Suggestions how to keep ice are now in
order The Ladies Home Con,Panion makes
| the following: There are three or four
things that will help to keep the precious
nugget of ice from melting away if the
housek eeper will only remember them
One is, that to keep ice warm is the way to
keep ii cold y piece OF les in a pitcher,
with the pail over the pitcher and rug over
the pail, will keep all night. A piece of
ice in "A refrigerator, covered with a snug,
w1ite blanket, will cheat the greedy ice
man every day, and snap fancy fingers at
the milk that does not dare TO get sour, or
the beef-steak that aares not fail. These
thugs are admirable in their way and
should be in every hat band. But the
greatest trick of all is newspapers. With
| plenty of newspapers above, below and on
every side, the way piece Of ice will keep
| is joke.
