WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTOVER
BITS OF CHEESE

Cheese Is such a valuable food and Is
SO particularly good in combination
with starchy foods. and those lacking
fats and flavor. that it should be found
more often upon our tables.
When buying cheese 1t is best not
to get it in too large quantities. as it
drys and molds. To keep it from mold
ing. wrap 1t In cloth wrung out OF
vinegar. Crate all the small pieces
before they get too dry and keep them
In jar with a tight cover.
In cooking cheese 1t is well to re-
member that overheating it makes II
indigestible. When possible, add the
cheese to a hot dish only long enough
to melt 1t. A tablespoonful of cheese
will flavor a dish, and not even scrap
should be thrown away.
Butter crackers and sprinkle with
grated cheese and dash Of cayenne.
place In a hot oven and serve when
the cheese is melted.
Cheese Shell Filled With Cabbage.
Boil until tender a small head of
young cabbage Drain, chop and sea-
son we'll. There should be about two
cupfuls. Put it In an empty edam or
pineapple cheese shell. in alternate
layers, with one cup of white sauce.

Cheese Macaroons--Spread Maca'
rooms together with any tart jelly and
press together with a layer Of snappy
cheese between.
Cream Cheese Crackers.-Take un-
sweetened crackers. If not crisp set
them in the oven for a few moments
Spreak with plum or currant jelly and
drop a teaspoonful of cream cheese In
the center of each cracker.
Cheese Balls.-Add a dash Of ia
basco sauce to cream cheeue. pinch
Of salt. paprika to make 1t pink, and
cream to make a paste. Form into
balls and roll in finely chopped black
walnuts. Serve on lettuce with French
dressing.

Writes Verse in Jail

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The fol-
lowing poem was composed by KID
Mccoy in BriXton jail while he was
waiting for exuadition proceed
ings:
Kindness seeds are sown by deeds,
Cultured by loves affection.
Natures arm protects from harm
All those who need protection.
Loves bright charm allays all alarm
And strengthens the will of the
mind,
So when in doubt turn things about
And view them from behind.
Let reasons bright light
Guide desire and appetite,
Should happiness be your goal.
Don't scatter to the wind
The thoughts of the mind,
They that come from your soul
The. poem was not made public
until Mccoy was safely outside the
jurisdiction of the British author
