the new Federal ruling in regard to
wheat -four. Why do we have to buy
so many pounds of substitute food
stuffs when we never used them be-
fore? Is it an unnecessary hardship
to place this demand upon the people
of the United States?
The answer is given in the following
facts: Under ordinary conditions be-
fore the war Great Britain produced
only LIS, France IL, Belgium 10
and Italy 2-3 Of the food necessary to
supply their population.
The men that worked on farms are
now at war, and the food supply has
been greatly depleated in all the war
ring nations. The French people eat
very little rice, rye, oatmeal, or corn.
Over half of their food comes from
wheat. We must supply those people
and our own boys with plenty of good
bread. Our surplus has been shipped
and what wheat is used by our
soldiers must be saved by the people
at home.
If we do not submit to the wheatless
days it may become necessary for the
food administration to issue bread
cards. Let us join hands and play the
part of a good soldier.

CHEESE DIET IS WHOLESOME
Ono Pound Of the Food Supplies More
Than Twice AZ Much Energy a.
Same Amount Of Steak.

Too many people use cheese merely
as an appetizer, says the Scientific
American in commenting on recent
bulletin of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. According to this
bulletin and to the universal practice
in the great cheese-producing countries
of Europe, cheese is one of the most
valuable of foods and a most satisfac-
tory substitute for meat.
A pound Of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as pound
Of fowl or round steak and almost
twice as much protein as the same
amount of fowl or ham.
Contrary to the opinion Of many,
cheddar or "store" cheese is not usu-
ally indigestible ard constituting. Ex-
tensive digestion experiments conduct
ed by the department have demon
Strated that more than 90 per cent of
the protein in cheese is digested and
that 80 per cent Of it's energy is avail
able. Even when eaten in large guam
titles and for long periods, no case Of
indigestion, constipation or other dis
turbance was observed in those who
ate it. One person who ate cheese as
eating an average Of 9.27 ounces daily
for more than two years, did fair
amount of muscular work and kept in
good health.

Dust in the SWeeper.

"Only last week found Mary's ear
ring here" said the experienced house
wife to a younger woman as yet quite
inexperienced in housekeeping ways
who had wondered why the speaker
should look over the accumulated dust
that she had just shaken out Of a
carpet sweeper; the Mary referred to
being the maid employed in this home.
MARY came to me-" the speaker con-
tinued, land said she had lost one Of
her earrings and she had looked every
where for it, but just simply couldn't
find it; but knew the likeliest place
to look for it, and there did find It.,
in the dust Of the carpet sweeper,
where many jewel has been found be-
fore this, and where, no doubt, many a
jewel has been lost. I always look
over the dust out Of carpet sweeper
before throwing it away" Upon hear
ing which the inexperienced young
woman registered mental resolve
that when she went to housekeeping
she would do the same.

OLD T0MBS OF PATRIARCHS
Cave Of Machpelah, Bought by Abra.
ham for Buryine Place, Has
Stood RavaQes Of Time.

The tombs of the patriarchs in Jeru-
salem, the cave Of Machpelah, which
Abraham bought for "a possession of
a burying place." is still in existence.
For forty centuries it withstOOd the
ravages Of time and men, relates a
writer.
1t is situated in the town of Hebron,
16 miles south-southwest Of Jerusalem,
and sheltered from proclamation by
Mahometan mosque that rises above it.
The tomb contains the whole patri-
archal family, with the exception of
Rachel. The cave is divided into an
upper and lower compartment. Only
the upper compartment is accessible to
the priest in charge Of the mosque,
but he only enters it in times Of great
calamity, and for the sole purpose Of
praying. AS to the lower compart-
ment, where repose the illustriOus ia
theirs of the Jewish nation, they re-
manned completely closed until the
year 1862, when, for the first time,
King Edward VII, then the prince
Of Wales, together with Doctor STAN
ley, the dean of Westminster Abbey,
and two other friends, were granted
admission.
The six tombs are arranged symmet-
really in rows of twos; seventh, in
the wall, is believed to belong to Jo-
seph. Abraham's tomb, which has the
form Of coffin with shelving ridge,
is about eight feet high, and is set in
the cemented stone and marble. 1t is
covered with three gold embroidered
green carpets, which are the gifts Of
the emperor Of Constantinople, Ma
homet II, the conqueror of Egypt, Selim
IL and the Sultan Abdul Mediid

COURTESY Was Wasted.

There Is such thing as wasted
courtesy and one encounters it almost
every day in the crowded subway or
elevated trains, observes New York
correspondent. Recently man was
riding in damned train and when 1t
stopped at the Forty-second street sta
ton there was an thrush Of passen-
gers. Among them was a richly
dressed woman, who led boy Of
about ten by the hand. She stood be-
fore a notwithstanding man who oc-
cupied a seat. With a touch of his
hat he arose to give the woman his
seat, when the boy broke loose from
her and jumped into the vacant seat.
The woman made no attempt to take
the seat for herself and remained
standing. What was worse, she made
not the slightest acknowledgment Of
the mans courtesy.
