LEMONADE. 465 eggs and bottle for use. When wanted put about three teaspoonfuls in a glass and fill part full of cold water and take on the point of a knife or spoon a little soda, stir and drink quickly while foaming. It is harm- less and pleasant and good for fever. POCKET LEMONADE. Lemon sugar is made of tartaric acid, lemon oil and powdered sjugar, in proportion to suit the taste. This is the much-talked-of " pocket lemonade." Persons traveling will find it greatly to their advantage and comfort to have a bottle of this in their lunch-basket. PICNIC LEMONADE. Roll the fruit in granulated sugar that is spread upon a marble or other hard surface, then squeeze them over the sugar and remove their seeds. The juice, thus obtained, may be bottled for the journey and added to water at pleasure. If ice must be carried, select a clear, solid piece and wrap it in a heavy flannel. Carry an ice-pick with it, so that it may be broken up when needed, with as little waste as possible. GINGER LEMONADE. Take half a cup of vinegar, one cup of sugar, two teaspoonfuls gin- ger ; stir well together, put in a quart pitcher and fill with ice-water
