Two or three teaspoonfuls of this stirred briskly in a tumbler of water will make a very pleasant glass of lemonade. If effervescent lemonade be desired, Yi oz. of carbonate of soda must be added to the above.

MILK AND SELTZER. (Use a medium-sized b ar glass.)

In serving this drink, which is strictly temperance, half fill the glass with Seltzer, and the rest with milk; if it is done otherwise y ou will have nothing but foam in your glass , which would cause delay.

NECTAR.

I dr. citric acid. 1 sc. bicarbonate of potash. 1 oz white sugar, p owder ed.

Fill a soda-water bottle n early full of water, drop in the potash and sugar, and lastly, the citric acid. Cork the bottle up immediately and shake.
