WHY CHEESE HELPS TO
SAFEGUARD INTESTINES
—
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 agri
culture issued a bulletin recom
mending the use of cheese as a
cheap and wholesome substitute
for meat.
Now we are told by a Swiss in
vestigator that cheese is valuable
not only for its content of proteids
and carbohydrates, but for the
beneficent bacteria found in it.
N aturwissenschaf ten of Berlin
says: "These kinds of bacteria, es
pecially those in Emmenthal, and
similiar cheeses . resemble in ef
fect those lactic acid bacteria which
play an important part in all sorts
of sour milk preparations such as
kumiss, kephir, and, according to
recent reports by Dr. Burri, especi
ally in yoghoort. Above all, cer
tain undesirable processes of de
composition are to a great extent
suppressed, or at least diminished,
by the bacteria referred to.
Another interesting and impor
tant assertion is to the effect that
persons who make cheese a consid
erable part of their regular diet are
very resistant to many intestinal
diseases, such as dysentery and the
dreader typhus fever which has
desolated Serbia. According to
Dr. Burri, the daily meat ration in
the Swiss army has already been
partly replaced by cheese, with ex
cellent results.

ANOTHER AMUSEMENT PLACE
With the re-opening of the Shoot
ing School at the foot of Mission
street, the people may find another
place of amusement where they can
shoot away their little wads. Mr.
DeYoung will attend to the rest:
Just go and shoot away all you mind j
to.
THE COUNCIL HOLDS
SPECIAL MEETING
On account of the absence from
the city of so many members on
the last regular meeting night, a
special meeting of the town coun
cil was held last night. Acting
Mayor F. E. Ryus presided, and
all the members were present ex
cepting Mayor Beegle and Council
man Schlothan, who are still out
of town. The regular routine bus
iness was transacted, bills amount
ing to $2146.00 were allowed and
ordered paid, and the sum of $2,000
vas appropriated for school pur
poses. A petition for the peh
manent improvement of Front
street between Dock and Marker
streets was presented with the re
quisite number of signatures, and
the work was ordered. In con
nection with this work it was de
cided to call for bids for the deliv
ery of 1,000 yards of gravel, es
timated to be suffirent to complete
this work and to fill in the section
of Front Street from Dock to
Grant streets and Dock Street from
Front to Main streets at some fut
ure time. In the matter of Cliff
Avenue it was held that the town
undoubtlv owned the water front
along the proposed street, and the
mayor and clerk were authorized
by the council to s»cm a petition
with the other property owners for
(hr imnrovement of the street. Mr
Edward Brown thn i$r*. |
land property owner present last
night: he acquiesced to the action
of the council and it is believed
that a sufficient number of others
will sign the netition to assure
building of Cliff Avenue. The
line now proposed will allow the
work to be nearly all of a per
manent nature, only a small part
of it will reouire piling.
