Then follows some illuminating material on scientific refrigeration in homes. A series of diagrams, accompanied by action showing refrigerators in use, bring out with surprising clearness the principles of refrigeration and insulation. Charts made by automatic recording devices show interesting comparisons between the temperature and humidity of a modern refrigerator as compared with a poor refrigerator and also with conditions in the outside air.

It also contains some valuable information concerning economy and food preservation which every housewife and every student of science will want to know. 1 Reel Courtesy of KINNEAR PICTORIAL SERVICE 2002 MAN The human body is one of the most marvelous mechanisms in existence.
