CHEESE AS A FOOD "Why and How to Use Cheese," is the title of a pamphlet of the Dom- inion- Department of Agriculture which contains a large number of re- ; elves for tempting dishes which may be made with cheese as an ',ngred- lent. From the standpoint of the housekeeper one great advantage of cheese is that it can be served in its natural state without heating, cook- ing or other preparation. At the eannc• time it is made easier to direst by combining' it with other foods. When eaten with bread or other starchy food, such as potatoes or macaroni, it forms a very setisfae- tnry food combination and one m- ile, digestible by most people. It may also be used in cooking' in many different ways described in the paut- phl,et which may be obtained on ap- , 1 licatinn to the Publications Pr,mch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. • After a short illness, Conrad Zi113- ax, prominent hardware merchant of Listowel, died at his home Friday night, He was born 65 years ago in Waterloo County, near Elmira.

She Bran the hest 2'lt:u'lut driver 121 the khled,m and had won many faes, Ilut her most remarkable feats were in runulug. IIt this no one was 1'uund to beat her. Su p11)112es she of her swiftness rm Iter legs tide site made a vow she would marry no man who could not beat her the cinder path. Having many suitors, this only added to the rivalry among them. But since ail ability to run rast sloes not argue that it man is otherwise attractive, those whose muscular development warrant. ed their entering the list were not like- ly to win the girl even if they won the race. Several fleet runners came s0 near beating her That if she had chosen she might have thrown the race without appearing to do so. One day a young man came to the village where this girl, Eudoxia, lived and announced that he would enter the list against her, only he made the provision that should he win the race she must marry him, De sent a chal- lenge, and Eudoxia dispatched her brother to look the man over and re- port to her whether he would likely outrun her. The brother returned and reported that, while the challenger was shapely, he was not muscular, and his physique did not warrant the iufer- ence that he could beat an ordinary runner. The slight risk of being beaten by one whom she world be pledged to matey and yet might dislike tempted Eudoxia to consent to the terms. So au agreement was drawn up between leer and the stranger, who calla( him- self Boris, to race. and if he beat her she was to marry him. This agree, went was signed by Eudoxia without having seen her suitor. The race was to take place on a track in the form of an ellipse, the length being half a mile and tbe'e being sev- en laps. A large concourse of people were gathered to see the race. The stranger stepped forth in a pair of short running pants such as are worn at the present day. One thing about him was noticeable -his manly beauty. It was evident that he was not built for fleetness. But what astonished ev- ery one was that he held in his hand a harp. Eudoxia was attired In the same fashion, with the addition of a shift falling only to the thighs. When the two confronted each other it was noticed that the stranger's man- ly beauty, which all agreed rivaled the statues of Apollo, made a marked im- pression on Eudoxia. When she saw the harp in his hand she was surprised, and when he diel not lay it aside be- fore taking his position for the race she wondered. The signal was given. Eudoxia started off so fast that sbe did not know that Boris was walking slowly. She heard behind her sounds from the strings of the harp, soothing rather than inspiring. When she had made three-quarters of the first lap there, di- rectly opposite her at the other end of the minor axis of the elliptic course, was Boils, walking and striking his harp. Then he began to sing. Eudoxia, wbo had nothing to fear from such a tortoise, stopped to listen. Boris was sing]ng her praises, the love he felt for her, pleading that she would not turn a deaf ear to him. She listened ttil he bad gone out of hear- ing, and then she proceeded to the oth- er end of the minor axis and waited till he had come around to the point whets she had been listening to his song. It seemed that in the meanwhile it had grown sweeter. (40 was walking very slowly, putting all his feeling into it. Again Eudoxia went on till she reached the point at which he bad been singing, while he proceeded till he took her place. Iiere both stood still, the man singing of the beauty and the virtues of the peerless Eu• doxia, she seeming to be spellbound. Then he went on singing, "Wait for me, fair one," repeating the words again and again till he came around to where she stood, and the two walk- ed side by side. In this way they proceeded, the girl rapt in the song, 1131 they come with - ht a few yards of the goal, when Boris, still shi,lu.g, turned and walked back- ward, keeping his eyes fixed on Eu- dexlu, till he passed over the goal. Then the spectators, who had ap- peared to be enthralled as well as the girl, drew a long breath and burst into a cheer. And so Eudoxia was won, not by fleetness, but by the power of song,.

Justice Martin is an old Exe- ter boy. STILL ABLE TO WORK The proposal of the minister of justice, Hon. Ernest Lanoinie, to pension federal, judges when they reach the age of 75, nas caused con- siderable comment. In view of this, and of the fact that a number of the most eminent of Canadian judges are upwards of eighty years of age, and several past that period, it is in- OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES teresting to note that Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United States Supreme Court, observed his 86th birthday recently, and that he ]Sas no intention of giving up work, though long eligible for retirement 071 ac- count of age and service.

