PAIGE MAN ADVISES
TIME TO CLEAN OUT
THE COOLING SYSTEM

While friend wife is enjoying her
annual housekeeping bee and mis-
laying the furniture, friend husband
has a few Jobs that he might as well
get busy at. According to the cal
endar the warm days are in the Of
fling and will soon be reckoning to
the open road. II is the advice of
experienced automobile service men
that now is the time TO give the
car a thorough inspection and take
the necessary measures to put it in
first class shape for summer use.
When it comes to overhauling a
or tuning it up many motorists are
inclined to overlook the cooling sys-
tenn" says the chief of Paige serv-
ice. This is a mistake, for there is
nothing more vital to efficient OPP
Grafton and performance. At this
time Of year I would advise every
car owner TO give the cooling sys-
tenn, including the radiator, water
jackets, hose and pump, a thorough
cleaning.
1.-The best way to do this is to
drain the water out of the car, then
fill up the radiator with a weak So
luton of soda and water. Having
done this let the engine run for 10
minutes or so. Than drain off this
liquid and replace it with pure wa
ter. Again let the engine run for a
few minutes and again drain the
car. You will then be ready to fill
your radiator for regular use.
This is advantageous because il
cleans out the radiator, water jack
cts, hose and pump thoroughly,
freeing them from deposits. espe-
cially those left by anti-freezing
mixtures used during the winter
which, if allowed to remain in the
car, would probably rot the hose and
do other damage. Taking this sim
pie precaution not only extends the
life OF the car, but prevents future
trouble and increases efficiency"
