Difference In Vinegar. What a difference in table vinegars! Some have a coarse acidity that is most pronounced. And for just a bit more than you usually pay you will find them of unusual mellowness and of much greater strength than the ordinary vinegar.

One instance is covered in the following news story from the Sa vannah News: Doing track work in Pennsylvania is not the soft snap it was claimed to be ard large numbers of the negroes who went from Savannah some time ago are finding even the first touch of fall and the winds that sweep down from the Alleghanies very good reminders that Georgia and especially Savannah are good places during the winter months, so they are treking back. Those who have already arrived —and they are ar riving in small batches daily—are just as gfad to get back as they were to go away, and probably will not venture north again. But despite the fact that the weather from now on is especially forbidding, agents who make luring offers have won over another batch who want to go North, and, according to reports, they will leave tomorrow.

Every now and then one sees a big vehicle shoot by bearing the sign "American Ambulance Corps.’’ The thousands of horses and mules along the road are in good condition. Many of the horses came from Amer ica, and were run down by sea voyage, but after a month’s feeding they prov ed very serviceable. On seeking the mules, one of the officers said: “The demobilization of the Greek army had one very important result for the Allies—it released 10,000 mules which the Greeks had been using, and now these mules are proving invalu able to the Allies.” While the fields back of Verdun are rich with yellow grain, yet there is one melancholy evidence of the war in the burning of manure, usually the very life-blood of the soil. The grain can be gathered by the soldiers and the women who remain, but there is no time to distribute the manure over the land, and so it is burned. The last glimpse of Verdun came as the party passed a detachment of French soldiers, just out of the trench es and going to the rear for rest. They were tired and heavily laden, but hap py and cheerful as they sprung along in irregular ranks, laughing and smoking as though they came from some agreeable occupation. They were all fine-looking young fellows, and they typified that calm and invincible spirit which the young French soldiers are putting into their service. ONLY 21 TYPHOID CASES AMONG 150,000 TROOPS SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. 2.—Since May 1 there have been only 21 cases of typhoid among the 150,000 troops In the Southern department, according to figures announced today by Colonel W.
