bothers the digestion of some, but the
melting or cooking Of it does away
with this trouble, and there are many
who believe that the merits OF cheese
are all on the side of ease Of Digestion
and that is one reason why 1t mas al
ways remained the last dish OF the
dinner.
In the old days when heavy feeding
and many bottles of port were dinner
fashions, the dish of cheese was OF I'M
mense Importance It was not a NOR
sci then as it is now to give zest to-
the meal. Huge cheeses were brought
whole to the banquet board and were
carved and served with great -four
sh. Big Stilton cheeses were scooped
out and filled with champagne for spe-
cia1 occasions, and many mixtures
were made of the softer creams with
butter and wine, forming q paste to
spread on crackers.
Toasted cheese is q great English
delicacy, but for some reason 1t is not
much In favor in this country except
In the rabbit" The old London tav-
ern on Fleet street, the Cheshire
cheese, got its name from the excel
lence of it's toasted cheese. A handy
way to cook cheese in the manner
called toasted is to chop or CRATE
quantity of 1.-THE mild American
cream is best-and then spread it neat
ly on Saline crackers. Place them
side by side on fiat pan and put them
In under the broiler long enough to
melt the cheese. With drop Of Wor-
cestershire these are very dainty and
appetizing.
The ordinary rabbit made with melt
ed cheese blended with ale or beer
and poured over buttered toast salts
f1es most people, but there are var1a-
tons. One way is to boil large onions,
chop them and mix them with butter,
cream, salt, mustard and small cup
Of grated cheese. This can be poured
over toast or crackers.
Broiled sardines also mix nicely In q
rabbit. They are placed on the toast,
skinned and boned, and the cheese Is
poured over them.
A Mexican way is to use tomatoes.
Break UP half cupful of American
cream cheese and rub it to a paste
with butter, mixed mustard, a little
cream and tabasco sauce. Stir this as
it melts and have this sauce ready aS

of the discussion, since the man dis
cussed was certainly his patron, may
be his friend. But his insistence had
reused a certain balky wilfulness that
would have it's way. "It's true I've
never seen him." she said, "but I've
read about him hundred times in the

of his brown hair, but he did not

slowly ebbed, leaving him pale. He
has been an idler-that's true enough
and till a week ago he was fdiotic-
ally rich But his idling Is over now.
At this moment, except for this one
property, he is little better than a

She had taken hasty step or two
back from him, and her eyes were now
fixed on his with a dawning half-fear-
full question IN them.

Chinese Soldiers Are Good Fighters.
Till within the last two years or so,
the general impression was that the
Chinese soldier was intended to ran
away. The revolution of 1911 dis
sipated some OF this absurdity. The
events of the present year have dis
persed the remainder. It is now
recognized that there Is no finer mate
rial than that which could be selected
from among the sturdier OF China's
sons. Nothing is wanted but training,
arms of precision, good leading and q
good cause. With these, China could
well hold its own. The improvements
that have been made during recent
years in such things can be appre.
