Refrigerators are supposed to
be necessary to the preservation
of food, but many times, through
carelessness, they are exactly the
opposite.
A good (not necessarily an ex-
pensive) refrigerator is a profit

find a refrigerator is a very ex-
pensive house furnishing.
The best arranged are those
having the ice chamber on one
side, with a swinging door. This
space should be large enough to
store at least 1875 pounds of ice,
and the ice chamber should not
be opened.

tact with warm air from outside.

IS MADE ON The
LONDON STORES
PRICES JUMP

London, Aug. 5.-Another run on the
provision stores in London and in the
provinces occurred today in spite OF
the governments assurances that there
was sufficient food TO supply the pop
ulation for months without counting
that en- route. Prices again Jumped and
some of the smaller shops We're forced
to close.
In the East End. several stores where
where prices had been raised were
rushed by Infatuated women. who car
ried off everything they could lay
their hands on before the arrival OF
the police.
The situation has been aggravated
by the throwing out of work of $780,
600 transport workers through the dis
continuance of freight traffic to the
Continent It is expected, however, that
many of these will find employment in
the army transport service.
A downpour of rain prevented the
gathering of any great crowds this aft
ernoon, but this evening the streets OF
Whitehall and the West End were fill
ed with people cheering at the ru-
ulored British, French and Belgian
victories.

Insult

st. Petersburg, via London, Aug. s.
The German embassy here was wrecked
and a bonfire made of the furniture and
pictures by an angry crowd today. The
people were angered by the reports of
what they deemed to be an indignity
shown to the Dowager Empress Maria
Feedorowna by being stopped in Berlin
on her arrival from London on her way
to st. Petersburg and compelled by the
German authorities TO go to Copenhagen.
An entrance was forced by the crowd
through the windows. Most of the rooms
were wrecked and the furniture pitched
into the streets.
A number of students and workmen
climbed to the roof of the embassy and
tore the gold eagle from the top of the
flagstaff. They then ran up the Russian
flag.
A massive statuary depicting horses
led by men was hacked to pieces with
axes and the debrise hurled into the ca
pal,
A bonfire was then made of the con-
tents OF the embassy and an attempt
was made to put a torch to the building,
but mounted police routed the rioters.
Another crowd later tried to repeat the
out that building was too strongly
guarded.
The body of Russian footman is al
legged by the authorities to have been
found In the German embassy. The man
had been shot in the head and stabbed
and had been dead for some days.
