That question about the angle worm is .
good one, Esther. Uncle Msdge says you
are "naturalist." He could not honestly
call me such a name as that, SO dare to
remark that have theory that in q
heavy rain those worms come down from
above. Don't ask me how think they
arrived in the clouds; but many times
have seen robins right after q rainfall,
seemingly just picking up those worms
from the surface OF the ground. Also,
many times on the highway aud other
places minus grass, have noticed the
trail of them all over the ground. Yes,

sensational results have been attained

telegraph wires into metallic circuit OF
the type used for telephone working and
by applying our new apparatus and

in any way impairing the quality OF
telegraph working.
'The nature OF these developments is
such that, If desired, wires may be used

Tomato Vinegar.

In attempting to utilize the tomato
in as many ways as possible, it is not
uncommon practice. especially with
''tomato club" girls, to make what Ia
termed "tomato vinegar" This prod
uct Is not vinegar, although 1t has
q sour taste and to a certain extent, as
in salads and for table purposes, can
be used as a substitute for vinegar
1t is really Tactic acid fermentation
instead of acetic acid and for this rea-
son Is more like sour milk and sauer-
kraut Juice. 1t spoils rapidly after
fermentation unless 1t Is put into bot
ties. filled as full as possible, and
corked tight. After opening and ex-
posure to the air the product will spoil
unless kept very cold. In making this
product the juice is collected and al
lowed to stand in q warm place for a
few days. After 1t becomes sour 1t
should be filtered or strained and
stored in bottles filed full and corked
tight. 1t is said that products of this
type are being used as substitutes for
vinegar in Austria. There appears to
be no reason why such a product could
not be used In salad and meat dress
ings with entire satisfaction.
