 water, the milk given to the children, the firm butter squares or balls, the crisp salad and the cold or frozen dessert that completes the dinner, to the iced beverage that is so popular when taken just before retiring, the refrigerator plays an important part in making food appetizing and inviting.

With a reliable refrigerator not only fresh food supplies but left-overs are kept from spoiling. With a little thought you will find that almost anything can go into a soup, hash, stew, salad or ice cream. Many of the dishes suggested in the menus may be made of small amounts of foodstuff added to salad dressing, whipped cream or custard.

We suggest that you study the recipes and especially the suggestions that follow many of the recipes until you acquire the dare to make other combinations than those suggested. Salads and desserts not listed in any cook book can easily and quickly be put together, and never twice alike. If chilled or frozen they will be greeted by a delighted family. All the alluring drug store favorites can be prepared from pure materials and served at meal time, as they should be.
