A SUMNER DRINK FOR WORKERS
Oatmeal In Water Is Cheaper and Better
Than Beer.

Than Beer.
With the advent of the hot summer
days the old discussion as to the best
drink for sustaining the energies OF
laborers under prolonged effort in tho
open air has been revived. Farmers
and other employers have for long
time pinned their faith to beer as
beverage for their workmen, but oat-
meal has for the last few years been
rapidly growing in favor. and appar-
emily with just cause.
a strong support to tho advocates OF
oatmeal has been given by recent ex-
perience on the occasion Of the CONVEX.
sion of the broad gauge which has been
retained SO doggedly by the Great
Western Railway Company in England
to the narrow gauge now adopted uni
versally in that country. The CONVEX
sion had to be effected with the utmost
dispatch, and the length of line to be
miles. Five thousand men worked two
successive days of seventeen hours
each, with only short intervals for
meals. Throughout this exceptional
strain nothing but oatmeal water was
imbibed by the laborers, and its re-
freshing, st-quenching and sustain
ing power was unreservedly admitted.
Another valuable piece of testimony
to the merit of this modern rival Of
beer is the fact that many cricket clubs
have adopted oatmeal water as the
regulation tipple of their active men,
bers while match is being played. 1t
is found that men play better cricket
and an infinitely better game than
where beer was thought to be the only
thing that cricketer ought to drink.
with the advantage of no undesirable
reaction.
The method of manufacture is sim
pie. Put liberal lump of ice into a
pail with few handfuls of oatmeal;
fill up with water, add the juice of a
lemon and little sugar, only Just
enough to give interest to the decoc-
ton, and the result is drink that any
man will be grateful for on swelter-
ing dog day.-Detroit Free Press.

TEMPERANCE BREvlTlES.

CARRIAGE has always been said to be
cure for intoxication. The Egyptians
ate boiled cabbage before their other
food if they intended to drink wine
after dinner, and some of the remedies
sold as preventive of intoxication on
the continent contain cabbage seed.
SAKE drinking, according to writer
in the American Antiquarian, is one of
the great curses of Japan. In 1879 the
amount of rice converted into sake
amounted to fifteen million bushels.
Pledges to abstain from the habit are
frequent among the picture offerings
in Japanese temples.
EXCESSIVE indulgence in strong drink
is the supreme evil of our modern civ
ilization That is fact which habitual
but moderate drinkers as well as apos-
ties of total abstinence will doubtless
concede as incontestable. Alcoholism
is the prolific parent of mental, moral
and physical disease; the recruiting
agency for prison, hospital, almshouse
and lunatic asylum. 1t is the curse of
the most enlightened age in the history
of the world.-Philadelphia Press.
