CHEESE IN PLACE OF MEAT.

Food Value.

In view of the high price of meat it
is useful to know that a pound of
cheese is equal in food value to two
pounds of beef and is generally
cheaper.
The difficulty of digesting cheese is
lessened if it is cooked or served
broken up or grated. A small pinch of
bicarbOnate of soda is sometimes add
ed TO assist digestion.
A slight grating of cheese improves
almost any dish such as pOached eggs.

other than as Ida Lewis. She was
born at Newport, and when her father,
Capt Hosea Lewis. was made keeper
OF the light in 1854 she went to live
with him on Lime Rock point.
Miss Lewis was the eldest child, and
she speedily became proficient in
aquatic exercises. She rowed her
brothers and sisters to the mainland
every day when they were attending
school. She became an expert swim
mer and could handle a sailboat with
the best yachtsmen in the harbOr Be
fore she was 18 she had saved the
lives of four young men. all sons of
prominent Newport families. Their
boat had been capsiZed by the fool
hardness of a member of the party,
and their cries for help aroused the
daughter of the lighthouse keeper. She
jumped into her rowboat and rescued
the four with considerable difficulty.
Shortly afterwa-d her father was
stricken with paralysis, and the work
of watching the light devoIved on Ida
and her mother. She was always on
the lookout for possible wrecks. and
was ever ready to rescue those in peril
of their lives. In 1861 a sailor was
rowing across Newport harbor when
his boat sank. Miss Lewis heard his
cries and brought him safely ashore.
During the winter of 1868, while a
blizzard was raging. two troopers who
had been TO Newport were being rowed
back to Fort Adams. When a short
distance from the Lime Rock light
their boat capsized. Miss Lewis hur-
ried to the rescue and managed to pull
the benumbed bodies into the boat.
The bOatman was lost. After return
ing to the lighthouse Miss Lewis was
compelled to work for an hour over
the PROSTATE forms of the two soldiers
before she was able to bring them
back to consciousness. The men at
Fort Adams made up a purse for her
because of her bravery.
In all, five troopers from the fort
owed their lives to the Grace Darling
Of America. Night after night she
trimmed the light and kept it burning.
The rescues were but incidents to her,
but during her career she has saved Is
lives from the sea,
In 1879 she was made custodian of
the Lime Rock light for life and in
1881 Secretary OF the Treasury William
Window awarded her the gold life-sav-
ing medal When Gen. Sherman ap-
pointed her as keeper he said This
appointment is conferred upon you as
a mark of my appreciation of your
noble and heroic efforts in saving life"
In 1887 she received a silver medal
from the Massachusetts Humane soci-
ETY. for saving a soldier, and the New
York Life Saving association also gave
her a medal. Her rooms in the light
house are filled with tokens of appreci-
alton from all classes, and she has
been visited in her rock-bound home
by Gen. Grant, Gen. Sherman and Ad-
miFal Dewey. She is in splendid health
and her eye is as clear as it was 80
years ago. She has one of the distin-
gushing marks Of a true herOine-she
dislikes to talk about her rescues.
