Tradition says that an Arab horse
man set forth across the desert with
bag Of dates and a pouch Of milk
for his lunch. The milk soured and
at lunch time the Arab was sur
prised to find a yellow curd sep
arated from the wateFy fluid. He
tasted this eurd, liked It, and so the
making OF cheese was started.
American consumption of cheese
has increased six fold since 1850.
The use Of cottage cheese alone
tripled from 1919 to 1880. NeVerthe-
less, our average consumption Of
five pounds Of cheese per person per
year is q low figure compared with
European countries and with our
own consumption Of meat and but
ter.
Wisconsin supplies about two
thirds Of our AIneFican-made cheese,
with New York coming second.
Cheddar or American cheese and
cottage cheese are the two kinds
most commonly used 10 this country.
One pound Of American cheese
contains the protein, minerals and
butter fat Of one gallon Of milk.
Consequently, this cheese is often
an inexpensive substitute for milk.
Its richness in protein makes it an
economical meat substitute.
When cheese was only used as an
accompaniment to pie at the end Of
a heavy meal Indigestion was usual
ly blamed on the cheese, and not on
an already oveFburdened stomach.
Cheese is now generally recognized
to be quite as digestible as any other
concentrated protein food such as
meat or eggs.
Macaroni and cheese, cheese sauce
for vegetables, cheese sandwiches,
Welsh rarebit, cheese souffle, and
crackers and cheese are all good
ways 10 use American cheese.
Cottage cheese Is usually made
from skim milk. It is rich in pro-
tein, calcium and phosphorus. 1t is
commonly used In salads and as
meat substitute.
High .nutritive value, economy, di-
gestibility and favor combine to
make cheese worthy Of a place as a
commonly served food.

20, like gardening!"
Yes, Bernice, so do l, especially
this kind. Instead of flowers, q
mother is a gardener of children
We try to help each of our boys and
girls to grow straight and strong and
as lovely as a flower. It takes time
to grow a beautiful plant or a great
tree, and so, 1t takes years to make
a little girl into a lovely woman"
1T takes a lot Of patience, too
Mother. ! thought our avOcados
would never come up!"
"All gardeners must have pa
tience, whether they are creating a
beautiful scene OF trees, flowers or
shrubbery, or helping a little girl or
boy to develop into a gracious WO-
man or a fine man. When a gardener
puts a little brown seed into the
ground, he does not expect to see
il blossom the next day, and so nei-
ther do l expect you to be a charm
ing woman all at once. When we
look at the seeds we put into our
gardens, we do not see only those
queer little hard things, do we? We
see, mentally, the straight stem
shining leaves and beautiful bios
SONS they will become. So when l
look at you, do not see only a little
girl who was not quite as good to-
day as she meant to be and who
sometimes makes mistakes, but
see you growing sweeter and finer
year after year until you become a
loving and lOYable woman. And
every stage of growth, dear, has a
lOVeliness Of its own. The early
growth, the later development, the
buds and the blossoms, are all so
beautiful"
"Oh, Mother, il that's the way you
see me Ill try hard to be that way"
said Bernice earnestly. Il like to
look at myself through your eyes"
Sometimes mothers and fathers
forget that no perfect and vital thing
is ever built or created in a mo-
ment's time. They should not be
disheartened II their little girl or
boy does not respond Immediately to
their efforts. 10 attain the proper
perspective, the long view Of child
