Worlds Famous Cheeses

Cheese is such 6 wholesome staple ip the food lexicon that ale most every nation has developed It's own justly famous varieties of cheese.
 stilton cheese is perhaps the most famous English product. The flavor of real 6tilton has @ tang which is well nigh irresistible to those who are fond of 1t. Cheshire and Cheddar cheeses are perhaps more generally popular than the Stilton, but each has it's following in epicurean circles. Tn this coun- try we obtain the first mentioned variety packed in neat glass jars, or pots, and the othe rtwo cheeses in eight.ounce cartons, holding six portions.
 From France come the famous Camembert and Roquefort cheeses ito them the "chiefs" of the cheese family. Germany has also devel- oped Camembert which Is packed in such Q way that 1t is always in prime condition for serving. This is the cheese which is best in it's ripe, creamy state when even the rind is tender.
 Both Roquefort and Camembert cheeses are delicious served with hot crisp crackers after dinner, or as a filling for rye bread sand- wiches for 6 luncheon or supper menu. Roquefort is also popular as an ingredient for salad dressing, and as Q filling for stuffed celery and endives. For convenience a Roquefort dressing is put up, in tubes, ready for combining with French dressing, for salads. or for stuffing celery.
 Qruyere cheese is Q Swiss prod- uct and Q most popular cheese in America. One must go to Holland for the Dutch full cream cheese and the famous Edarn cheese with out which no epicure's household is complete. Most of these import ed cheeses are now available to us in small boxes, containing six irl- dividual portions. and through this economical method of packing we are becoming more and more fa- WnntsA WAwsA ssASAhbs The most famous of the Italian cheeses is perhaps the Parmesan cheese, which is used so much in It's grated form for fiav0ring sauces. spaghetti and ravioIi. It can be bought in wax~paper envelopes or in sealed jars or cartons. ready for use.
 Among the American cheeses the sharp New York Herkiuier cheese has the shAFpest tang for aii gratln dishes. and for service with apple and nlince pie. Thsee great cheeses may be seen in any market, creamy. fresh and wholly delicious. For miIder use. as ia sandwiches, there are the Philadelphia cream cteeseg and the yellow Anlsriean cheese.

If you want to increase the strength of tea, when you brew 1t, add e lump of loaf sugar. This will help to open the leaves quick ly and makes the tea much strong CT. Remember, too, when serving tea that the strong beverage is as bad as medicine to some tastes. It is best always to provide little jugs of hot water 50 that all may enjoy just the degree of strength best liked. <.
 You may think that cream from the farm is the best cream for whipping, but 1t isn't. Experts say that to get the best and quickest results, cream should be ct least 12 hours old. Have 1t as cold as pos. siblc, of course, and beat slowly at first, increasing the speed as the cream begins to thicken. Add sugar and fiavoring after the cream is stiff.
 Note for Kitchenette Cooks: To prevent the odor of cabbage or cau- lihower when cooking these veget- ables, prepare them for boiling and put them in an uncovered saucepan with Q piece of toasted bread or stale bread on top of the vegetable. Let the bread remain until the cooking is finished, then remove 1t.

INDIAN BUREAU CHIEFS RETURN
 FROM INTERIOR
Director Hirst and pr. Van Ackeren Back After Ex-
 tended Trip in North

Claude M. Hirst, Director of Ed ucation for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and pr. J. F. Van Ackeren, Medical Director, returned to Ju- neau on the Yukon after an extend ed trip to the Westward in connec- tion with affairs of the Bureau. It was the first for both men to the Interior and they were enthused with Alaska and the great possibili- ties the Territory offers.
 Dr. Van Ackeren went up the AL aska Railroad and visited at Panama Crossing in connection with medical work of the Bureau. MT. Hirst went to Haines, Yakutat, Cordoya, Val dez, Eklutna, Seward and Anchor age.
 One of the features of their re- turn trip was the national broad cast yesterday from the Yukon while steaming down Lynn Canal into Jul neau. Over nationwide hookup Di- rector Hirst was able to tell listeners in the States what the Bureau is doing for the natives in Alaska. He told of the vast country to be coy- cred and pointed out the number of persons engaged in the work and how it was carried on. In his intro ductory remarks, MT. Hirst said:
 The U. s. Office of Indian Affaxs maintains some l0l schools for the natives up here in Alaska. Nearly all of them are located along the coast and on the Yukon and Kusko- kwim rivers. They are located from one end of Alaska to the other from Metlakatla in the Southeast tc ! Atka in the Aleutians, and from Gambell, on St. Lawrence Island below Boring Straits, to Point Bar row on the extreme northern coast Despite the vast distances separating them we can keep in contact witt them all year long, thanks to tht boats, trains, and above all, the air plane. In addition, we can communi cate with most of them at all time through the services of the U. s. Sig nal Corps"
