Hot Drinks Are Popular

The soda fountain man is with us always now. Time was when he dis-appeared with the end of the heated season, but today his spotless white jacket is as conspicuous in the front of many a store as on the hottest day of August. During the cold months the refrigerant drinks of summer are supplanted by hot lemonade, beef tea, chocolate, bouillon, malted milk and egg phosphate. Oyster cocktail is more popular in winter than in summer, although it is not served hot. It is a wonderful decoction, for which almost every fountain man has his own especial recipe. From present indications the traffic in hot drinks will be larger this winter than ever before.
