The Old Family Toddy.

According to a rural paper a cen
trail Kentucky man prides himself IN
the possession of teddy glass that
has been in his family for over cen
fury. The "toddy glass recalls an
old Kentucky custom that was an in
stitution down to ante-bellum days.
The 'toddy glass" was utilized for
the mixing of an old-fashioned toddy
that was passed around and partaken
of by company and the family. The
common toddy existed before the sani-
tary crusade started and individual
toddies became the vogue. In these
DAYS even if prohibition did not stand
in the way, the old-time "toddy glass
likely would be placed under the
health law along with the common
drinking cup.-Loulsville Courier
