In hot weather even hearty appe-
htes grow tired of meat. Cheese nat
nrally suggests itself as substitute,
since 1t is rich in the same kind of
nutrients which meat supplies and is
material which can be used in a
great variety Of ways.
Many people believe cheese to be
difficult to digest, but extensive inves-
legations have been carried on in the
department Of agriculture, the results
of which show that cheese, properly
prepared and used, Is not a general
cause of trouble.

keeper cheese is of Importance be-
cause of its nutritive value (particu-
larly its high percentage of muscle
forming materially, because of the
ease with which it can be kept and
prepared for the table, and because Of
its appetizing flavor and the great va
riety of ways in which it can be
served.

cial pains should be taken to serve
