PRESERVING FRUIT.
Cold Storage Can BE Provided NheF-
ever Ice Has Been Gathered
During Last Winter.

The way TO preserve fruit is to place
II in cold storage. There is often a ne
cessity for preserving fruit for time.
The market. for instance, for a certain
kind of fruit is for the time being
glutted. If we could preserve our fruit
for a short time the market would want
it. Cold storage is what we want for
the purpose. How are we to provide
that? Have you ice? II not that ends
the subject, for we cannot have cold
storage without ice, and the season for
gathering it is gone. If we have ice,
have we scientifically constructed
dairy house-one with the ice sbove,
double walls, etc. IL so, partition the
dairy room off and use part of it for
cold storage for fruit when needed. If
YOU have ice and no such dairy house.
construct one II is not expensive. Set
uu what is called balloon frame, or
ra4ner two balloon frames. so that you
NAV have double walls, enclose il on the
o.sside and board it on the inside, fill
iR the space with sawdust if You can
gst it, or with any non-heat conductor.
Build an upper chamber for the ice; ar
range drainage and you have your
house for cold storage. Plow-

LESS CRIME DURING WAR,
Robbers Read War News and Neglect
to Ply Their Unlawful Pro-
fession.

| There is cause for wonder in the fact
that here in New York (and it is reason
able to suppose the same conditions ex-
| list elsewhere) the war has had an aston
ishiug effect upon crime. Within the
last two months the police department
and the criminal courts have expert
enced a remarkable change. 1t is safe
to say that not in 20 years has there
! been so little evidence of crime in New
York as at the present moment.
\ casual glance through the pages of
the daily papers will show that criminal
news is a scarce article Where six
months ago you were wont to be
shocked at the breakfast table by the
sickening details of some atrocious
deed, you now see little evidence that
crime still exists in New York. And
now you will at once jump to the con-
clusion that the reason lies in the fact
| that such news is either boiled down"
| by the gentlemen with blue pencils,
with whom every newspaper office is
plentifully supplied, or else is crowded
| out altogether to make room for war
| news.
There you are wrong. Boiled down
The chronicles of crime certainly are to
meet the eNigencieS of the situation,
but there is comparatively little to boil
down. Everywhere, in the police
courts, in the districts attorneys Of
