There is peppermint and spearmint and cinnamon and lemon drops and cocoanut kisses and lollypops and jaw-breakers and tootsie rolls and chocolate do you want any of those names?" "No," replied the little pig boy, "I don't think I like any of those names for myself.

Hurry on down here quick and see Algy, the livin' peppermint lossenger, before he melts away with his own sweetness." Obeying the summons with promptness a flight of the Lawrence P.

"Just listen to that, Ma Graymouse!" he cried. "Just listen to that! One would think I was a walking candy store and a story book, all in one.

As for stories, you kiddies have heard every tale that this old gray head holds, time and time again."
He got up, patting the pocket of his waistcoat, where he kept the little vial of oil of peppermint, which he always touched to his tongue when he threw aside his cigarette on his way to a dancing partner.

The taste was indeterminate save for a very mild flavor of maple and peppermint mixed together. They had no symptoms of distress afterward. Other fruits were less satisfactory.
These are grilled almonds. You will find them delicious, as they are to alternate at dinner with the salted almonds now so fashionable. One cupful of sugar crushed fine, and just moistened with boiling water, then boiled five minutes; then take from the fire and add cream of tartar the size of a pea; mix well and add four or five drops of oil of peppermint.
The oil of peppermint forms an important product of manufacture, there being a score of peppermint distilleries yielding annually more than 100,000 pounds of this costly oil.
