Wholesome cider Vinegar.

In an ordinary cheap restaurant the
safest thing to do if you wish to use
some vinegar on your food is to try and
get half a lemon. Then you will know
that you are not eating out the lining
of your stomach with caustic chemi-
Gals. Vast quantities of ''pure cider
vinegar" are quite innocent of the
meaning of apples and are distinctly
injurious, being purchased by the re-
tail dealer in barrels, at seven to ten
cents a gallon, which every apple grow
er knows is a prohibitive price for
cider vinegar. However, real cider
vinegar is a good condiment. The rea-
son it can not be sold for the prices at
which chemical vinegar is offered is
that it takes from one to three years
to make properly.
The cider first must go through the
process of alcoholization, and then be
changed into acetic acid. There are
methods of artifcially fastening this
process, but the product is not first

The most astonishing feature Of Eu-

by no other country, although Den

Major Alvord's observations show

Called on Capt. Boardman.

Mr. Walter w Daniels called Capt.
Boardman at police headquarters this
morning and expressed the belief that the
body of the man recently found in the
woods Jessups. as heretofore stated
in The Star is that of his son. Walter w.
Daniels, jr, who disappeared from his
home Alb I street northeast, five weeks
ago yesterday. The missing man was
plumber. Shortly before he was last seen
he kissed his wife and three little children
and told his wife to get ready to enjoy an
outing that afternoon.
And said the wife 10 a Star reporter
this afternoon. that's the last I've seen
or heard of him
The father, mother and wife are satisfied
concerning the identity of the body buried
in the woods, and all of them went to Jes-
sups this afternoon with Policeman Sand
berg to get what information they can
about the description of the body and the
clothing found in the woods.
I've known all the time that Walter
was dead" said his mother before she left
the noon train to go to Jessups. You
see.' she added, I'm a born medium and
the spirits have come to me and told me
of his death. Three days after he went
away 1 went TO his house and told his wife
she would never see him alive again"
Policeman Sandberg advised the mother
and wife of the missing plumber that it
would be better for them to remain here,
but they would not listen to him. The
body, as something might appear that
would throw additional light upon the
case. Both women said they could look
upon the body. and the wife asserted that
she could identify it If she could only see
the back of the head 1t is expected that
the members of the party will see the
magistrate who held the inquest and the
doctor who made examination of the
body. If a careful examination was made
by the physician at the time the body was
found. 1t is thought by the relatives, no
trouble will be experienced in the work of
determining upon the identity of the body.
1t is the belief of Mr.. Daniels that his
son went from here to Baltimore, won
money at gaming and was murdered and
robbed while returning home Young Dan
iels had been away before but had always
written to his wife to let her know of his
whereabouts. This Is the first time he
failed to write to her His father said
that when he left home five weeks ago he
met young man and the latter is the one
who last saw him. The body found In the
woods some little distance from the
pike and the clothes were only a few feet
from the road. At the time the first in
vestigation was made some of those en-
gagged in the investigation We're of the
opinion that the body had been brought
there after death. and that the clothing
left in the woods may not have belonged
to the dead man, but may have been
placed there for the purpose of preventing
identification.

Wars between states are not frequent,
and are decidedly shorter-we could hard
ly for instance, think of a hundred years
war, and doubt the possibility of a war
lasting a generation-but the conduct of

retrogression. The evil spirit of the old
ruling class, with Its ambitions and its
thirst for ACKNOWLEDGMENT, has spread

pies are hungering for plumber as much as
ever the old kings and mobiles were. They
want more trade, they say, and by trade
they mean more conquered markets in
which they can establish a monopoly.

they urge their government to risk a war

not fresh air, unless the fan is backed up
against open window. When operating
In an inside room or in similar places,

the same air over and over, and this air
gathers up and keeps in motion all the
available dust. People who don't catch cold
are sometimes affected by this dust, and

way to use fan Is to arrange 1t with re-
