Never use water that has boiled
before or has been standing IN
the kettle to make tea. Draw
fresh cold water and let 1t boil
for the first time. Water that
has boiled before tastes nat, be-
cause the air has gone out OF It.
Always wash rice before COOK
ing. Put the rice in a strainer
and wash il in cold water, plac-
ing the strainer over a bowl OF
water. Change the water and re-
peat three times or until the
water is clear.
All canned goods should be ex-
posed to the air a short time be-
fore serving. and stirred, that
the food may be aerated. This
partially removes a certain nat

Setting a Permanent Wave.

A mistake that many girls and
women make after they have had
their hair permanently waved is to
neglect its care. AS result one often
sees fuzzy, dry shocks of hair that will
not lie in graceful waves
It is necessary to use some sort OF
hair oil or brilliantine on permanent
waves every day. The ends of hair
that have been waved before are
especially in need of such care to keep
them from becoming brittle and dull in
appearance.
The setting of the waves is a very
important part of its general care.
Different methods are used depending
on the type of wave one has. Some
waves may be shaped with the fingers,
others require combs and some may be
shaken or pushed into place by merely
running the fingers through. The
operator who gives the wave should
give full instructions on caring for the
hair after it is permanently waved.
