At the conclusion OF the experiments
Secretary Wilson will issue bulletin
explaining how to prepare a rarebit ac-
cording TO the official government for
mula-with beer or without. He and his
experts are confident the information
will be received with joy by the country.
The Department of Agriculture has
conducted many strange tests. with its
poison squad and other volunteer sub
jects, but even its own experts admit that
there never has been anything quite so
remarkable or complete as the cheese

The cheese tests have been going on
for a year, but the experts kept the
secret well. 1t has just become known.
now that the official Welsh rarebit re-
port is in preparation. that volunteer
subjects have been boxed UP and fed on
cheese for days at a time-Ameriean
cheese, English cheese. new cheese and
old cheese. fragrant cheese and smelly
cheese-and that one subject lived on
bread and cheese alone for more than "a
year and suffered no i'll effects.
Moreover. the experts are convinced,
although the actual experiments with
! cooked cheese are only about to begin,
that what has been proved true of the
raw product is equally true Of the rare

Shirtwaist Ironing.

From the Detroit Tribune
1t is difficult to iron between the but
tons on the shirt without breaking them
loose or leaving a puckered edge. A good
plan is to have very thick, narrow pad
of flannel or canton flannel to slip under
the right side for the buttons TO sink
into while you iron the wrong side, then
run the iron along the outside edge on
the right side.

At one END stands the huge electric

which comes the tremendous force that
generates the heat. About the walls
