Show Good Summer Drink for Hard Worker). A very good summer drink is made by putting about two spoonfuls of oatmeal . into a tumbler of water, or, in making a . larger quantity, two and a half pounds of oatmeal in a pail of cool water. It is made still more refreshing by the addition addi-tion of a few slices of lemon, though this is not absolutely necessary.

A wide and long experience, experi-ence, especially in Europe, warrants praise of the virtues of oatmeal water as a summer drink for men engaged in hot and laborious occupations. It is drunk in considerable quantities at many of tie rolling mills, blast furnaces and glass works throughout England and Scotland as well as in this country. It matters not what heat the workman undergoes, ho may consume any desired quantity of the oatmeal water without any injurious consequences whatever. New York Commercial Advertiser. |
