WHAT SHOULD BE KNOWN ABOUT
a REFRIGERATOR.

AS regards the sanitary arrange
ments of house, they are menace
to life and health when disregarded. =
The refrigerator may become dan
gerous element through neglect. At
tention must be given to keeping the
food within it sweet and wholesome,
or sickness will result.
Milk Is a powerful agent for the de-
velopment of disease, and many a
case of typhoid fever is traced direct
ly to the milk. It should be kept in
clean glass cans tightly closed.
Now that SO many physicians are
opposed to the use of ice in water, it
is usually put into the refrigerator to
be chilled. This should also be kept
in clean, glass jar that is tightly
closed, for the same reason that the
milk is kept covered.
The close refrigerator odor, some
times perceived in butter and other
food kept there, denotes the presence
of disease germs that must be destroy
ed at once by the means of soap and
water. One cannot err on the side of
cleanliness in the refrigerator or
wherever food is kept.
