KEEP THE ICE BOX CLEAN.
Thorough Cleaning at Least Once q
Week Is Necessary.

"An ice box which has an unplcas-
ant odor is indicative of poor house
keeping" says a statement issued by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. ANY food dropped or
spilled from dishes placed in the
refrigerator" continues the statement,
should Immediately be removed and
the soiled spot cleaned. Once a week
at least the ice box should he cmptied
and thoroughly cleaned with warm
water containing soap or preferably
washing soda and household am
monia at the rate of two tablespoon
fuls to a gallon of water.
The drainpipe leading from the ice
compartment should not be forgotten
1t may be cleaned most easily with a
brush having a longwise handle or a
swab may be made by winding a cloth
on ~ound stick small enough to pass
through the pipe. Some ice boxes are
constructed so that the drainpipe may
be removed for washing. After thor
ough cleaning. the interior Of the ice
box, including the drainpipe, should
be scalded with plenty Of boiling
water and then rinsed in cold water.
The refrigerator should then be dried
and aired before putting in the ice
and food.
Here are some suggestions for
preventing odors in ice boxes:
"G) Keep refrigerator clean; (o)
keep milk butter, and eggs covered,
to prevent absorption of foreign
doors: (3) put foods with strong
odors, like fish into closed recepta-
cles; a. cool all cooked foods to
room temperature before putting
them in the refrigerator: 80 don't
keep onions and bananas in the ice
