Keep Your Brushes Stiff.

II Is impossible to overestimate the
danger to the hair OF unclean combs and
brushes. Such toilet instruments should
be carefully cleansed and disinfected
once a week, and there Is a way to do
II so as not to injure them. The brush
and comb must first be quickly washed,
then dipped in a water with boric acid
and then summed and aired. An expen-
sively backed brush may be cleansed by
dipping the bristles alone in strong So
luton of ammonia and water. After
this run hot and cold water alternately
over this part of the brush, shake 1t Wig
orously and put II, bristles down. over
a rest OF some sort to dry In the open
air.
II the bristles OF a brush have lost
their stiffness or elasticity, treat them
to an ammonia and salt bath. First
wash the bristles IN hot water to which
ammonia has been added and then dip
directly into water to which salt has
been added. Dry the brush, with bristles
Borax also cleans a brush we'll. Dis

the bristles. Rinse thoroughly. when

Another admirable method for clean
