FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS OF QUALITY 
HE LARGE crowds around the Wolff booth 
at the First Hosehold Show held in Chicago, 
which just came to a successful close, re- 
vealed to us the increasing demand for modern 
sanitary plumbing goods. 
Our aim was to show a line of fixtures that 
would be a credit to any home and within the 
reach of any purse. 
You—who have not had the opportunity of 
seeing this exhibit, can secure an illustrated book- 
let, showing bath rooms from the modest three- 
piece fixtures to the most elaborate. 
A postal will bring it.

using it. Make a pint of strong lemonade, 
use half a large juicy orange, then mix the 
lemonade and pineapple together with the 
white of an egg beaten up stiff. When 
thoroughly mixed together strain and just 
before freezing add a wine glass of sherry. 
No ice is more refreshing and delicious. 
ORANGE SHERBET 
Orange Sherbet is likely to be rather in- 
sipid if not properly made, but if it is suf- 
ficiently strong when mixed it will equal 
any sherbet. Grate the peel from four 
good-sized oranges and two lemons. Put 
this in a fine sieve—pour over it several 
times one quart of water. At the last put 
the juice in the water from both oranges 
and lemons and sweeten to taste. The oil 
from the peel of both lemons and oranges 
gives a very agreeable flavor. To a quart 
of the mixture add the white of one beaten 
egg. 
COOLING DRINKS FOR THE THIRSTY 
Tea punch sounds perhaps not very at- 
tractive, but when concocted in the follow- 
ing way is “a drink for the gods.” The in- 
gredients are: one quart of strong tea 
made from green tea, three quarters of a 
pound of sugar, the juice of five lemons 
and a half a pint of Jamaica rum. Squeeze 
the lemons and mix the juice with the sugar. 
Put the lemon skins in a bowl and pour the 
freshly drawn tea over them. Allow the 
tea to remain on the lemon skins until it is 
cold, then strain it from the skins and add 
the lemon juice, sugar and rum. Serve in 
tall ale glasses, fill the glass two thirds full 
with finely cracked ice; if you find that you 
have made the tea too strong, dilute it with 
a little water, then it would be well to add 
a small quantity of rum. This is the cup 
that cools, cheers and if too much is not 
consumed will not inebriate. 
There is iced tea and iced tea. It is not a 
drink to be carelessly put together, as most 
people think. It can be far from agreeable, 
or is most refreshing and delicious if 
properly made. A pot of good strong tea 
should be brewed in the morning and 
poured off into a pitcher and the pitcher set 
on the ice where the tea will become thor- 
oughly cool. Squeeze the juice from three 
or four lemons and sweeten it preparatory 
to blending the tea and lemon juice at night. 
Before serving dilute the tea not quite so 
weak as is palatable as it will be weakened 
by the ice with which the glasses should be 
half filled, the ice cracked of course in small 
pieces. Have lemons sliced thin and with 
each glass serve two slices for appearance 
sake as well as for the flavor given by the 
rind. A very nice tasty addition is a small 
quantity of rum or a half dozen whole 
cloves allowed to soak in the tea all day. 
The cloves add a spicy flavor that is very 
pleasant. Tall thin glasses such as are used 
at soda water fountains are particularly de- 
sirable to use for iced tea. 
Orange juice prepared as follows as a 
drink, is particularly good in the morning 
before breakfast, or for invalids; not only 
is it refreshing but it is nourishing as well. 
Squeeze the juice of a large orange into a 
glass in which there is cracked ice, beat up 
an egg both white and yolk and when light 
mix thoroughly with the orange juice. As 
a last touch before serving put a small 
quantity of vichy or soda in just to liven 
up the drink a bit, but not enough to 
dilute it. 
A most agreeable combination for a drink 
is strong lemonade ice cold and ginger ale. 
To a quart of lemonade in which five 
lemons and one orange has been used, add a 
bottle of ginger ale. With bits of tinkling 
ice through it and a sprig of mint on the 
top one could not wish for a more tempting 
drink.
