coming week to allow Of the replac-

Substitutes for Refrigerator.
To make a cold box get a good
strong box without any cracks or
crevices the size you need, and pack
tightly with layers of newspapers for
four or five inches all around the sides
and at the bottom, then fit asbestos
paper tightly around this packing.
Make the packing tight as a drum, so
that no air can get in. Place the
cold food in large stone jars with stone
covers and pack them touching each
other in this box. Place pail of ice
water in the box also. Put several
inches of layers of newspapers or ex-
CeISlOT on Top. linen On Top Ol al lHlS
place a thick, firm cushion. Keep the
box in the coolest place you can find.
Ice cream will keep for hours when
packed in ice and salt and placed in
such a box. Any food which does not
require to be stirred. but only frozen,
may be put in and kept cool until
needed. The same way with all cold
drinks which on hot day get warm
so quickly. If you want them to keep
cold. put them in your cold box. 1t Will
keep milk from souring, butter from
melting and ice water from getting
warm. To keep lettuce and all other
greens deliciously fresh. first wet with
cold water, shake off much as pos
sible, then seal in glass jars and place
in the box.
Another good substitute for an ice
box is made from a box three or four
feet square, filled four or FIVE inches
deep with clean coarse salt. Keep the
salt well dampened and put milk, but

refrigerator.
An improvised refrigerator may. be
made by placing on top of an ordinary
