WATER FOR RADIATOR.
It is wise to- make a practice of always filling the radiator with soft water whenever this can be obtained. Hard water contains a certain amount of mineral matter, which tends to collect upon the inside of the water jackets and pipes and renders the cooling system less effective. Occasionally it may happen that soft water cannot be obtained When it is necessary to fill up on the road. Hard water may be used on these occasions without hesitation, but soft water should be the rule. Radiator water has sometimes a rusty appearance, and when so it is just as well to run it out while hot before the sediment it contains has time to settle. Fill again with clean soft water. Little attentions of 'this kind do not take long, and in the end one’s trouble is amply repaid.
