5H sS1s Cheese as a Food

Cheese contains all the essentials ot human food, according to a pamphlet recently issued by the department of agriculture. The popular belief that cheese. even. when green or unripened, is difficult of digestion, or that unripened cheese, or cheese in any stage of ripen-
 ing is constipating is not justified. The milk solids in cheese are very idigestible and make an almost perfect food. With tie addition of rennet and the develop ment of tactic acid in cheese making, some chemical changes take place; but these do not transform digestible solids in milk into indigestible solids in cheese. The digestive disturbances attributed to pecullarities in the cheese itself are prob ably due merely to over eating, or to the custom of eating cheese only at the close of the meal. when one has already had more than enough food.
 \ Skim milk cheese, when sold as whole milk product, is fraud that is a posi- tire injury to the dairy business: but skim milk cheese. stated and sold as such. is entitled to consideration by both producer and consumer 1t is digestible and has food value: made to 'liave an a sreeable taste it could be sold cheaplv to poor people Cottage cheese is an other cheap and palats ble product, muea o' which could be added to tic dietary sf Q ereat saving in the total cosf "s

and constantly at hand as a flaVorinS. quite as we use pepper and salt. The
 Swiss eat largely of cheese which preao forms the greater part of the dietary or this very healthy people; and those Swiss fai mers who have settled in Wisconsin continue to manifest the athletic attai.s-
 inents and the physical endurance of their forbears. The sensible Germans consume large quantities of the cheap,
 but highly favored skim milk cheese.
 Such cheeses are wholesome, and their flavors are by reason of benefieent nllc- roorganisms. The consumption or cheese by the American people should be in- creased from the viewpoint both of economy and it's superior food value, ac- cording to The Journal of the American Medical association. A pound or cheese has nearly the same food value as two pounds of lean meat or eggs, or the same weight of ham. Not only is it superior in food value but also 1t furnishes nitro
 gen without the increase of uric acid in
 the system. For this reason it may be eaten by those inclined to gouty affec- lions to whom meat is denied.

SOME OLD MELODIES
By ANGUS \. AGREE

Why is the old melody almost forgot ten? The old songs that mothers have c,oored to their babes; the lullabys she sung to soothe them and help them off into a restful, child like sleep. Why are they forgotten?
 Occasionally when one is ground a home where the people are still "old fashioned" and may the saints bless them) is heard the sweet old strains of
 Max Weltons braes are bonny
 Where early falls the dew pealing from a still old fashioned organ, Or mayhap from a piano. What is sweet CT? What is there to make man want to stay there forever, more than the sweet old Annie Laurie?
 There is music and real music. too, in that sweet old Scottish melody, which all the ropulsr airs have and can never supplant.
 To a cultured musician classics hath their charm, but to them only, for it takes a huge imagination for one not versed in music to understand and ap- Ireciate the intrieacies and the beauty Of sucl, music.

That hope is one among the sweet

to each soul. The little word hope
is sweet to an inmate of an institu-
ton of this kind, for without hope in
the breast of us surrounded by pris-

spair. It is that little spark of hope
in each one that keeps us looking for
some sweet day. and also keeps us
trusting in Him who is able and
willing to keep us against that day.

During a recent interview with j.
A. O., senior member of the firm
of 0. & o., bookbind ers, we
learned that Otto, the great bird
fancier, promises to rival Bur-
bank in the propagation of new
breeds. He has new species,
about the size of canary, with a
rich royal purple plumage, and the
strangest thing abont it is, that it
only sings at night, so Otto says.
Otto is certainly either a fake, or an

One of the most pleasant surprises
to which the local chapel attendants
have been treated for some time,
was afforded on Sunday morning
last when Rev. G. E. Benson, the
chaplain, secured the services of a
choir, consisting Of about forty
young men and women. members of
the Swedish Bethany Church of
Minneapolis, to sing for us at the
regular morning service. Although
it was not known before hand that
any preparation had been made for
the entertainment of the inmates an
unusually large crowd was in attend
ance
Upon being introduced by the
Chaplain, the Choir favored the con-
gregation with a well-rendered sell
ection which was greatly appreciated
by all present. This was followed by
prayer, by the chaplain, and pleas
ing number by the Orchestra. after
which we were again afforded the
pleasure of listening to another de-
lightfully rendered selection by the
Choir.
The concluding number on the
program consisted of that touching
~ beautiful hymn. Where is My
Wandering Boy Tonight p sung in
the clear, sweet soprano voice Of a
young lady member, assisted by the
remainder of the Choir. tits doubt
full if there ever was hymn writ
ten, more dear to the heart of every
prisoner, than is this one, which de-
picts SO beautifully and impressively
the tender lover Of a mother; her
heart breaking anguish caused by
the boy she loves having strayed out
into the world of sin; and the pray
ers of forgiveness she daily offers
for his guidance and protection. 1t
is some time since those detained
here have had the pleasure of hear
ing this beautiful hymn so well rem
dered and no doubt the thoughts OF
many went back to where a mother
| waits their return with heart full
of love and forgiveness.
At the conclusion of the service,
Rev. Benson thanked the members
of the Choir for having so kindly
favored us, and expressed the hope
that we may soon have the pleasure
of hearing them again, which hope
was no doubt shared by all those
present Young Steady.
