THE COOLING
PROBLEM
BY Loretto c. Lynch

r N the summertime some sort of
refrigeration is Just as neces-
sary to the proper keeping Of
food as the food itself ID necessary
to life. Yet the subject of refriger.
alton Is often passed over lightly
and much illness snsues.
There are many makes Of refrig-
orator on the market, each with
merit and at varying prices. But
the points to be looked for in q
worthwhile one are these: The
icebox should be large enough for
the needs OF the family without
ones having to put food Of any
kind Into the chamber set apart
for the Ice. Then the box should
be Of such material and such in
terlinings as to make Il impossible
for, the surrounding heated air of
the room to pass into the interior.
Buy sufficient ice to thoroughly
chill the box. It is often more
economical to buy ice Monday and
Tuesday than to buy Ice Monday
and wednesday. For q thoroughly
chilled icebox may not need icing
again until Thursday or Friday II
It 10 well packed with ice on Mon
day and Tuesday.
II takes much extra ice to chill
a box that has been allowed to run
out Of ice, not to mention the dan
ger to the food.
There are number of devices
on the market which aim to pre-
vent ice fromlmelting. Some house
wives wrap Ice In Newspaper or an
oid blariket to prevent II from melt
ing. II must be realized, however,
that any device which prevents Ice
from melting Is not always desir.
able because II is by the very proc
ess Of melting that the ice makes
the icebox cold.
Nothing that Ii spoiled shouid be
allowed In the refrigerator even for
q short time. Once a week at
least the icebox should have q thor
ough cleansing. Take out.food and
Toe. Wrap the Ice 10 prevent Il
melting while out Of the box. Re
move shelves and pipe. Wash with
hot water and soda. Twist q cloth
around q wire and put through
drain pipe. Slime from the melting
Zoe adheres to this pipe. Pour boil
ing soda water through IL. Let the
box cool before returning the ice
and let the box chill before return
ing food II that Is possible. Scrub
and clean the ice pan--if there is
one--at least once each week.
