WAYS OF USING CHEESE

Cheese may be used in many palat-
able dishes. When grated it may be
used in soups or with many vege-
tables. Other foods with which
cheese is used are: Macaroni and
cheese, Welsh rabbit, tomato rab-
bit, baked rice and cheese, baked
crackers and cheese, vegetable and
cheese rolls, cheese omelet, oatmeal
and cheese, and cheese mush.
Recipes and further information
are given in Farmers Bulletin 4S7,
Cheese and It's Economical Uses in
the Diet, which may be obtained free
on application to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, d. c..

PLANS FOR NATION
WIDE FOOD INVESTIGATION

The Federal Trade Commission
authorizes the following:
Informal plans for the nationwide
food investigation directed recently
by the President, we're mapped out
recently in the offices of the Federal
Trade Commission at conferences
attended by Department of Agricul-
ture and food administration ofiic-
ials. Closest cooperation among
the three Government branches, and
the cutting, as far as is practicable,
of "red tape" was strongly empha-
sized. The probe is TO start at the
farm and to reach to the table.
As far as possible, investigators
representing the three branches of
Government will work together. To
make the cooperation actual and
! thereby prevent duplication of effort
and expenditure as near as possible,
offices for Federal Trade Commits
sion agents, who will be temporarily
located in cities where there are per-
manent Department of Agriculture
branches, will be obtained in the
same buildings.
At the conferences emphasis wes
laid on the fact that the investiga-
tons necessary to conduct the food
survey are TO be in no sense "muck-
raking" in character. True, if evil
,ience of law violations is uncovered
the proper legal authorities will be
advised, but the Investigations I'M
der way are not primarily with this
idea in view.
The Department Of Agriculture
investigators will concern them
selves chiefly with the matter of sup
ply and conditions; the Federal
Trade Commission will deal chiefly
with the matter of costs and distri-
button as it affects costs; the food
administration will aid in both
these two divisions and then concern
itself chiefly with the matter of adj
ministration of whatever findings are
made at the conclusion of the in
vestigation, and, too, tend greatly to
shape its future course from the re-
suits of the investigation.

THE HEART AFTER DEATH.


The question, "Why does a man
or an animal die p has been answer
I'd. Because the heart stops beat
ing" But any hunter or fisherman
who has dressed his own catch can
testify to the fact that the heart
does not stop beating at the mo-
ment of the animals death. Often
il will continue to pulsate rhyth-
mically for several minutes after it
has been removed from the carcass.
The most recent answer to the
"Whyw Of this is that the heart
muscles themselves possess the in
herent quality of contraction and
will contract or beat just as soon or
as long as the conditions of environ
ment are right. That is their bust
ness, and they can no more refrain
from doing it under the right con-
ditions than a rose could help Civ
ing outfits fragrance.
In recent experiments il has been
found that heat is the principal ele-
ment necessary to the development
of the heart muscles and their sub
sequent action. 1t is possible to
grow the heart muscles of a warm
blooded animal in an incubator.
During this growth single muscle
cell has been observed to develop
and wander away from the mother
cell and begin to beat of its own
accord. Again, several individual
cells may attach themselves to each
other in a colony and beat rhyth-
mically together as long as the en-
vironment is favorable.
But let the temperature OF the
incubator be materially reduced and
the action of the heart muscles be-
comes sluggish. Reduce the tenn
peFature still further and gradually
the rhythmic action ceases altogeth-
er. The cells cease to perform their
natural function because their en-
vironment is no longer right. In
other words, they die because they
are cold.
According to this theory, the
heart muscles could live on indie
pendently of a body if kept at
the proper temperature for their
best developmcnt.-Popular Science
Monthly.

upon each one, and one from which
no man may escape and remain
blameless.
Reader, have you ever thought
that, when the voice Of the people is
called for and your voice is lack
ing, the answer is incomplete7 Yet
such is the fact, and it may. be that
your voice would have changed the
result. az !
How many times have you heard
it said of the result of an cleo
ton, ''it was the stay-at-home vote
that did it." And in every such
case, if wrong was perpetrated, it
was the stay-at- homes who were re-
sponsible.
You hadn't thought of it in just
that light, eh7 Well, perhaps not,
but think of 1t hereafter.
Periodically there will be cleo
tions in this town, and your town
has right to expect YOUR vote to
be registered. 1t has the right to
to expect that your vote will express
YOUR HONEST convictions. And
it has the right to expect the same
of EVERY voter within its confines.
And when, or if, this result is
achieved, the result is RIGHT. 1t
may not accord with your views or
your wishes, but it is RIGHT, be-
cause it is ULTIMATE.
The town that, as a whole, can be
brought to view this question of the
franchise in this its true light, has
taken a long stride forward in civic
well being, and will find as its puts
into practice these principles, that
many of its vexing questions will
answer themselves and its knotty
problems will be solved.

