Fruits for Making Vinegar.

Vinegar is usually made from apples,
although grapes and oranges are also
used to some extent. Certain other
fruits, such as blackberries, figs,
peaches, watermelons (after concentra-
ton of juice, sorghum and cane strip
have been used with good results. Many
wild fruits, such as the blackberry, ell
derberry, and persimmOn, which ire
cuently are not completely or properly
utilized, will make excellent vinegar.
AS a matter of fact, any wholesome
fruit or vegetable juice can be used for
vinegar making, provided it contains
sufficient ,ugar. Some fruits, such as
the guava or Kieffer pear, contain only
five to eight per cent Of sugar, which
is not sufficient to make strong, sat
isfactory vinegar.
Fruit used for making vinegar
should be sound and fully ripe, for
ripe fruit contains more sugar and con-
sequently produces stronger vinegar.
Partially decayed fruit is no better for
vinegar making than for eating and
should not be used Select sound, ripe
fruit, wash thoroughly, and remove all
decayed portions. Crush either in a
machine made for this purpose, such as
a cider mill, or for small quantities,
a food chopper. Squeeze out the
Juice in a press and put into a clean
barrel, keg or crock for fermentation.
Great care should be taken to have
all the utensils thoroughly cleaned,
and to handle the fruit in clearly
manner. If old kegs or barrels, espe-
cially old vinegar barrels, are used.
they should be cleansed thoroughly
and all traces of the old vinegar re-
moved. If this is not done the old
vinegar will interfere with the alco-
holic fermentation and possibly spoil
the product.

mother" which has fallen to the bot
tom is no longer producing acetic
acid.
Keep in Dark Place.
After adding the vinegar, cover with
a cloth and keep in a dark place be-
tween 70 and 80 degrees. Do no dis
turb the film that forms, for this is the
true mother" and do not exclude the
air. Taste the juice every week, and
when it ceases to increase in acid or
is as sour as desired, siphon off and
store in kegs or bottles. Fill full and
stopper tight. If this is not done the
acid will gradually disappear and the
vinegar will turn to water" The
same bacteria that produces the acid
will also destroy it if allowed to grow
unhindered. If the directions are fol-
lowed, especially as regards tempera-
ture, the process will usually be COM
pleted in six weeks to two months,
where only few gallons Of juice are
used.
Many fruit juices are turbid after
fermentation, while others, particularly
apple vinegar, may clarity themselves
spontaneously. One of the simplest
ways Of filtration to use in the home
manufacture of vinegar is to thorough
ly mix about a teaspoonful Of fuller's
earth or animal charcoal with a quart
of vinegar and filter through filter pa
per.
1t is a common practice with many
people to make household vinegar from
fruit parings and cores, cold tea, and
even from the water in which potatoes
or other vegetables are boiled. Sugar,
Of course, is added, just as in the case
of fruit juices that do not contain suffi-
cient sugar.

Among inexpensive gifts that are
at the same time elegant and worth
while there are many little conven-
tent articles made of prettily colored,
heavy paper. Telephone and laundry
lists, small portfolios, envelopes in
which to place memoranda, etc., are
among them. Two articles made of
bright blue notified paper are shown
In the picture. The envelope for rec
ipes is made by folding a straight strip
of the paper into a pocket and flap.
The sides of the pocket are fastened
down with little bows of blue ribbon
and the flap is ornamented with a
painted spray of flowers in pink. The
lettering is done in black.
A long strip of the same paper fold
ed over at each end carries one or
more sheets of white paper on which
a telephone list is to be written. Small
white squares outlined with black or
nament it and suggest that this is a
mans list. 1t is tied with bow of
blue ribbon at the top.

Here are two pretty wall pockets to
hang beside or on the dressing table,
ready to hold whatever their owners
choose to put in them. Disks OF card
board covered with gayly printed RID
bon make the frivolous and dainty
pocket at the left. and it is suspended
by plain satin ribbon that ends IN
small bows at the sides. AT the right
two heart-shaped pieces of cardboard
are covered smoothly with red satin
and fastened together. The edges are
finished with narrow putting of ribbon.
and the same ribbon serves to sus-
pend the pocket. This smooth and
matter-of-fact affair is evidently in
tended as gift for a man. Two
hearts with but single pocket are
quite meaningful. But one might use
a diamond, spade or even a club to
make similar pocket. and anyone OF
them will hold a deck of cards, score

DETERMINE AGE OF CHICKEN
Good Method Is to Grasp End Of
Breast Bone Between Thumb and
Finger and Bend 1t.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
A good method of determining the
age of dressed fowls, according to spe-
cialists Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, is to grasp the
end of the breast bone farthest from
the head between the thumb and finger
and attempt to bend it to one side.
In a very young bird, such as a broil-
err chicken or a green goose, it will
bend easily like the cartilage Of the
human ear. In bird year or so old,
it will be brittle and, in an old bird,
tough and hard to bend or break. I'm
scrupulous dealers sometimes break
one end of the breast bone before
showing the bird on the market, in
order that the buyer will believe the
bird to be a young one.

