Where an abundant supply Of nat
ural Ice can be harvested annually 1t
will be simple matter to maintain
high-class refrigeration by installing
a brine circulating system. The prin-
ciple on which this patented system
works is the same as mechanical re-
frigeration, except that the cold Is Sc
cured through a freezing mixture OF
ice and salt In tank in which the
primary coils are located. AS the
brine In these coils becomes chilled
1t passes out through the bottom of
the coils and slowly flows through the
coils, which are located in the cooling
room. The heat OF this room is abb
sorbed by these chilled pipes and as
the brine warns up it passes out and
up into the primary coils, and in this
way a continuous circulation is main
tanned between the two pipe systems
says the department of agriculture.
For convenience the ice house can
be made part of the structure, so
that the ice can be elevated above the
storage chamber and directly into the
crusher, which can be located in the
attic above the primary coils The
space above the cooling room might
be utilized as farm shop or for a
cooperage If one were to be installed
In connection with an apple orchard
It would not be advisable to attempt
to install this system without having
an experienced engineer calculate the
piping necessary for any given stor-
age room as well as the cooling tank.
The question of insulation is also
very important one and should be
carefully specified.
This construction is adapted to
small or to very extensive plants. The
department Of agriculture uses this
system in plant which has been in
stalled at the Arlington experimental
farm. The cooling room is % by 80
feet with S-foot ceiling. Sufficient
space is thereby provided to store 800
barrels of apples.
Combined Ice House and Dairy.
Even where for convenience and
economy it Is desirable to have the
dairy under the same roof as the ice
house, it is not satisfactory to attempt

HOW HUERIA PREPARED FOR DEFENSE

brave boys OF Chapultepec The!
heroic youths of this famous school
flung themselves reckiessly In the
path Of General SCOTS army in 184z
and were decimated SCOTS bold
Americans were stirred to admiration
by the way these young men from
the best families OF Mexico went to
their deaths.
Huerta has. according to the best
information OF the United States war
department, at present 42,70I regu-
lar soldiers available for field duty
These are scattered throughout the
republic in various towns and no
single division at the outbreak OF hos.
tilities with the United States com
prised more than 5000. There were
about 5000 troops In the district
around the capital and approximately
the same number In the vicinity OF
Saltillo. south OF Torreon.
There was said to be about 3 500
troops In Sonora, $500 in Sinaloa, SOC
in Topic, 5000 In JaIisco. 100 in
Columa, $500 in Zacatecas and 1880
in Guerrero
On the Atlantic coast the forces,
before the seizure OF Vera Cruz, were
reported to be 1850 in San Luis
Potosi, 400 in Vera Cruz, and 1000
in Puebla In addition to these there
were small detachments in various
southern states at the larger towns
on the Pacific ocean
Huerta has not, 1t seems, pitted the
flower OF his army against villa and
Carranza. He will have good
nucleus for a defensive force If he
concentrates his regular army in the
vicinity Of Mexico
Z The results Of other clashes be
tween American and Mexican troops
proves the northerner Is immensely
superior man for man to the Mexican
soldier Ho has more intelligence, IS
usually In better physical trim and, il
not drawer, is possessed of certain
dash and enthusiasm which carries a
long way
Besides the land forces enumerated,
Huerta has an insignificant navy, Of
which the fighting personnel consists
Of 1920 officers and enlisted men. The
whole Mexican feet of nine vessels
would not have the slightest chance
against a single American warship of
fairly up-to-date type
In one branch Of the service, ac-
cording TO some accounts, Huerta is
superior to US This is in aviation.
Just how many aeroplanes and hydro
planes he has is not certain, but 1t
is admitted his force Is much more
imposing than the pitifui exhibition
the United States can assemble. The
United States ranks, in point OF
aeroplane equipment, twenty-third on
the list Of nations, being well down
behind China, Belgium. Switzerland,
Brazil, Argentina and Morocco,
Huerta recently lost three aeroplanes
in fire which swept his hangers.

Combined Ice House and Cold Storage plant.

to combine the ice storage with cold
store. When 1t is necessary to use
ice for chilling milk or other dairy
products it is better to remove the
ice from the Ice house or compart-
ment and place 1t In a specially con-
structed Ice box or refrigerator rather
than to attempt to maintain a cold
room by storing the ice about and in
contact with.
The chief argument against the
combined arrangement is that it pre-
vents the storage of ice in solid
mass. AS result the waste is much
greater. Again, the requirements Of
the storage room and the refrigerator
vary from time to time Advantage
can be taken of these fluctuations to
husband the ice supply when the two
are separate. There are decided ad-
vantages in having the ice supply con
venient to the dairy house or refrig-
orator, but 1t is poor economy to build
the refrigerator or cold store inside
the ice storage.
Benefits to Be Derived From an Eff
Gent Ice House on the Farm.
An ample supply Of Ice is Of great
er economic Importance in the coun-
try home than in the city residence.
City people can purchase perishable
supplies as needed, but the remote
ness of country homes from markets
often renders 1t necessary to use
canned, corned, or smoked meat pro-
ducts during the season of the year
when the table should be supplied
with fresh meats.
Not only is Ice appreciated because
OF its use in the preservation of fresh
meats, butter, and other table sup
plies, but the production Of high-gyade
domestic dairy products is almost m
possible without it. Many markets to
which milk is now shipped demand
that it be cooled before shipment to
degree not attainabie without the use

