ICE BOX PLACE TO KEEP FOOD
NOT ICE
By Caroline Coe
The afm of a refrigerator is the
preservation of food not 1ce.
This is only done when the
temperature is low enough and dry
enough to retard the action of bac
teria; the lower the temperature tho
more successfully this'can be done.
There are" only three ways of pro
ducing cold; by expansion of gases,
evaporation of liquids and the melt
ing of solids; this last method is the
one used in household refrigerators
and this fact should be born in mind
by every housekeeper.
Dissolving the ice produces the
cold so long as the ice is kept from
melting the box is inefficient and the
aim defeated.
The aim "of the manufacturer is to
'provide a box so made and filled with
material that will tend to keep out the ,
heat this is, I am sure, a new idea '
to most housewives.
When a refrigerator has a capacity
for holding 100 pounds of ice that is
the amount to put in. It will not be
possible to get the desired results
from the box if you use 50 pounds.
Buy ice in as large amounts as pos-.
sible and fill box less often.

chicken fancier on the south.
