slice of lime float on the surface. This
makes a very delicious and refreshing
drink, and it is not strong in spite of
the rum. Jamaican planters say that
when a man has once tasted this punch
he will never want to drink anything
else.
Here are some drinks which are
equally as good as the West Indian
beverages referred to, and which are
very popular in other tropical or sub
tropical countries:
Claret Sizz-This is the drink that
cools the sizzling throat of the Cali
fornia rancher in the burning San
Joaquin Valley, where vineyards are
cultivated and, consequently, claret is
cheap.
To about a pint of water put a
spoonful of bi-carbonate of soda and
about twice as much sugar. Pour into
this mixture as much claret as de-
sired. 1t will turn black as ink, but
there is no need to be alarmed at this.
Then dissolve about half a teaspoon
full of tartaric acid In a separate glass
and pour the two mixtures together
into a larger glass. The drink will
then demonstrate its right to the name
1t bears by sizzling violently.
Cocoanut Punch is a favorite drink
In all tropical sea coast countries. The
first and principal ingredient for this
drink is a young green cocoanut, the
husk of which is still PUPPY. Young
cocoanuts are hard to obtain here, but
recently arrived consignments from, the
East Indies sometimes contain them.
Cut open the top of the cocoanut shell,
pour in some rum in a quantity to
suit, and add a tablespoonful of sugar
and a lump of ice.
The pure milk of a young cocoanut
is good as a summer drink by itself,
having all the tartness of fruit phos-
pilates.
Watermelon lemonade Is beloved by
Germans in certain parts of our South
ern states. Pick a ripe melon and
through the stump of the stem drive in
a glass tube, the other end of which
is placed in a bowl of claret. Milk,
rum, or limejuice may be substituted
for the claret, to suit individual tastes.
The melon should be left so for several
days, the lower end of the glass tube
not being uncovered. Then cut the
melon in halves and squeeze out the
juice of the red flesh, not forgetting
the ice.
Shandy Calf, dear the the heart of
Cne Australian cOlOn1SU ana TO Ine
Englishman all over the world, is a
simple drink IT is an acquired taste
but, once acquired, it is never lost
The drink consists of equal portions
of beer and ginger ale well shaken
For women and children, two portions
of ginger ale are given to one of beer
The beer must be of the best quality
and light.
Orange peel is a delightful flavor for
almost any kind of drink. Carefully
cut a thin peel, allowing none of the
white pulp to adhere. Place in a bot
tie and barely cover with rum or
brandy, and leave 1t ostand for a
week. Then use with water according
to taste. This is a powerful flavor
and should be used sparingly.
-Aseptic hair-dressing and electric
hair brushing are very much talked
about. In aseptic saloons microbes of
disease find no place, for the chairs
upon which the customer sits to be
shampooed are not stuffed and COW
cred but are made of iron, and, like
all the implements used in the pro-
cesses of shampooing, drying, cutting,
waving and dressing the hair are
sterilized before and after each period
of employment. To obtain perfect asep-
ticism even the walls are sterilized
There are no corners to the rooms.
and, Of course, no curtains or floor
coverings.
