Bounty on Rat Tail ;
Small Boys Collect

Bay City, Mich., Nov. 14. A new

then it developed that some of the

even small pigtails with the rat ap
pendages. Rat tails now are "void if de

The taste is unforgetable. The
reason lies in the oven baking '

But the delicacy of the dish
is enhanced by the luscious
tomato sauce which Heinz
makes so well from the
