EXPERT ADVICE ON HOW to-
REDUCE ICE BILLS

y We've got to have ice this sum-
mer, and most of us are dreading
the bills. For the benefit Of those
of us who are, The Press has Sc
cured two experts to tell the best
methods of preserving ice SO that
half Of 1t won't melt by the time
we need It,.
Albert j. Weatherhead, refrigera-
tor man of national experience, and
Mrs. Alice Gitchell Kirk, the well
known domestic science lecturer,
will tell their own story.
BY A. J. Weatherhead
Every piece of ice of a given
size contains certain number of
cold units. The problem of the
consumer is to preserve this ice
so that 1t will distribute an eff
ficient number of cold units over
as long a time as possible. That
this may be done there are several
conditions necessary.
First, the refrigerator must be
we'll insulated.
Second, the ice should be cover
ed with a wet cloth.
Third, nothing should come in
contact with the ice.
II the back wall of your refrig
prator is constructed of thin, knot

ty boards it will pay you to get
some good heavy lumber and make
false back.
See that the doors and lids fit.
II they are not alright get some
weather stripping and run around
the openings so that when the
doors are closed no air can get in.
See that the refrigerator has a
good lock.
Always remember that as sure
ly as heat rises cold descends, and
the lower part of your refrigerator
Is colder than the ice receptacle.
b Mrs. Alice Gitcheil Kirk
To make ice go as far as posi-
BILE | would suggest three donts.
First, don't Keep anything in the
same compartment with your ice
1t will keep colder below, and when
it is alongside the ice it helps to
melt 1t.
Second, don't forget to close the
doors tight after each visit to the
cooler.
Third, don't fail to hang news
paper just inside the door of the
ice receptacle itself. 1t stops the
warm outside air from filtering in
through the openings around the
door

jamie had been fairly counting
the minutes to the time when they
should go to the seashore to sail it.
No wthere were only a few days
to wait, and poor jamie was too
sick to go with them. Jamie lived
only few doors away, and just
before she came up to say good
night, Towards mama had been to
inqnire how he was.
He is no better, dear" she had
said, "and he is tired of all his
playthings. There is just one thing
he wants very much and that is
your ship. Won't you carry 1t over
and put it on a chair near the bed,
so he can look at it,
"Oh! no; he can't have my ship"
said Howard. well want it in a
few days, and he won't want us to
take it."
/ Very well, Howard" said his
mother sadly; then Jamie will
have to do without it,"
But that seemed hours ago, and
Howard was still trying to go to
sleep. He turned his back to the
ship, and still he could not sleep.
He finally slipped out of bed and
down the stairs.
Mother was reading; he went
up very quietly and put his arms
around her neck and whispered, in
a shaky little voice, '"You may give
my ship to jamie"
Mother looked very happy, and
she Rugged him so tight that he
didn't feel so very bad, but he tried
not to look toward the window seat
where he had kept it, for it made
a queer little lump come into his
throat.
They had been at the seashore
| several days. He and Helen were
making tunnels in the sand. How
! ard looked up, and what do you
think? Coming across the sand
was father, carrying a ship, larger
than the one he had given Jamie
1t had little wooden sailors on the
] deck and a little anchor. He and
Helen were delighted and wanted
to sail it right away. AS father
put it into Towards arms he said:
This. Howard, is a reward for
your kindness to Jamie. l am very
glad you were so unselfish."

THE PERFIDIous FRYING PAN.
MR.c.LAfSM no.

Why are fried foods considered
.indigestible? Because the fat in
which they frying is done, no mat
ter of how good quality that fat
may be, forms a thin coating over
each particle of food SO fried
Now, neither the digestive fluids
of the mouth nor those of the
stomach can act upon fat; and so
the fat encrusted food cannot be
digested. 1t is clad in sort of
armor of grease which renders it
quite impervious to the action of
any digestive fluid which is likely
to get at it for several hours after
eating.
Fats are digested only by GER
tain agent known as "steapsin.
which NETS the food in the intes-
tine. BY the time the steapsin gets
into contact with the fat enveloped
food, it has fermented-and that's
indigestion.
Why are sailed and "cOrned"
meats to be avoided? Because, in
the first place, they are usually
taken from an inferior part of an
inferior-often diseased-animal:
secondly, because the chemicals
used to prevent the meat from I'M
dergoing chemical change outside
the body will act within the body
to prevent the chemical change
known as digestion Such foods
simply clog up and embarrass the
delicate machinery of digestion.
Why is meat of all kinds often
denied to all those suffering from
| rheumatism? Because the disorder
known as Rheumatism is nothing
more nor less than the effort of the
system to get rid of certain poi.
son which has been deposited at
the junction of some of the long
bones of the body. This poison is
produced in the bodies of all AMI
mals-cows and sheep, as well as
men. The meat you eat contains a
certain amount of 1t.
The rheumatic individual has OF
this poison already quite too much
more than he can get rid of, and
when, in addition to his already ex
cessive load, he adds the poison
contained in the meat eaten, he

Gated oregon cream cheese TO the

ran amuck through the building,

FREE DELIVERY
OF The MAIL
CLUB WILL PRESENT PETITION
TO CITY COUNCIL
Raising Fund to Mark Streets and
viii Ask for Ordinance To Have
Houses Properly Numbered-En-
titled to Free Delivery.

The matter of securing free mail
delivery for Brownsville has been ia
ken up in earnest by the Business
Mems Club, and a definite move in
this direction is now being made. To-
day a committee began circulating
for signatures, petition to the City
Council asking that an ordinance be
passed requiring property owners to
mark the houses of the city, and also
authorizing the work of marking the
intersections of the streets, each sign
er pledging himself to contribute a
certain amount % defray the expense
of the latter work
1t is estimated that ii will require
about $3.50 to mark the street cor
ners, and this sum will probably be
easily raised To mark the houses, it
will cost probably from % to so cents
per house, according to the class Of
figures used. 1t it taken for granted
that every property owner will easily
be able to spend that small amount
for the purpose of obtaining free mail
delivery. Up to three this afternoon
SO names had been secured, the
amount being about S55.
Brownsville has been entitled to
free mail delivery for long over
year, the postoffice receipts
amounting to considerably more than
the sum required to entitle the town
to the free delivery privilege, and it
only rests with the city council and
the property owners to secure it.
