Cottage cheese is here. Koors Bros. have added the manufacture of -cot- tage cheese to their numerous other lines and are now making a high grade of cottage cheese with which they will supply:-Bemidji and the sur- rounding: country, e N. L. Nelson of the U, S. depart- ment of argriculture, has been with them for ‘the past few days assisting in the manufacture of the product. Cottage cheese is a food and not a Juxury. It is highly endorsed by the government and as 'a meat substitute it is"high and in energy and protein and one pound of cottage cheese has ‘the food value of one pound of beef, pork, mutton, veal or fowl, it is said. In addition, it is a most economical food, as it costs considerably less per pound than meat. If every family in Bemidji uses one pound of cottage cheese each week in place of one pound of meat, fifteen hundred pounds of meat will be lib- erated for the use of boys in France. The managers of the gas and elec- tric corporations, Mr. Frerich and Mr. Naylor, have been kind enough to aid in the cottage cheese campaign. They will enclose leaflets containing re- cipes for' the use of cottage cheese with their next monthly statements. These recipes have been tried by do- mestic science experts and many housewives and have been found ex- cellent. Additional recipes may be procured from the county agent, Mr. Aamodt, whose office is in the court house. Mr. Nelson urges every grocer and butcher to put in a supply of cot- tage cheese. It may be obtained from the creamery fresh daily and thus insure to the consumer a supply that will be above criticism.- The slogan is “cottage cheese or meats?” Ask your pocket book.
