WINTER AND

When we speak of "spoiled foods” we mean those
in which bacteria (some of them decidedly injurious
to health) have multiplied to the extent that the
food is unfit for consumption. . . . Heat promotes
bacteria development, whether it is summer heat, or
kitchen heat in winter. . . . Bacteria also destroys
delicacy of flavor and aroma, so it follows that . . .

While weather conditions will cut down the amount
you use in winter, it is essential to health, and es-

your refrigerator well iced the year around ... it

thousands of others . . . that your winter ice bill
will be more than paid by the money you save
from eliminating spoiled foods and doctor bills.
