The nationally known "Winnsboro Blue Granite" is quarried near Winnsboro, South Car olina, in the ^ifth District, and no finer granite is produced in the United Slates.

CHEESE HAS AN IMPORTANT PL VCE IN THE DIET Many farm families have a surplus I of milk so the making of cheese in i the home has been a profitable dem onstration. To use plenty of cheese is one way to use moe; milk. The cheese contains most of the food val ue of milk, and it also has the ad vantage of keeping longer than milk and in being used in ways that milk cannot. We are reminded by the Bureau of Home Economics that cheese is not just something to seaflon or flavor something else ? a condiment or ac cessory, but it is a substantial food and good in a main dish. Cheese Si<> Uifr ><*? the- ? /bed valued as meat for it is rich in protein, fat calcium phosphorus and in vitamin A. It is a concentrated food and too j much of it should not be eaten at one time. It should be eaten at a meal where at least a fruit and two vegetables are served. Because cheese contains so much protein, it should be cookedat a very low temperature. Most cheese dishes should be cooked over water or in a very slow oven. Cheeee makes a valuable addition to oven dishes, cream sauces and various soups. Macaroni or rice, or noodles scalloped with tomatoes* and cheese is very do licious. It is much liko tho Italian : "Polenta" in food value. Grated cheese over tho top of a casserole of i mixed vegetables is another one-dish meal Cottage cheese is easy to make and can bo used in as many different ways. It may be served as a main disih or combined with fruits or vog etables. Miss Sadie Craig, the Home Agent, has given fourteen demonstra tions in making cottage cheese. 2f>.r) women wero present. Sho used the following recipe: 3 quarts thick clabber, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-8 teaspoon paprika, G table spoons thick cream or melted butter. < Line a cofiander with cheese cloth and set in a dish pan. Place clabber in colander and pour hot water slowly through ftio clabber u*,il the curd begins to harden slightly. When It has drained add the salt, paprika and cream or butter. The milk should be thoroughly clabbored or coagulat ed. Making' American Cheeso i.1 an other recipe that*Miss Craig used in her demonstration. This recipe was given her by Mrs. J H. Hough, n member of the Throe C's Club. It has been usee] successfully by many of tho Home Demons' ration Club m^mhorfl. The following is tho re cipe: Two gallons of clabber makes one quart of curd.

Harold Titus The Distinguished A uthorof Our New Serial "Code of the North " , Wheo Harold Titus locates a f story in the north woods ho has a Betting with which he is familiar. He knew the north woods; ho knew lumber camps; he knew the lumber "jacks" and their ways, I for he was born and raised with them. Ho is a native of Traverse City, Grand Traverse county, Michigan. His lullaby when an infant was the ring of the woods- | man's ax and the crash of the pine and spruce as they fell. He ?pent his boyhood days amidst the lumber camps that then dotted northern Michigan. He harks back to the stirring scenes of those boyhood days when he wants J a setting and characters for the kind of a story he finds joy in writing. Harold Titus is a graduate of the University of Michigan. In j school he showed a decided bent I for a job of writing, and he fol- i lowed tt up after graduating by securing a reporter's position on the Detroit NewB. Then the call of the beauty of the outdoors caused him to go back to his homo 1 county and write, with the grow ing of fruit as a side line. When the World war came he enlisted in the American army and served throughout the conflict as a sergeant in the ordnance serv ice, which gave him experiences and settings for more stories. With the close of the war he went back to his stories and his fruit farm, but for a time served as conservation commissioner for the state. Harold Titus has produced a number of Btories that have achieved distinction. Among them may be mentioned, "Conquered," I "Bruce of the Circle," "The Last i Straw," "Timber," "The Beloved j Pawn," "Below Zero" and many 1 ! others, the latest of which is "Code of the North," which will | appear serially in these columns, the time of which is the lumbering day:* of.Jthp noHH, an<$ the setting and characters are those with ?which he was familiar as a boy. It is an especially good story, with an abundance of action, depicting stirring adventures and a charm ing romance.
