Hot broth, beef tea or beef essence
can be bought, but are far better
made at home; hot milk, ginger tea,
cayenne pepper tea, and an article
called tabasco, which is hotter than
ordinary cayenne. Grated drinks s.
lemon soda, zoedone and ginger ale-can
be kept in the house, and are harmless,
the tang being given by fixed air; the
homemade beers, on the contrary, are
treacherous, the life depending directly
on fermentation. Refreshing drinks
are cold milk, buttermilk, whey, drinks
from lemon and other acid fruits and
dilute phosphoric acid. A few drops
in water, sweetened, makes a pleasant
drink, and ten cents worth will last
for months. Oatmeal water, just a
handful in o pitcher of water. This is
both refreshing and strengthening,
especially in summer.
In the Baldwin locomotive shops,
where about 5000 men are employed,
this is kept on hand in large quanti-
ties, and, strange to say, even drinking
men grow fond of it. They say that
when they drink it they don't seem to
want their beer. Juicy fruits-apples,
oranges, melons, etc. The surest way
to bring up children not to care for
alcohol is to accustom them early to
liking all sorts of fruit. The lecturer
spoke in the strongest terms of the
misery caused by physicians by the
reckless prescribing of alcoholic stimu-
lants to patients, without word of in
quiry as to the habits or the inherited
tendencies of the individual.

How to Help a Man Who Swears or.

A large audience assembled ats
Franklin Institute hall, Philadelphia,
recently, to hear the last lecture of the
New Century Course for Women. Sug-
gestions contributed by DIR. Joseph
Parrish, OF New Jersey, DR.. r. p. IIar-
ris, of the Franklin home, DR.. Joseph
Knapp, of the Washingtonian home,
Dr. Z. ID. Crothers, of the Hospital fer
lnebriates in Hartford, Conn.,, DR..
Chas. Mohr, secretary Of the Pennsyl-
vania Homeopathic State society, and
many others, were read.
Mr.. c. Gibbons, superintendent Of
the Franklin home, made an earnest
appeal to women for patience with the
men whose weakness has tried them so
sorely, and who suffer 50 deeply them
selves in their efforts to reform. Very
interesting addresses followed from
Mr.. 5. p. Goodwin, founder of the
home, and the Rev. Chas. G.. Amos.
All agreed that the safest of all ways
to stop drinking is to stop short off
from all stimulation whatever. hot
drinks, cold drinks, bitters and all the
list.
The Philadelphia Ledger sets down
some of the advice given for the bene-
lit of those to whom such break
would be an impossibility. For such
let the house mother always have On
hand something hot, or tonic, or re-
fresEing, to tide over for the hour the
agonizing demand of the body for
stimulation. Hot rinks-coffee
sometimes tea, cocoa. either ground or
in the form of shells or cracked cocoa.
