In the HAY and Harvest Field

People drink too eOpiOusly of ice
cold water, and every summer the list
of deaths from this cause is a long
one. Excessive drinking of ice-cold
water becomes as much of habit as
some other forms of drinking. If ice
cold water be used to reduce the tenn
perature of ordinary well-water
'half-and-half," 1t will be found to
quench thirst quite as readily as when
taken into the stomach at the melting
point of ice (32O }, and there will be no
danger of SunStrOke and sudden pros
tration in the hay field" Still better
than ice-water is some prepared drink,
to be taken in moderate quantities.
Nothing Is better for those who work
in the hay and harvest field than the
old-fashioned ''Switchell." This Is
water, sweetened with mOlasSes, to
which are added vinegar and ground
ginger. We do not know of any def
mite proportions, as the ingredients are
usually mixed according to taste"
1t is most refreshing draught, and if
cooled by adding moderate quantity
of ice, the ginger prevents any I'M
pleasant effects. Another capital
drink for workmen in the field Is Tea
