VALUES OF CHEESE
WIDE RANGE IN FOOD PROPER.
TIES TO BE NOTED.
Presence Of Cream Is Main Factor in
Deciding the Degree Of Nutriment
contained-As Prepared by
Wise Chef.

Cheeses range in food value from a
little over 400 to 1856 ~calories. This
latter food value is that of the cream
cheeses, but the ordinary cream cheese
has only $40 calOries per pound.
This wide difference is due to the
fact that a great deal of water may be
dried out of a cheese, and also q great
deal more cream be present in some
cheese than others. There is practi-
cally no cream in cottage cheese, and
the water content may be extremely
high, as much as II per cent.
For this latter reason a cottage
cheese with butter and cream and nuts
has only the food value of a moderate
ly rich cream cheese, but because a
larger quantity of it is eaten as a per-
ton there may be some danger of get
ting too much food for the body to care
for, although the digestion itself is not
so Overworked.
Formerly flavor was put into cheese
by different types of curing. Today
the practice is to put all sorts of flavoTs
in just before the cheese is served.
When this leads to %overeating it is bad
practice. But notice what the chef
does. When that final course of coffee
and cheese comes to you, perhaps you
will have served you something the size
of a silver dollar, made like the old
fashioned small tart. In a thin little
disk of cottage cheese he has made a
little outer wall by putting the cheese
through a pastry syringe, or "spritzer,"
and in the center is about half a tea
spoonful of currant jelly.
Recently l chose from a public menu
what proved to be a particularly pala-
table and filling conclusion to a light
luncheon. Cottage cheese had been
worked smooth with a little cream or
rich milk, and to this had been added
pecans chopped so fine as to be unrec-
ognizable to the eye, and thoroughly

The Old Year.

Silently the shades of evening,

In a reverie Of thought.
Thinking Of the year that's passing,
Of its hours dark and bright.

any chance Of their resuming."
Peter laughed mirthlessly. 81 guess
the little old place changed hands long
ago." he answered.
Clarice sighed. That was just like
Peter, waiting upon events. He never
did have initiative.
at twenty-five Peter had entered the
employment of the Babbitt Electrical
company. 1t was a small concern and
being crowded out by more prosperous
rivals. However, Babbitt had an idea,
and he had put all his into
it.
There was a certain process for
cheapening carbons, on which a dozen
men had been working independently
for years. 1t was a highly technical
affair and Rabbit had a score of trust
ed employees in his works busy upon
the scheme. But the hitch was soon
found. In order to bring it to perfec-
ton 1t was necessary to study all the
metallurgical writings of the modern
German scientists.
Now, German scientists are the only
men who pursue the minutiae of chem
ical Investigations for their theoretical
advantages. Perhaps ten men had de-
scribed the process, without reference
to its practical application. Scattered
through German literature, Babbitt
knew for certain, were descriptions Of
the new carbon process. These had to
be translated, brought together, ma
lyzed and reapplied. Peter had had a
German mother. He knew the Ian
/guage. He had som literary gift and
a good education. And for year after
year he had pored over these books,
translating, piecing together, until the
secret was within Rabbits grasp.
Then Rabbits money gave out and
the whole thing was abandoned. Bah
bitt had only one comfort. Nobody
else was likely to hit on the solution.
Nobody else had attacked the problem
from the same angle, and without this
careful spadework success was impos-
sible.
And Peter, who might have taken his
gleanings to any of the dozen COM
petitors Of Babbitt, and made a for
tune, was either too stupid or too hon
est, or probably both.
Next day he found a letter from
Cough & Co., dropping him and inclos-
ing a weeks wages. He started out to
hunt for a job. He hunted four days.
Everywhere 1t was the same story.
Only union men were wanted.
Peter tramped the city from end to
end. Work seemed impossible to at
tain. 1t was on the fifth day that he
suddenly realized he had come within
a block of Rabbits old place. Curl
ously, he strolled toward 1t.
He had heard that 1t had changed
hands; vet now, to his surprise, he saw
o brand new sign, "Babbitt & Co.," over
the dingy old doorway, and, stepping
forward to look, he was surprised to
9 that the foundry was running
again. just as 1t used to do.
The wild hope came to him that
there might be o Job there after all.

