SOFTENING WATER.
Lime and Soda Cheaper Than Hard
Water Soaps.

Lime and Soda Cheaper Than Hard
Water Soaps.
Some hard water soaps have been
placed on the market, but lime and
soda are much cheaper for softening
laundry water. Many we'll waters have
from sixteen to eighteen degrees OF
hardness, while even river and lake
waters may have from five to twen-
ty.five degrees. Hardness is usually
due to the presence of compounds OF
lime and magnesia dissolved out OF
the soils and rocks. The lime salts
DO most of the damage by curdling
the soap and preventing its cleansing
action. The curdled soap remains in
the water. sticks to the tibers of the
cloth, and is very difficult to remove
by washing. even with hot water. Wa
ter of ten degrees of hardness will
prevent the action of seventeen pounds
of soap per thousand gallons OF water,
while water of twenty degrees of hard
ness will prevent the action of thirty.
four pounds of soap per thousand gal
Ions of water.
Much of the hardness OF water may
be removed by the addition OF two
pounds of quick lime to one thousand
gallons OF water OF average hardness,
This will not remove more than about
three-quarters OF the hardness of the
water; but it can be Still further soft
ened by adding a little washing soda

CAUCUS ON THE TARIFF
Democratic Congressman Will En-

WASHINGTON, April 9.-House demo.

tariff bill, after the majority of the
ways and means committee had met to
formulate q tariff program for sub.
mission. The house itself had ad-
jOurped until tomorrow to give u full
day for the majority to map out the
lines for the work appointed. The
caucus will be succeeded by others,
one each day for several days, and
will he secret. A fight, backed with
the moral support Of President Will
son for an open caucus, was lost last
night. To an extent the house may
be Influenced by the senate On the
question of dividing the bill for pass.
age into schedules. Some democrat attic
members favor this, 20 that separate
votes may be had On the sugar aud
wool propositions. 1t is believed
President Wilson still 10 open for con.
viction on those points though it is
thought be is inclined toward Chair
man Underwood's idea of single bill.
The issue ss to q single tariff bill
or . revision schedule by schedule,
al brought up by Representative
Hardwick.
Representative Underwood in
short statement, pointed out the senti-
ment of his committee in favor OF q
single tariff bill. When the commit
tee took . recess, late in the afternoon,
the question had not come to q vote,
but the sentiment of the caucus ap-
parently favored q single bill.
Senate leaders still are insistent that
the Underwood bill be subdivided so
that separate votes nav be had, If
desired, upon the sugar and wool
schedules. One plan that has been
proposed to President Wilson is that
of schedules being grouped in such q
way that the tariff will be comprised
In four separate measures. These
proposals. are based on q growing be-
lief that opponents of the sugar and
wool provisions may muster strength
enough to threaten defeat of the bill.
