'fill the kitchen without a Ventilator 
Life into Your Kitchen 
Place an llg Kitchen Ventilator in your kitchen and 
you daily experience the Joy—the thrill—you do 
when cooking over the campfire, breathing the 
breath of the great outdoors. 
All those unpleasant heavy cooking odors that take 
your appetite, that overheated exhausting air you 
now toil in, is then changed — the air is sweet 
and full of life and energy, made so by the 
And those uncontrollable greasy cooking fumes 
no longer float through every room, laying their 
soiling fingers on curtains, walls and decorations. 
The ILG Kitchen Ventilator removes them. 
Moderate in cost. Easily installed in part of 
window or in wall. Connected with any electric 
light socket. Costs but a cent an hour. Fully 
guaranteed. Go today to your hardware or 
electrical dealer for demonstration; or write us 
direct for illustrated literature. 
The llg is the only ventilating fan with fully en-- 
closed selFcooled motor — used in thousands of 
restaurants, hotels, homes, offices, stores, factories, 
theatres, etc.

Freezing the American Dish 
{Continued from page 86) 
Government Bulletins are full of these 
ratios if you want to look up this matter. 
On this subject Bowen of the United 
States Department of Agriculture in 
Bulletin 98 says: 
When two solid bodies, as salt and 
ice, mix to form a layer, a certain 
amount of heat becomes latent, called 
the latent heat of solution. Since this 
latent heat is taken from the mixture 
itself the temperature falls correspond¬ 
ingly. The temperature obtained by a 
salt and ice mixture depends on relative 
proportions of the mixture and to a 
less extent on the salt at which the heat 
is supplied from the outside, the size of 
the ice lump and salt particles and the 
amount and density of the resulting 
brine. Hence it is impracticable to give 
other than approximate temperatures 
with fixed ratios of salt and ice. 
It usually takes thirty minutes at least 
to freeze a gallon of ice cream. 
Freezers 
Electric freezers come from about $75 
up and can be had for alternate (A.C.) 
or direct (D.C.) current. 
The advantage of the freezer with its 
own directly-connected motor, rather 
than a motor which has to be connected, 
is readily apparent to those who have 
suffered the annoyance of belting, pul¬ 
leys and countershafts. Being self-con¬ 
tained, such an outfit may be readUy 
located at will; to operate merely re¬ 
quires securing it in place and connect¬ 
ing the wires. You have, therefore, no 
belts with attendant annoyance and ex¬ 
pense, no countershaft with its necessity 
for continued attention and causing 
vibration, nor is there dirt and oil being 
thrown here and there. In addition to 
the mechanical advantages secured by 
the motor-driven ice cream freezer unit, 
there are had by its use cleanliness and 
increased space. 
Every freezer should be so^ made that 
the action of scrapers and dasher is con¬ 
tinuous. Some freezers have a device in 
which the scrapers are hung on the 
dasher so their lower ends rest on the 
bottom of the can, and the friction be¬ 
tween ends of scrapers and can bottom 
when in motion moves the scrapers 
against the side of the can, and holds 
tneu. there positively and continuously. 
Tubs 
The tubs should be strong and if pos¬ 
sible bound with welded wire hoops or 
metal bands. If the tub is metal this 
is unnecessary. Tubs are made of pine, 
white cedar, etc. The zinc tub is a 
good substitute for the wooden tub, but 
the wooden one is good if made water 
tight and smooth and easy ten clean. All 
parts of the freezer should be non- 
rustable, especially the can. 
The best cans are made with drawn- 
steel bottoms. They do not leak, do not 
fall out, as may happen with those 
having the tin plate or cast bottoms. 
The best bodies of the can are made 
of heavy tin plate. The top of can is 
strongly wired and turned over, while 
the bottom of can is made to fit over 
and under the drawn steel bottom. 
All gears must be completely covered 
so that neither ice nor salt can get in 
the cogs nor the fingers be caught and 
injured. Some freezers have gearing 
enclosed in a box-like fixture. 
The inside parts touching the cream 
should be of harmless metal, generally 
of pure block tin. All outside parts 
should be smoothly finished, galvanized 
usually. 
The ice space between the can and 
the tub must be so arranged as to use 
the least amount of ice and salt, and 
freeze as quickly as possible. 
The cross bars which connect the 
handles and cover and clamp on the 
opposite side are often a source of 
agony. These must be simple in opera¬ 
tion. Some freezers have a clamp, some 
a key. This is a matter of choice and 
manufacturer. Some cross bars are 
hinged and others are dove-tailed. 
Freezers are supplied with fly wheel 
instead of cranks to turn. The fly 
wheel costs a little more but it is far 
more convenient, as it requires less 
turning. 
Some freezers have a glass peep hole 
in cover of can so one can see the 
progress of the freezing and obviate 
loss of time and cold by opening the can. 
Scrapers are <made of rolled steel bars 
ground straight and fine to fit can and 
to insure clean scraping of the cream, 
so that all parts of the mixture are being 
frozen continuously. 
The dashers and beater are usually of 
malleable iron heavily coated with pure 
block tin. Generally (and better so) 
there is one scraper for the bottom of 
the can and two metal scrapers for side. 
Buying Freezers 
The- same principals hold in buying 
freezers as any other culinary utensil. 
They must be seamless, smooth, easily 
cleaned, non-dangerous, non-corrosive, 
non-chipping and be made by reputable 
manufacturer. 
Besides the freezer must have ease in 
running; quick freezing, economy, con¬ 
venience, and give practical results. 
Freezers are equipped with best stan¬ 
dard motors. The motors should be so 
placed as to eliminate danger of motors 
burning out or being injured by careless 
handling of the ice and salt. 
In ordering a motor outfit include the 
following—your voltage. Direct or Alter¬ 
nating Current; if Alternating what 
Cycle and Phase 
Buy a freezer with thought. All ma¬ 
chinery pays better when the best is 
bought and close attention has been 
given to the purchase.
