Ice is a good thing.
Ice is frequently used in sickness.

bet which could eat most ice cream. went in

He saw it was no use. He gave in. Otherwise
am sure he would have died of cholera morbus
So l always credited myself with having saved
him. That kind Of kindness is comfortable in hot
weather. 1t is an evident case of virtue its own

While the ice cream freezer is in the salt water,
u Is desirable not TO let too much OF the salt
water get IN, as some people object 70 the flavor.
This, OF course, is mere matter Of TASTE and
many persons like salt. When the water in the
freezer Is frozen, which may be told by its pecu.

The easiest way is 10 boil it out, but as this de-
