My remarks on the above are few and simple.
It is this very Jesuitical logic which has earned
the " prohibitionists " the contempt of all friends

Now for a few hints as to some non-alcoholic
beverages. And first of all let it be stated that
the thirsty man can do much worse than turn to

bottled flatulence which is sold, and freely adver

cottage which can boast of good accommodation
for travellers^ and a bicycle shed.
The iced
fruit-fizzers of Mr. Sainsbury—where the pick-

office, are, to my personal knowledge, freely
patronized in summer-time by habitual worshippers

of the sport of kings would rather go without
whisky all the afternoon than miss his cup of
tea, after business hours.
No directions are

brands of cocoa.
