cut on the Brandywine have been
stored away. aud the officers Of the
Consumers Ice and Coal Company, of

do not care Il the rest of the winter
proves as warm as summer.
Never in the history of the ice
business along the Brandywine has
il been possible to harvest so much
ice in so short a time.
For more than a week past there
have been about so men at work at
the Hibernia dams and about 25O at
Icedale. All of these men have been
fed and housed at the ice plants, and
the manner in which they are ham
died is most interesting. The pur-
pose of the company has always been

most work from them. For this
purpose a special corps of cooks are
employed and the amount Of victuals
consumed is enormous. Medicine
is given three times a day.
From three to five hundred loaves
Of bread are consumed every day
during the rush times Coffee is
made in large washboilers and sew
eral gallons are consumed at each
meal. Once in a while when soup is
served Il takes about barrel TO
satisfy the keen appetites Of the ice
harvesters. The remainder of the diet
consists Of sausage and scrapple and
simple food which although plain.
is good and wholesome. and some OF
the men who help the harvest get
