THE CARE OF
HAIR BRUSHES

is a matter Of wonder TO women
that they can't get a good brush.
I particularly a hair brush. It may
be that d good price is paid for
| the article and it possesses a beautiful
silver mounting. but the bristles come
out. and even If they stay IN they are
SO soft as to be absolutely useless.
The reasons of the frailties OF the
average brush on the market are curious
j and interesting. As a matter OF fact.
a good brush costs money nowadays.

eentiv told some interesting facts rela-
tive TO their quality. and manufacture.
How tc know a good brush Is. he ayers.
as difficult for the average customer as
TO tell of the habits and customs OF the
North Sea Islanders.
In selecting q brush, buy nothing but
the real Russian bristles or those COM
ing from the north of Germany, says
he, for the finest quality OF brfsties
come from the wild boar which is found
in these localities. Anyone who knows
anything about the trade is keenly
aware OF the rise in price. II has fn-
creased from 10 80 % per cent and the
reason for this Is that as the country
becomes more thielzly settled the boar Is
driven farther and farther away, and
dfSO - BtNiUS Itt4SFAt4 AS@AiAtc leu
THE bristIes of the domestic boar can
and are being used. but they lack the
quality and stiffness OF the wild variety.
In the latter case nature has provided
hard coating. One might well wonder
how these bristles are secured The
peasants pick them up strand. by strand
and store theIa away. Il Is an interest
ling custom IN Russia for the parents TO
keep the bristies doWry for their
eldest daughter upon her marriage
They gather them in small bundles and
tie them. To buy the prlsties costs
longer than one sees them in the
penny each. OF course. they are much
brushes.
French manufacturers use only the
finest bristles in their brushes, q fact
which some persons object TO. The best
brushes are made in England Amert-
cans have not yet begun TO eompete
with the English IN this indsutry.

and the county had never expressed
itself on the local option law, no one
could start a saloon here without
first obtaining petition signed by a
majority of the registered voters,
and each signature would have to be
attested by two witnesses. But
The county and precinct having
spoken in favor of the sale of liquor,
there would be no way of preventing
the opening of saloon in Crescent
City.
On the other hand, now that the
election has been called, if the coun-
ty should vote in favor of the sale of
liquor, and precinct No. | should
vote "dry," or AGAINST SUCH SALE,
the doors would be closed. No sa-
loon could be opened here, not even
by petition. For these reasons every
man in Precinct No. ought to vote
dry. For no white person wants a
saloon in Crescent City.

ness of these views. The best law
yers in the state have stated that the
