YOUR TOOTHBRUSH.
The Brush Should Be Thoroughly
Rinsed After Using.

Do you know that comparatively few
brushes7 In fact, most of them are
positively unhygienic.

out rinsing, and, as for ever giving 1t
a sanitary bath, she has never heard
Of such a thing.
Every toothbrush should be thor
oughly rinsed after each time of using
with fresh clear water and at least
once or twice a week dipped in a weak
solution of carbolic acid and water.
1t should always be hung, never
thrown down carelessly on the top of a
mug in too friendly proximity to those
of the rest of the family.
One very dainty young woman has a
number of small bags made of thin silk
which she slips over her toothbrush
when not In use to keep 1t OUT of the
dust. Each bag has a narrow elastic
at the top, so the necessity of tying it
each time Is removed.
Never use a toothbrush in its old age.
Far better Is 1t to buy cheap me and
throw them away when they begin to
shed bristle5. After all, this bristle
shedding Is a matter of luck, for many
of the most expensive brushes YEA no
better than q fifteen cent one.
On the other hand, do not economic
and go on using a brush when 1t is
shedding.
In selecting q toothbrush those that
curve slightly are more effective than
the straight, fat surface. If the gums
are at all sensitive. choose one of me-
dunn stiffness in preference to a hard
one.
Always soak it in cold water over
night before using the first time. This
will remove whatever bristles are loose
and swell the others so that they con-
sent to hang OIL longer than most Of
their kind.

POLICE ASK FUNDS
FOR FLEETS VISIT
WANT TO PUT ON FULL FORCE

Appropriation Has Already Been Ex-

Councils Finance COM
mittee

The police board decided yesterday
to ask the finance committee of the
city council to set aside $4,000 out of
the reserve fund to take care of the
department maintenance till July.
There is an overdraft because of the
extra expenses entailed recently. With
the coming of the fleet extraordinary
efforts must be made to protect the
citizens from the lawless element
which will flock here.
Chief Edward Kern told the board
yesterday that to keep within his ap-
preparation it would be necessary to
lay off eighty men each month for four
months for two weeks without pay.
This would seriously cripple the de-
partment. His force now has eighteen
men under the number allowed by ordi-
nance.

just voted 900 extra for the police

The Security Savings bank late yes

thus taking the present series off the
market.
The Security people took a block of
$160,O00 of the bonds and when the to-
tails were figured up last night 1t was
found that the issue had been over
subscribed $4,000.
Only recently New York failed to
sell a $1,000, 900 issue locally at per
cent, Cancelled them and put the in
terest rate at 1-2 per cent. Then they
found takers.
Yet Los Angeles was able to sell a
per cent issue of bonds at q time
when financial paper was hard to dis
pose of, AMI mostly to local people, too.
The principal subscribers are:

The aqueduct board will on April 1
advertise for bonds for constructing
one section of the Jawbone canyon
work. This will be a section about sew
en- miles long and its cost is esti-
mated in the neighborhood of $500,000
The section embraces $1,000 feet. The
entire Jawbone contracts will cost
about $2,000000.
The engineers department has sub
mitted it's plans and specifications
complete. so that work can go ahead
at once.
Aqueduct officials were greatly
pleased yesterday at the action OF the
Los Angeles banks, trust and title
companies in responding so literally
to subscriptions at a time when there
was a great call for funds at higher
rates of interest and especially so at
the big block taken by the Security
directorate. That good times were
coming once more were splendidly re-
fected in this action, the officials
thought.
Bankers and brokers say the Owens
bonds have proved the most popular
of any ever issued by Los Angeles, but
all other water bonls bore a lesser in
terest rate. /.
