THE CHEESE MARKET

' It has often been remarked. by people at home as well as by vii-Kim's.

that we are seldom able to procure

properly ripened cheese in the home m... m fialluwlng taditorial in um Mail and Empire shows why —

"canadlgn cheese commands a premium in the Brltmh markets over mat. o! the same type coming from

any other country. 8000113118 i0 DR

Ruddlck. Dominion Dairy and 001d storage commissioner, who adds that this prelulum amounts to over $1,500,- 000 on last year's production. That is satisfactory as far as it goes, but. we would like to see more efforts made to develop the home market. The Canadian cheese offered for sale in this country may he of the same type as that. which is in such demand in meat sntaln, but. at generally lacks the flavor. Neither in taste nor in smell is it. comparable to the exported article. We are not. experts in the manufacture and sale of cheese, but. wc do know that the greater part of it reaches the Can- adian. consumer too soon and before it has had time to mellow. If it ls impracticable to store cheese at fact- ories until it is properly ripened steps should be taken m encourage retail dealers to withhold ‘it. from sale for a- longer period. ‘In some of the larger centres of population a few stores have already adopted this practice and meet with a ready sale for the cured cheese at an enhanced price. ‘Unfortunately these places are fCW in number and are little known to the general public. We believe that. a campaign t0 increase this practice would produce highly satisfactory NESUIIS. It would teach people to prefer cheese when it is in bet-tel- condition as a food and it would. help t0 build up a vast. and steady home market. It is stated that “the output of cheese has been up and down without any permanent tendency in either direction for some

years." If the people of Canada

’ were as well informed. as are the

British people on the most desirable quality in cheese and acquired the taste of it. the home market would absorb each your a great/er amount. and the output would no longer be

at. a standstill.

due to the sacrifices made by the early communities of the Marithnes in thflulllfliilbfvflf higher education. Of these sacrifices Canada and also many sections of the United States have reaped the fruit."

H By ‘lame: W. Harlan, M.D. EXCRCIQE SOUNDS LIKE MEDIC- [NE

I_ often think that the expression “taking exercise" sounds so much like “taking medicine," that it scares folks away from indulging in. what is lust as much need of Nature as sleep 0i- food.

when man was created with his entire body covered with a. mass of 111118619. it was meant that these musc- les should be used, and every other part. of man was milde or created in plopolflon to his huge mass.

There is the strong heart. the large limes, a blg stomach capable of hold- inc enough at. one time to do man twenty-four hours. a long small in- testine. twenty feet in length, to give the bload plenty of time to absorb all the good or nourishment from the food as it goes along, a large intes~ tine, alx feet. long, to absorb anythini! still worth while, and to be partly a. reservoir for wtlstm.

Then the huge liver, kidneys. and a skin with millions o! pores, all til/ICC cf- which help to gel. rid of wast-

But how much work or exercise docs the average man give his hugh mass of muscles? g . .

As Dr. J. C. Elsom points out. "There was a daily regularity in the musclar work of our ancestors, par- ticularly primitive man, but now we are in a. state of chronic poisoning from lack of exercise." In other wards we eat as did ourunceators, but we do not do the work or take the exer- lclse which they did with “daily regul- arity." . The reason. of course Ls that most of us do..nat__ have to take exercise Elevators, sweet-oars. motor cars. labor ‘saving machinery. all make work or exercise almost ulmcccssfll? And yet, you and I are built as W66 our ancestors with a body covered with muscles that should be worked.

The Charm of A The Maritimes

For many inland dwellers in Can- ada. the Maritime Provinces are largely undiscovered territory. In tllesummcr months, travellers .on holiday bent go down to popular re- sorls cll the New England coast in the belief that they are visiting the most attractive seaside places. The seashore is a wonderful change, of course, even at Atlantic City, when: the ortiflclallty of Broadway has been. pushed right onto the sands. But the American coast towns ‘have lost much charm since the advent 0T the automobile. They have been drawn into the orbit of tourist traf- flc to such an extent the new gell- oration has become so much occu- pied with the business ol catering for tourists. the natural industries of tllc sen. have more or less disappear- ed. The smell of fish and wlweql has been displaced by the smell of asphalt roads and gasoline.

Automobiles have penetrated into lllc Maritime Provinces, mo. but the villages of Nova. Sootia. New Bruns- wick and Prince Edward Island still survive as communities of natural industry. The fishermen along the South Sllorc of Nova Bcotla are po~ lite l0 tourists, but they take no thought. oi reaping any other liar. vcst. than the harvest of the sea. Thel! K0 of"! at 3 a. m. daily after cod, haddock, herring and swordfish, leaving it to the womenfolk to gather the fruits of. the. tourist trade. At intervals along the coastline of the Maritime Provinces there are mod- est hotels, but for the most part vis- ltors must be prepared to be enter. tained as guests in private homes.

The only doubt that one ln love with life in the Maritime Provinces might. have about endorsing the new movement to promote tour-lat trafllc from Central Canada ia that some of the lovely villages at, the seaside might become too l. , ‘ r. No real lover of the sea would want l0 B0 0o the crowded tourist resorts between Florida and Maine after once discovering the charm of the Marltlmea.
