COMMON EVERY DAY FOODS.

The common dishes which are pre-
pared every day are those which we
delight to vary, in order to appeal to
the appetite
Cheese is so common upon our Ia
! bles, but | wonder If we realize its
food value. Nearly every one has an
idea that cheese is indigestible, but
the government reports, which are
based upon many experiments, show
us that it is not, as supposed, hard to
digest, for it is proved to be as easily
digested as meat and has twice its
matchmaking value.
An ounce of cheese is equivalent in
nutritive value to one egg, two ounces
OF meat or a glass of milk.
Cheese is admirably adapted for all
races, all climates and conditions, and
with hard cracker and a bit of fruit
will supply all the sustenance needed
to give well balanced ration.
Cheese is at its best uncooked,
though we like the variety which it
gives in combination with other foods.
One needs to remember that cheese
is very rich, condensed food, and
in planning dishes in which it is used
the fat of other foods should be elm
mated
Corn and Cheese Souffle.-Into a ia
blespOOnful of melted butter turn two
cups of grated cheese, then add a
fourth Of a cup of fresh grated corn,
or the canned will do; stir for a mo-
ment and add two egg yolks and a half
cup of tomato which has been put
through a sieve; add a chopped red
pepper, salt and paprika. Toast bread
on one side, rub the untoasted side
with the cut side of a Glove of garlic.
Pour the cooked mixture over the un-
toasted side of the bread. and serve
at once.
Nut and Cheese SaIad.-Cook togeth-
er a tablespoonful Of grated onion
with tablespoonful Of butter; add
a little water and cook until the onion
is tender. Mix well a cupful each of
bread crumbs, grated cheese and nuts
-walnuts, or any kind desired. Add
the cooked onion, moisten with more
water If needed, and put into baking
dish to brown.
Cheese with macaroni as an escal-
loped dish is another very good way
Of serving cheese. 1t is also good
combined with rice.
When making a brown betty, use
cheese instead of butter with the
bread crumbs.

Little Jasper Indignant Because His

Little Jasper Senter learned from
the minister's sermon one Sunday that
man was made of clay, so after return

him a man after his own fashion. The
work proceeded in the clay bank back
Of the garden until his mother called
Jasper to luncheon. He had completed
all of the man save one leg.
That afternoon Jasper and his moth

ginning.
During the cold weather, after a
small dish of oatmeal we'll cooked and
served with good top milk or thin
cream, two or three griddle cakes,
piece Of bacon or a small ball of sau-
sage and a cup of coffee will make
a satisfying meal for a busy. active
person.
If the MONDAY meal is a dinner, we
will have a good soup of some kind,
either clear broth with rice or a
vegetable soup. For the meat dish try
pot roast with prunes. 1t is very
common, but 1t is very good.
Add a pound of well washed prunes
to the meat while cooking, and remove
them and add a little seasoned vinegar
to them, and serve with the meat.
For vegetable that is nice to serve
with the roast, onions stuffed with
bread crumbs and nuts and basted
while cooking with butter and water.
A simple salad of lettuce with
French dressing or little chopped
apple and celery served on lettuce
makes good substantial salad.
Apple pie and cheese, the cheese
grated and sprinkled over the top of
the pie and set in the oven to melt,
iS a good dessert
If one desires a simple one that is
more easily prepared. there is always
canned fruit and small cakes and
cookies, which, with a cup of tea, is a
dessert nice enough for anybody.
Emergency Pudding.-Toast stale
cake, spread with preserves and put
slices together in the form of sand
witches. Top with favored and sweet
ened whipped cream; dot with bits of
jelly, and serve.
Cottage cheese, apple sauce and hot
ginger bread is another good comb

FEARFUL FOR HIS HEALTH
Friends of Reformed Man Remarkably

Why Metals Die

Metals get sick and die, Just as do
plants and animals. At least such is
the conclusion Of the French govern
ment, which is at present devoting
considerable attention to the matter.
An alloy of aluminium and copper is
used for military helmets in France
as well as many utensils and imple-
ments which are used by the army.
This metal becomes corroded in the
course of time. Little holes appear
in it's surface and later on it is blem-
