A member Of my family has been
ordered to eat considerable cheese.
There are practically no restrictions
as to the kinds, and I am wondering
if YOU will give me some idea Of what
the popular cheeses are, so that may
provide as varied a diet as possible
Mrs. M. j.
i am very glad to give you a few
details as to the kinds of cheeses In
most common use. First there Is cur
own or American cheese, other names
of this are cheddar and store cheese,
although the latter Is merely COLO
quail. This Is made either of whole
milk or of skinned milk, the price
and food value varying accordingly.
Perhaps the simplest way to classify
cheese roughly is as hard and soft.
One of the hard cheeses is Edam.
This is made in Holland and comes
in the form of a sphere with an outer
coating which has been colored red.
Camembert is soft cheese that was
originally made in France. 1t Is
creamy and Of very decided flavor.

Their misfortune Is our fortune.
Their hard luck Is our good luck. The

posed to be- genuinely sorry. In so
far as we have identified our success
and happiness with these various peo-

Psychologists, however, claim that our
expressions Of sympathy are NOT

Of a sense Of security and superiority
in escaping the hard luck that has
overtaken our friend. For example.

Answers to Food Questions

It Is usually put up In round wood
boxes or, tins. Parsemens or Russian
cheese is another hard cheese which
comes from Italy. 1t breaks up into
bits that have a decided granular ap-
pearance. It Is possible in this coun-
try to purchase it grated and put up
in bottles so as to make it convenient
to serve as seasoning for macaroni
or soup. One important point in con-
nection with this cheese Is that 1t
will keep for a number of years.
Still another popular form of cheese
is Roquefort. This is French cheese
and is made either from sheep or
goats milk. Those who do not enjoy
cheese protest against its green mot
tied appearance. This is caused by
the molds that lie in the breadcrumbs
used in its making. 1t is the green
mold that gives the particular flavor
to Roquefort cheese. There are, of
course, a number OF other varieties
but the ones I have named are the
most popular and are, I believe, the
kinds that will give you such a serv-
ice as you have in mind.
Is it advisable to use coffee which
has been mixed with chicory? I have
just come back from a visit to France
and I found that French coffee is lib
orally mixed with chicory and, frank
ly, l do not like 1t. Will you tell me
whether chicory has any bad effect?-
Mr.. A. L.
Since chicory is prepared from the
roots of an edible plant 1t Is quite
safe to say that. to mix it with coffee
will not do any harm. I agree with
you. however. that true coffee lovers
will not enjoy such a beverage. In
fact. l had your own experience when
1 was in France. Grocers say frankly
that chicory is added to the coffee for
the purpose of making it go farther.
1t seems to me that the case dissolves
itself therefore into one of individual
taste. If you like your coffee mixed
with chicory, well and good, and if
not, equally we'll and good. Chicory
Is, of course, used much more exten.
sively in European countries than it
Is In America since the plant is cul.
tivated there.

BY DIR. MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

scandal which you know will hurt
your friend? And why Is some mem
ber Of your family likely to say, "Well,
So-and-So will not be so high and
mighty now?
There seems to be an unconscious
gloating over the misfortunes Of even
our best friends because their dis.
grace or loss contrasts with our own
reputation and financial standing.
Even when we are forced to suffer
ourselves. we take 1t much more
calmly II friends are involved. A
preacher called on an old woman of
his parish who had lost her Winter
potatoes through an unexpected, early
frost. The old woman made char
acteristic reply to the minister's offer
of sympathy: THANK God, I'm no
worse off than my neighbors"
We bear easily the hard luck of
our friends because we unconsciously
regard them as rivals. Hence their
misfortune gives us an advantage.
They may be in need of help from US
which we graciously bestow as token
Of our superiority.

BEAUTY CHATS
Essential Cosmetics.

II you have a fairly small stock Of
cosmetics, you'll get along very well
with beauty treatments at home. Half
the things you use come out OF your
kitchen anyway-and the other half
are not expensive.
You must have a cold cream, cleans.
ing or flesh building. just as you wish.
depending on whether your skin Is
naturally dry or oily, and on your age.
IL you make the cream yourself, you
might as we'll make it flesh building:
1t will also cleanse the skin. for all oily
cosmetics will do that. I'd suggest
you take the general cold cream form
ula in the Beauty" pamphlet, and
make 1t up with half mineral oil, as
Ii says, and half the finest olive oil.
This gives you cream good for
wrinkle massage, rough or chapped
skin, and yet the cream is light and
very cleansing.
You must have an astringent. but a
lump of Ice from the refrigerator is
az good as anything you could buy to
tighten the pores and relaxed muscles
of the face and neck. You must have
a bleach, several bleaches, and again
you go to the kitchen--lemon juice
for nail and finger stains, bleaching
freckles and such marks, and laundry
starch made into a paste and spread
over the face or arms as a general
whitener.
Face powder you must buy, but
bath powder Is nothing but cooking
corn starch. which is soothing and
cooling to the skin, perfumed with a
little sachet powder. Nail cream Is
ordinary cold cream, rub it in well at
night and it will do wonders toward
keeping the finger nails smooth and
young looking. Vanishing cream is
so useful for temporary or for quick
beauty treatments and for ugly elbows
that it is we'll to have small jar of
a good quality for the few times you
need It, With this stock you are well
supplied.
