day. They close their salads care

cream to their order and then set
tied back to wait and chat. Nat
uraily the woman expected to hear
a discussion OF spring wardrobes.
Instead the theme was far more
enthralling. The two girls. school
friends of former years, meeting
after months OF separation. were
comparing notes on why neither had
married.

won't marry just for something to

Keeping Our
Ice Pure

A n important hygienic precaU-
~ tion against disease is the
proper management OF our
ice supply. The FIRST step in this
direction is system of sanitary
inspection of the source OF the
ice supply. since ice should never
be made or obtained from water
not clean enough for drinking.
Ice Is not SO important a factor
in the spread of disease as milk
and water, but there is enough
danger from IL to warrant care in
certain directions. The water from
which our ice is cut can be in
spected for the presence of typhoid
germs or tubercle bacilli. If there
is any extensive sewage pollution
OF the water from which the ice
comes there may be solid matter
frozen into II which can harbor ac-
tive bacteria of "A disease -produc-
ing nature.
There Is very little danger Of in
fection from ice stored for a Pc
riod OF three months. even though

age further eliminates the germs.

The transportation of ice from

sumer is the most dangerous thing.
as most Of the hands or tools which
are to touch II are very likely to
be unclean. In the home the danger
lies mostly in the handling OF the
ice with unclean hands. especially
when 1t is dropped directly into
drinking water under these con-
ditions.
Under intelligent management,
however, ice should not be a men
ace to the health, as IL does not
absorb impurities like milk and
water, and because it is 30 easily
washed when II has become con-
contaminated in transportation.

Bring Spring
Into. Home

There is no time Of the year
when it seems so absolutely as
sential to happiness to have some-
thing growing and green in our
rooms as in the early spring. Later
on, when the summer is here. there
is so much growing out OF doors
that we do not crave the indoors
ereenery so greatly. And in tho
winter, Of course, we simply stife
cur desire for summery things.
anyway, IL we have to. But in the
spring, especially IL we are city
bound, we crave something grow
ing.
Well. IL isn't hard to get.
We must simply disply little
patience, a little care, to have our
rooms really yernal in their atmos-
rhere.
The whole secret OF having
pretty growing things about is to
be sure to give them food and
light and air. Don't soak your
plants with water one day and
then let them go dry ss dust for
a fortnight. Ask the florist from
whom you buy them how often
and how much they should be
watered. and then follow the di-
reotions.
And don't bleach them out in
the shadowy corners Of the room
three quarters of the time and
then burn them In the sunshine
the other quarter. Again be guided
by what the florist says as to how
much light and air they should
have.
II you can't grow anything else
you can certainly grow that old
standby, inch plant, or wandering
jew. II grows easily and can be
made to produce charming results.

The thing for this wife to do

There are a number of simple

just the thing. Apply sauce,

the apple sauce without sugar and
