Hot Weather Suggestions.

To keep ice water cold a long time with little ice when the weather is hot, try this: Take a pitcher of ice Hid water and set it In the middle of newspaper. Gather the four corners it the top, bring the edges together with a strong rubber band to exclude the air. It will keep all night with very little melting of the ice. To keep butter firm without ice set a large crock In a cool spot In It place a email bowl upside down. On this bowl place the butter dish with the next meal’s supply wrapped In died paper. Put a clean cloth over this, lotting the ends rest on the bottom at the crock. Now fill crook with water up to the bottom of butter dish. Wrap a large towel entirely around the crock. In two hours hotter will be firm.
