HAD HEARD THAT QUESTION
Patriotic Woman Didn't Know She
Was Addressing the Highest Off
fetal of the State.

One of our City's woman's clubs has
a booth in the Columbia club, where a
group of the clubwomen have been
selling Liberty bonds all week. Fri
day one of these women approached n
man who was passing the booth, and
put her usual question to him:
do YOU want TO buy any more Lib
crty bonds?"
mo" answered the man decislvely.
To the woman's ear there was Il pro
nounced sharpness In his reply.
"Ah," she said, taking step near
or, are you aware that the govern
ment Is anxious to know the reason
back Of anyone's decided refusal to
buy Liberty bonds?"
The man threw his head back and
laughed long and heartily. A group
Of men standing near who had wit
messed the incident, joined in the
laughter.
That's n good one on you, COVER

happened to know that the man all
dressed had bought many Liberty
bonds.

The following was overheard on a
street car one very cold day in winter
in a Canadian city. At n corner the
car was boarded by a husky soldier in
the picturesque Highland uniform
the kits of which leave the knees bare.
On the car was young dude still in

girl cast admiring glances mt the at
tractlvely uniformed "Kiltie" much to
the diSpleasure of her Stacker escort
SO he endeayored to make fun of the
uniform by remarking, 81 think that
outfit is most ridiculous. That fellows

The Kiltie overhearlng the comment

Pat walked into the post Office After
getting into the telephone box he
called a wrong number. AS there was
no such number the switch attendant
did not answer him. Pat shouted again,
but received no answer.
The lady of the post office opened
the door and told him to shout little
louder, which he did, but still no an
swer.
Again she said she would require
him to speak louder.
Pat got angry ut this, and, turning
to the lady, said:

HOW TO CONSTRUCT AN
IcELESS REFRIGERATOR

A wooden frame Is made with
dimensions 42 by 16 by Ia
inches and covered with screen
wire, preferably the rustless
type, which costs little more
than the ordinary kind. The
door is made to fit closely and
is mounted on brass hinges, and
can be fastened with n wooden
latch. The bottom is fitted sol
i'd, but the top should be COW
cred with screen wire. AdjuSta-
BILE shelves can be made of solid
wood or strips or sheets of gal
vanized metal. Shelves made of
poultry netting on light wooden
frames, as shown In the Illus
tration, are probably the most
desirable. These shelves rest
on side braces placed at desired
intervals. A bread baking pan,
II by 16 inches, is placed on the
top and the frame rests In q II
by 1S-inCh pan.
All the woodwork, the shelves
and the pans should receive two
coats Of white paint and one or
two coats Of white enamel. This
makes very attractive surface
and one that can be easily kept
clean. The screen wire also may
receive the coat of enamel,
which will prevent it from rust
ing.
A cover Of canton flannel, bur
lap or duck is made to fit the
frame. Put the smooth side out
If canton flannel is used. 1t Will
require about three yards of ma
terial. This cover is buttonod
around the top Of the frame and
down the side on which the door
is not hinged, using buggy hooks
and eyes or large-hcaded lacks
and eyelcts worked in the mate
rial. on the front side arrange
the hooks on the top Of the door,
instead Of on the frame, and also
fasten the cover down the latch
side Of the door, allowing a wide
hem Of the material TO overlap
the place where the door closes.
The door can then be opened
without unbuttoning the cover.
The bottom Of the cover should
extend down into the lower pan.
Four double strips, which taper
TO 8 or 10 inches in width. are
sewed to the upper part of the
cover. These strips form wicks
that dip over into the upper pan.
The dimensions given make n
refrigerator of very convenient
size for household use and one
with efficient evaporatlng sur
face, but It is not necessary to
follow strictly these dimensions.
II a larger capacity is desired,
the height of the refrigerator can
be increased.

summer. Maintaining low tempera-
ture through the evaporation of water
from its canvas cover, the iceless re-
frigerator will keep meats, fruits and
vegetables cool and will extend the pc
riod for keeping milk and butter. 1t
can also serve as a cooler for drinking
water.
Separate Refrigerators.
In homes where large quantities of
milk and butter are to be kept it would
be well to have one refrigerator for
milk and butter and another for other
foods, as milk and butter readily alb
sorb odors from other foods. 1t costs
very little to build the refrigerator and
nothing TO operate it. The operation is
as simple as the construction. The
upper pan should be kept filled with
water. The water is drawn by capil-
larry attraction through the wicks and
saturates the cover. AS evaporation
takes place heat is taken from the
inside of the refrigerator, thereby low
ering the temperature of the inside
and the contents. Capillary action
starts more readily if the cover is first
dampened by dipping it in water or
throwing water upon it. The greater
the rate of evaporation the lower the
temperature which can be secured;
therefore the refrigerator works best
when rapid evaporation takes place.
Evaporation Is Rapid.
When the refrigerator is placed in a
shady place in strong breeze and the
air is warm and dry, evaporation
takes place continuously and rapidly
and the temperature inside the refrig-
orator is reduced. Under ideal condi-
tions the temperature has been
known to be reduced to 80 degrees
Fahrenheit. When it is damp, and
the air is full of moisture, the refrig-
orator will not work as well, since
there is not enough evaporation. More
water will find its way to the lower
pan, but it will be drawn up into the
covering by capillary attraction when
the air again becomes drier.
The refrigerator SHOULD be regularly
cleaned and summed IF the framework,
shelves and pans are white enameled
they can more easily be kept in a sani-
tary condition. 1t is well to have two
covers, so that fresh one can be used
each week and the soiled one washed
and summed
