Manning, home refrigeration expert.
Hot foods should arrive on the
table really hot, on warmed dishes,

chilled china and glass, decorated
with riffs of shaved ice.
The housewife who is accustomed
to take ice only during the hottest
weather is familiar with the half
hearted appetite and indifference to
food that her family shows just af-

seems eft to eat" In all too many
homes where the best of food sup

food at a uniform tepid tempera-

ice the year round, of course, from
the point Of view of delicious food
and the consideration of good health
that shows itself in daily physical
fitness. Ice service costs very little.

the home menu as making sure that
soups, meats and vegetables inyar-
1ably arrive at the table piping hot

dishes should be used and the SER

proposal for f1ve-power naval limita-
