HONEY PROVES TO BE
ANTI-FREEZE SOLUTION

What could be more appropriate
than to put honey in a honeycomb
radiator?
Motorists, attention! Bee, howdy!
The frozen radiator problem has
been solved by the little bee that is SO
Justly famous for improving each
shining hour.
E. r. Root, editor of a bee maya
zine, attending the convention of the
Wisconsin Beekeeper's association at
Milwaukee, told how beekeepers ex-
perimented with honey as an anti
freeze solution and found it was effec-
tive.
Honey will turn to sugar but not
freeze in cold weather. It was found
also to be economical, for one filing
will last the whole winter. Alcohol
evaporates and must be replenished,
but honey will not evaporate.
The correct proportion is two-thirds
honey and one-third water. When so.
filled, your radiator is safe in zero
weather The cheap dark, heavy
grade of extracted honey works as
well as the expensive white honey.
The honey and water must be thor
oughly mixed.-Journal
