But you will remember that the linings of the refrigerator are not of marble no matter how much they resemble it, but instead must be made in one piece of smooth, hard, non-porous, non-warpable, non rustable material, the best type of which is the burnt-in vitreous porcelain in several layers on a metal backing. These linings must be made in one piece with no seams. No seams and seamless are quite different in their implication. “No seams” is what it seems to indicate, but seamless means a camouflage of joints. Joints and seams are food and odor entrappers and presage disease and death. Many of the advertised enameled interiors are made of nothing but paint heated, not burnt-in, which therefore flakes off or crazes (cracks form) and falls into the food, which of course is not a particularly epicurean sort of truffle! The doors, too, must be seamless, jointless, screwless and smooth. The shelves and other partitions must be of smooth, heavily tinned wire mesh. Smooth to prevent accumulation of food; and the wire mesh to insure rapid and unimpeded circulation of air. THE NINE POINTS Whereas some refrigerator owners may keep butlers, the following points are more essential to the maidless home, because effort and energy and strength are saved to say naught of money and ice if conditions are such that the ice will not fade away rapidly and cleaning have to be done under difficulties of construction. Therefore, to preserve the sanitation of the home and the consequent sanity of the world before buying a refrigerator the following Nine Points should be laid before the Kitchen Diplomatic Table: 1. Does it: Maintain a low and uniform temperature? 2. Maintain a pure atmosphere? 3. Appear to keep absolutely sanitary? 4. Seem to be built to keep perfect circulation and an absence from odors? 5. Keep free from moisture? 6. Seem built to be economical in ice consumption? 7. Have a system to insure perfect drainage? 8. Contain a porcelain lining in provision chamber? 9. And does it seem to be built for durability as well as for beauty? And now about enforcing the Nine Points. THE INSULATION
