...eating herbs, but stops short of crediting them with the manufacture of vinegar. Yet he says a dose of vinegar added to a cow's ration guarantees that her calf will be born robust, well furred, and with such inherited smartness that it will take water from a pail without teaching. By extension from animal to human husbandry, Jarvis contends that if a pregnant woman adds honey and vinegar to a well-balanced diet, her baby will have a thick shock of hair and long, strong fingernails, both needing to be cut the day it is born...

And it is a heart-stopping fact to bettors that he begins...

Then came the job hunting: he carried a lunch pail, as if to assure any sharp-eyed foreman that he was ready for work (even though the pail was empty); once, without being hired, he pitched in on a construction crew, hoping that the supervisor would reward his zeal with pay, and got no pay. When he had only 75? left to his name, he latched on to a job as roustabout in the oilfields...
