The drain pipe Of a refrigerator

lead to the ground, or it may be con-

ably the basement sink. The sink
should be trapped before connection
with the sewer Thus there is no direct
connection OF the drain and the sewer,
obviating any fear of the back pas
sage of sewer gas. which is decidedly
unpleasant, though no longer feared
as deadly.
Any refrigerator, whether new or
old, should be kept scrupulously clean.
Anything that is spilled should be
wiped up Immediately, and if spilled
milk or cream should go down the
drain, the drain should be removed
and scalded as soon as possible. The
drain should be cleaned regularly once
week at least. To clean, run boiling
soda solution through it, then scald
with clear boiling water, and let
stand in the sun if possible. With good
care in handling the foods, the shelves
may be cleaned only once in two
weeks, though if any but the house

tacles for small quantities of food
that are apt to be left. Food, like
pineapple or cantaloupe, which per-
meates a whole icebox with its odor
should not only be covered, but the
whole receptacle should be wrapped
in newspaper. Any food which is be-
ginning to spoil should be removed at
once, for the micro-organism which
cause spelling may penetrate to other
foods in the refrigerator, and the odor
of spelling food will ruin delicate
flavors.