THREE YEARS MORE OF WAR

The War Department is making
its preparations for long war, in
which the United States probably
will be the deciding factor.
The least the General Staff is
permitting itself to consider is peace
three years hence, and even that is
not limiting preparations.
The government is making its
preparations on a grand scale. No
army officer who is acquainted with
the real situation expects the war
to end until the United States has
sent at least one million men to the
firing line, and perhaps two million
may be needed.
They all agree that the time has
turned against Germany, but they
know that the wearing down pro-
cess will take a long time, many
men and practically unlimited sup
plies of all kinds. The United
States, they say, must finish what
the French and British have so ably
begun. 1t must furnish the final
overwhelming force that will cause
the Prussian giant to topple and fall.
To that end the War Department
is preparing to call out the second
army of 100000 men as soon as the
first draft army is trained.

. Good Horse. Good Rider.

Judging from the following story,
which Arthur J. Smythe tells in his
biography Of William Terriss, it is
evident that the practice of betting
on horse races was among the great
dislikes of the English actor.
When any one asked him what
horse he was going to back he
would say:
ppm going to back a little FLY
I've often backed before. Pve never
won anything on it; yet, strange to
say, I've never lost penny"
ooh, whatever horse is that?''
might have been the inquiry.
ga little FLY called Common
Sense, ridden by Tommy Let II
Alone" was the invariable answer.

A Chinese Epicure.

"The cooks of today" wrote Yuan
Mel, a Chinese author of the nine
teenth century, "think nothing of
mixing in one soup the meat of
chicken, duck, pig and goose. But
these chickens, ducks, pigs and geese
have doubtless souls, and these souls
will most certainly file plants in the
next world of the way they have
been treated in this. A good cock
will use plenty of different dishes.
Each article of food will be made
to exhibit its own characteristics,
while each made dish will be charac-
terized by one dominant flavor.
Then the palate of the gourmand
will respond without freak and the
flowers of the soul blossom forth"

The Franchise a Sacred Duty.

About the biggest thing in the
United States today is the govern
ment itself. And, readers, had you
ever thought that little three-by
seven slip of paper has made this
government the mighty world power
it is? Fact-the ballot.
The franchise is the one thing of
which Americans should feel proud
err than of any other or all others
of their possessions. 1t is the solu-
ton of every problem that can pos
sibly arise, the answer to every OBJ
lection that can ever be raised. II
is the power that unlocks the door
to opportunity and spreads wide the
gate to the field of achievement.
A gerat statesman has made the
assertion that you can trust the
people when unhampered and unin-
fiuenced, to do the right thing. We
might safely go a step further and
assert that whatever the people do,
when unhampered and uninhuenced,
is right.
Is there higher power on earth
than the majority of its inhabitants 4?
If not then there can be no appeal
from their expressed will. We do
not consider the old world theory
of the divine right of kings, because
we shook ourselves free from that
superstition more than a century
ago. OF course the question of the
Divine Will is to be considered, but
ms we are each supposed to be fol-
lowing the dictates Of his own con-
science that, to us, is RIGHT.
But we must qualify and assert
that the voice of the people can not
be unquestionably right unless it is
the voice of ALL of the people
The WHOLE can not err. Parties
and factions can and do.
And therein lies the source of all
that is wrong, all that is imperfect
all that is not RIGHT in our body
polite. We do not get free ex-
preston of the will of ALL of the
people. Let us repat; Partial ex-
preston may be right or may be
wrong; the expression of the whole
CAN NOT be wrong, because from il
there is no appeal.
All Of which is preliminary to the
statement that, besides being q priv
ilege of which all should feel proud
the franchise is a DUTY that rests

LIBERTY BOND A PRIZE FOR

\ $1,000 Liberty Bond was offer
ed as a prize to the first American
aviator who bombs Berlin from the
air, as German airmen have been

as the basis for a permanent fund

Bagdad.

Bagdad is one Of the most ia
nous meeting places of Islam, over
100000 pilgrims passing through
the city yearly.
Although the city is empowered
in trees and a refreshing contrast to
the desert without, the streets are
narrow, crooked, unpaved and dirty,
full Of ruts and strewed with gar
bage, which is for the most part
removed by dogs, the only scaven-
gers in the east.
Many scenes wildly described in
"The Arabian Nights" were laid in
