FINE CHEESE EXHIBIT AT
MANITOWOC COUNTY FAIR

1.-THE Cheese Exhibit at the Mantle
voc county fair this year was good to
look upon" said E. L. Alderhold of
Neenah, who acted as judge, land in
quality was as high, if not higher, than
any exhibit of it's size | ever saw at a
county fair"
Longhorn and young American
cheese were featured and prizes were
given to Twin and Dairy cheese and
Creamery and Dairy butter.
At a time when the public is being
exhorted to eat dairy products, the
attractiveness of such exhibits fur
theirs the work of the Wisconsin Food
Administration. The many varieties
Of cheese are advertised, and the rea-
sonableness of it's cost in comparison
with meats is demonstrated.
1T is a fair general estimate that a
given amount of money spent for
American cheese at ordinary prices
will buy about twice as much food as
it would if spent for meat" claims
DR.. Sherman, professor of Food Chem
istry at the Columbia university.
Generally speaking, cheese sells al
no higher price per pound than the
ordinary cuts of meats, while is is
considerably richer in both protein
and fat

CANDY-MAKING SUP
PORTS THOUSANDS
OF EMPLOYEES

In answer to complaints that while
consumers can get only two pounds of
sugar at their grocery store, the con-
fectioner's windows next door are
filled with candies, Magnus SwensOn,
Food Administrator for Wisconsin,
explained the attitude of the Admins
tration toward the manufacture of
candy.
Consumers have no knowledge of
the amount of sugar used by the con-
dictionary industry" he said. The
Bureau of Chemistry and clever con-
fectioners are constantly experiment.
ing upon sugar saving formulas con-
taining corn and maple syrup honey
and invert sugar.
eve have cut their sugar allOt-
ment to so per cent of the amount
they used during a corresponding
period last year. Before this ruling
went into effect cOnfectiOners used
only per cent of the total sugar con
sumption in the United States; now
they consume only per cent. This
averages one-half teaspoonful per per
son per day.
would you have the Food Admin
istration close a big industry involv-
ing millions of dollars and which pro
yides the means of living to hundreds
of thousands of employees to save
one-half teaspoon of sugar a day for
you?"

SHELLS TO MAKE

"A Few Peach Stones May Save a
Soldiers Life" is the caption adopted
by the Wisconsin Food Administration
for it's work in collecting fruit pits for
gas masks.
Pits of apTicots, peaches, prunes,
olives, dates, cherries and plums and
the shells of Brazil and hickory nuts,
walnuts and butternuts are needed by
the Gas Defense Service Of the Army
to make carbon for the masks. Only
those mentioned in the above list are
of use; no others should be mixed
with them because time and labor
must not be wasted sorting them out.
The nearest Red Cross organization
will take care of all that you may
bring them.
Commercial Gamers and packers
will be able to contribute the most and
are urged to save and dry all their
pits. They should communicate with

Senator Overman of North Carolina

all the evidence is in documentary

liquor interests had been pernicious

FROM AMBASSADOR GERARD


The following is the opinion OF AM
bassador Garard regarding those who
would stir up class hatred and internal
strife in this country at the present
time. 1t Is worthy OF the consideration
Of those who are inclined to lend a
pleased and listening ear 10 Nonparti-
san League propaganda which Is based
entirely upon the plan Of profiteering
politically by stirring up strife and at
tn same time lend the Kaiser helping
hand in America
more unfortunately there are poli-
tlclans in America who seek the votes
OF those disafrected. and approach trca-
son in doing so, In all the history of
sordid politics. there is nothing more
nauseating than the effort of these
cheap politicians thus TO crafty their
personal ambitions.
Their shameful identity is known TO
all. A generation from now their own
descendants viii be applying TO the
courts for change OF name.
IL. when the test comes. II is found
that the votes of these disaffected citi-
Gems count for som thing in our cleo
tons, we must find some meas to dis
enfranchise them rather than have our
low politicians outbidding each other
within the law in order to get these
votes"
