The Distinguished Authority
HAT hare brushes to do
with cleaning:, many -women
mar ask? For some house
keepers depend only on some kind
of cloth or rag -with which to re
move dirt or grease. Bat the use
of a rag or cloth for cleaning has
many disadrantages. In the first
place, when a rag as a 'dust cloth Is
used In the baud direct It.requires
the purchase ef the hand and the
fingers to giro the force irhtch
cleans and rubs. , 1. : '
If -we mount that cloth on a han
dle, -we at once put Jhe purchase
into the stick and save the human
hand from strain and effort. That
Is why a dish mop of string on a
short handle is more efficient than
the same, string or cloth held : In
the fingers. I should say that' any
tool is twenty per cent more effi
cient when It's mounted on a stick
or' handle. , .
i All brushes come In the class of
handled tools. A brush is ; only a
. way of mounting either a rag or
bristles which take the place of a
rag. And Just because there is a
eolid back or handle, there is more
strength and power to the rub
which a brush gives.
A number of years ago, a friend
of mine told me she washed dishe
with a stiff paint brush. She ex
plained how the stiff bristles cut
the dirt and grease better than a
oft rag. The short handle also
gave purchase. And many a time,
I have watched her quickly get
through a pile of greasy plates by
brushing them clean. Then I found
out myself, that nothing was better
to take the dust down the stairs
'than a rood paint 'brush. It re
moves the dust from . th corner
' niche of each Step, brushe between
the stair railings 01- moldings in tt
way no cloth can possibly do. In-'
deed a medium tflz paintbrush, of
about four in ones width has many j
uses in the home. - ' I
Brushes find a wide variety of
inses in the kitchen. Here we need
a. brush to i emote toil from the
x vegetables. For this purpose an!
' ova V shaped brush mounted on a
hanflle about ' four Inches long Is i
(best. The oval shape permits It to
fit the curved shape of the carrot,!
beet or other vegetable from which
the dirt is being removed, . I
Another good brush which should j
always be near the sink, is what
I call a bottle brush. This is A
thick; tufted brush mounted on an
eight-inch handle, Just right for
cleaning quart jars, milk bottles, '
pitchers, etc. It is Invaluable at
canning time, when the housewife
has dozens of bottles or jars to'

S there anything that will re- j
move the odor from the breath
i after eating raw onions? A. B.
No one is really fit for civilized
society for twenty-four hours after
eating raw onions, but if you feel
you must inflict your presence on
other people before the expiration
of that period, try chewing a leaf
of parsley or drinking a glass of
milk. Either of these simple cor
rectives will (go far to neutralize
that unpleasant odor. !
I'D like a remedy .for freckles!
and large pores In the skin. !
B. e. ; : - I
A very simple,., way to remove
freckles is to use every day a com
bination of milk and Salt in the
proportion of one tablespoonful of
salt to one glass of milk. Allow
the liquid to dry on, and afterward
forush joff the salt crystals that ad
here to the skin. Plain camphor

tringent qualities will : soon de

WILL you kindly tell me what
. to do for a red nose?
1 C. . j -
The following formula; is said to
be remarkably efficacious in over
coming this unsightly blemish :
floiewater .......... .3 ounces
Glycerine .......2 ounces
: (Muriate of ammonia.. 1; dram
Tannic acid Yz dram I
Saturate a piece of absorbent cot
ton with a litUe of this lotion and
bind on the nose every night until
that excessive redness Is relieved.
Save Your' Ofiiiige Peels
DON'f throw away the peels of
oranges, urges a writer in Amer- ,
lean Cookery; there are many good
ixses to which they can be put with,
very little trouble. " 1 j . '
They can be used for marmalade.'
by shredding into very fine strips,
and following the recipe for any
orange marmalade, substituting
one apple for the pulp of each
orange caHed for in the recipe.
Care should be taken to' remove
every particle of the thin mem
brane, which holds the sections of
orange together and the pulp to the
skin, for this gives a disagreeable
flavor to the (marmalade, v ,
Another way to use the peelings
,1b to put them through the food
on Household Efficiency.
r , Another type of bottle brush li
smaller and thinner and made to
go into the -spouts of coffee pots,
baby, bottles and such narrow open
ings. - Another kind of utility brush
is made to clean any sort of drain
such as the openings at the spigot
of a washing machine, an Ice chest,
or other place where slime br waste
Is likely te accumulate. -
Keeping aft up-to-date bathroom
In shipshape Is hard work, but the
use of brushes will mike the tasl.
easier,' , Fof Instance there is a
round bowl brush of stiff black
bristles mounted on a handle which
fits the curve of the Washbowl and
cleans the dirt better than any rag.
An even longer brush fits the toilet
bowl and is also excellent for wash- .
lng out i the portable " Slop basin,
chamber, etc. The same brush is
fine for cleaning a garbage can, or
any other ! large deep utensil.
Although scrubbing is such' a
large part of the almost daily work,
Surprisingly few women tise a brush
mounted on a handle. Why should
any woman get down flat on the
floor amid a swirl of suds when she
can scrub so much better if the
brush be "mounted on a handle?
Any scrub brush can be fastened
to a handle like a kitchen broom
and used standing upright. There
Is an: excellent, scrubber of coarse
bristles mounted ott a long handle ,
which is tery good fcd clean off a
back porch, cellar floor, shed,, etc.
Every woman would do well to
vse both of these to make her work
easy and none in shorter time.
Now Just 4 word aboat the bris
tles front which the brushes are '
made; . Most of the good bristles
come from China, Japan br Russia,
tn the eld-fashioned manufacture rf
brushes the bristles were glued into
a wooden back. The disadvantage
of this Was that the bristles tended
to comb out when put. Into , water.
To-day there Is a better way. of
making .brush which IS to twist
the bristle into a wire without the
use ef Wood at all. . In this way the
entire brush can ba put into boiling
water ' and the bristles can never
fcome out. This type of brush is
familiar to the housewife , in what
she-calls a 'lamp brush but: all
kinds of brushes of every shape are
now being made After this .idea. .
The chief advantage is that such
brushes can be Scalded; and that 'ho
matter what -dirty work they have
done they car easily be made sweet 1
and clean; , : - i
Th cost 61 a brush wfiich will '
help to lessen housekeeping labor :
should ; be regarded In j the same j
light as that of any other kind of i
tool. I Even if a good brush to wash '
milk bottles costs about CO cents, '
AM quite plump and well
' formed except for my throat
and; chest, which are painfully
thin. Please give m a good
cream to fill out these parts.

The deep breathing person may be

August days are the time, too", to

in American Cookery, the proper
heat for various kinds of food Is
as follows:
- Bread, 350 to 400 degrees Fahren

to 450 degrees; cookies, 400 to 425
degrees; angel cake, 300 to 350 de
