The season Of apples IS upon us and
their wholesomeness should be again en-
phasized. The Bulletin of Pharmacy is
authority for the statement that apples
are the very best thing to eat just be-

and juicy apples just before going to

A small ice machine for the household,
which in fifteen minutes will furnish a
small cake of pure ice, says the London
Review, consists of a double sheet metal
cylinder, covered on the outside with a
protective layer Of asbestos for the pur-
pose of heating insulation, and hung in
sockets by two central piVOts. The re-
ceptacle is filled with distilled water up to
within and half inch from the top, and.
after the rubber washer and metal cover
are adjusted, it is tightly closed down
with a screw. The cylinder is then turn
ed around once and the other cover I'M
fastened. This permits the filling of the
space between the double wall of the outer
cylinder with chemicals used for generat-
ing the cold temperature-in this case an
ammonium salt and water. After turning
the cylinder around rapidly for about
fifteen minutes the inner receptacle is
withdrawn from the cylinder, held for a
minute in hot water, and upon being OPP
ened a piece of ice exactly the shape of
the inner wall will slide out without
trouble Another round cylinder is provi-
ded for the quick cooling of any fluid. The
salt may be crystalized out and used over
and over again.
