A FEW SI'GCESTIONS OF COLD INTERNAL arr La

As genero, thing whiskey is not TO be recon-
mended as a summer drink Nothing else at present
threatens such ruin to this country as mixed drinks
containing whiskey II spirits are to be used az all
the best Is GIN II Is the best for several reasons
one OF which Is that II is the cheapest and there
fore the least often aduerated The typical alcoholic
| summer drink Ia the gin fzz. IL Is worth more
than II costs TO give an honest Englishman his first
| Gin nzz and watch It's effect him. The impress
| glons produced by Niagara Falls and the American
Tract Society Building nothing to IT, II Is often
| the foundation OF long and deep admiration OF
American institutions He has come. II must be
| remembered from country where cracked ice
| is still looked upon with suspicion as foreign
| innovation and where the ideal OF an elaboratey
| mixed drink is Scotch whiskey and soda
| A valuable variation Of the gin fzz Is the John
| Collins This is a gin hrz Of double or more than
| double the size and made with English club soda
for the benefit OF out -of-,own readers. New-fork
man got back from Chicago alive the other day and
told OF his get John Collins In that city.
| As soon IA he ordered H. he said the oarkeeper
disappeared behind the bar. The customer got tired
OF waiting and drummed the bar. but the bar
keeper was still invisible At last the NEWCOMER

buttermilk on a warm night last summer the
writer asked for a John Collins at an American bar
| in London He chose 1t partly because he thought
It was Just what he needed. and partly because 1t
was one OF the few drinks on the long printed list
| that he had heard OF before. After long
wait for American bars in London. bad as they are.
are usually crowded. the barkeeper mixed an ordin-
airy gin nzs-very ordnary-with settler. in a glass
holding less than half pint II was not bad, Out
Il was not a John Collins.
Another variation Of the gin izz that Is better for
| the moderate drinker and worse for the excessive
drinker. Is the gin rckey which was introduced last
summer. The difference is that II Is made with
| lines instead OF lemons. and that the drtnker Is
| allowed to pour in the gin for himself This. OF
course gives a chance for the moderate drinker to
take less and for the drnker to take more
| than he would get In an ordinary gin hzz This
| drink became rapidly popular last summer that
downtown barroom doing good business used
| about bushel OF lines day in making II.
II the gin nzz Is the typical alcoholic drink or
summer this typical non-alcohoc drink is It's near
est OF kim the ordinary. plain od-fashioned lemon
adc II would By waste Of space even TO enumer-
the varieties OF this honored drink. from that OF
the circus that OF the school picnic or TO
tell how II may be made with any kind OF still or
sparkling water. from the public supply OF Jersey
| city English club soda. The latter Is the best
OF all. The English club soda lemonade Is the prod
| net known In England as lemon squash II Is not
| usually equal to the American product because OF
want OF cracked ice. The finest lemon squashes in
| England made at the Red Horse Hotel In STRAIT
| ford ON Avon Warwickshre. A man not OF intern
perate habits. sitting In the bar OF the Red Horse.
has been known to drink five lemon sQuashes In
one evening and to resist with difficulty the urging
OF his friends to drink more OF them for record.
People have come from all over the world to drink
