DENIED BY RIO BRANCO
BRAZIL NOT ORDERING NUM-
TIONS OF WAR FOR JAPAN.

Reports were recently circulated, and
as promptly denied that Brazil had Or
dered a large number of WarshipS and i'm
mense quantities of munitions from Eng
land. with view TO turning the whole
consignment over when finished to Japan.
the inference being that they were for
use against the United States. inns
statement was denied in press reports
from Rio de JaneirO at the time, but an
official communication of the same tenor
has been received from the Brazilian am
bassador at his summer home in Hamil-
ton. Mass. He says:
II have received the following telegram
from Baron Do Rio Branco for pubnca-
ton. Kindly have it widely circulated, as
the newspapers are all discussing matter.
Telegram follows:
The news telegraphed by a South
American correspondent to New York,
and there made subject of articles by
New York newspapers, that Brazil is
building warships and buying armament
for Japan is an invention forged with the
ridiculous thought of involving Brazil
with the United States of America.
=: The old and cordial friendship be-
tween the two countries is known we'll
as the excellent relations existing between
their governments. The significant tele-
grams exchanged by Presidents Parma
and Roosevelt on the occasion of the visit
of the American fleet to Rio de Janeiro,
only six months ago, and the fact of the
government OF Washington having just
now ntrusted to Brazil the American in
terests in Venezuela, are proof enough of
our Friendship, even if our mutual rela-
tions We're not of such perfect and cordial
Intelligence. Every sensible person will
understand that an honest and respect
able government would not lend itself to
play the part attributed to Brazil by the
inventor OF the news.

Only in this way can the germs which

There is no better way Of doing this than
by plunging them into boiling water. All
instruments used by surgeons are
cleansed in this way. being put immedi-
ately into pans and kept at boiling tenn

course, and brstles could not stand such
heroic treatment. and for that reason
it is better to have a weak solution of
carbolic acid and put some of it into the
water.
Antiseptic gauze is another article that
particular women are using now. While
not precisely cheap. it cannot be called
expensive. and as face cloths it can be
used a couple of times before being
thrown away. Every physician now dep
recates strongly the use OF handkerchiefs
for bad head colds. and advocates thin

must he burned when soiled. In this way
any danger Of contagion to those in the
same household is avoided. In travelling
a few yards Of gauze may be carried and
wash cloths cut off as required. They
are thrown away after taking off the dirt
of one journey.

WAY PROFESSIONALS
LAUNDER CURTAINS
Net Hangings Are Placed in Bags or Pulled
Up and Down Through Water.

Methods of dyeing the threads used in
the manufacture of madras curtains are
being continually improved upon, so that
they have now reached such state of
perfection that these hangings may be
washed as safely as pocket handker-
chief. and by the same simple means.
Not long ago II was necessary to- use
either salt or vinegar to ''set the colors'
before laundering. but nowadays this is
entirely unnecessary.
An authority says curtains can be
washed at home quite as satisfactorily
for a few cents as though one paid 80
cents a pair for "ceaning' by profess
Sional
ACCORDING, to successful cleaner, this
process should be followed: Make suds

vat that has revolving arms something
like those found in washing machines.

safe to lay them in salt or vinegar. as
the color called for. but since as many
as four shades are often combined In one
curtain what would brighten one might
darken or dull another. so the greatest
care is taken in drying the yarns before
weaving.
The warp only in madras curtains Is OF
cotton; the pattern or design. no matter
whether just white. one color or va

This holds color better than cotton.
hence there is no reason for setting be-
fore washing curtains.
A line of madras curtains that Will not
fade is shown in some stores. They are
called the "Sundour," and come in va
riety of pretty designs and colorings. The
best part of 1t is that they are no more
expensive than the average madras cur
tains.

POWDER PADS ARE

Antisepticism is the slogan of all par

thing more than mere soap and water are
required for cleanliness. Immaculate

tic cleanliness means the destruction OF

Uses of Antiseptic Cotton.
Antiseptic cotton. besides being a toilet

in the home. Its absorbent qualities are
excellent for any kind of skin washing

An antiseptic wash is almost essential
for the mouth if the teeth are to be kept
