s o HOVES ENFANCED BY REFRIGERATORS 20th Century Living Ad- vanced Greatly by Modern Cooling Plants. . ! Tn thousands of modern homes the standards of twentieth century living have been immeasurably advanced by the architects’ and buliders' stand in favor of more modern refrigerating | cquipment. Time was . when the Lousewife depended upon tire well cooler, the crock of cold Wwater, of the basement to keep the butter firm, the milk sweet and the meat and other victuals cool and 'unspolling. It is not so very long ago that the! vse of lce refrigerators advanced from the luxury stage to the position of an 4mportant necessity. Corre-; spondggly the individuals and the comgmunity’s health standard has Tn raised, a greater variety diet fias been made possible. and money saved by reason of the way cold storage, on a large scale, has made possible the conservation and dis- | tribution of seasonable foods in un- seasonable periods. Fven the family In most moderate clrcumstances finds the refrigerator 2 money saver, to say nothing of its importance in eliminating & great many incidental doetor bills. ~ The average family ice box plays an im- portant part In malntaining the household budget at a normal point, lelping to keep unconsumed dishes intact for another meal. In larger. well appointed residences the refrig- erator functions almost as does the vefrigerator In a shop, storing a va- | REAL ESTATE. ried and miscellaneous list of edibles, | .. Gelicacies and appetizers, without which the preparation of the dishes on the mealtime menu of the well appointed large household would re- quire a still larger service retinue. Iceman Is Fixture. "he Iceman has become as much a fixture of modern life as the milk- man or the postman. would ou_like to be the iceman?” has lost | s first facetious application, for his | position has attalned the dignity of & profession. He knows, for instance, ehen an ice user is using false econ- omy by ordering fifty pounds of ice for a 100-pound refrigerator stored to the limit of its capacity, or when there is wastage from the improper | placing of a refrigerator where it is exposed to the action of sun r: &tove heat ray: He usual the families with whom he deals and tekes care, if there are no facilitles for outsiir icing, that the clean floor of the kitchen or pantry is not un- e sarlly mussed with the putting in of the ice. And where would the children be without the daily advent of the icewagon and those free, ex- hilarating, refreshing, tongue-ting- ling chunks of ice! The architect and the builder see | to it that the refrigerator is so con-| structed and placed as to insulata its cooling chambers most thoroughl against the warmer outer air. With- in, it provides a continuous circula- tion of air in such wise as to keep every corner thoroughly sweet and dry, "and maintains a uniformly low temperature. The ice consur-ption of & well made refrigerator is unusually Jow, making it advisable to choose only the best when buving, since it ig-cheapest in the long run. This eglnomlcal refrigerator applies equal- 1 well to refrigerators where the cooling is done mechanically by re- frigerating machinery. A poorly con- structed refrigerator can make even the best ‘mechanical refrigeration in- effective. knows A refrigerator needs to he cleaned often. Once a month is imperative orce a week is not too often for cleaning thoroughly. Hot dishes should be cooled before they are put in the refrigerator, and the drain| pipe never permitted to connect di- Teetly with the sewer.