which in many sections of the coun-
try can be had for the gathering The
cost of harvesting and storing it is
not great as compared with the COM
fort that it brings.
The Source Of the Ice Supply.
The source of the ice supply will
vary with local conditions In many
sections lakes, rivers, or large streams
will afford a supply of suitable ice
without special plan or preparation on
the part of man. In other instances,
where such natural sources are not
easily accessible, small streams or
even the water from spring can be
stored in an excavation or by means
OF dam, so as to afford sufficient
water surface to provide the desired
ice supply The harvest area or sur
face will depend upon the tonnage to
be stored and the normal thickness OF
the ice in the locality.
"The stream or pond from which
the supply of ice is taken should be
fed from source free from contain

The Principles of Ice Storage.
In order to keep SO perishable q
commodity as ice it is necessary in
the construction of storage structure
to consider carefully those physical
and mechanical principles which I'M
derlie it's preservation. First, to keep
WE'LL ice must have minimum of
surface exposed to the air or to the
packing material This is most cas-
lily accomplished by piIing the ice in
the form of cube. A mass of ice IL
by II feet exposes less surface than
the same tonnage piled in any form
less nearly that of a cube or of a
globe. Second, the keeping of good
Ice depends upon the completeness OF
its insulation, whereby 1t is protected
from external influences, such as heat
and air. Third, drainage is important
because the lack of it interferes with
the insulation. Fourth, the ice itself
must be packed SO as to prevent as
completely as possible the circulation
Of air through the mass The more
nearly the mass of ice approaches
that Of solid cube; both in shape and

Combination Of Natural and Artificial
Means of Obtaining Ice.
The home ice supply is sometimes
obtained by using a combination Of
natural and artificial means. Where
an elevated water tank is at ones
command, line of pipe can be car.
ried to perforated pipes placed on the
ceiling of the ice house and during
freezing weather the pressure from
the tank can be used to carry water
through the perforated pipes to be
sprayed into the storage chamber as
long as freezing continues. BY careful
use of this plan on cold nights and
during freezing days a supply of Ice
can be built up in place The protec-
ton OF such supply is the same as
that Of Ice cut and stored in the usual
manner
Masonry Ice Houses.
Instead of the cheap, temporary
construction, ice houses Of perma-
nent nature can be built from brick,
stone. or concrete. In these, as in
frame-constructed houses, the mass OF
Ice should approach as closely as pos
sible cube in form. If the masonry
house is to be used in the same man
ner as the temporary house no inside
lining will be necessary

Have You Heard Of The
Man Who Cleared A
Waste Pipe With
Ills Finger?

Say! Did you ever 90 to wash
your hands and find that for some
reason or other the waste pipe had
become clogged and then di d
you try to clear it by poking your
finger down the hole? No? Well
perhaps you would like to hear what
happened to the youth who did.
The youth in question works at
Montague & McHugh's in Seattle
ard it happeued during the week
but it won't happen to that boy ag-
ain not for long while anyhow.
AS we said before, the waste pipn
was plugged and the young man
thought he could clear it by poking
his finger down the hole and so he
did at least he poked his finger
down and then he couldn't get it
out again. So he tried and tried
and tried. but still his finger stuck
fast and the more he pulled the fast
er it stuck. Then other employees of
the store came in and helped him
and gave him advice and all sorts of
council but the finger still stuck.
Then somebody telephoncd for
plumber and the plumber came and
he couldn't plumb that finger loose
and the plumbers assistant. he
came too and ran back to the shop
for tools and forgot the soldering
iron and ran back for the pipe
wrench and made all the regular ar
rangements for the job to be done
the next day but the young man
wouldn't stand for that and still the
finger stuck. So the plumber and
the plumbers assistant got some
r;iore tools and they unscrewed the
whole blinkity wash basin, with the
finger still in it, and they put it on
a wagon and took it down to the
plumbers shop and sawed it out.

HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

1t will surprise some people to
learn that the health of school chill
dren is better in the city than in the
country Professor Thomas Wood, of
Columbia university, has recently
conducted Survey" Of mary city
and rural schools to compare them
in this respect and his findings
seems to be conclusive. He tells us
that so far as tuberculosis, spinal
curvature, ear troubles, defects of
the eyes, and so on, are concerned,
there is far less of them in town than
in the rural district. The country
has an abundance of fresh air,
which is a prime requisite to good
health, but the poor children are not
permitted to breathe great deal of
it. At night they are often shut up
in tight rooms, from which the air
is carefully excluded, while too
many contry school rooms are un-
ventilated.
When symptoms of disease make
their appearance city children enjoy
ready access to physicians, while the
country pupils must often go long
distance over bad roads for medic
al examination or even forego the
privilege altogether. 1t sometimes
happens in rural neig borhood when
a child is known to be suffering
from eye and ear troubles, or even
tuberculosis. it is allowed to drag
along, month after month without
any attention. This seldom happens
in town except amohg the most care
less classes. There are plenty of
good reasons why city children
should haye better health than their
country cousins. Anacortes Citizen.
