directions: Dissolve thoroughly in two
gallons of warm soft water one quart
jar of extracted honey. Give it al an6
keep it in a warm place where 1T will
ferment and make excellent vinegar.

More About S O s Signal

1--WE read with interest and some
amusement B. w. LIS answer to B. S
inquiry in regard to the o S signal.
This question has been answered in the
technical press many times, and it is
almost inconceivable how an ex-operator
should make this mistake. The signal
o was chosen because of it's SIM
plcity and because it could hardly be
mistaken for any other signal. 1t does
not and never did mean stop other serv-

up direct with B. w. L. II. T. B.

curdle? I have tried and tried, but it
will curdle. 1 have followed the direc-

hope some day to be able to help some

not comprehend why the milk should cur
die in either of the instances you cite
if it is fresh and sweet. Try adding
pinch of soda to the hot milk before mix

necessary before pouring it into the plates

Tomato cream soup: Two cups of fresh
tomatoes, chopped fine; one pint of strong
stock or skinned gravy, one cup Of
bread crumbs soaked for half an hour in
hot milk, one teaspoon of white sugar. one
tablespoon of onion juice, pepper and
salt to taste one tablespoon of butter

chopped parsley. Cook together for five
minutes, run through a vegetable press,
stir in the stock and seasoning, and re-
turn to the fire. Simmer 20 minutes and
add soaked crumbs and parsley; cook to-
gether five minutes, stirring in as much
baking soda as will lie upon dime, and
send in at once. You may use canned to-
matoes for this recipe if you have not

conditions of living which this very gar
ment helps to encoura ge-although it Is
far from being a foundation cause-are
responsible for the often unsightly busts
of modern women. The corset is a pal
liative, and not cure. 1t is also an un-
doubted fact that the easy support given
by the high busted corset tends to in
crease the size. Why should it not?
However, when it comes right down to
the point of action, these women who
have become used to the wearing of a
corset will declare that they cannot go
without one, no matter what reasonable
arguments are advanced against it. Habit
is stronger than all the kings men. And
women who have once known the de-
lights of uncorseted, easy breathing free
dom cannot be induced to resume the
harness. With the former it is a matter
OF yielding to custom well as to habit.
1t requires thought and inn ovation to de-
sign clothes suitable to the uncorSeted
figure. The present fashions certainly
are not given much thought, with their
ugly dividing line at the waist.
