Food vaIue of Cheese.

1t is said that one pound of cheese
Is equal in food value to more than two
pounds of meat 1t is very rich in pro-
teids and fat. Considering this, it is
low In price when compared with meat
and ought to do good service to the
poor man in replacing occasionally the
regular diet of meat. In America cheese
Is looked upon more as side dish and
luxury than in some parts of Europe.
The Swiss peasant depends on it as a
staple secopd only to bread. while the
use of it in England and Germany is
extensive.

the greatest abundance all through the
winter, and they are as large and rich
and velvety as American Beauties, liv-
ing out of doors, climbing like ivy or
honeysuckle over the crumbling marble
walls of ruined temples, cleaning In
crimson and green masses upon an
cient columns, giving to the grimmest
and saddest of mediaeval palazzos an
air Of gayety and youth.

for centuries watered our roses thrice

porto Riean Citizcnshin.

President Roosevelt, in his progress
through our exterior dominions, bestows
upon our insular subjects such blessings
as he may. To the Porto Ricans. who
have this long time stood betwixt and be-
tween in their relations with us. he
promises the rights. privileges, and glorios
of citizenship in the great republic
when they can get them. That is to say,
the President viii ask the attention of
Congress to the matter. and Congress,
we suppose, viii do nothing. Legislation
for the benefit Of Porto Rico is the sort
that can wait
Under Spanish rule Porto Rico was a
well-behaved and fairly prosperous colony
with a certain measure OF autonomy.
When the United States took possession,
all that was changed We imposed upon
them form of government without prec-
edeHt in our history. An alien governor
was sent among them. A colonial legis-
lature was established. but without power

composed the majority. Legislative acts
were subject 70 the veto Of the President
and to review by Congress. Our high
tariffs interpoSed between the island and
the American market. Trade languished
and agriculture all but perIshed.
Or recent years a great improvement
has been wrought in the domestic affairs
of our West Indian colony. Under better
administration agriculture and commerce
have revived, the health OF the people
has been improved by sanitary measures,
and an excellent system of education has
been established. We hear no longer of
threatening discomfort with American
rule. But 10 his mother counTy-perhaps

moral and financial status He may wish

naturalized if he wishes to be one Of Us.
His representative in the American Con-
gress. even, is not a citizen Of the United
States.
No wonder citizenship has a real mean

the President has promised 10 use his in

ARCHERY COMING IN FAVOR.
To he One of the FavOrite sports at
Southern winter Resorts.

/ From the New Orleans Picayune.
Way down South in Dixie it's the win
ter tourists that they cultivate now. and
sinmon seeds and sandy bottoms" are
not heard about. At the resorts from
I Virginia to Tampa the hotels and country
clubs-often meaning the same thing-are
preparing now for the midwinter rush.
Golf, lawn tennis, and polo are old and
standard now; trap shooting at clay birds
has been advancing in favor for two
years. and archery Is quite new.
Here and there the twang Of the bow
strings struck the ear last winter, at
tracing the eye to groups Of fannel-elad
archers facing the padded and striped
targets. This season the old sport is ex-
pected to be one of the routine Occupa-
tions Of a sojourn among the palms and
pines.

archery in England by the Toxophilite
Society in 17S1. but the game the bowmen

The National Archery Association came
into being at Charlottesville. ind. in 1879,
and it has since held an unbrOken series
OF tournaments. The membership is not

The compilation by the Census Bureau
Of the wealth statistics Of the United
States. with the details 10y States. as well
as the figures of the grand aggregate.
presents fer all and each "a splendid in
spiration Of national and of state pride
The progress and prosperity of the
United States as compared 10 other cOun-
tries are familiar themes Of universal
comment: but there is a striking feature
Of this progress whose significance the
alien world may scarcely understand and
which is but meagerly appreciated even
by our own people. II Is in what has
been achieved in that part Of the re-
public which. in the trials Of the nation
has suffered the heaviest burdens Of its
vicissitudes. That part is what we call
the South.
Let us take the eleven Southern States
which seeded in 1S6O-61-Virginia. North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, louisiana, and Texas
Contemplate what they have accom-
plished since 1870, five years after the
civil war. and see how they have tri-
umphed over a long. all-embracing train
OF adyersities. 1t is an advancement over
obstacles with no visible parallel in the
history Of any people in any land.
When these eleven Southern States
emerged from the war, one billion and a
half of wealth in slaves had disappeared.
More than seven hundred millions Of other
property had been swept away, And they
were to enter upon a long. dark period of
debt amid desolation. The process Of re-
eovery was necessarily long drawn out
and painful. The saddest hour for South
err pride was Appomattox, but the star OF
Southern manhood was brightest when
their most beloved leader. Robert T. Lee.

Southern States in 1850 was S5.l5l, ,S65, O95.
IN 1S70-five years after the close of the
war-their aggregate wealth was but
$3.50 6l6,OO0 The figures for 1870 were

Quoting One-fifth, as the stausticians do.

Of the question to have been reached only

The figures of the Census Bureau show
that the increase Of the wealth of the
eleven secession States from 1870 to 1904
was, in round numbers, $10.32o. 000.0g0
The increase in wealth of the eleven
secession States in four years-from 1900
