On Uncle Sam's Water Wagon. First edition, first printing, preserving the rare jacket. The book lists non-alcoholic soda fountain drink recipes, at the beginning of the Prohibition period."Whether or not the wisdom of the measure [prohibition] commends itself to all the people, it is fair to assume that, having become part of the basic law of the land, the American people, being law-abiding citizens, will observe it. But this does not mean that men and women will no longer become thirsty. It is the aim of this little book to present a collection of some hundreds of recipes, for making in the home delicious, appetizing, and wholesome drinks, free from the alcoholic taint" (preface).
