USES OF CHEESE.

A HIGHLY VALUABLE FOOD. In the days of old we used tc be* told that cheese was a substance that digested everything but itself, and if wo ate too much o'f it we should know all about it by iigestive troubles of varying horrifying intensity. We have gradually outgrown that "'notion, but still it is all too rarely used excepting, for the traditional biscuits and cheese' at the end of a heavy meal. '■ Americans have gone further than' wt> have in rediscovering the value of this nutritive and imich-mLsunderstood food. The home economies specialist at Columbia University, New, York, possesses the only cheese research .kitchen in the world, it is said; and she has evolved many appetising schemes for popularising cheese as an everyday article of food. She says that young people should take two quarts of milk each day; but. if they grow tired of so much milk, as they frequently do, it is an excellent thing to vary this menu by giving them some cheese in lieu of the liquid. It has been discovered by, careful laboratory experiments, she says, that even the smallest cube of cheese one inch square, will give onefourth the amount of calcium required daily for the perfect health of a t child. No other food substance will do this.

Exhaustive experiments in various Laboratories have proved that the human body utilises 95 per cent of cheese, and that, so far from being indigestible and of small importance, it is in reality solidified milk, containing most of the vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates of milk itself, and supplying the rarer mineral salts so. vital to health. When this information, was disseminated through papers and magazines in America the demand for cheese became enormous, and it is now one of the most valued and popular articles.of diet throughout the states. In'fact, it is »sed so extensiveby, that one wonders sometimes if any dish is really complete without a touch of cheese—es-pecially cream cheese—in it. '

It is amazing how well cheese with the most unlikely foods and commands respect because if its undeniable improvement of the original dish. For instance, one of the best salads, most easily prepared and most popular, is prepared thus: Take fresh and tender lettuce Jeaves and place upon individual plates. Then spread or pile on the lettuce some pineapple, fresh or tinned. If a fresh pineapple is used peel it in the ordinary way and then take two forks and tear the fledi from the centre. Never use a knife for pineapple unless it must be cut into rings, because the flavour is destroyed by doing so. Every pineapple , should be cut from top to bottom, not across, if one is to "get the best out of it.. This is the way it is always cut for eating in Hawaii. ■ Having shredded the pine with the forks and placed the pieces on the lettuce, add, if liked, some mayonnaise dressing, and then cover with fresh cottage cheese—or cream cheese; and set aside to blend for an hour. The cream cheese will be found to. be infinitely superior to fresh cream withthe pineapple. -Another way of using cream cheese, or any -cheese -"or that matter, is to take it with bread and butter and honey. Spread these three in the usual way, and take the cheese with it, either spread, if soft enough, or eaten as one would eat it with biseuits. Many people who cannot take honey alone because of its excessive sweetness relish this combination. With tinned pears filso, cream cheese is delectable and here nobody would think of eating apple pie without cheese, to help it along. Another delicious way of using cheese is to spread it on very thin brown or white bread-and-butter in the form of a sandwich, and then toast it. It is aiso appeasing if the bread is rolled instead of doubled for sandwiches before toasting. Cream cheese is.used almost more extensively than ordinary cheese, but there are endless ways of combining it with other foods that captivate the fancy.
