Coal Trade Cites Palmer Move to Curb Prices

The Attorney General’s drive to curb coal price spikes cites a New York Wholesale Coal Trade Association plan.

How to clean a refrigerator properly in weekly care

Household specialists from the United States Department of Agriculture advise preventive care for clean and safe refrigeration. Wash ice, store foods in clean covered dishes, inspect contents regularly, remove spoiled items, and clean thoroughly once a week by emptying, washing racks, scrubbing the drainpipe, and drying. Use hot soap or soda solution, rinse, and air dry. Nonice box fridges and teeless units require similar routines with shelves, curtains, and food safes cleaned and sun-dried.
