can boost the cost of heating as
much as twenty-five percent.
Along with that it reduces water
pressure and sooner or later you
are forced to call plumber to re-
move the scale" or to fenlace
pipes.
If the water you are now using
has more than three grains of dis
solved minerals per gallon it re-
quires some sort of softening.
There is a soft water service in
your community and if you decide
to use it the company will install
a softener in your home. On a
specified date service men will re-
place the old tank with a freshly
regenerated one. This procedure
requires only few minutes. The
used one is then taken back to the
plant to be sterilized and regener-
ated. This service is yours for
only $3.50 month plus a So in
stallation charge for the first unit.
Softer water is not luxury. An
installed softener pays its way
while making life easier for you.

Soft Water
by S. Allan Momtt

Have you ever added up what
hard water is costing you? If
not, here are some of the ways
that a water softener will save you
money. Without soft water, the
average family will use sixty-sev, n
cents worth of soap and package
softener for each weeks wash, in
cluding dishwashing, cleaning,
bathing, etc. With a water soft
ener the cost will be approximate
ly seventeen cents-a saving OF
fifty cents week. Not only does
it save you $26. year, but it also
gives you winter clothes. Linents
washed with soft water will last at
least 25 per cent longer.
Clothes can be kept presentable
for longer period by washing
them in soft water. There are u.s.
