WATER PROBLEM
IN THE LAUNDRY
AlrDcys Contains More or
Less Foreign Material.

Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
If every home could have an abund-
ance of perfectly pure water the home
laundry problem would be greatly SIM
plitied, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. However,
as found in Its natural state water al
ways contains more or less dissolved
and suspended material. This may
consist of harmless gases, and dirt
that the rain has carried down In its
passage through the air, or mineral
compounds of various kinds which the
water has acquired as it passed through
the soil or over its surface. The lat
ter include large number of sub
stances, among the most important be-
ing compounds of sodium, calcium,
magnesium, and iron.
Common salt Is the most widely dis
.ributed of the sodium compounds, and
though ordinary soap will not lather
in very salty water, such a condition
would be exceptional In most COM
munities Salt water Is not termed
hard"
Compounds of calcium, magnesium,
and iron react with soap, forming new
material which dc not dissolve In wa
ter and appear as sticky, unpleasant
scum. Thus not only Is the soap de-
stroyed and rendered no longer avail
able for making suds, but the scum
settles on the clothes in specks or
gives them gray tinge. Such water
is spoken Of as hard" In the case
Of iron compounds often brown stains
also are left.
Distillatien Is the best method Of
rendering water that Is excessively
alkaline, acid, or salty fit for use, but
it is impractical in the home. Filtra-
ton and softening by means Of boiling
or by the addition Of chemicals are
the usual methods used in the house
hold. The use Of washing soda Is an
inexpensive method Of treating hard
water. One pound of soda Is dissolved
in one quart of water, and two table
spoonfuls Of this solution used for
each gallon of water. Other chemicals
may also be used. The greatest diff
Guilty in using them is determining
quantity required by the degree Of
hardness OF the water. This informa-
ton can usually be obtained from the
nearest water laboratory and if the
trouble experienced is a permanent
condition, it will be worth while to
have a sample analysed. Detailed in
formation about treating hard and
other waters to make them satisfac-
tory for laundry purposes are given in
a new bulletin on home laundering re-

partment of Agriculture.

have been up for a comparatively
short time. In a sun room curtain
materials are put to particularly
hard test.
The sun room In the picture, which
was taken by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, has awning
cloth shades. The background of the
cloth Is natural linen color, and the
stripes are blue, green, orange and
reddish violet These colors blend
with the rug In two shades OF blue
and orange. The cushions on the
wicker chairs and the porch swing
repeat these same colors In various
combinations. An attractive addition
over each shade would be a scalloped-
fitted valance Of the same material
deep enough to cover the roller. The
valance should be made on buckram
or beaver board and nailed to board
four inches wide resting on top Of the
window frame.

you've found that out. Wait for me

minutes"
Paradoe, picking up his gun in his
left hand and resting his right hand
on the haft Of huge bowie knife,
fashioned from blacksmith's file and
slung at his hip, wandered on his
way. Selwood directed his steps to-
ward Tracy's tent.
To this tent quarter had also come
Christie Fyler and her father for
temporary lodgings. Selwood paid
little attention to the fiotsam of the
tent colony. He had only been careful
to pitch and equip a tent for his
friend, a hundred yards from any
other tent. But Dave had fingered
refusing TO die and not quite equal
to getting well; in consequence, the
newcomers encroached on his privacy
until the Fyler tent was pitched al
most back to back with his own; and
all that Christie had ever heard of
her neighbours tent-a larger and bet
ter tent than the others-was that It
sheltered a sick gambler. Christie saw
at times an Indian-looking man COM
ing and going from the gamblers tent,
and at times a woman-who came
daily from somewhere to bring
broth and to tidy up the quarters of
the wounded man.
Once Christie, at her own work.
had caught glimpse of this woman's
face. She was not old in years, but
her complexion, ruined by the sun
and the winds Of the mountains, made
her look old. Her features showed
traces of an earlier beauty, and her
elastic step proved her health and
strength; 1t was care and unhappi-
ness that aged her expression. Her
eyes fixed themselves in Christie's
memory; they were dark, rather deep
eyes, with a hard look, as If Of hope,
like her youth, faded Meeting her
again in the street, as the two passed
on their ways. Christie had paused
to ask a question. The response had
been cold-not calculated to invite
acquaintance.
Margaret Hyde, indeed, courted no
acquaintance. Many women passed
through Sleepy Cat. but among the
few that called Sleepy Cat their abfd-
ing place she walked alone She was
housekeeper at Doctor Carpy's hotel;
a Woodworking housekeeper under the
hardest possible conditions; but she
stuck TO her job and walked her way
alone. And cold and hard though
she was, she was never too tired to
bring deIicacies TO the aiIing or to
sit up at night TO care for a sick
teamster.

Reason for Malnufrifion
Among American Children

The outstanding reason for malnu-
triton among American children is
bad food habits. In no other country
is the child allowed to decide for him
self what he will or will not eat as he
does here. Of course, there are some
parents who do not provide the right
food for their children because of lack
Of knowledge Of food values or fail
ure to understand the Importance of
the information at hand. In any case
bad food habits, whether based on the
child's choosiness or the parents lack
Of information, can be corrected only
through education Of the parents. And
this means education in the right d.
rectton-in what are the proper foods
for children and how can they be
trained to eat wholesome foods.
