Hard and Soft Water.

All housewives may not know ho W

they will boil tender, and lose a cer-
tam raw, rank taste which they re-
tain in hard water. Many vegeta-
bles as onions boil nearly taareless
in soft water, because all the flavor
Is dissolved out. The addition of
salt often checks this, az in the case
of onions, causing the vegetables to
retain their peculiar flvoring primer.
