Some Special Desserts
by Mrs. Richard C. Spence
This time of year often calls for some extra entertain
ing—bridal showers, graduation parties and lots and lots
of outdoor get-togethers. If you are looking for some extra
special desserts, you might like to try some of the follow
ing recipes we have today
If pie is your favorite, try
this bright newcomer, Cher
ry Apricot Pie. Perfectly
matched, the fruits combine
in a brilliant red-orange pie
filling that’t marvelously re
freshing Honey, brown sug
ar and allspice are the pie’s
“sugar ’n spice.”
Cherry Apricot Pie
2 cups sifted enriched
flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
3 to 5 tablespoons cold
water
Sift together flour and salt.
Cut or rub in shortening un
til mixture is crumbly
Sprinkle with water, mixing
lightly until dough begins to
stick together.

Soft Water Saves Money
In Plumbing and Heating!
Wherever water flows in your
home, you need soft water protec
tion When hard water is heated,
the calcium and magnesium miner
als (usually bicarbonates) in the
water are converted to another less
soluble form. These less soluble
salts come out of solution as solids
and gradually build up a layer of
hard, scaly material on the inside
of pipes and other equipment •
through which the water passes.
As little as (s inch of scale in
water-heater coils can boost heat
ing bills as much as 16 cents out of
each dollar, and reduce efficiency
by more than 20 per cent. This scale also acts as an insul
ator which, rather than passing the heat along to the water,
develops hot spots which eventually weaken and burn
through pipe walls. When this scale collects in the pipe,
the boilers, the radiators, showerheads and other fittings,
the flow of water is seriously reduced. Often the piping
becomes completely clogged and must be replaced. Unfor
tunately, such repairs to heating and plumbing systems of
ten mean tearing out walls and pulling up floors —a messy,
expensive job.
The radiator of your car may last twice as long in areas
having water hardness of 5 grains * than it will in areas
of 17 or 18 gram hardness, because there is no hard water
deposit to clog the circulating system and cause overheat
ing of the engine.
When you wash your car, soft water readily lifts away
dirt and road grime. Because gritty particles and .hard
rubbing are eliminated, little scratches which destroy the
finish of your car are eliminated, too. There are no streaks
or curdy soap deposits, either. There will be a gleam in
your eye when you see what a gleam soft water puts on
vour car
1 grain equals approximately 17 parts of hardness min
erals per 1,000,000 parts of water.
I will be glad to stop at your house and discuss your wa
ter problems with you. We have solved many of your
neighbors problems with inexpensive water treatment
