Cold colicky meals used TO be the
summer menu because no-one with a
heart could insist on mother" stand

that the family might eat appetizing
meals. No one wants to eat hot
roast on hot night, but then, cold
slices OF we'll cooked meat taste
mighty good even in hot weather. And
in order to have cold meats you must
first have hot meats.
There are electric cookers on the
market that make the roasting of meat
actually cool job. These cookers
can be used on your regular circuit,
no extra wiring being necessary. You
merely plug in at any electric outlet,
pre-heat your cooker, put in the roast
and after short time turn to low"
and go off and forget it until it is
time to take out the roast.
This same cooker will bake cake
or biscuits and steam vegetables. A
cool, clean method of cooking in hot
weather.
Then there are the various table
appliances that makes it possible to get
an appetizing breakfast, lunch or sup
per on a cool porch. A delicate ONE
let, tasty toasted cheese sandwiches,
crisp cinnamon toast or even broiled
chops with fresh green peas make a
good midsummer meal, and all of
them can be made quickly and coolly
on the electric table stove and toaster.
Even on the hottest day, the morning
coffee is essential to the hard working
business man and hot coffee served
coolly starts the day right.

for cool linens and still more cool

If Queen Isabella had had an ice
chest, Columbus would not have
discovered America, says Mrs.
Spottswood local Frigidaire dealer
at Key West.
Columbus was not hunting a
new continent you remember, he
was looking for new route to In
dia. If you will go back into your
history, you will find that those
who travelled the caravan routes
overland from Southern Europe
across to India experienced some
opposition from hostile tribes and
marauders along the road. Col
umbus conceived the idea that a
safer and more peaceful road to
India could be reached by faring
forth into the West, and SO he
went and discovered new world.
although he never reached India.
But why, you ask, was it so inn
portant to reach India! Well, MrS.
Spottswood went on to explain,
hey did not use ice in those days
In Southern Europe, but depended
upon spices to keep the meats and
other perishable foods which were
prepared and stored up against
further needs. India was the best
known available source of supply
for these spices, and so these adj
venturesome ancients brayed con-
siderable danger and experienced
untold hardships to secure the
spices which the house wives de-
handed in those days for curing
meats and perishable comestibles.
There was no such thing as cleo
trio refrigeration then, but we do
have electric refrigeration now,
and it makes no difference to the
housewife whether hostile tribes
are riding up and down the cara
