CHEESE HAS always been a
favorite of young and old. and
let's not overlook il now just be-
cause il must be accompanied by
some of our ration points. II IS
true that those points are pre-
cious, but so is cheese, for IT IS
a wholesome food containing
much protein material and abso-
lutely no waste.
The cheese on the market to-
day can be divided into two
classes, the non-rationed dessert
cheeSes and otherwise.
Great advantage should be
taken Of these. and incorporate
them into your menus often to
be used in salads, with crackers
for snackS and supper, as an
extra relish at the Dinner table,
in sandwiches and appetiZerS.
