 cleaned, when soiled, by rubbing on the following solution: Mix together
 quart of boiling water. tablespoons of boiled Hnseed oil and 1 tablespoon of turpentine. (This cleaning fluid is also excellent to clean any kind of a hardwood floor, whether oiled, waxed or vanished.

Rinse at once in fresh. l cool water not containing ammonia 1 and after shaking well stand the 1 brush in the air to dry, with the bris- | ties down eff you stood it with the | bristles up the water would run into l the back of the brush. Very soft 1 brtstIed brushes should be suspended ! from something with string, so that they hang bristles-down; for, if they are stood on their soft bristles, the bristles spread. i
 Combs are cleaned by being soaked . In cool water to which a few drops ot | ammonia have been added. This will | loosen the dirt and yet will not dis color the comb (unless 1t is a pure ivory. After soaking one-half hour take a small brush E(such as g. nail | orush) and clean it by brushing be- tween the teeth. Rinse in fresh water 1 and wipe dry.
