for one quart and one pint bottle If rhe nurs-
ing bottles are not used. When the lid is
fastened down securely the space between the
two tin boxes becomes vacuum that keeps
the box cool once it gets cool. The box should
not be opened except when bottle is needed.
Each morning the inner tin box should be
removed and the water poured cut The box
should be dried and summed for few minutes
before the fresh supply OF milk and ice IS
packed into 1t.
While il is advisable to buy the scientifically
constructed ready made nursery ieepoxes il

make the school bear the burden ihat MIS-
King imposed upon it.
In the second place. the device used cannot
be OF general applicability, for if all mothers
resorted TO it the punctuality OF the school
would breal; down completely. The irfesu-
larity resulting would make it impossible for
the school to establish and maintain any stand
ards. and the homes would be without the
moral support they now get from the school
in the effort TO accelerate the childrens habits
OF regularity and punctualIty.
This suggests that Mrs. Kings reliance upon
the school was in this case parasitic and
contrary to the spirit Of mutual help that
should characterize our social relations. Yet
the purpose was iaudsble, and there was no
thought Of taking advantage OF any one, least
of all of the teacher

should be at least twelve inches square by ten
inches deep. Set this upon the layer OF saw
dust and fill the box all about it with more
sawdust packing it down firm. Select another
tin box ten inches square and nine inches
deep and give it coat of white enamel paint
on the inside The paint will prevent rusting
and make it easier to clean.
On the inside of the top of the box tack
fold Of newspapers at least fifty deep. II they
are cut to exactly fit the box and layer OF
plain white paper used on the outside neat
lob can be made of it. Fasten the top onto
the box with two small hinges, and on the
front use a cupboard atch to hold the lid
firmly fastened when in use
A Io-cent can Of white enamel paint Will
give the box two coats outside. The paint on
the inside OF the smaller tin box is all that IS
needed on the inside unless you really want
TO paint the inside Of TIE larger tin box, too.
This will possibly make it seem more san'-
tary
The box is now ready for use as soon as the
paint is thoroughly dry. II should be given at
least four days to dry out before the box Is
used for milk.

TURSEPY iceboxes, those white enamel
~ spck and span, miniature affairs that
l. hold nothing but the baby's milk, are
wonderfully convenient. But they are also
wonderfully expensive for their size. In the
average home where there is baby the lam
lily refrigerator serves for the baby as well.
And il the milk becomes contaminated with
the favor of any fruit or salad that might be
a too close neighbor in the iceboX only the
baby ever knows about it, Milk IS more sus-
ceptible to foreign odors and havors than any
thing else we use in our diet. Nothing is so
sensitive as the digestion OF young chlid.
1t NAV seem an unimportant matter TO always
remember to keep the babys bottles OF mlk
in a separate part of the iceboX, but m reality
il is of the greatest importance.
So nursery iceboxes, you see, are OF as much
value in feeding the baby as are the proper
kinds Of bottles and the proper method OF
preparing the milk in the beginning. But the
nursery icebox need not be the expensive sort.
1t is quite possible to make your own and one
