whose tender delicate leaves we're like

a leaf, it recoiled and drew the insect

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
By FRANCES MARSHALL
Best for Your Brush.

There are some OF US who buy cheap
and often. There are some of US who
buy expensive and seldom. And all of
US are justified in our method of econo-
my.
In brushes, however, 1t is economy to
pay for good quality. An expensive brush
well cared for. will outwear many cheap
ones. And more than paying for itself,
1t will give much greater satisfacti
than the many cheap ones would have
given. So buy good brushes. for hands,
face. hair and clothes, and then take
care OF them.
The best way to wash a brush is to
dip 1t into solution of a tablespoonful
of ammonia (the household sort) and
three quarts of water. When the brush
Is clean, rinse It thoroughly In several
warm water. and then dip II into cold
water. Dry by hanging 1t up by the
handle
The cold water hardens the bristles and
hanging 1t up by the handle keeps them
straight. If It Is a clothes brush, with
out long handle. stand the brush on the
bristles, go the water will not run to
the roots of the bristles, there to rot
them. II it is a velvet brush, omit the
rinsing in cold water, for a velvet brush
should be soft.
II you wish to have the brIstIes un-
usually hard, dissolve q teaspoonful of
salt in quart of water for the rinsing
water
1t hurts a brush to wash It too often;
washing softens the bristles and wears
the brush out. So try to keep the brush
as clean as possible. Always shake II
out, IL 1t is a hair brush; pat 1t briskly
against towel to remove dust. Rub the
bristles with the towel or with some
other clean cloth, to remove oil and keep
the brush in a case or a drawer when
it Is not in use to protect 1t from the
dust in the air.
There are some bristle brushes which
cannot be washed. Follow the directions
that come with these brushes, for wash
ing destroys them. 1t is a very good
plan to air any brush in the sunshine oc-
casionally.

No, we do everything to invite pre-

Therefore, an acid stomach is really
a dangerous condition and should be
treated seriously The excess acid or
