Beverages.

The custom of drinking to the
Health, happiness and prosperity of
our friends is so old that it is hard
to tell when and where the idea orig
mated An old German superstition
is that it is bad luck to drink anyone's
health with water. Neither the Ger
mans nor anyone else, for that matter,
need to, with the delicious punches
which can be made from the juices of
all kinds of fruits.
The one criticism of most of such
drinks is they are usually made too
sweet; they never quench thirst and
children are often made ill by drink
| ing too much. Fruits like the banana
| or peach should always be combined
with lemons, lines, or other fruits hav-
ing acid juices. When fresh fruits are
not abundant or seasonable, bottled
grape, pineapple, lime and lemon juice,
ginger ale, canned pineapple, cherries
and other fruits are excellent and to
be had the year around.
The foundation for all punches
should be made by first boiling sugar
and water in the proportion of one
pound of sugar to one quart of water
for ten minutes. This syrup may be
made in large quantities and kept bot
tied ready for use at a moments no
tice Cold tea is a good foundation
with the syrup for punches and has
been used for years by the English,
combined with champagne and slight
mixture of the highly favored wines.
A few cloves or sticks of cinnamon
adds flavor and raisins stewed and
cooled are often added.
