KEEP FOODS FRESH
WITHOUT ICE.

Not every home can afford the
luxury Of refrigerator and daily
call from the ice man. And some
times the ice man forgets to call.
Or there is a general ice famine; or
we go to the country or a summer
camp miles from an ice house or
ice factory. But in all such emer-
gencies there is milk and butter. and
fruit and vegetables to be kept fresh
even without ice. Fortunately there
are several ways to solve the prob
lem.
Make an iceless refrigerator by
making a box frame, covered on all
sides except the bottom with wire
screening. Provide one side with a
hinged door and place slat shelves
inside. Cover the box with a strip
of heavy Canton flannel and allow
the ends Of the cloth to hang in
pan full OF clean water. Set the box
in window, in the yard or on the
fire escape Of a fiat or apartment
any place where It will be in a draft
Of air. Keep the pan full OF water.
The circulation of air through the
wet cloth will keep food put in the
box fresh and cool.
To keep small quantities Of milk
butter. and eggs. sink a large, un-
glazed fiowerpot in a box of wet sand
and cover with wet cloth and a
plate.
To keep vegetables fresh soak
them in very cold water until crisp,
wrap loosely in very wet cheesecloth,
and lay in draft Of air. or place
in tin or earthen container with a
tight cover. Eggs will keen fresh
several days IL buried in wet sand
and set in a box or crock on the
cool floor of a cellar. Lemons treat
the same way will keep fresh indefi-
nitely. To keep uncooked meat fresh
overnight rub the surface well with
mixed oil and vinegar and set In
fool place covered lightly with a
damp cloth.
A bottle of milk may be kept fresh
twenty-four hours by setting 1t in A
deep crock of cold water, renewed
as 1t gets warm. To keep butter
sweet wrap the pat in wet cheese
cloth, put a bit of charcoal near t.,
and put the butter in a bowl. In.
vert the bowl in a deep saucer and
set it under a water faucet, allow
ing the water to drip slowly over
the bowl and saucer.
To make a very little ice 60 a
long way a homemade refrigerator
built on the same theory as a fireless
cooker is recommended. Three or
four cents worth of ice will cool it
and its contents all day. To make
the refrigerator purchase a large lard
can and a wooden butter tub. Put
three inches of sawdust in the tub,
set in the lard can, and fill the
spaces around the sides with sawdust.
Put the small piece of ice in the
can and pack the milk, butter and
other food around It. Put on the
tin cover, then cover the butter tub
with a thick cushion stuffed with
sawdust. Keep the tin cover and
cushion on tight.

Saturday, August 81, 1915.

This is a most fortunate day, ac-
cording to astrology. for the Sun,
Mars, Jupiter and Mercury are all
in benefic aspect. 1t is a most aus
picious rule for initiative of every
sort and should bring good luck to
all who make any practical venture.
Both men and women should be
successful in seeking positions dur
ing this configuration.
Political candidates should benefit
from the planetary direction, which
is believed to encourage public IA
vor. The fall elections may present
many surprising results.
The President. governors and men
at the head of official affairs are
most fortunate in the forecst for
this day, bet all who occupy places
In the Sun should safeguard the
health.
Mars promises victory for the al
lies. Although delays and unexpect-
ed events may retard final peace
the seers declare that the war will
las. through but one more winter.
The salient signs read as applying
to war conditions seem to indicate
extraordinary success, but Septem-
Der may be a month of many dis
turbing events. These are likely to
include legal difficulties. labor agi-
tation and excitement over religious
affairs.
Again death SO long prognosticated
for, the Kaiser is indicated by the
stars. The seers agree that the Ger
man Emperor will not live to see
peace established.
Beginning in the early autumn eco
nomic questions will occupy unusual
attention and reconstruction work for
the period after the war will start
definitely in commercial centers. It
is prophesied.
Bankers continue under the best
leading. which seems to foreshadow
great fiancial enterprises that are CO.
operative
Celebrations and holidays will grow
In popularity in the United States,
as result of the development of
the community spirit, It is predicted.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a prosperous year.
They should avoid changes.
Children born on this day are like
ly to be clever. industrious and much
respected. These subjects OF Virgo
have Mercury as their principal ruler.

New Kind Of War Bride

HOW TO SAVE WHAT
YOU SPEND.

No individual housewife can regu-
late food prices. but she can give aid
and comfort to the distressed dollar
by thrifty marketing-and by insist
ing that she GETS what she PAYS
for in full weight and honest measure.
To help the housewife the depart
ment Of weights and measures Of the
State of Massachusetts, has issued a
table of Dos" and "Don'ts" for food
shoppers. Every home kitchen should
be equipped with a dependable scale
with a weight range of at least ten
or fifteen pounds. Goods delivered
from the shops should be weighed and
checked up at once to be sure the
quantity paid for is delivered.
Here are the departments helps for
marketers:
Don't trade with merchants who
have inaccurate weighing devices.
In buying poultry do not accept the
weight already marked on the fowls;
