POINTS ON SUMMER DRINKS.
You eau Got Them Suited for Auy Degree
of Temperature.
Nor York Wotld
Now is the time for cool, refreshing
summer drinks OF the temperance va
riety. The soda water people, the min
eral water men and the inventors of
combinations OF sweets and acids in
drinks have rolled up their sleeves for
the harvest that hot weather always
brings. The druggist and confectionery
dealers have secured up Their fountains,
bought up new assortment of glasses
and telephoned the ice man TO double
the order. The business in mixed tenn
perance drinks and coolingcombinations
has grown with astonishing PAGES, and
nearly every man who owns an outfit OF
syrups has experimental until he has
discovered new beverage, which he is
advertising as the best thing out.
The manager OF well-knOwn Broad
way pharmacy gave a reporter some
points on how to keep cool while the
thermometer is trying to crowd out OF
the top OF the tube.
"There can be no doubt" he said, MS
he ran his eye over about fifty different
names OF ConcoCtions, "that the ideal
temperance drink will eventually prove
to be serious competitor to that drink
which contains alcohol. Already so far
this year the business has increased
nearly 500 per cent verthat OF last year.
This Increase has stimulated ingenuity
in the connecting OF new beverages.
Not u week passes by but some new veg
etable extract or essence is utilized
which is calculated to tickle the palate
and afford an almost unending variety
to select from. Already there are $50
different kinds OF temperance drinks on
the market. Not one of these is iniu-
rious to the human stomach. To give
you an idea Of how this trade is growing
It is only necessary for me TO say that
5000 persons daily drink over this coun-
ter, and at least fifty fountains OF soda
water are required daily. These foun.
tains vary from ten TO fifteen gallons
each, making 8, 900 quarts that are drunk
every twenty.four hours"
"What aresome OF these new drinks"
"Quince soda, pear soda, apricot juice,
the Juice OF the blue plum, Appropriation
made from the scuppernOnggrape which
is grown in Georgia; tamarind, n South
American prunelle, and q drink called
the Grenadine-an imported fruit from
Marseiiies. The latter is q French pa
triotic drink which Is a tayorlte OF Gem
eral Boulangcr. One OF the very latest
drinks is called Bovaline, made from an
extract OF beef. Another is matted
milk, preparation which is obtained by
using the matted milk food, which is
made in Wisconsin, and is avery marked
help to digestion. A drink which has
become very popular OF late is clam
broth. This is highly recommended by
physicians. It has almost entirely su-
perseded the demand for oyster broth"

facture?"
"Yes, almost entirely; with the ex-
ception OF Currant, red cherry, straw,
berry and raspberry syrups, they are all
manufactured in this country and are
made from pure, ripe, sound fruit. II
