1t ShOuld BeeOsne the Natfona1 Drink
In Hot Weather

1t should Become the Nati0.al Drink
In Hot weather
IAN article read by Mrs. ]. F. Sigmon
at the August meeting OF the Lake
Weir. w. c.. T. T.. 1900
Every summer in our large cities ex-
cessively hot weather drives the per-
spring masses to quench their thirst
with various drinks, including alco-
holic well as non-alcoholic bever-
ages. OF the latter there is no end.
But of all the cooling drinks We Ameri-
can people ignore the one drink which
should be the national dring durink
the summer months, viz, hot or cold
tea.
There is absolutely no drink more
refreshing. more fnvigorating, or more
healthful, il properly made. Alas
there is the rub. We want to do every
thing in a hurry; we bolt our food,
and as a result are fast becoming a
nation of dyspeptics.
The making Of tea, although appar-
emily a simple proposition, is as rule
an unknown art in the United States.
simply because of absolute ignorance
or lack OF patience. The brewing of
tea requires fresh water that has come
to a furious boil, sleeping five to nine
minutes. then pouring the liquid of the
tea leaves into another pot, three SIM
pie yet precise requirements absolutely
essential If tea is permitted to con-
tinue to steep Indefinitely the drinker
imbibes tannic acid. Tea thus made is
tea no more, but becomes vile decoc-
ton. a nauseous, malodorous drink,
frightfully injurious and unhealthful.
Iced tea ought to be obtainable in ev-
cry place where drinks are sold.
Lord Kitchener, in the severe cam
paign in the Soudan, permitted no in
ttOxicating drinks, directing that only
tea, hot or cold, be served to his Off
GERS and men, recognizing the Zulu as
an exceptionally willy foe, requiring a
clear brain and never-ending alert
ness to defeat him. 1t is on record
that he was.thanked for this command
| by his officers and men.
Tea is a harmless, beneficial stimu-
liant for invigorating tired brain and

that the women will interest them
selves to produce something to quencf
