Water Softening
Compounds and
Their Use

u part toAuetOh Ava N"S
- difficulties resulting from
the use OF hard water in
laundry work, we advise the use
OF water softening compounds.
These compounds will partly
soften hard water and to that ex-
tent retard the formation Of
curds.
The softener should, of course,
be dissolved before clothes come
in contact with il. To ascertain
the correct amount, enough soft
ener has been added when you
are able to obtain q good suds by
the use of the usual amount Of
soap. With the soft water used
mt the Institute, we use from one
10 three cupfuls of soap. depend
ing upon the form Of the soap
and the soil Of the clothes. IL
much more soap than this is
needed to produce a suds, il is
an indication that more softener
is needed.
Borax may also be used to
soften water and, as it is not a
strong alkali, il can be used az
q water softener when washing
wooIens or delicate fabrics. The
borax should be dissolved directly
In the wash water before adding
the soap or clothes.
The amount OF borag required
will depend upon the hardness Of
the water but as q general guide
we would say from one-half TO
one cupful probably would be
sufficient for the ten or twelve
gallons Of water in the washing
machine. By experimenting with
the water, you can ascertain
which Of these alkalis is best
suited to the water you use and
the correct amount 20 add.
Treatment Of the water In the
washing machine offers only part
relief as the hard water Is used
for all other purposes in the
home. There are, however, do
nestle water softeners which
completely soften al the water
without the need for experiment.
ing on the part of the user. They
will satisfactorily soften even
very hard waters.
These softeners consist Of n
closed steel tank in which is
placed a mineral known as zeo-
lite. The hard water flows
through the zeolite and while do
ing 50 its hardness is removed.
The lime and magnesium salts
which make the water hard are
converted into sodium salts that
have no hardness, and therefore,
do not form soap curds. This
type Of softener requires no skill
or training to operate and is,
therefore. easily taken care of in
the home. Hard water after be-
ing softened In this way contains
nothing injurious to the health
and its palatability Is not inn
paired.

important that the knife be given

Nothing will ruin tempers and
turkeys more surely than d dull

1t is the wife's duty to make
sure that the platter upon which
the bird is to rest Ii sufficiently

If il has to be bought especially

that restraint is used in garnish-
ing the bird. A limited amount
Of parsley and cress, and a few
radish roses or celery curls can
be set aside by the carver with
out difficulty. Anything more
than this will prove a nuisance
and q hindrance.

the proper placing Of the turkey
on the platter. In this matter

How the Fruits Are Graded

- AT more fruitsl Not long
ago we undervalued them
we thought they contained
little but water. But that day
has passed. When we discovered
how generously nature had sup.
piled these fruits with mineral
salts and vitamins, we began TO
eat more fruits. WE should eat
them frequently, for as protec-
tive foods they assume an impor-
tant place on our meals every
day.
Summer supplies an abundance
Of fresh fruits. But as the Win
ter months advance, these fresh
fruits wane. and we gladly turn
to the canned and dried va
rieties which not only ably sup
plement the Winter standbys, but
are available all the year round.
Canned fruits as fine-flavored
and luscious as the best, plucked
fresh In the orchard, can be had
at reasonable cost-thcy are pre-
pared for immediate use BY the
most modern scientific methods
in sanitary canneries. These
canned fruits are available in
abundant varieties and grades.
In price they compare favorably
with fresh fruit. for in the prep
aration for canning, all waste
is removed. and they are ready
to serve.
The growing of fruit for IAN
ming Il a business in itself. as
only the varieties that have the
proper size, texture, and flavor
are desirable. Some Gamers
grow the fruit themselves, while
others purchase it direct from
the grower on contract at the be-
ginning Of the season. And
since II is SO important to can
the fruit ut Just the proper stage
or maturity, and in the freshest
condition possible, canning plants
are operated close to the source
of supply.
Fruit is delivered at the can
merry in crates or boxes, which are
SO constructed that the fruit Is
not bruised, crushed, or heated.

ton, particularly in the interior,
Instead Of retarding developments.
This is because money which
has recently been poured into the
stock market for purely Specula-
tive purposes will now be turned
into the bond and mortgage
market, it was said.
Great industries, the railroads
and others, which have contem-
plated bond issues for improve
Inents, have not put their bonds
On the market because OF the
high interest rates and the COM
parative unattractiveness Of such
securities t. the public. Now the
bonds will be floated and great
enterprises will get under way, 1t
was stated.
Causes for the recent break In
The market were explained by the
fact that there was an over-cap1-
talization or centralization Of
money in New York. When the
downward trend, started, banks
from the interior of the Unite -.
states and foreign banks recalled
their money from New York.
Market Isolated
The situation was contrasted
with that in 1907-0s. The. col
lapse of the stock market then
affected every business in the
United States and interest rates

Completely isolated from the bust

Former Policeman Orville
Staples, one-time center of many
controversies in the police de-
partment, plans to file charges
against Sergt. H. T. Miskell, Of
the Park Police, alleging that
Miskell arrested him illegally.
Staples spent more than four
hours yesterday afternoon In

It was said that Sergeant
MiSkell halted him at Twenty

he was wanted for the Virginia
authorities. Later Misken was
said to have explained that he
read in the newspapers that
Staples was wanted in Virginia.
Subsequently investigation de-
veloped that Staples was not
wanted and he was released. He
left the station, vowing venge-
ance, and said he would file .
complaint with Miskel1's superior
