Cheese and Meat.

A pound Of cottage cheese 10 equal to
pound Of beef In food value and seven
teen pounds Of cottage cheese can be
made from 100 lbs. of skimmilk. At
least 20 billion pounds of skimmilk are
being fed to hogs and calves which
could be made into cottage cheese. The
amount of cottage cheese which can be
made from the available skimmilk per
year would be equivalent to the amount
OF beef grown in Q year. In other
words, there is tremendous supply of
protein food in skimmilk which is not
being used for human beings.
Effort has been made to increase the
supply of cottage cheese and to get
people to consume 1t. There are two
reasons why more cottage cheese ID not
consumed. First, the consumer does not
know its food value and therefore does
not make regular demands for it; and
second, the manufacturer has not put
up the cheese that it may be purchased
as a food and at reasonable prices.
Cottage cheese is consumed very largely
ss relish and not as food which will
take the place Of meat. Two pounds of
cottage cheese should be purchased for
Is cents, and this would bring q good
return to the producer and fair profit
to the retailer.
If every family In the United States
would consume two pounds of cottage
cheese per week it would require nearly
IS million pounds to supply this demand
and would save that many pounds Of
meat. II We allow pounds OF corn to
produce pound OF meat, the consump
ton of IS million pounds of cottage
cheese would save 5,400, 900 bushels of
corn per week or over 2S0 million
bushels in year.
We desire to support the Food Ad-
ministration in it's splendid work, but we
cannot understand why 1t has not urged
people to eat more dairy products es-
pecially cheese. We have a surplus
supply of milk and billions of pounds of
skimmilk going to calves and hogs
which could be diverted into human
food. There is undoubtedly q necessity
for requiring people to eat less meat and
to have meatless days, but meatlsss days
do not necessarily mean the consump-
ton OF less meat. The man at hard
work, when he goes without meat for
day, will demand more meat the next,
unless he has some food to take Its
place. Cheese will take the place of
meat, and why not encourage its use to
a larger extent?
Vigorous campaigns are being made
to save foods, why not more effort to
utilize food which is pourishing and
sbundant?-Hoard's Dairyman.

Steve hastened to call upon Sylvester

grasp the fact that he and Caroline

impaired to his sister, but unknown to

Mission, which visited the United
States in the spring of 1910. When
in day o. two we see them wander
ing through our street, with their big,
soft hats, a little homesick, little
shy. trying to adjust themselves
to their strange and novel surround
ings, seeking to orient themselves SO to
speak. we shall not stare at them as
if they were kind Of curious and In
teresting novelty. We thall see in them
the living representatives Of that
splendid nation which has freely Of
fered us the support of it's moral power
its wealth. aid its fighting men, be-
cause it is convinced that the cause
Of the Allies is the cause of right
eousness, justice and liberty.
we shall think of them, moreover, as
having come to as from far away In
order to share with our own poilus a
life endurance and to stand side by side
with them against the enemy, deter
mined to suffer to die, and also to
triumph
Finally, We shall remember one facg
to which no French woman can be tn
different. It is that among boys, these
these husbands, these soldiers. there
are many who have forever said fore
well to their homes and ffresfdes ana
to the land that gave them birth, foA
their tomb win be somewhere vonder in
the soil of our beloved France which
they have come to defend and to de-
liver.
These thoughts need only be sug-
gested to us in order to excite In our
hearts current of intense, sympathy
for these our visitors; every selfish
consideration win be blotted out; no
one win think for a moment of call
culating whether their presence Win
increase our discomforts in food and
lodgings; nor win any one dream OF
"profiteering" from their necessities.
Dominated by a single purpos that of
treating them cas- guests and allies, we
shall be their warm hearted guides and
protectors
In these times of national suffering
and sorrow for our dead we do not
propose to you. fellow citizens, to cell
citrate the visit Of these American
comrades on leave with brailiant fes-
tivities or echoing cheers. What we
ask of you is simply to make your
selves known to these noble hearted
allies by a word. gesture. a helpful
attention, an unseifish action. 4
frank. friendly smile, even, will go
far toward expressing the gratitude Of
Savoy and France.
Citizens of the Great American Repub-
lie, Soldiers of Liberty:
AS it has pleased you to come TO us
for your seven days of leave which you
can not enjoy at home in your far-dis-
tant and beloved country, believe us
when we tell you that we receive you
as comrades in arms and as If you
were our own sons TO you we open
our hearts and offer our hands. We
bid you welcome.
