HONEY ANTI.FREEZE SOLUTION

Honey and water in about equal
parts by volume, makes the best and
safest anti-freeze mixture for auto
radiators, says Miss Matilda Fischer,
secretary of the Wisconsin State Bee
keepers association. A $3.50 solution
is all right when the temperature does
not go below zero. When it goes be-
low zero, more honey should be added.
This mixture does not evaporate like
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1924-12-10

alcohol and water, does not corrode
like salt solution, never freezes
hard and therefore does not break or
crack cylinders or radiators. Do not
use any honey dew or unripe honey.
Honey and water should be thorough
ly mixed by boiling. Do not use any
honey mixture unless all gaskets are
perfectly tight, and it is also impor-
tant that hose between radiator and
the engine be tight.

treat" said Daddy, land | am going
to tell you just what they saw. They
were taken to the city shops.
'Of course they saw any number of
dolls and trains and toys and books
and they went into all the big shops
and also looked in all the windows.
"In one store there was a great big
m~ake-believe lion and by him was an
enormous m%ake-believe lioness and
they had long names and heads that
moved up and down and from side to
side.
'"The children put their hands in the
lions mouth and in the mouth of the
l~ioness, and of course nothing hap
pened because the lion and lioness
were not real though they looked so
life-like.
"In one window there was a great
scene. There were double tracks and
along one went a local train and along
the other an express train.
There were tunnels and bridges
and most gorgeous signals which
lighted up. And there were houses
and garages standing about and trees
and poles with make-believe telegraph
wires. And there was a junction where
the train stopped.

Every one crowded around this
window, men and women, boys and
girls.
"Then the children saw toy ponds
in which were goldfish, and even in a
little pond of water which had been
put in the toy village to look like a
lake were goldfish swimming about.
"They went to look at themselves
in a mirror where as they looked one
way it appeared as though they were
short and fat and when they looked
another gay it made them appear to
have great enormously long faces and
little bodies.

these mirrors!

"And what fun it was, as you can
imagine, to have such a treat as this.
'They saw toy villages where there
were little street lights and houses
with most superior hedges and gar

could be seen and the stairways.
"Then they took a ride with Santa
Claus in a beautiful kind of merry-go-
round which he had.

were made to look like different kinds
of animals, and in the center was a
great pole which looked as though ii
were covered with ice and snow and
which was supposed to be the North

ride n the other children who
waited in line for the next ride when
