LET'S EAT MORE CHEESE

Pound for pound tho nutritive value
OF cheese is practically. double that
Object and it is a most excellent sub.
stitutea for beef, says Athe diary de-
partment at Iowa State college, which
is urging that more soft cheeses be
made at home, as one number on the
war thrift program. Many of these
soft cheeses can be made from loft
over skim milk that, would be wasted.
Cottage Cheese
Skim milk is usually used. 1t should
be sweet and have good, clean
flavor In the afternoon raise milk
temperature to 72-74 degrees F. TO
10 pounds skim milk add tsp. fresh
sour buttermilk or clepn clabbered
whole or skim milk. Dilute drops
of rennet in small amount of cold
water. Stir diluted rennet well into
milk. Cover milk vessel to retain heat
and allow to stand until morning. 1t
will then be soft curd, when it
should be ladled gently into cotton
cloth and hung to drain. When sui
ficiently dry, salt to taste and cheese
is ready for use.

Potato vine diseases caused loss

tatoes ir Iowa last year, large part
of which could have been prevented

potato vine diseases common in 13wa

Don't plant potatoes from curly dwarf

Conservatively Iowa cans 25,O00,00O
quarts of food stufs normally each
year. This year, in addition. to the en-

will can at least $50 quarts apiece. or
1,5000,000 quarts; those attending the
demonstrations will can at least 100
quarts apiece or 100000, this es-
timated low enough to take account
Of those attending who would can a
few quarts anyway. Thus a 10000
600 quart increase will be canned in
Iowa this year, or total Of 415,O0O,-

The season thus far has been IA

In this disease the leaf is first coat

Mobilizing Good Will

1t is very practical as well as very far
and Just advice which the Council OF Ma
tional Defence has issued with respect to
the 100000 aliens within our borders.
Eve urge upon all Americans to meet
these millions of foreign born with un-
changed manner and with unprecedented
mind" An attitude of neither suspicion
nor aggressiveness" is asked.
That will be the general behavior OF
American communities, we confidently be-
lieve. Already the bulk Of our German
population have made their difficult de-
cision. The loyalty of the great masses
of German-born Americans has made
itself clear, and only poor American
would display toward them anything less
than cordial good will
The spy problem is a separate question
which citizens must leave to the authorl-
ties to deal with. It's gravity we would not
for a moment minimize. But to confuse
the German secret agents with the great
bulk of our German population would only
add vastly to our danger without assisting
us toward a solution. In the rare eXcep-
ton where our trust may be betrayed we
will have as compensation wealth of
good will and devoted loyalty TO the coun-
try of us all.

MEDICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN
No First Grade Institution Now Offers a
Complete Course for Them
Do the Editor Of The Tribune.

o the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The appeal Of Dean Gildersleeve to
the citizens of New York City for funds to
secure adequate physical accommodations for
women students at the College Of Physicians
and Surgeons should not fall upon deaf ears
Any phase of the healing art appeals pecul-
iarly to women, and in the new era OF pre-
ventive medicine upon which we have entered
there arc many places for women to FILL
At the present time, as was pointed out
last summer by one Of our medical journals,
the demand for women physicians far eX-
ceeds the supply. II is a reflection upon the
spirit of justice of this community that, as
Miss Gidersleeye has shown, there is not
vet single medical college of first rank in
New York City which offers a complete med
ical course to women. That Is to say, IN
profession for which she is peculiarly adapted
there are still distractions placed in the
way Of women obtaining first class medical
education. And the majority of women want
the very best medical preparation procura-
bic. Some years ago when the medical school
of a coed college in this state increased the
length of the medical course from three to
four years a majority of the men In the
class elected the threc-year course-it was
optional for that year-but every woman IN
the class remained for the four-yesr course.
The expense to-day of adequately equip
ping a medical school is very great, and no
student can expect to be thoroughly
grounded in the work who is taught in a
second rate or third rate college, yet if OBJ
stacles are placed in the way few may
choose the line of least resistance.
1t may be in the near future physicians Of
both sexes will be greatly needed. Let us
not repeat England's expensive mistake Of
making the study Of medicine difficult for
women or we may have to repeat her atone
ment to them. MAUDE GLASGOW, NJ. D.

Saving Sleep

Hank not the lark. Hark rather to Dr..
Richard Cabot. The message of the early
bird may be more shrill, but the sound of
its carol cannot drown the comfortable
words of the Boston physician. There
they glow in his recently published LAY
mans Handbook Of Medicine" just little
after fits and just before vasomotor
rhinitis. "Sleep all you can" says the
GOOD doctor. "You cannot overdo It," lie
adds that few adults need less than eight
hours, and that many need nine or ten.
Of course, this is only start. Hereto
fore our lives have been handicapped by
alarm clocks and early breakfasts and
business and all sorts of distractions. The
nation has never seriously given itself to
the cultivation of sleep. Ideals have been
lacking. Such cowardly phrases as "suf-
ficient Sleep have stifed ambition. Dr.
Cabot sets a higher standard. There IS
inspiration in call you can Wonders

themselves to service. What IS eight
hours, or ten hours, or even twelve hours
to the serious sleeper? Lie on, Macduff.
