EAT MORE CHEESE

PLACE IN NATIONAL DIET NEW ZEALAND PUBLICITY [from our own correspondent] LONDON. May 16 The London office of the New Zealand Dairy Board, which last year pave striking testimony to the nutritive value of butter in its pamphlet, "Butter and the Nation's Diet," has again taken advantage of the increasing public interest in nutrition by issuing a companion booklet, entitled, "The Sign of The Cheese." The booklet, which is the first of its kind to be published, deals interestingly and concisely with the history of cheese, its relation to Old Knglish life and customs. its production in Britain, New Zealand and other countries, its place in the national diet —with official medical testimony to its high nutritive value —and recipes for its use in the home. A special chapter describes the grow til of the cheese industry in New Zealand, which in less than sixty years has become the principal supplier of cheese to the United Kingdom. The booklet points out finally that Britain's present cheese consumption, which averages 3oz. a week for every man, woman and child, must be trebled to reach the standard set by the British Medical Association. More and better cheese cookery is urged as a means of increasing cyusumption. The publication, which is attractively illustrated, has been issued to members of the British Women's Institutes and of the Women's Co-oper-ative Guild, and to teachers of cookery and their pupils in all parts of the United Kingdom. Nearly 200.000 copies have been distributed in this way. It has also been reviewed in the British press.
