Lemon Should Always Be
Served With Iced Tea
Care Needed to Prevent Getting
Either Tea or Lemon Taste
Too Strong

Lemon should always be served with
iced tea. Care should be exercised,
however, to get the proper blend be-
tween the lemons and tea navors. Meth
er flavor should be allowed to kill the
other. The proper summer tea drink
is one with Just slice of lemon to
cut the stringently bitter tea and make
the beverage smooth and refreshing.
In serving iced tea, much depends
upon the manner Of service. Great care
should be exercised to present the
guest this cooling drink in daintiness.
Also plenty of ice should be in each
glass; a good idea being to let ice
stand in each glass for several minutes
before the tea is poured In This puts
beautiful and inviting frost on tho
outside of each tumbler.
The most beautiful set for serving
cool drinks is the water set now being
distributed to readers by The Age
Herald. 1t consits of three-pint pitcher
and six glasses, each of which holds

ers instead of merchants. He arraigned
their credit systems. their premium
systems, their lack of cooperation
and their jealousies. Mr.. johnson Is an

them.
Retiring Presidents Speech
w w. Ogden. the retiring president,
made a strong speech in which he par-
itrularly pleaded for Birmingham as
the Jobbing center of the south and
the logical place for the Alabama mer-
chant to trade.
II don't believe that anv class of men,
pie have met the changed conditions of
the past year any more readily than the
merchants of Alabama" he said. II be-
iieVe that this has been possible mainly
because Birmingham has grown to be a
market sufficiently large to meet the
needs and necessities of our trade I
nave seen this place grow. from a viii
&e6S " loWIs 1Tp1l Town To the
most important city in the southland. The
iron and steel industries were the foun-
dalton for a natural growth I do not
wish to underestimate their value but
the industries which have proven the
most valuable to the merchants of Ala
bama have been the manufacturing and
jobbing interests of this city
We talk a great deal about catalog
houses, competition and home trade, and
1 recognize that they are things worth
considering, and In considering them
firmly believe that we will be doing both
our state and ourselves a patriotic duty
by patronizing Birmingham's jobbing and
manufacturing interests. l find the men
at the head of these large wholesale dis
trbuting plants fully able to meet the
requirements of the trade of this section
When 1t becomes necessary to buy in
small quantities and buy often, no other
agencies can possibly give the values and
the service. I make the greater portion
of my purchases In Birmingham. I try
to be patriotic, but it is not for patriotic
reasons that do so. / buy here because
I find that it is profitable to my busl-
ness and I wish to say that I consider it
part of our duty to aid and cooperate
with the wholesale distributing agencies
in this city for mutual advancements and
profit
