able and very easily kept clean. I'm
fortunately, these are, as yet, not
the majority. However, a sanitary
ice-box Is possible to every house
wife who demands it. Be careful
not to spill food on the shelves;
cover closely all eatables. to be put
away; insist upon clean ice; scrub
and scald the interior of the ice-box
with strong sOda-water once a week,
completing the operation by pouring
down the drain a solution OF Platt's
Chlorides, an odorless disfnfectant
An ice-box drain should never be
closely connected with the general
sewerage system, unless this has
been done in perfectly sanitary
way, by a respons ible plumber To
save the constant emptying of the
waste water, rubber tube may be
fitted over the small drain-pirc, in
the bottom of the ice-box. and led
