AN ICELEss REFRIGERATOR

Where Ice is not obtainable an Ice |
less refrigerator. homemade, will be a |
useful food keeper and food saver
this summer. Maintaining a low
temperature through the evaporation
OF water from its canvas cover. the
lceless refrigerator Will keep meats,
fruits and vegetables cool and will
extend the period for keeping milk
and butter. II can also serve as
cooler for drinking water. This is
the way TO make II:
A wooden frame is made with di-
mensions AZ 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 tit closely. and Is
mounted on brass hinges, and can be
fastened with q wooden latch. The
bottom is fitted solid. but the top
should be covered with screen wire.
Adjustable shelves can be made OF
vanlzed metal. Shelves made OF poui-
try netting on light wooden frames
are probably the most desirable.
These shelves rest on side braces
placed at desired intervals. A bread
baking pan, IA by 16 inches. is plac-
ed on the top and theh hrame rests In
a II by s inch pan.
Paint Makes Surface Attractive
All the woodwork, the shelves. and
the pans should receive two coats OF
white paint and one or two coats OF
enamel. which will prevent 1t from
rusting.
A cover OF canton flannel, burlap.
or duck is made to fit the frame. Put
| the smooth side out II the canton
flannel IL used. 1t will require about
3 yards OF material. This cover is
buttoned around the top OF the frame
and down the side on which the door
is not hinged using buggy hooks and
| eyes or large headed tackes and eye
let's worked in the material. 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 q
wide hem of the material to overlap
the place where the door closes. The
door can then be opened without un-
buttoning the cover. The bottom OF
the cover should extend down into
the lower pan. Four double strips
which taper to 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 re-
frigerator of very convenient size for
household use and one with efficient
evaporating surface, but II IL not
necessary to follow strictly these d.
mensions. II larger capacity is de-
sired, the height of the refrigerator
can be increased.
In homes where large quantities
of milk and butter are to be kept II
would be- we'll to have one refrigerator
for milk and butter and another for
other foods. as milk and butter readi-
iy absorb orders from other foods. II
costs very little to build the refrigera-
tor and nothing to operate II. The
operation is AS simple as the con
struction. The upper pan should be
kept filled with water. The water is
drawn by capillary attraction thro-
ugh the wicks and saturates the COW
or. AS evaporation takes place, heat
IL taken from the inside of the re-
frigerator. thereby lowering the tenn
perature OF the inside and the con
tents. Capillary action starts more
readily II the cover is first dampened
by dipping It in water or throwing
water upon It. The greater the rate
of evaporation the lower the tenn
perature which can be secured; there
fore the refrigerator works best when
rapid evaporation takes place.
When the refrigerator is placed In
shady place In strong breeze and
the air is warm and dry, evaporation
takes place continuously and rapidly
and the temperature inside the re-
frigerator Is reduced. Under ideal
conditions the temperature has been
known to be reduced to- so degrees
r. When 1t is damp and the air IL
full of moisture, the refrigerator will
not work as we'll, since there Ia not
enough evaporation. More water will
lind It's way to the lower pan, but 1t

PATRIOTISM KEYNOTE
 IN "OVER THE TOP

"Over the Top" which is being pre- mory in Main street.. under the au- spices of the Home Guard was pro- duced to awaken the American peo- pie to a keener realization of just what their sons are up against lover there," and is built on actual condi- tions as they exist, and as Sergeant Empey himself found them in his IS months of fighting in the front line trenches somewhere in France" and as he pictures them in his book which has been picturized for the screen.
 Sergeant Empey's acting is said to be a true reflection of the man-nat- ural but strikingly forceful. Just; as he puts his dynamic energy into his patriotic work, he refights before the screen. the heroic deeds he performed lover there" The soldier-author acts as he fights and his decoration of sev- en wounds are silent tribute to his fighting abilities.
 The patriotic appeal is sustained throughout the picture to a powerful ending where Empey discovers on the body of c German general he has slain papers and charts diclosing a final German offensive destined to smash Allied line and open the way to Paris. As a screen masterpiece lover the Top stands second to none. The picture will be shown today and every day this week at 2:15 and SIS D. m.

First Lieutenant J. E. Murphy, 18th Regiment, U. s. l., arrived safely in France with the American Expedi- tiQnary Forces according to advices received today by his father, Col. T. J. Murphy, of this city.
 Lieut.. Murphy volunteered immedi- ately upon the declaration of war from Notre Dame University, and went into the training camp May 8, 1917, at Camp Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, where he received a com- mission as second lieutenant in the regular army in August.
 After two weeks leave of absence, part of it spent in Bridgeport, he was assigned to the 5Sth regiment then stationed at Gettysburg. From there he was sent to Fort sill, Oklahoma officers training quarters for trench work. He was promoted to first lieu tenant, and sent to rejoin his regi- ment at Camp Greene in North Car olina where he remained until em- barkation April 30. Lieut.. Murphy made flying visit tc Bridgeport to see his father, brothers and sisters for a brief time before | leaving. His many friends will be pleased to know of his safe arrival and feel confident he will give a gooc account of himself with the American army

THE TRADE AT HOME CLUB.

.One of our friends was indignant the other night over her failure to get one of the home merchants 10 deliver a clean collar for her boy to wear to a party. This woman has made it her practice to buy at out or town stores or at small mail order houses. It appeared about P. M. that her boy had no clean collar that he could wear. So she telephoned down to the store and asked the merchant to send her up a pair of collars for 25 cents.
 The merchant was just closing, and he would have to aS& a clerk to go considerably out of his way to de- liver that order. As the lady had never made it a practice to buy any thing of him, he did not feel under obligation to send it that night.
 Miserable service we get" snap ped the woman. A loyal Trade at Homer reminded her that if she and other people bought all their goods at home, the stores would be able to provide more expensive service and would feel under obligation to do so.
