Why restaurants take
ice the year ’round
They art in the business of handle Mod on a large scale;
they knew the economy of Ice, even in midwinter, by keeping
food in a steady, dry cold.
Food waste to them Is a big Item; they not only havo to
keep food from spoiling, they have to keep the crisp, delicate
flavor In It and th* full nutritive valut jehlch attic food loses.
Ice In a good restaurant or hotel le Indispensable at all tea-
eons of the year. So It Is in a good Home, especially these
days when weather it so changeable.
When the air around It la 50 degrees or higher, milk epolie
rapidly; oo dost moat; veg etables wilt and fruit starts to rot.
Why take euch a risk whs i ice costs but a few cents a day?

MCKOIN WILL RESIST
EXTRADITION FROM THE
BALTIMORE LIMITS
(Continued from page one)
would await receipt of the papers be
fore isuring a statement At that
time, he said, he would hear both of
the case and yonder an impartial
decision.
Meanwhile friends of Dr. McKoin
e rallying to. his assistance. Tele
grams were received yesterday from
persons pledging their moral
and financial support Among them
me from two physicians signing
themselves as Fellows of the Atheri-
College of Surgeons. Another
telegram from the Central Savings
and Trust Company of Mer Rouge,
La., offered to deposit any amount of
money in a local bank in an effort
obtain release of Dr. McKoin.
Dr. Hugh Young, head of the
Brady Institute of the Johns Hopkins
Medical School, with whom Dr. Me-
Koin has been associated since be
arrivecTTiere last Oct. 1, made public
the telegrams received. That from
t trust company reads:
“The Central Saving and Trust
Company of Mer Rouge, will indemni
fy you to any amount you might
incur as a result of the arrest of Dr,
McKoin. The bank will deposit in
any bank in Baltimore city sufficient
funds to cover any bonds that you
might pledge for Dr. McKoin/*
an interview with newspaper
prior to his arrnigment in police
t yesterday rooming Dr. Mc
Koin stated he was unable to throw
any light on the deaths of Thomas
Richards and Watt Daniels, whose
mutilated bodies were found several
days ago in Lake LaFourche neai
Mer Rouge.
.t one time,” Dr. McKoin said,
as willing to go back and tell
them all that I could about condition!
it Mer Rouge, but now I will fight
-equisition to the last ditch.”
While angered at hia arrest, Dr
McKoin is inclined to treat the mat-
lightly. He aaid he could account
for every hour prior to the kidnaping
of the murdered men and every
minute since their mysterious disap
pearance. When asked how he could
account for ail the time so accurately
since August when the men disappear
ed, Dr. McKoin retorted:
Dr. McKoin reiterated he was not
member «( the Km Klux Klau.
Neither had he been asked to join ths
organization, he said. In fairness
them however,” 'he added. ”1
st say they have done much good
work in the matter of ridding Mer
s of undesirables. I didn’t
to say that they have driven
pebple out of own. On the contrary
they have, by the uso of common
sense, talk and tact, made good men
of individual* who undoubtedly
would have landed in jail soon or
later.”
Asked to cite a particular instance
where the klan had been responsible
for turning a law-breaker Into a good
citizen, the former mayor stated:
“I know dozens of them, but I do
►t care to talk about the activities
of the klan at this time.”
Former United States District At
torney Robert R. Carman of counsel
for the accused stated he would fight
any efTort at extradition by the Louis-
a governor.
"Dr. McKoin did not flee from
Louisiana after the trouble at Mei
Rouge,” he said. "He remained
there for many weeks after the death
of the two man. He was with hi*
father thirty miles away from Mer
Rouge from August until October,
when he came to Baltimore at the
request of Dr. Young, who offered
permit him to associate with him
at the Johna Hopkins Hospital.
“The mayor placed himself at tha
disposal of the district attorney of the
county seat and was in consultation
with him for a long tima before ha
left. There was nothing for him tu
hide and be gave whxtever informa
tion he bad at hia command.”
