3. To organize cooperative deliv-
cry systems wherever possible and
especially in the medium and small
sized cities and towns.
The request for one delivery day

different route on each trip. Not
more than one delivery day is made
to any one section of the city or
town Delivery companies, whether
cooperative or~indiyidually owned,
are also. requisite dto make only one
trip day over each route.
The restriction on returned mer-
chandise is to be interpreted to mean
three days in the customers posses
sion 1t is to be, applied in all cases
except for error on the part of the
seller or defective merchandise.
The establishment Of co-opera-
tive delivery system in every place
where it can be operated is request
ed. Where a delivery system is op-
Grating and giving satisfactory SER
vice, merchants are requested to
avail themselves of the savings that

BILE Merchants in larger cities who
retain their Individual delivery ser
vice and adopt the cooperative plan
for suburban service, thus saving
long trips of many partially loaded
vehicles
Every merchant is requested to put
this program into effect at once in
his store Carefully compiled reports
from stores in both large and small
cities that have adopted these plans
show that substantial savings have
resulted. In this way these stores
have been able to operate with small
er forces as their men have been
called into military service or engag
ed in essential war occupations. They
are helping to win the war
All stores are requested to restrict
their deliveries to one trip a day
over each route and delivery compa-
MES service should hereafter be sim
ilarly curtailed You are therefore
requested to rearrange your delivery
service on the basis of only one trip

your customers to ADJUST any con-
tracts calling for more service.
Wherever this adjustment has been
made delivery service has been car
ried on with fewer ben and less de-
livery vehicles.

Cheese has two uses for the house
wives, namely CD as means of
flavoring other foods and (2) more
important as means OF providing
protein in the diet. 1t is interesting to
note that cheese as it comes 10 MS from
the market contains 30 per cent more
fat and considerable more protein
than beef, pound for pound. As far as
composition is concerned cheese can
be directly substituted for meat in the
diet, and in many attractive palatable
ways. Cheese is not used as commonly
in American homes as is the case in
the homes of the Europeans This is
only habit or We may call ii pre-
judiCe, since many think a meal is
complete without meat. Other causes
might be that by some cheese is not
relished and by Others it has been
found to promote digestive disturb
ances. This last may be caused by
improper cooking or amounts taken in
excess. In connection with the use of
cooked cheese, one fact should always
be kept in mind and that IS this: be
cause of its great percentage of fat
cheese should not be oyerheated since
all fats which have been burned are
decomposed and SO rendered indigest-
tble Cheese may easily take the place
Of meat, eggs, fish etc. and as such. "A
few suggestions might be helpful.
Bear in mind the following hints.
cheese contains roughly speaking
about / protein, fat and water: it
Is a concentrated food and may be
served with refreshing fruits and
watery fruits, or vegetables. The
deserts should not be heavy, use in
place of fruits or such dishes as seem
light, as for instance: "apple snow. "

To Make Drive on White Plague.

The state of Wisconsin will make
unusual efforts to stamp out tuber-
culosis, according to E.A. Everett,
of Eagle River, member Of the state
board of control, who was here to-
day.
Mr.. Everett is authority for the
statement that since we entered the
war, the eyes of the officials have
been opened to the extent to which
the great white plague has spread.
Out of the quota Of men furnished
by Wisconsin to our national army,
372 men have been turned back
from training camps because they
were afflicted with the disease.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the erection of a state

appropriation.

Cheese, which is believed to be one
of the oldest dairy products. has been

the accidental storing and ripening of
sour milk curd, and is handed down

From the standpoint of agriculture,

from the latest census figures, It is

Red Cross Drive.

/ Practically every chapter in the
state is organized for the Red Cross
drive which will open in Wiscon-
sin on May 20 and continue through
May u. There are sixty nine chap
tiers in the state, and in many cases
these are the same organizations as
have been engaged in war work
since its initiation. In many cases,
too, the organizations are better
than in the last drive because some
Of them have become permanent,
with organizations reporting to the
chapters, from the townships and
villages.
Each chapter in the state has ap-
pointed its campaign manager, and
active work is so thoroughly start
ed that the drive for a week will be
one of the most complete ever made
in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin's allotment in the
drive will be 81 800. 900 with $780,
900 of this allotted to the city of
Milwaukee.
The needs of the Red Cross are
too we'll known to be chronicled
here. The good the Red Cross
does is worthy of repetition over
and over again. There is no end to
it. Ask any of the boys who have
been over there"-they know
and they are glad to tell. The Red
Cross does the constructive health
work when our boys" are sick or
injured, other agencies look after
their we'll being when their hospi-
tai days are over. But it is to the
Red Cross that they make their
first plea for health. Mothers and
fathers with BOYS at the front know
this, and, while it would seem to
be the duty of those who have not
given one of their own to be the
first subscribers to a Red Cross, it
is in almost every case, the parent
who is the first TO give. This is be-
cause the parents know-and you
know and | know.
So why not be one of the first to
give? There are no slackersHn the
Red Cross army-there should be
none in the Stay-at home army.

visit YOU remember have
many others to see-have your con-
tribution ready.
