SALOON Up To-DATF.

The idea of the Home Salpon is TO FUR
nish men with drinks that shall taste
inst Ike beer and whisky, and. in fact
he beer and whisky. yet lack some very
had features Of these drinks as common
ly sold in saloons.
In heer for instance the best grade
Of malt and the best of hops are puI-
chased and mingled by skilltul Prev
ino-house into beer The process Is kept
secret But the result Is that drink IS
obtained that tastes precisely Ike one
favorite schooner IL pops when tresh
and cold il sparklos with a berry sparkle
II ouenches internal fire and bites of the
thirst. IL fcaT7s sufficiently 10 delight inc
bartcnder-yet IL does not intoXicate. IL
is beer without a particle of alcohol or
anything that Stimulates alcohol rms
is served out with free lunches, ana IL
is drunk by thousands who turned up
disguised noses at II at first.
The same way with wines. The good
bishop thinks man wants ana needs
wine. He SAYS there are certain states
of the system when a man must take
q bracer or lack nerve. II he has a try
ing ordeal before him, has been through
a difficult scene, Is i'll. discouraged or
lust thirsty at dinner-real dry-ant
wants wine he should have IT, The Fal-
lows wine Is unfermented, though tasting
Ike the fermented, and he is able 20
produce the different varieties In really
wonderful way. The FalloWs cocktail is
a thing TO whet an appetite and induce
a contented spirit.
'The trouble with the temperance
movement" SAYS the Bishop, lis that
you take away something without Civ
ing anything In return. You take away
q mans drink and you give him only
water Water may quench some peoples
thirst. but 1t doesn't quench others.
Even If IT happens TO quench 1t doesn't
do so pleasantly. There is no pleasure
In slipping a glass Of water and watching
the sparkle creep down in tae glass ana
the color come and 90 in light and dark"
All. a knowing Bishop this!
MANA DRISKER.
"Nor." SAYS he, lis there any sense IN
telling men they do not need 20 drink.
Man is a drinking animal. He VIII get
along without his lunch nicely II nc
has a glass Of something u drink. Ana
he will not complain utterly at the loss
of his dinner as long as the nuid docs
not run short Now, how are you going
m make such men believe that they are
NOT thirsty and that they can get used
10 being dry. and that they are wicked
to think that they are dry al an
In the Home Salon drinks are sold as
at saloons. No questions are asked eX-
cept whats yours?" and no attempt -
made TO eyangelize or missionary
among the men.
AT first the patrons came III slowly
one man 10 whom the beer looked very
cold and sparkling and the glasses very
clean looked askance several days before
venturing I'm. When he walked out ne
was wiping a very pleased mouth upon
his shirt sleeve. az thought they'd give
me a ticket fur church or somethin'
said he, IAN | wasn't agoin' ter mix me
drinks an me religion"
No effort is made TO mix drinks and
religion. and the men car say swear
words" indulge in mild braw,s as much
az In any other saloon and lounge around
the door as long as they please.
The justification OF the Home Salon
,s twofold with the Bishop. He says
first that he is a benefactor TO men. since
he gives them what they want without
adding things that they do not want
dives them the privilege OF drinking with
out the obstacle of getting drunk.
The other Justification is peculiar
one for a member OF the cloth. 1t is
this: That there is money in such a sa-
loon. and that the Lord Is anxious to
have hts followers make money In any
way that brings good TO men. In support
of this the Bishop says:
LIKE HIs puxEsBrP.
I'm England there are 700 Of these sa-
looms, nearly all Of them In London.
Thay are managed bx the Duke OF West
