to be gained by the use Of the soda
In shaving, If the mug were first filled
with water covering the soap and al
lowed 10 stand for a few minutes. most
Of the undesirable scum from the hard
water would gather on the surface:
this scum could then be poured off and
the remaining water would be much
softer and would furnish a good lather
with the soap.
Remedy Depends on Use.
When large amounts of water are
used, such as in bathing and laundry
work, the problem likewise becomes
large, but with careful study it would
seem that in the end very little trouble
should be experienced in securing soft
er water. Waters used for boilers, for
irrigation and for certain manufac-
turing establishments usually require
special kind Of treatment for each diff
ferent use, and the methods used for
sofUening these waters might not be
applicable to those used for domestic
purposes For cooking purposes most
waters are rendered fit by simply boil
ing. whereas this treatment would
probably not suffice for the same wa
ter used for irrigation or boilers.
Soaps and SOfteners4
Other remedies for the sOftening Of
waters, beside those mentioned in this
article are to be found, and indeed
many of them are at present in use
then too. there are certain soaps on
the market, which are intended TO
serve the double purpose Of a water
sOftener and a lather producer at the
same time by a single application.
However. the intent of this article is
not 10 offer any special remedy for
use. but to suggest that the housewife

so miles north Of Silver city, was dis
covered. Reports from three other sta
lions came in shortly afterWard from
two other loOkOuts, and the IRE was
located within a mile and the nearest
rangers sent at once to the scene
The fire is in one Of the rougleSL
and most remote sections OF the Glla

pectOrs in all this region, and the only
possible wdy for the fire 20 start was
by lightning. On that assumption, IL
must have been smOuldering Tor a

lions keep the cattle out the grass

ficulty, the whole region is covered
with immense granite bOulders- travel

In spite of the disadvantages, the
fire is reported under control now and
the total area burned is eStmaled at
1000 acres. Twenty men were fighting

contain considerable temporary hard
ness, which is removed to a large ex-

The water thus partially sOftened may
