope which have
been, and stilI are famous for their
and our product Is fully equal
To the native brands. IL is said that
Stilton cheese is made I'm this country
sent Co England. whore cloth is put
around -. and reshipped to this and
other countries as the genuine En-
glish Stilton. The cloth used puts q
peculiar print upon the cheese rind
which is supposed To Identify II.
However this may be. this country
is successfully making cheese which
were once made only i'm certain Euro
pean districts. chief among these is
the swiss cheese called Schweitzer-
kase by the Germans and Gruyere by
the French. an excellent brand Of
which is made in Ohio.
Much of the native cheese is made
in the state OF New York. II is called
simply New York cream cheese and
runs frfom the new, nearly white
and nearly tasteless cheese To the
dark yellow or dark reds. which in
flavor aud appearance resemble still
ton, Parmesan, Edam and similar
European makes To get any par
ticular kind the buyer must-except
Ii be American Swiss. Roquefort
Limburger or the like-go 20 the
shop and buy by sample Most of
the American chooses, indeed are
nameless. In Europe the call for a
certain brand of cheese always
brings the sano product.
The white cream cheeses. such as
the Neufehatel from Normandy. are
made la this country TO perfection.
For the eight months ended February
1905 the cheese exported from this
country amounted TO 7.2O2,3SS
pounds, for the corresponding period
OF 1906 II was 5.089,O96 pounds.
This falling OF is merely a coInci-
dence. and docs not indicate a les
sening OF the product, because that
industry in this country Is increas-
ing. During the last four years n
has nearly doubled. and feature Of
the situation is that Americans are
becoming great cheese eaters fact
which may. indeed. account for part
OF the falling OFF of the exports.

TUNNELS WITH
OUT ROOFS.

Nature seemed to he niggardly
with space In making the canyons
through which the Monat road pas
ses. One OF these Is Byers canyon
and the other the famous Gore can
ON. In both Of these there is merely
room for the road 10 run beside the
river bank and such space as has been
secured 10 lay the tracks has been
obtained by blasting out soil and
rock. Part OF the rock blasted from
the canyon walls has been thrown in
TO the stream so that the mountain
torrent roars along with eyer-increas-
ing fury but Is powerless To cut
away the almost solid stone embank-
ments OF the line Byers canyon and
Gore canyon are two Of the available
places for crossing the main range of
The huge mountains that lie to the
westward OF the continental divide
At either Of these points the passes
made by Nature through the noun
tains saved the Monat road many
thousands Of dollars In tunnels There
rs little choice, however, between the
boxed canyons and tunnels aside from
the difficulties Of construction The
walls rise high and straight and no
more passage for teams can be found
through the narrow deGle than if ID

crossing was made, over the whirlpool,
in August, 1860, in the presence OF the
Prince Of Wales and q gathering OF about

grand stands were erected on both sides
Of the river, and the admission fee was 81.
Doors placed at regular intervals gave

ticket-takers were several men now well
known in Chicago.
The prince, now King of England. who
was accompanied by a brilliant retinue
headed by the Duke Of Newcastle, proved
a great drawing card. Newspapers from
far and near sent their representatives to
watch not so much the performance OF the
balancist and his burden, but its effects
on the young scion of royalty, and the

Togo The Admiral. as Togo is called by

He dragged Oyama's body within the
den and stood guard. II was not a

WOMEN AND LUNCHES.
Chocolate EcIair Appetite Has Given
Way TO Beef and Potatoes.

Elpal [ie .NS" Alah -4alA
There seems 20 be a weIl-grounded
theory that the luncheon of the average
woman consists Of chocolate eclair and
a cup Of tea, with perhaps ice cream or
something equally substantial
It is about time that that ancient and
honorable theory was laid on the shelf
along with other relics OF a day when
women were supposed to be less sensible
than they are now, for one has only to
lunch a few times IN places frequented
by business women 20 realize that their
lunches are substantial and hearty.
The chocolate eclair type Of appetite has
given way to a good old roast beef sand
wich and baked potato longing. II may
be due 20 the fact that most business
women live miles from their work, eat
early breakfasts. and are really hungry
when the lunch hour comes, or II may be
that they are really becoming more sensi-
bic on the subject Of food.
At any rate, the girl who does a hard
days work on a piece Of questionable pie
and a cup of sorrOwful tea is the excep-
ton. I'm spite Of the fact that the popular
idea IS that the one who eats a substan-
tlaI luncheon is doing an unusual and
praisewoTthy thing.
At al the lunch clubs that have been
recently organized for women one is
struck by the variety Of substantial dishes
that are served AT such a low cost that
even the girl working for pitifully small
wages can get a luncheon that is nour-
ishing and appetizing as we'll
Vegetables and meats. stews and pot
pies are much more IN evidence than
sweets, and the best milk Is as easy to
obtain as are tea and coffee.
Even In the way Of soft drinks women
seem to be growing more sensible. Not
that there is any appreciabIe diminution
in the Ice cream soda business, but egg
drinks. matted milk. and brOths ali have
their place at the soft drink counters, and
are decidedly popular.
No longer can a 'woman's lunch" be re-
gaTded as a frivolous fTothy affair, and
the food cranks who worry in a theoreti-
cal way over the insufficient lunches of
the working girl will have to hunt for
trouble somewhere else.
