on state occasions and which in spite of
their foreign names ars the product of

perts. Is far mors nutritious than an equal
bulk of meat
Hear the words of wisdom from aa au
thorized report:
"A pound of cheese has nearly the same
food alue as two pounds of fresh beef or
any other fresh meat. It is worth as much
as a pound of ham and mors digestible
(please take special sots of this, you who
make pork one of your chief items of diet 1),
is equal to two pounds of eggs and three
pounds of fish. ... The only war to ac
count for the comparatively limited de
mand for cheese is on the basis of custom
and lack of knowledge "

the intelligence and the up to dateness of
the American housekeeper!

MARION HARLAND'S HELPING HAND
Fourth of July or offering Ice cream for
breakfast.
Suppose you were to serve a fine Juicy
beefsteak with fried potatoes and hot oaf
fee, and follow it by a piece of apple pie at
12 o clock at night then go to bed within
an hour or so. Do you think you would
wake up the next morning with an undis
turbed digestion, a cleas mouth, and a clear
head? Isn't It more likely that there would
be about as much of a suggestion of the
melancholy of the " cold gTy dawn of tha
morning after" as would follow Welsh
rabbit and beer taken under like circum
stances? The trouble is not with the cheese but
with the time at which you take li. Make
an appetizing dish of cheese, and put It be
fore sour, family for luncheon or supper,
when there is going to be time and wtjen
tbtre probably will be exercise to heto
the digestion to take care of it. and I aru
willing to wager something that the after
math of discomfort will be lacking. A
highly concentrated form of nourishment
cannot be eaten aa you would food that
puts no strain upon the gastric powers
unless you help them to take care of It by
stimulating the blood to do Its part in the
business at digestion If you have been
exercising before the meal or If you move
about briskly afterwards jron will not be
annoyed by dyspepsia unless your stomach
is in bad condition to begin with, and. Jn
that esse, tea and toast might distress you.
One Thing to Remember.
One thing you must recollect Cheese has
for Its principal constituent casein, which
consists of nitrogenous matter or prote'n
In order to digest this you mustoffsitltby
starch carbo-hydrates That ,1s the phi
losophy of serving Welsh rabbit on toast
and making crackers or bread as natural
an accompaniment of cheese as the -hovel
is ot tongs or the knife of the fork. We
take It for granted that starchy prepara
tions ot some sort should accompany
cheese. Just as we make (heese the natural
dressing ot so starchy a 'conjpound as
macaroni.
Keep these few things in mind and put
jourself to work devising cheese dishes.
I am trying to help you in the good work
by giving you some recipes that may prove
of assistance to you. All of them have
been proved and eaten on my own table,
and I can commend them for their appetiz
ing qualities, as well as tor their food val
ues They wll. make a pleasing and an
economical change from meat at every
meal of the day and will almost take the
place of that new animal for which all
housekeepers yearn when the late winter
and early spring move "us to weariness of

As to the method of cleaning white furs
with starch, I think this Is what you want.
I have tried It successfully flvf or six times.
TO CLEAN WHITE FURS Beat and
brush out all tins dust Then soak the furs
with grain alcohol. TV bile they ere, still
dripping wet sift Into them all the boraclo
talcum they will hold. If you cannot get
the talcum mix four parts ot powdered
starch with one part of the best quality o'
powdered borax. Use a powder box with
a perforated top and drive the powder down
to the roots of each hair. This done and the
furs thickly coated, put them away In a box
with a close top and do not open It for three
days Take, then, the box Into the open air
and shake all the powder that will come out
of the furs Into the air Beat and brush
gently but faithfully, then smooth the furs
Into shape. The grime will come away with
the powder
