LIMBURCER CHEESE
STILL ON THE MENUS
American Made Product Good
and Plentiful, Say Authorities.

Washington. - EpicureanS, bon vi
wants, lobster palace habitues and all
other lovers of good living, attention.
General war or no general war in Eu-
rope, America can keep up the supply
of limburger cheese, no matter If the
allies draw and maintain an impene
trable Gordon around the fatherland
forever
The department of agriculture arises
to assure Il disheartened nation that
Uncle Sam is equal to the task, and the
fragrant product of the creamery may
remain on the bills of fare throughout
the land regardless of commerce de
stroying cruisers and the extraordinary
demands of the imperial German com
missariat.
In an official bulletin the department
has announced:
There is no reason why some of this
deficiency cannot be made good at
home if the farmers will furnish the
milk"
1t is felt that this statement will
prove at least enlightening, for it ex-
plains that limburger cheese is really
made from milk. Then the bulletin
continues:
"All American cheeses rank. in the
opinion of experts, fully as high as for
eign checSes of the same class
"One of the most striking instances
of this is limburger cheese. In quality
and price American cheese of the lin
burger type long ago drove its foreign
rival out of the market. Very little
foreign limhurger has been imported
into this country for many years.
MANY consumers have chung to the
belief that they We're eating a foreign
cheese There is no reason ut all why
they should not now know that the
American product is exactly as good as
the foreign. Moreover. now that some
of the more expensive types oe foreign
cheeSeS are not likely to reach us for
Il long time the demand for domestic
limburger should he greatly increased"
The bulletin also relates that Swiss
type checses of quality equal to the
best Of Gruyere and Sweitzer have
been made in the United States and
are sold in competition with the for
eiSn product.

HYPNOTlZED BY LIGHT,

saw the man gazing intently into the

hour later, Mr. Albright held the same
position. Telling himself that the stran-
ger was very deliberate window

But when he came by the store Il third

ing rushed, however, and they Will be
ready for issue with the least possible
delay.
when these new certificates are
ready an individual may deposit 81 900
at one time. one-half of which will
draw interest. Separate certificates will
be issued for the interest bearing and
non-interest bearing deposits. although
both may be made at the same time.
Meanwhile, Immediately after the bill
is signed and becomes law. the public
will be notified through the press, and
individuals may deposit as much as
$500 at one time or enough more than
they may now have on deposit to bring
their interest bearing account up to the
$500 limit.
while the new bill fixes the limit Of
individual accounts at $1,000 patrons
OF the system may purchase postal saw
ingS bonds with their savings every
six months. For this purpose both the
interest bearing and non-interest bear
ing deposits will be available. Postal
savings bonds pay 2la per cent BY
turning their deposits into postal saw
ings bonds every six months individ-
ual dcpositors may lay aside $1,000 a
year if they care to do so and have the
guarantee Of the government behind it
plus 21a per cent interest.
while bankers opposed the enact
ment of the original postal savings
law. they have come to realize that it
is ono of thp host thiDrS that pynr ham
pened for them. AS a rule. the money
which is deposited in this system would
not have reached the banks and would
be kept out of circulation. Now it goes
into the banks in the communities in
which it is deposited. the banks paying
! Oh per cent for its use. while the gov
eminent pays the depositors per cent.
| One reason for having $500 made non
/ interest bearing was the fact that it
has been found that the one-half per
| cent paid by the banks for redepoS-
/ its over and above > per cent paid to
depoSitors does not quite pay the oper-