PARTY OWNED PAPER
NOT PROVEN SUCCESS

At the North Dakota Socialist state
convention held Feb. 4-6, 1916, it was
decided by unanimous vote that the
state-owned paper, The Iconoclast, be
turned over to a new association.
This course was taken, not because
there was any discord but because it
has not proven-a success, as the reso
luton herewith printed says.
The delegates in taking this course
showed their appreciation of the new
scheme by pledging some $500 to it.
The convention lasted three days
and was enthusiastic throughout A
new platform was adopted and a state
ticket elected. The ticket is satisfac
tory to every Socialist. The question
of the Non-Partizan League was dis
cussed pro and con and the conven-
ton decided to allow the members to
join if they have a mind to. The

The following resolution in regard
to the paper was adopted:
Whereas, The experience of the
Iconoclast as a party-owned paper
has not proven success, and
Whereas, The information before

paper can no longer continue under
the present plan of ownership, and
Whereas, We recognize the import

put Socialist literature in the hands

SOCIALIST PRINCIPLES

A Socialist is one who places the
human rights of the many over
against the property rights of the
few.
Strictly speaking, there are no
rights" There are merely needs, or
desires. When a number of human
beings recognize their common need
of certain thing, they call it a mat
tual right" or "God-given right -
Both are decisions. In practice, self
interest, backed by might, is the only
right" recognized either by pagan OF
Christian peoples. The present era
of anarchy and violence on the part
of the Christian moralists and Flaw

BAD EYESIGHT
MAKES CRIMINALS

NEW YORK.-Defective eyesight
frequently is the cause of criminal
tendencies or moral delinquencies, in
the opinion of William H. Wadhams,
judge of the court of general sessions
bad eyes make bad men," said
Judge Wadhams, in an address to

THE man who cannot see straight
cannot think straight and cannot act
correctly. One of the first steps the
state should take in the correction of
criminals is careful examination and
treatment of eyes"
Editors Note.-The evil effects on
conduct of defective eyesight have
long ago been noted by ophthalmolo-
gists. To acknowledge this source
of criminality in special cases is not
by any means to reject the economic
causes of crime, 80 per cent, of which
is due to poverty.

You might as well face the fact,
dear reader, that Socialism will de-
stroy the home and the family as
they exist today. But wait! Don't
condemn Socialism on half truth,
hear the whole truth! You need not
fear for one minute that Socialism
will abolish any of those elements of
home life and family life that are
dear to your heart and mine. The
privacy that we all desire, the cher
ished intimacy with those we love,
the ever sacred and ever beautiful af-
lection between husband and wife
and between parent and child, Social
ism will not and cannot destroy. The
very contrary is true. Economic Sc
curity, larger freedom, and more
general culture and refinement that
will come with Socialism will only
increase and cultivate the charm and
beauty of those ideals. The only
home that Socialism will destroy is
the home as a workshop. The only
family that Socialism will break up
is the family founded on the economic
dependence of women. Nor will this
breaking-up process be achieved by
Socialism alone. Capitalism began it
more than a century ago, and is con-
tinuing it at the present time in an
unbroken process of evolution. When

weaving went into operation, when
the first domestic industries were
transferred from the home to the fac
tory, capitalism began to break up
the home as workshop, the tradi-
tional home of countless generations.
When the first women spinners and
weavers left their unpaid domestic
labor and entered the factories as
wage workers, capitalism began to
destroy the family, the traditional
family supported and controlled by it's
male head But the transformation
brought about by capitalism lis still
incomplete. Although most industries
have been taken out of the home,
some remnants of domestic industry
still linger that necessitate the con-
tinuous presence of women working
in primitive way. Although women
have been given the opportunity to
become economically Independent,
this independence is still supposed to
terminate with marriage, the econom-
ic status of wives is still supposed to
be one of dependence upon their hus-
bands. Socialism will merely lead the
present trend of development to it's
rational and inevitable conclusion by
taking the last domestic industries
out of the home and socializing them
like all others, and by giving all wom-
en- economic independence, regardless
of their marital relation,
