A Safe Way to Clean Hair Brushes

To clean hair brushes without injury,
have ready two basins, one three-fourths
full of boiling water and the other with
the same amount of cold water In the
boiling water, dissolve a teaspoonful of
Gold Dust washing powder and shake
the br!stless up and down in the solu-
tion until they are thoroughly clean,
then at once rinse we'll in cold water
and stand the brush to dry in the air or
in a warm place, but not too near the
fire. OF course the back of the brush
must not be wet.
Good hair brushes are costly, but II
properly cared for they will last for
years.

Massachusetts Situation.
New Hampshire's primary tomorrow
has lost primacy In interest because Of
the overshadowing significance that is
attached to the Massachusetts results a
week later. President Taft is quoted as
having admitted, within the last two
days, that II he loses Massa chusetts he
Is beaten. His opponents declare that
he Is beaten. whether or not he gets
Massa chusetts.
Before Massachusetts gives its verdict
the Roosevelt lead will be considerably
strengthened by the holding of the State
conventions In Missouri and Iowa. II Is
now confidently claimed that Taft has
lost control of the Iowa convention, and
that its delegates will be instructed, by
a close vote, for Senator Cummins
The Taft people have until the last few
days counted confidently on this
strength.
Missouris state convention will be
held on Friday of thi y week. Iowa on
Wednesday. The Missouri convention is
for Roosevelt by little over 100 ma
jority.
Claims rega riding New Hampshire are
as conflicting as they were before the
Pennsylvania primary. The Taft man
ager declares that he will have 500 dele
gates, or a majority Of 200. The Roose-
welt people in the State on the basis Of
careful canvasses, say they will have
about so to Taft's 26O delegates in the
State convention. and an easy majority
in both the two Congressional districts.
