'PUT UP YOUR OVN
ICE IS WATTLES'
ADVICEJO USERS
indications Point to Famine in
Artificial Ice; Tells How to
Store the Natural
Product.
Creamery managers, farmers fnd
dealers, and others who use ice in
quantities are urged to put up their
own ice, this winter by the United
States food administration. This in
formaton came yesterday to Gurdon
W. Wattles, federal food adminis
trator for Nebraska, who urges the
following of the suggestions of the
national administration.
"You may not be able to buy ice
next summer, says Mr. Wattles.
unprecedented demands by our
army and navy for ammonia, com
bined with a transportation overload,
indicate a shortage in ammonia so
widely used m producing ce for re
frigeration.
'"There is little opportunity to in
crease the output of ammonia, so we
should anticipate any possible short
ages in ice next summer by putting
up plenty or ice now, when every
facility is at hand.
"The surest way to avoid an ice
shortage is a" large harvest of
natural ice 'stored locally so as to
make country establishments inde
pendent of the output of ice fac
tories, "Creameries' should put up Enough
ice for their own cooling and for re
frigeration in shipment.. Other in
dustries using ice in large quantities
should- put up enough to meet their
demaftds.'
These suggestions are offered by
Mr. Wattles for economic harvesting
of natural ice.
How to Store Ice.
Ice can be stored cheaply. Includ
ing hauling and packing and interest
on the investment in the building, it
should be done for $1 a ton.
45e sure that the water is clean and
free from vegetable matter. Nothing
can save water that is polluted.
Ice should be cut in regular sizes,
the best sizes being 22 by 22 inches
or 22 ty 32 inches. Be sure that all
snow is scraped from the ice field.
Forty to SO cubic feet of space
in the ice house' should be allowed
for a . ton of ice. The ice should be
packed in a cube as nearly as pos
sible. There should be no open
spaces between the blocks. Ventila
tion should be at the top.
The . food administration is arrang
ing with artificial ice manufacturers
to use, natural ice this summer so far
as possible and will be able to put
those who have ice to sell in touch
with purchasers, according to Mr.
Wattles.

construction. Among the speakers will be Dr.
Horace Day, national moderator of
the Congregational church, Bridge

tional church of Omaha.

glee clubs, composed of 44 voices,
from Doane college, Crete, Neb., and

SPLiS
To Have Perfect Skin
Throughout the Winter
These days the face and hands need spe
cial care and attention. Strong winds, quick
changes of temperature from indoors to out
doors are severe on the sin. Their despoil
inir effects are best overcome b the ap
plication of pure mercollzed wax. This keeps
skin and pores in a cleanly condition, the
complexion beautifully white and spotless.
Chapped, reddened, blotchy and roughened
cuticle are actually absorbed by it. One
ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any
drug store, is sufficient to completely reno
vate a weather-beaten complexion. It is
used like cold cream, allowed to remain on
over night, and washed off in the morning.
As the skin tends to expand in a warm
atmosphere, cheeks and chin to sag and
wrinkles to form, a good astringent lotion
should be used by the woman who keeps
pretty much indoors these days. Dissolve
one ounce of powdered saxolite in one-half
pint witch haze). Bathe tha face in this
mornings or before going out for theater
or social affair. It is a remarkable skin
tightener and wrinkle eraser. Adv.
Big Eaters Get
Kidney Trouble
Take Salts at first aign of Bladder irritation
'or BackacKc
The American men and women
must guard constantly against Kid
ney trouble, becatSse we eat too much
and all ouYsfood is rich. Our blood is
filled with uric acid which the kid
neys strive to filter out, they wjaken
from overwork, become sluggish; the
eliminative tissues clog and the re
sult is kidney trouble, bladder wtik
ness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have
rheumatism when the weather is bad,
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before,
breakfast for a few days and youi
kidneys will then act fine'. This fa
mous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and ' has been used fcr
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is a
source of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time. Advertisement
