KEEPING DOWN THE ICE BILL

The plan proposed is really a
money saver. While refrigerator
and ice chest are not bull. the same,
the wrinkle" works in both. Pro-
cure a piece of thick felt, such as har-
ness makers use. You can get it in
white, gray or other colors, and it
should be onahalf inch thick. Buy
also a piece o. coarse wire, such as
ash-sieves are made of, about one
yard wide, or according to the length
of your ice-box. Measure the bottom
of the box and cut the wire and felt
about one inch smaller all around,
leaving that distance between box
and pad so that the air will have free
circulation. Have two pieces of wire
and one piece of felt. the same size.
Soak the felt thoroughly, place it
between the wires. place it in the
chest, put the ice on top of it. and in
fifteen minutes you will have one OF
the coolest ice-chests imaginable;
that is, you will il the plan works
the same for you as for me. 1t cuts
the ice bill at least one-third. have
heard women advocate wrapping ice in
blankets or paper to keep it from
melting. and always smile. 1t is
the melting or evaporation of the ice
that cools the chest, and those who
put their ice in overcoats to save it
lose more than its price in food I'M

DOGS LIFE TO SAVE CHICKS

Mistress.

Pottsville, Pa.-When Mrs. Robert
Helms went TO the chicken coop to
see why her fowls were making an
unwonted noise. she found that a
four-foot copperhead had coiled up in
the yard and was giving battle to a
dog which had driven the reptile away
from a half-devoured chicken.
She endeavored to strike it with
broom when the snake made q thrust
at her, narrowly missing. Her screams
brought men from their work near
by. and they soon killed the snake.
The dog was a victim of the fangs
of the reptile. and viii likely die from
the poison, which he endeayored in
