Secret of the Famous

Haven't you often wondered what
was the secret of the famous "beaten
biscuit" of the South? Here 1t is,

into it-and that's the secret.
2 cups flour. tbs. fat.

we'll mixed add enough cold water to
make a stiff dough and knead until

until the dough bisters. Pinch off
small pieces of the dough and after
rolling into ball flatten out by

Making Peach Tapioca,
Using Canned Goods

One of the desserts "that mother

the apples that have been stored for
the winter come into use and apple
tapioca is also made. The bureau of

Study Seeks to Clear
Mystery in Cell Life

New Haven, Commissioning to learn
more about fundamentals of the prin-
ciples and the evolution of life, re.
search is under way in Osborn Zoolog-
ical laboratory here into the puzzling
ability of one-cell animal to recon.
struct itself every 25 or 30 days.
The animal is the parmecium and
the research is under direction of DR..
Lorande L. Woodruff, professor OF
protozoology.
The unusual factor in the periodic
renewal is that it occurs without mat.
ing or fertilization, which is the or
binary way of cell life regeneration
Each renewal is accompanied by in.
crease in vigor of the animal.
The application of such research
lies in the fact that anything which
helps explain the life of single cells
may lead to knowledge that can be
used ultimately for the direct benefit
OF mankind, because the human body
is structure Of countless separate
co-ordinated cells.

Savant Gets $4,000
to Relieve His Poverty

London.-The Daily Mail says that
it has learned that the poverty of a
man who has given his life to combat
ing malaria has been relieved by the
purchase of his papers for $4,000 by
Lady Houston, wealthy widow of Sit
Robert Houston.
Sir Ronald Ross 30 years ago was
one of the men who discovered that
malaria is carried by mosquitoes. This
discovery led to eradication of the
fever which was endangering the COM
pletion of the Panama canal. He was
given his title, but no other public
reward.
Now at the age Of seventy-one, seri-
ously ill and with the use Of one arm
gone, he has been living close to want
in tiny flat here. He offered the
papers and books of his lifetime Of
study for sale to relieve his distress.

MAKING VINEGAR
FROM ANY FRUIT
Good Quality Product Made
From Various Material.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Vinegar is not necessarily made
from apples, although many Of the
late and windfall apples are utilized
in this way. Vinegar can be made
from any fruit, or, in fact, from any
material which contains enough sugar
and is in no way Objectionable, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Vinegar of good
quality can be made from oranges,
persimmons, pears, various berries,
honey, maple products, watermelon,
and grains. Large quantities of some
Of the fruits mentioned are wasted
each year in the United States.
In England vinegar was first made
from malt liquors, method of dlspos-
ing of ale and beer which had soured.
Malt vinegar is still the standard In
the British Isles. Here apple juice is
largely used for homemade vinegar,
and cider vinegar is considered the
standard for household purposes.
Whether 1t is done on small scale
in the home, on larger scale on the
farm, or on still larger scale in the
factory, the production Of vinegar is
the result Of two distinct fermenta
ton processes-an alcoholic fermenta-
ton followed by an acetic fermenta-
ton. Sugar is the base of vinegar
| production. Any watery solution of
fermentable sugar may be trans
formed into vinegar under favor
able conditions. Many fruit juices are
well suited to this purpose, as they
contain sugar in the proper proportion
and other necessary or desirable sub.
stances.
Distilled or spirit vinegar made
from molasses or alcohol obtained by
by-product from the manufacture
of other products, notably compressed
yeast, is nearly always colorless ant
lacks the aroma and flavor of frui
vinegars. For this reason 1t Is no
commonly desired for table use, but II
extensively used for picking or pre-
serving.
Directions for making any Of thu
above-named fruit and other vinegars
will be furnished by the United States
Department of Agriculture.

Bates has started q movement to
have PENIS body removed to Pennsyl-

stone, he says, is almost illegible.
The burial plot, which, Bates re.
ports, appears to be private one, also
contains the bodies of PENIS two
wives, Gulielma and Hannah, and
their children.
The former congressman suggests
that the condition of the state foun-
ders resting place be called to the at

vania in the hope that he may recon-
mend to the legislature the appoint