Vinegar is one of the condiments
which every good cook regards as
necessity on her pantry shelves. Used
with discretion, food to which it is
added will be transformed into relish
and will give zest to an otherwise in
sipid meal. Along with other grocer
les, vinegar has gone up in price since
the great war, until in many parts
of the country so to go cents gallon
Is now the retail market price. The
making of vinegar at home is SIM

was practiced by nearly every one
who could obtain the necessary fruit

vinegar there has been a revival Of
this old household art. Those who
have set up vinegar key or barrel,
secure a superior product and at the
same time beat old High Cost Of Liv-
ing.

Start Fermentation.

After the juice has been squeezed
out add a fresh yeast cake to every
FIVE gallons of juice. A good fermenta-
ton often results from chance inocu-
lation with the wild yeast of the
air. This is the method ordinarily fol-
lowed in making cider vinegar. Ex-
periments have shown, however, that a
much stronger vinegar can be made
by using yeast to start the fermenta-
ton. Work the yeast up thoroughly
In about one-half cupful of the juice
and add to the expressed juice, STIR
ring thoroughly. Cover with a cloth
to keep insects from it and allow to
ferment. The best temperature for
fermentation is between so and 80 de-
grees. Do not put in cold cellar or
the fermentation will be too slow. At
so to 80 degrees alcoholic fermenta-
ton will usually be complete in from
three to four days to a week, or when
working" starts, as indicated by the
cessation of bubbling. The next step
in the process is acetic acid fermenta-
ton, during which the alcohol Is
changed into acetic acid.
After the bubbling stops it will be
found advantageous to add some good
strong vinegar in the proportion of one
gallon of vinegar to three or four GAL
Ions of fermented juice. Usually, how
ever, no vinegar is added and the in
oculation of the fermented juice with
acetic acid bacteria is left TO chance.
This chance incubation generally pro-
duces more or less satisfactory prod
uct, but if the vinegar is added, the
results are much better. Instead Of
vinegar one may add a good quantity
of so-called mother" If mother" is
used, however. use only that growing

RED CROSS XMAS SEAL
 IDEA CAME FROM NORWAY

The Red Cross Christmas Seal war originated in 1907 by Miss Emily 8P. Bissell of Wilmington. Delaware. who learned through Jacob Ris of some what similar seals that were sold in Norway for the purpose of raising funds with which to fight tuberculosis. Miss Bissell persuaded the American Red Cross to take up the idea with the result that seals were sold in a limited number of communities in 1908. The sale yielded revenue of approximately s3,000. The Red Cross then decided to issue the seal each year and to turn the proceeds over to the National Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated societies for the puT- pose of financing the campaign against tuberculosis. The number of seals sol din America increased by leaps anG bounds until in 1917 the to- tai reached 1S0000, 900.
 This year the seals are again on sale beginning December 1st. More ths1> half a billion seals have been printed for distribution to state and local l agents. In addition to the seals Health Bonds in denominations ranging from s5 to S100 are to be sold in lieu of seals to large contributors I who do not send out sufficient quan- | tity of mail in December to make use

HOT WATER f()R
 SICK HEADACHES Tells why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate
 in it before hreakfaxt.


 Headaches are caused by auto 7intox- ieation-whieh means self poisoning Liver and bowel poisens called toxins, sucked into the blood excite the heart which pumps the blood SO fast that it congests in the smaller arteries and veins of the head, producing violent, throbbing pain and distress, called headache. You become nervous. de- spondent, sick, feyerish and miserable, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilid, aspirin or the bronides, which tenn porarily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irritating toxins.
 A glass of hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, drank before breakfast will not only wash these poisons from your system and cure you of headache, but will cleanse, purify and freshen' the a1i- mentary canal. .e.-s Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate, It is inexpensive, harmless as sugar.
 If you aren't feeling your best, if tongue is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul breath or have colds indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos- phated hot water cure to rid your sys- tenn of toxins and poisons. s

NEW HIGHWAY BRIDGE GOES OUT OF RusfNEsS

Automobilists who tried to use the new highway bridge over the Thames river between Groton and New Lon don on Thursday found that their ma chimes either had to make step up on. one end of the bridge or step down on the other to get onto the draw. Consequently there was no tra- vel for machines and there had been none since soon after the formal open ing of the bridge at noon Wednesday, $ The accident that put the bridge out of commission happened when the draw had been swung open to alloy a boat to pass through Wednesday af- ternoon. A piston in the operating mechanism broke and it was with diff ffculty that the draw was swung back into place. When it was back. it was found that level of the draw was eith- CT above or below the level of the floor of the bridge so that machines could not be run across it. Many automobil- . ists who sought to go over the bridge late Wednesday found that they could not do so.

FEAR>RRlDGE PATRONAGE
 WILL SAP FERRY RECEIPTS

Now that the new highway bridge over the Thames River between Grot- on and New London has been open ed, the New London city fathers seem to be alarmed lest New London peo- pie should forget that they have a municipal ferry boat, patronizing the new bridge with such enthusiasm that the municipal ferry may fali off ma terially in receipts.
 The city officials remind the New London people that money paid for ferry travel goes into the coffers Of the city, while money paid for bridge travel goes into the coffers of the state. More money for the ferry means more money in the city treas ury and less money to be raised by taxation. Hence, patronize the ferry, is the argument put up to New Lon don people.
