This brine takes the place of the ice

to 16 to % degrees Fahrenheit. The

The value of the ice cream consumed
in this country has reached the figure
of S150,000,O00 per annum, and this fact
makes an outline of the early history
of this frozen dainty and the extent of
ice cream making at the present time
an interesting study.
Alexander the Great was very fond
of iced bevera ges, and it is said that
one of the modern varieties, the Mace
doine." was named after the ancient
Macedonian. While it was not exactly
ice cream which was served in those
old. European royal households, it was
a concoction very much like it, Wines
and fruit juices were cooled with ice
and snow at the courts of France and
Italy in very early times. When and
where the first water ices were made
no one can say, but it seems probabl
that they were brought to France from
Italy by Catherine de Medici in the
sixteenth century. Marco Polo is re-
ported to have brought recipes for
water ice and milk ice from Japan in
the thirteenth century.
Cream ice was served at a banquet
given by Charles ] of England. This
ice was made by a French cook named
De Mireo. and it was related that the
king was so well pleased with the new
dish that he pensioned the cook with
eco a year on condition that the latter
should not make the ice for any one
but the king and should tell no one
else how to make it. The making of
ice cream has been developed step by
step from the cooling of wines and
liquids by the servants of royalty to
the freezing of milk and cream in later
years.
Ice cream is said to have been intro
duced in Washington by Mrs. Alexan-
der Hamilton at dinner that was at
tended by George Washington.

industry. His principal object is to find
better methods and to discourage the
use of substitutes for cream, fo- il is
well known that there is not a suffi-
cient amount of cream available for
the purpose of ice cream making and
that substitutes are therefore used. AS
long as IL seems absolutely necessary
to some manufacturers to use substi-
tutes for cream. the government is at
tempting to find means to eliminate
them wherever possible.
The milk dealer who made ice cream
years ago merely SO that he might
utilize his surplus cream is referred to
in tones of envy by the dairymen of to-
day. who cannot supply the great demand
for fresh cream made upon them by ice
cream manufacturers.
