Every housekeeper should know
something of the nutritive value of
cheese and the many ways of prePar-
ing it into delicious dishes for the
table. AS there are more than 200
varieties of cheese we can hardly take
up all in this article, but will have to
hold closely to the American cheese
for our cooking dishes, which is of the
cheddar type, but a softer, milder
favored cheese than that desired by
our neighbors across the ocean.
Casein. fats and some mineral mat
ter are in cheese and the flavor is
largely dependent upon the particular
process of ripening. 1t is particularly
digestible when served with salads
and cheese should be used ON the bill
of fare more frequently than it is. The
cid fallacy that cheese is a naughty
old elf, digesting everything csc but
ITSELF has, with our present know
ledge of foods and cookery, proven I'M
true and it has no equal in replacing
meat in our diet.
Cheese Sandwiches.
Cut good toasting bread in TRAN
gular pieces with the crusts removed.
Slice American cheese very thin and
lay on slice of bread until it is en-
tirely covered. Sprinkle with salt
and paprika and bits of butter. Put
two slices together and saute in but
ter in a frying pan; turn and brown
the other side, or this may be toasted
on both sides in the oven. Serve very
hot with a crisp salad

Monmouth Review

Congressman Clyde II. Tavenner
houc5 in Monmouth Saturday evening
the guests of friends. The congress
man was in conference with number
! of party leaders, and many friends
called on him and his wife at the Col
onial during their visit to the city.
They arrived here at $40 from the
north and went at once to the hotel
where they were the guests of friends
for dinner, and later the congressman
was busy meeting his friends and con-
ferring with them over matters of in
terest here.
Although the young representative
had planned to enjoy a few days rest
during the intermission of congress,
yet he found the two weeks spent in
the district among the busiest of the
year. He had been at Rock Island
and at other places in the district, and
has been putting in some strenuous
days. There are so many matters in
which the people of Rock Island are
interested that he was beseeched on
all sides there for little time to talk
them over.
MIR. Tavenner has been working
hard to get his bill for the manufac-
tIre of small arms for war purposes
through this session OF congress, and
expressed himself as sanguine that
it would eventually be successful
The idea has been fathered by the
Fourteenth district man. and he be-
lieves that he will be able to show
such large saving TO the government
in the establishment of this factory
at the arsenal that the bill will be
passed without much opposition. In
addition to this the congressman has
several other matters in hand which
he hopes 10 push 10 successful
either this term or
next.
While here he met with many of
the leading men of the city irrespec-
two of politics. lie expires led To all
his hearty appreciation of the interest
shown IN him here not only IN the big
vote given him but also since the cleo
ton, and declared that he will always

VILLA NEAR
BREAK IS
REPORT
constituticnalist Leaders Clash
Because Of Desire Of Each to Be
in Supreme Authority Of Rebel
Movement Against Huerta.

JUhREz, Mexico, February 2s.-- CAS-.
sociatoa Press by Federal wirc!ess)-
Tho rurnor is gaining ground here that
the alleged breach between General vii
ia and General Carranza, the principal
leaders Of tho Constitutionalist armies,
is with difficulty being kept from be.
coming an open rupture.
According to reports, Conceal Car.
rama, who organized and has been res
ognized rs tho head Of the Constitu.
tionalist party, does not any longer pre-.
tend TO issue orders TO General Villa
or recognize him as tho general in com
mand of the rebel forces.
Several reasons are given for the
break between Carranza aud Villa, the
main one of which is that Villa has
become head-turned because of the sue
cesses of the armies which he has chm.
manded and that he is seeking every
pretext. for a break with Carranza that
he might become sole director Of the,
eeed. Huerta as provisional president.
1t IS also reported that Carranza is
not in sympathy with Villa g high hand.
cd treatment of foreign subjects in
Mexico, which eliminated with the exc
cution of William 8. Benton, British
subject, at this place and Villa S recent
order that rebel leaders arrest all for.
eigners caught in the ncigliborhood of
chihuahua, his military headquarters.
and that they he executed If they re-
fused to obey all orders issued to them
by the rebels. g.. .r#
IL is also rumorcd that Carranza is
Gngered at Villa for the laxity which
Villa displayed in the chase of Bandit
Maxine Castillo following the tragedy
Of the Cumbre tunnel, when Bandit Cas-.
tillo and his men sent two trains into
the tunnel, causing fifty persons TO lose
their lives. 1t is said Villa did not
make a special effort TO CAPTURE Costello
because he owed the bandit a6debt Of
gratitude for taking Mrs. Villa in safe
ty from the interior of Mexico to the
American border and that Villa caused,
the reports to issue that his men had
captured Castillo aud six Of his men and
executed them, when as a matter of
fact Castillo has escaped and later, was
captured in the United States.
Carranza, ii is said, also blames Villa
for flaming the movement among his
soldiers that the territory now in con.
troll of the rebels in the northern part
of Mexico be declared an independent
republic and accuses Villa of aspiring
to the presidency of the proposed re-
public because of his army powers.
An. open break between the two rebel
generals would greatly weaken the
strength of the Constitutionalists in
northern Mexico, as both generals have
many loyal followers. -. o..
