THE ICE BOX.
Timely Talks by Commissioner Dix-
on on Health and Hygiene.
The ice box is a necessity in hot
climates for the preservation of milk
and meat. Where there are infants
and young children in the family the
proper care of the milk requires ice
in order that it may be kept at a suf-
ficiently low temperature to prevent
it from becoming a poison.
For the proper care of food during
the hot weather cleanliness of the
the vessels and ice box is essential.
The box should be cleansed thorough-
ly at frequent and regular intervals.
The interior should be washed first
with cold water and soap and them
rinsed with scalding water. The
drainage pipes should be kept free
from slime. When a rubber tube is
used to carry off the waste water,
this can’ be boiled without damaging
it.
The ice itself should be thorough-
ly washed always before it is put in-
to the box. Unless there is absolute
certainty that the ice is made from
filtered water or obtained from a
source free of sewage pollution it
should not be placed directly on food
or in the drinking water.
Economy and health will both be
served by placing the drinking wat-
er in a receptacle next to the ice. This
will bring it to as low a temperature
as is healthful. Iced drinks interfere
with digestion and are a menace to
health. They often arrest digestion
and not infrequently produce death
Red meats should never be frozen or
placed in contact with ice.
Scrupulous cleanliness will be re
paid by the saving in food stuffs and
the maintaining of their quality.

The Stenographer
Ebro be rErer
The new hospital stenographer was
alert to all that went on among the
nurses who filed by the desk, going to
and from from duty on the upper
floors or stopping to ask her for mail
One of these, Teresa, was distin-
guished both for weight and wit. All
liked Teresa, but none of them ever
took the trouble to let her know it.
It would have done her a lot of good,
sometimes, if they had.
As it was, when a grateful patient—
| “G. P.” among them—sent out invita-
tions for a little party, the question
arose as to how many of the girls in
training might go.
The stenographer overheard ‘Maggio
Irish” ask Teresa if she were going.
“No’—
“Why not?”
“well, if I did go and tried to have
any fun youd all call me the ele
phant; and then I haven't anything to
wear’—
That was the first time the stenog-
rapher had ever heard or seen Teresa
show that she was hurt by the care-
less girls, though she knew it.
Several journal entries were neg-
lected that afternoon, while the young
woman at the desk tried to fix up the
situation for Teresa. Wouldn't one of
Aunt Mary’s black laces be beautiful
on Teresa if her pretty black hair had
one or two waves in it?
The stenographer lunched with Aunt
Mary the next day, and carried home
, a black chiffon, which she sent by ex-
| press to Teresa, with a note. “From
| one who is mad because she isn’t plump
| enough to wear. a decent gown any
more.”
| She managed to get Teresa into an
| arrangement of stays, and she patted
up her hair in some puffs one night to
show her how, and then—just as she
was planning to be Teresa’s beau for
, the evening, of course something hap-
pened. She was laid up the whole day
of the party.
And Charley, whom she hadn’t seen
for a year, had to send on that very
afternoon a special delivery that he
was coming into town about 5 p. m.
for two or three days. Oh, was there
| any justice in anything? A spasm of
pain across her eyes answered.
Charley in town, and an evening for
something else planned previously,
and—both ruined. Oh, a
bright thought ran sharply as the
neuralgia. Charley could take Teresa
to the party. He knew a number of
the girls slightly, having been an in-
terne in the institution when some
. of them began training. It would do,
and help both Teresa and Charley.
When Charley came, was kissed and
sent away with a big, splendid-looking
girl in black, somehow the little
stenographer felt strange. They look-
ed—she watched them out of the win-
dow, leaning on one elbow in bed—
like prize Americans. - (The stenogra-
pher had funny ideas sometimes.)
Charley was very devoted during
the rest of the stay. You would never
have known that he had a thought of
another woman in his head. But the
time came, when he had returned, that
Charley’s letters grew less frequent,
“and Teresa used to get mail that was
same postoffice—and Teresa seemed
different to the girl at the desk. The
stenographer was too keen-visioned
for her own good.
“Well, my dear,” she said one day
to Teresa, “tell me: about it,” and
Teresa, being little less” perceptive,
confessed, and wept, like the big child
that she was.
“I had planned it from the very firsy,
you goose,” said the stenographer,
gayly.

Rough on the Dog.
Miss Carson was one of the young
women who are determined to always
have their own way in th face of ali
obstacles. When the conductor came
along to take up the tickets and found
her seated with a dog is her lap, he
said:
“Madam, I am very sorry, but youn
can’t have your dog in this car. It’s
against the rules.”
“I shall hold him in my lap all the
way,” she replied haughtily, “and he
will not disturb anyone.”
“That makes no difference,” said the
conductor. “I couldn’t allow my own
dog to ride in here. Dogs must ride
in the baggage car. I’ll fasten him all
right for you.”
“Don’t you dare to touch my dos,
sir!” cried Miss Carlson excitedly. “I
will trust him to no one!”
Very indignantly the young woman
marched to the baggage car, tied the
dog, and returned. About fifty miles
i farther on, when the conductor came
, through the car again, Miss Carlson
inquired:
i “Will you tell me if my dog is all
| right?”
«] am very sorry madam,” replied
| the conductor politely, “but you tied
| him to a trunk, and he was thrown off
| with it some time ago.”
