Making Italian Cheese. 
fake night’s and morning’s milk, from 
two gallons to six or eight, as the case 
may be; mix and beat it bloodwarm in 
*be morning. Put one-half to one tea¬ 
spoonful of rennet, or else the junket 
tablets sold in grocery stores, but ren¬ 
net from the calf’s stomach is much 
cheaper and better if it can be had. Then 
let it harden or become a curd, taking 
ti'om one to three hours. With a large 
! Poou stir and break the curd into tiny 
particles, and allow it to settle and separ- 
'tf. the whey from the curd. Then take 
•i cheesecloth bag. put a ring of wire at 
j 10 opening and with a cup put the curd 
11(1 whatever of the whey could not be 
loured off iuto the bag. Hang and lot 
'•iitiu. Take from bag next morning, and 
put in dish or wooden foi-m if you have 
it. A quart basket or small round half- 
peck wooden measure is very good, but 
make a few holes in it to let drain. This 
is the cheese, and can be salted in a 
week’s or month’s time. When salted 
moisten the cheese by washing with warm 
water, spread salt on top and put it 
around also. It will be good to eat in 
a few days after salted. If left a month 
it will form crust, but will be finer in¬ 
side. While in the form it must be 
turned about every day. As to the ren¬ 
net, we take a young calf’s stomach, one 
that has never taken anything but milk 
for food, and if not full of milk when 
removed from the calf when butchered 
fill it with sweet milk and a large quan¬ 
tity of salt, and after two weeks it is 
ready for use. The quantity of rennet 
to be used depends on the strength of the 
rennet. mrs. l. delpiano. 
The Country Church of Tomorrow. 
The church in this Western country 
(Colorado) is in a state of transition. 
We, who are watching the signs of the 
times, read the situation from a hopeful 
point of view. Men of vision are study¬ 
ing the needs of the rural population as 
never before. With the coming of daily 
mails, telephones, up-to-date farm meth¬ 
ods and consolidated schools the church 
will have to look well to her laurels, or 
be left in the rear of the procession. Not 
to minimize in the least the true mis¬ 
sion of the church as a spiritual force in 
any community, there are practical 
phrases of the problem that should not 
be overlooked. Not a new gospel, but a 
concentration of ideals and spirit, so 
that instead of numerous shades of creed, 
represented by scattered efforts put forth 
in wayside school houses or other isolated 
church buildings, with ill-paid pastorates, 
there shall be one church building cen¬ 
trally located that can command a well- 
salaried leader, trained for special ser¬ 
vice, who has a spirit in harmony with 
the needs of the country life. Such an 
ideal should be the goal toward which 
every modern, progressive rural communi¬ 
ty should strive. And these are the vital 
questions to which the common people are 
awakening; how to keep the boys and 
girls contented with farm life; how to 
direct their inherent tendencies, so that 
they may develop social, mental and 
spiritual qualities, without going outside 
of their immediate environments. 
In some of our counties—especially in 
Kansas—the boys are being trained 
through the agencies of the County Y. M. 
C. A., and the girls in the science of 
domestic economy, which tend to give 
them a broader outlook on the dignity 
of labor, as well as to raise the standard 
of efficiency. The people’s church is 
talked of as a social center, or place of 
common meeting ground, where neighbors 
may gather during the week to discuss 
questions of mutual interest for the pub¬ 
lic good. It will be looked upon as a 
place to develop also the social as well 
as the spiritual life of the community. 
Religion is coming to be looked upon as 
having a more direct bearing on the prac¬ 
tical everyday issues of life than former¬ 
ly. It is coming to be understood that 
whether things are sacred or secular de¬ 
pends entirely upon the spirit that is put 
iuto them. Such a state of affairs, how¬ 
ever, can only be brought about by earn¬ 
est study of people who are learning to 
think for themselves, and become willing 
to lay aside all prejudices or minor con¬ 
siderations for the good of the whole. 
Leaders must he sought who are in 
touch with every phase of progress, and 
deeply interested in the higher life of the 
people as well. As one wisely puts it. 
“A minister for the country church at the 
present time should take a course at the 
agricultural college instead of the theo¬ 
logical seminary.” After a careful sur¬ 
vey of tire whole subject I am inclined to 
the opinion he should have a thorough 
training in both, to meet the growing 
needs of the country church of tomorrow. 
There is no reason, either, why such a 
community should uot raise up efficient 
leaders among themselves.

Economy of the Bell System 
Consider this significant 
fact: While most of the neces¬ 
saries of life have gone up, 
the price of telephone service, 
which is one of the essential 
factors in our commercial and 
social life, has moved steadily 
downward. 
Although a pound of these 
necessities still contains but 
sixteen ounces, the telephone 
user has been getting more and 
more service for less money. 
On the average, the people 
of this country pay 49% more 
today for food, fuel and cloth¬ 
ing than they did in 1895. 
Since then, the decrease in the 
average rates for telephone 
service has been more than 
one-half. 
At the same time, the effi¬ 
ciency and value of the service 
to the subscriber has vastly 
increased. Today he can taik 
to an average of five times as 
many persons in each ex¬ 
change as he could eighteen 
years ago. 
This is the inevitable re¬ 
sult of the comprehensive 
policy of the Bell System, 
which brings together the as¬ 
sociated Bell companies and 
the communities they serve. 
Through the very size and 
efficiency of their organization 
they accomplish improve¬ 
ments and effect economies 
which give the greatest ser¬ 
vice at the lowest rates. 
No common thing is held apart 
From us, or pent with lock and key, 
But in the goodness of his heart 
They are all made for you and me. 
It always seems God loves the best 
Things He makes the commonest.
