An excellent way to clean hair
brush is said to be to take one-haIf
cup of flour and salt mix, and rub
through the bristles of the brush two
or three times. Shake this mixture
all out and the brush will be as clean
as when new This is better than
washing the brush, for it does not

Addison Spriggs, Ventilator
BY S. e. ki~~-

With a neartrelt sigh Addison
Spriggs put down his magazine. He
had just finished reading a famous
experts article on the deadly dangers
of improper and inadequate ventila-
ton. In the mind of Mr.. Spriggs there
was formed a splendid resolution.

Carefully adjusting his ear-muffs
and turning up the collar of his great
coat, Mr.. Addison Spriggs proceeded
toward the slums, keeping a sharp
lookout for unventilated houses and
ever and on turning his back to
the blast, so that his nose might not
be frozen. AT last he paused before a
rickety cottage. He noticed that the
door was closed as tightly as possible
There were no open windows, and
where pane had been broken out
the benighted occupants had endeav-
ored to deprive themselves of ventila-
ton by stuffing into the aperture a
ragged pillow. 1t was clearly a place

olson Spriggs were demanded

center table, one hour past supper

of his paper as Mrs. Jinx, with eyes
sparkling and cheeks rosy from her
brisk walk entered the room.

from their resting place and seating
herself there in their stead, have you

stride, then paused with his nose with

She thought me a harmless person.

That was the difference between us.
1t was perfectly easy for me to
know that she was dangerous. All
pretty girls are dangerous. She was
simply more dangerous than most
pretty girls because she was prettier.
Now l had scheme to make her
fall in love with me. 1t was simple in
operation. and l hoped that it would
be deadly in its effect.
The idea was this: To keep her
mind off from love long enough to
have her get thoroughly well acquaint-
ed with me, when, 10, prestol she

had succeeded in pushing Mr.. Spriggs

The German crown prince has de-

States this year. Probably no one re-
grets this more than the crown prince
himself. There is not the slightest
doubt that he would have had a royal

relative, Prince Henry of Prussia,
whose trip through the country is still
remembered wildly by all who par
ticipated in the proceedings.
