Nuts and cheese both have great
food value. They also have the advan-
tage of being liked by almost every
one. young and old, and give greater
variety in our menus. Some one has
said, THE tendency of the housekeep-

that ruts, whether for carriages. auto

Both of the mentioned foods have

the world, so it does seem as though
the alLwise Providence planned that
they should be used for food, from the
inexpensive peanut to the higher pric-
ed ones. Cheese, like nuts, has the
reputation of being hard to digest.
There are two reasons for this: they
are either eaten when no more food is
needed, or not properly masticated.

What's the User

Every passing dollar,
Holding 1t so very tight
That the bird must holler?

This is a matter not only for the peo-
pie OF Carnarvon but for the people
OF Wales as whole. and It also, one
may suggest, touches the throne. for
the magnificent ceremony ofslast July
brought the king and queen and the
prince of Wales into closer, touch with
the Welsh. Many suggestions as to
the future of the castle are afioat.
In local circle 1t Is now stated TO be
certain that the office of works is con-
templating further extensive altera-
tions at the castle, and that the
schemes are of SO comprehensive a
character that many years win be re-
quired to complete them. On the
other hand. the Carnarvon town coun-
ell have submitted plan involving
among other things the re-erection of
the old banqueting hall inside the cas-

in 1894 the Royal pavilion, where was
held the luncheon attended by King
Edward and Queen Alexandra, then
prince and princess of Wales, on the
occasion of their visit to the National
Eisteddfod In the town.
1t Is doubtful, indeed, II either of
these scheme will be carried out.
Great structural alterations to historic
buildings are against the spirit of the
age. which in regard to them seeks
rather to preserve than to restore.
Carnarvon castle In the past has suf-
fered much from well-meant but mis-
guided efforts In this direction, found.
ed mainly on ignorance OF the real
history OF the edifice. The delusion,
slain many times, still persists that
Edward H.. the first prince OF Wales,
was born in the castle. regardless OF
the fact that the Eagle tower, where
the interesting event is supposed to
have taken place, was not rooted In
until he had been nine years on the
throne.
Little anachronisms Of this kind
have counted nothing to the thousands
of tourists who have been conducted
through dark corridors to the passage
chamber in the Eagle tower and look.
ed on the gayly painted window with
the prince of Wales feathers depicted
thereon. Could any further proof be
needed? In the last half century bat
Elements and other pieces were added
to the walls, but In few cases were
they In keeping with the castle as II
originally appeared. Competent au
thorities of today look with misgiv
ing on these restorations-restora
tions carried out In York stone and
not local stone-and wonder why bat
Elements were erected where no bat
Elements had ever been in the f1ghtina
days of the old fortress, and whether
1t would not now be advisable to re-
move them.
Perhaps this task will recommend
itself to the notion of Mr.. Trowbridge
of the office Of works. who had charge
of the structural alterations preceding
the investiture, and Is even now In
charge at Carnarvon, where he has
taken house on a long lease. The

necessary to keep the castle in proper
repair, but the question has yet to be
answered whether the old fortress,
