This will enable the American Red
'Cross to continue Its humanitarian ef
fort to aid stricken peoples to re-estab
lish them selves, to fight the disease epi
demics which threaten many countries
,and to efface largely the remaining
'traces of the blight left by the World

'that will hare a direct bearing on fu
ture conditions In America.
Central Europe, the chief sufferer
ifrom the conflict, today is facing an
[other winter of famine, pestilence and
'ruin. Typhus decreased much during
Ithe summer months where last winter
it had its greatest stronghold, but phy
sicians who Investigated the situation
(at the behest of the League of Red
(Cross Societies have given their un
qualified opinion that this coining win
der will see a recurrence on an un
precedented scale. The Red Cross
feels It must continue preventive mens
jures abroad to keep this and other
(deadly maladies from the United
iStates.
Millions for Work at Homo.
When the disease was sweeping Cen
tral Europe lust winter the American
Red Cross, with the aid of the govern
menu of afflicted nations, undertook Ihe
fight against It. Hospitals were estab
lished wherever possible and food and
[clothing were distributed to the un
dernourished populations, who by rea
son of their undernourishment were
easy prey to the epidemics. Where
[disorganization contributed last year
do the great inroads made by the dis
ease, by virtue of its knowledge of the
disease and the presence of well es
tabllshed hospital centers, Ihe Ameri
can Red Cross this year will undertake
ithe work with anew confidence.
Including the total of $11,000,000 In
supplies left from the last fiscal year,
jhe $31,700,000 is $21,000,000 less than

i I self. 'Phe difficulty is. It must be
sandwiched in between numerous reg
ular tasks.
Help Difficult to Obtain.
It is almost impossible nowadays to
obtain help in the home; so, especial
ly |n those homes where there are
.small children, as much work as pos
sible must be sent out to relieve the
burdens of the housewife and mother.
A community canning kitchen, either

COOL AIR IN CELLAR
MAY DO WORK OF ICE
Most Essential Part ot Keeping
House in Summer.
Miniature Iceless Refrigerator Is Made
by Inverting an Unglazed Earthen
ware Flowerpot in a Dish
or Pan of Water.
Keeping food cool is an essential
part Hi Miinmer housekeeping. With
ice and a well-made ice chest, ditli
cultles are few, but without t hem
other methods are necessary. YVe
must have a cool place for storage it
we are to have good meals made up
of foods properly kept and appetiz
ingly served. When iee is not avail
able we can use devices which make
cool air cold water and evaporating
water do the work of Ice.
We can usually count upon finding
cool air in the cellar, atul it is valu
able indeed If clean ami well venti
lated. But one housewife Immediate
ly says, “I am too busy to use my
time carrying the food tip and down
ihose cellar steps” Kvery housewife
is. but how about a dumb waiter on
which the food could be sent to and
from the cellar?
A shaft made of hoards and plaster
and extending from the cellar through
the roof by way of the kitchen or pan
try is another device which has proved
useful in some parts of the country
for using llie cool air of the cellar.
Wire or perforated shelves are lilted
into the shaft and a door opens from
it. As the air in the upper part of
the shaft grows warmer the cold air
from the cellar is drawn up and the
constant upward movement colder
,ii the food on llie shelves.
TUB BA KNOW TIMES. WI NDER, GEORGIA.
tthelr products to be canned at a fixed
.price per can or that in which mein
jbers work in groups on special days
with the help of modern large-scale
equipment, saves garden products
which would otherwise waste because
|the housewives of the locality have
inot time or strength to can them. It
[conserves food for those who are un
able to conserve for themselves, arid
relieves the pressure of work In the
home at a busy season.
Various types of canning kitchens
are in use today in different parts of
the country. The successful one must
be adapted io tlie needs of the lo
cality. Usually much more is canned
in one of these kitchens than the fam
ilies Interested In it can use. It is
customary to sell this surplus and use
the proceeds towaril paying expenses.
Financing the Enterprise.
Some working capital is needed at
the outset for the purchase of ade
quate equipment. Expenses for rent,
fuel, salaries, raw materials, and mis
cellaneous items, 100, must be met for
some time before returns can be real
ized from tlie products canned. It is
therefore necessary to make definite
plans for financing the kitchen, based
on a careful estimate of probable ex
penses. Community kitchens have been
financed in various ways —for example,
by school boards, by boards of trade,
by business men’s associations, by
loans from banks or from individuals,
and by membership fees. Direct gifts
from individuals or a small group of
persons is, perhaps, in the end, the
least satisfactory method. The mem
bership-fee idea Is l tie best in the opin
ion of flie United States department
of agriculture, which is advocating
community canning kitchens.
Building and Equipment.
The selection of a building and its
equipment should be considered joint
ly, for the type of equipment frequent
ly depends upon the sort of building
to be used. Since a primary object
of the community canning kitchen is
to secure tlie lies! returns for the
time, effort, anil capital invested, tlie
use of modern labor-saving equipment,
thoroughly adequate for the kind and
volume of work to be done, will prove
economical in the end.