One of the most enterprising of modern naturalists, lir, William Beebe, who has 1natle the hu ruing down of unknown and little-known tnhabltants of (h„ Sea 1111 tiro work, is preparing for 1111 1'211101(1011 retold the Equator, Muth 2-aluabl, inform- ation has; been ;4.1 1110,1 es t 1,011 It of his previous voyages 111 the mynte•- hen Sargasso Sea and the Eastern Pacific, and itis Loped that the ndw 1 (1201ltu!e will be 1gnally frullfui.

Indeed, before the Equator exp:•dltlon starts he intends ependino some time in Hayti, where he wants to study sharks at close range. He believes that these creatures are not so black as they are painted, but wants to maize sure, Certainly, them is a gond deal of evidence that the bigger fish, includ- ing sharks, let divers severely alone when they came across them, But cases have been known in which they have been rather a nuisance. One diver, the late A. Lambert, was dog- ged by one for a week while working in the Indian Ocean. - At last he got fed -up, showed it his hand as a bait, and then, when it turned over to bite, put "paid" to its account with his knife. What sort of fish will Dr. Beebe find in the ocean depths? We have some general idea, but the chances are that his daring experiment will lead to the discovery of new species, One fish which he is practically cer- tain to encounter is the deep-sea angler -fish who is one of the strang- est inhabitants of the ocean, Eike many human anglers, the angler -fish does not like being in a crowcd. It floats shout in solitary stole in the darkness, waiting, with patience be- fitting' its name, for whatever Fate may send along. Something usually does comes along, for the angler -fish shows a tiny paint of light. In the ocean deeps, where 1110 0111') rays never penetrate, a speck of light very pot-slbly moans food. se every now and again some inquisitive and honory swimmints thin. mines alone to investigate. Then the angler -fish has another ural. WITH THE SHOAL. A Herring. 'fells the Story of Its Life and Adventuree. My mother laid 31,000 eggs.

The eggs lay nn the bottom, sticking to stones and shells and, sine0 the water was not re'3 cold, hatched out in about fourteen days. When first hatched I was a tiny thing, so small and transparent as t0 be almost invisible.

Even so, it was more than a month before I was an inch long. After than I grew steadily. Luckily for me, the sea where I was hatched, off the Shet- lands, swarmed with tiny shellfish, so that I fed well, and far two years grew at the rate of rather more than half an inch a month. Then fu11- ernven, and bigger than most or 1017 fellows, for I was fourteen Moho: long, I took my* place in a great shoal Which began swimming stead - 11y southwards.

Motherwell, 17LP., Canadian Minister of Agi'icul- ture, Honorary Chairman of the World's Poultry Con,r:ess to be held at Ottawa from July 27 to August 4, 11)27, is evincing that enthusiastic HON. W. R. MOTHERWELL interest in the congress that 1111' all his life been a dominant character- istic, whenever anything connected or nsosci'ated with agrleulture is con- cerned. His interest is net meant ic. Tt is the interest of the prarticel farmer, for that he 1taa been all his life as he still is. Na farmer knows the value of poultry raisin;' or any other branch of farming better than the Honorable Mr. Motherwell. No one in Canada is hotter able to appreciate the importance of t]te World's Poultry Congress and its significance to the development of Canadian Agriculture than the pre- sent Minister of A1;rieultnre. No one has been more- naively associat- ed in recent years with the move- ment for advancing the interests of the practical farmer throughout Canada than this nat've son of On- tario, most of whose lila has been spent in Saskatchewan, where Itis farm, now one of the show places of. Western Canada, stands as evidence of what can be accomplished princi- pally by personal industry. Native of Ontario The Honorable W. R. Motherwell was born at Perth, Ontario, in 1360. if 9:11:1M After his elementary education in the local schools and Perth Collegi- ate Institute, he yetent to the Ontario Agricultural College and was grad- uated with honors. That was in the days when graduates in agriculture were not as numerous as they are in this age. In 1882, soon after his graduation, he went to -Saskatche- wan and settled on a quarter section of homestead land. That original quarter section is now part of his 0/40 acre farm. When Saskatchewan was incorporated as a province of the Dominion in 1005, W. P., Moth- erwell was elected to cite Provincial Legislature and in the torrential of the first Cabinet be was appointed Commissioner of Agriculture and Provincial Secretary. He continued as head of the Saskatchewan De- pertinent of Agriculture until E,1 8. In 1921 lie was appointed as Domin- ion Minister of Agriculture and re- appointed on the return of power of the present federal adntinista•ation. Throughout the years, the honorable W. R. Motherwell has beer mi ardent and fearless protagonist in behalf of whatever will benefit Canadian ;,g riculture. The thousands of delegates coming to the World's Poultry Congress will enjoy meeting this kindly farmer and statesman, to whom may proper- ly be attributed a large measure of credit for bringing to Ottawa what will assuredly be one of the out- standing international gatherings of this generation. Vice -Chairman T. C. Elford, Dominion Poultry Husbandman, is also general director of the coming show. Mr. Elford re- presented Canada at Spain, and was T.
