A SUMMER DRINK FOR WORKERS
Oatmeal in Water Is Cheaper and Better
Than Beer.

Oatmeal in Water Is Cheaper and Better
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 the
open air has been revived. Farmers
and other employers have for long
time pinned their faith to beer as a
beverage for their workmen, but oat-
meal has for the last few years been
rapidly growing in favor, and aprar-
emily with just cause.
strong support to the advocates Of
oatmeal has been given by a recent ex-
pericncc on the occasion of the convcr-
sion of the broad gauge which has Teen
retained so doggedly by the Great
Western Railway Company in England
to the narrow gauge now adopted uni
versal1y in that country. The CONVEX
sion had to be effected with the utmost
dispatch, and the length of line to be
transformed was over two hundred
niles 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 it's re-.
freshing, thirst-quenching and sustain
ing power was unrescrvcdly 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 mem
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 cricketcr ought to drink.
with the advantage of no undesirable
reaction.
The method of manufacture is sim
pie. Put a liberal lump of ice into a
pail with few handfuls of oatmeai:
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 a swelter-
ing dog day.-Detroit Free Press.
EXCESSIVE Indulgence in strong drink
is the supreme evil of our modern civ
ilization. That is fact which habitua)
but moderate drinkers as we'll as apos-
ties of total abstinence will doubtless
concede as incontcstable. Alcoholism
is the prolific parent of mental, mora!
and physical disease; the recruiting
agency for prison, hospital, al,nshouse
and lunatic asylum. 1t is the curse OF
the most enlightened age in the history
Of the world. --Philadelphia Press.

answer in a thin but clear voice.
"How do you know it is Mr.. W."
asked the other, who may have been
pleased to think that he had such a good
telephone voice. that even an office
boy could recognize it.
"'Cause you're the one what nobody
can ever understand" came back the
prompt reply.
Another office boy, after "tackling"
the telephone, turned and said: "Now
he wants you, Mr.. X-.''
"Tell him that I'm busy as the DEVIL -
said Mr.. u, not knowing just what
he said, but knowing that he was very
busy.
'1ie says" now called back the boy in
the telephone, that he's 'busy-busy

Now one more:
