Vinegar and Hard Cider.

Q. What is the difference between
vinegar and hard cider? Does vinegar
contain any alcohol and is it intoxicat-
ing? Please tell me if you think grow
ing boys could cultivate the taste for al
cohol by using vinegar on their food.
&C.
A. There is a funda mental difference
between vinegar and hard cider The
latter is much higher in alcohol contain
ing sometimes as much as s to . per
cent. Vinegar, on the other hand, ia ex-
ceedingly low in alcohol, containing only
a fraction of per cent. OF alcohol and
none whatever. The ordinary
alcohol in the cider has been transformed
through acetie fermentation into acetic
acid There is no danger whatever of
anyone contracting taste for alcohol
through any alcohol which may be con-
tanned in vinegar 1t is claimed by some
that the excessive use of condiments.
whether they be vinegar, spices. etc, may
stimulate taste for alcoholic beverages.

How To Cook Whole Wheat.

Q. What is the best way to cook
whole wheat 1.-THE grains as threshed) so
it may be eaten, and how should it be
served? Mrs. S. F.
A. The whole wheat may be slightly
crushed by running it through food cut
ter with a fine plate. Or, the grains may
be cooked whole. In any event they
should be subjected to long cooking: five
OF six hours at least.
II You have a ireless cooker put the
grains in and cook over night. Serving
these grains with sugar and cream with
any kind of fruit makes it delicious,
palatable and nourishing dish.

To Have Dainty Hands.

| The condition of the finger nails is
one of the best tests of the care given
to the toilet. Well groomed finger nails
are, AS far as they go, a mark of refine
ment Needless to say, the toilet for
any social occasion is not complete until
the nails have been thoroughly cleaned,
trimmed and manicured.
The most useful article In the whole
manicure set is the orange stick. This
can be obtained for a trihe at any drug
store. With this the nails can be clean
ed each time the hands are washed and
the skin which adheres to the nails care
fully pushed back. This may also be done
with a dry towel. 1t will prevent the
skin from cracking around the rootS of
the nails and forming hang nails. This
method practiced daily win greatly inn
prove the appearance of the hands.
OF course the nails should never be
bitten. Their shape may be spoiled for
life if this habit is formed, even in
childhood To prevent children from bit
ing their nails. rub bitter aloes on the
tips of the fingers. If this does not eff

til the habit is broken.
Ii is possible for any woman possess
ing average ability to become her own
manicure. II takes only few minutes
each day to put the nails in perfect con
dition, but these few minutes must be
given every day, not once week, or
perhaps a longer time. When attended
