Hints Concerning lee.

A medical authority says that the
best ice is always cold and sometimes,
n slight moisture may be observed
upon the surface. 1t is devoid OF
smell and will melt when exposed &c
temperature of 10 degrees Fahren
heit Ice made of water is most do
sirable. II should be transparent OF
nearly so, and should break into frag.
ments when given sharp blow.
Tough ice that will not break is gener.
ally adulterated. Avoid soft ice, or
ice that has been subjected TO exces
s.ye heat while under process of manu-
lacture. 1t sometimes presents n fine
appe rance, but is unhealthful. Ice
more than three days old should not be
purchased, as il is liable to turn sour
on your hands and will have to be
thrown away. After having melted
ice loses many of its virtues and should
not be used. 1t should always be kept
in II cool place and as distance from
gas fixtures to avoid explosions. -
