HEALTH VALUE OF CHEESE.

The long-cherished idea that cheese should form only a small part of the daily diet has recently been challenged Not long ago the United States Department of Agriqulture issued a bulletin, recommending the use of cheese as a cheap and wholesome substitute for meat. Now we are told by a Swiss investigator that cheese is valuable not only for its content of proteids and carbohydrates, but for the beneficient bacteria found in it. Another interesting and important assertion is to the effect that persons who make cheese a considerable ,'part of thair regular diet are very resistand to many intestinal diseases, such as dysentery and the dreaded typhus fever which desolated Serbia. According to Dr. Burri, the daily meat ration in the Swiss army has already been partly replaced by oheese with excellent results.
