What shall we do to get stewed?"
Here are some recipes, handed out
gratis yesterday by a great expert, which
anyone low enough TO wish to fracture
the Constitution of the United States
and break the rehabilitation prohibi-
ton bill may paste in his hat for future
reference.
No less an expert than Tom J. Far
rell assistant manager of the Waldorf.
yesterday limited delicately that, law or
no law, the tired business man who felt
the need of a pickmeup altar July l
next, might accomplish his fell purpose
in a number of ways.
Tom Farrell speaking:
The insistent talk OF prohibition
Bellhop get on the job there and ex-
plain to the gentleman underneath the
palm that he must not snore in Pea
cock Alley-the insistent talk, as I was
saying when interrupted, about pro-
hibltion has resulted in bringing to light
q big wad of old time recipes for max

lation of wines. with only home grown
Harlem ingredients. or Brownsville or
Greenwich Village or University Heights
ingredients, needed to make the beverage

No Temptcr, Says He.
Now far be It from me to tempt any
one to steal away his brains by cooking
up the stufs l have in mind. 1t Is my
belief that any citizen worthy the name,
once the prohibition law goes into effect,
will obey 10 the letter the law which

down with an effort. II had a conversa-

Southern gentleman. The talk proved so
interesting that right away I began to

THE simplest of all is the hum

in some good orchard and stand around
until the tree grows UP. And after the
apple tree has grown and has begun to
bear fruit you pick the apples and dump
them into press. Next you exert pres

"Oh, for Pete's sake. Tom. You
mean that first you get some cider,

Exactly what I had in mind. You
plant the seed and let the tree grow
and you pick the apples and press the
juice out of them. and then you let
the cider stand until it gets hard. Now,
