The best cleaualng preparation ror brushes Is a solution made by dissolv ing one pound of washing soda lu a quart of water. This should be stirred over the tire uutll dissolved and used In the proportlou of oue tablespoonful to a quart of water. A little soap ahould be used for the soft hair bruah es and cold water used for rinsing Dry in the open air. IkinfM ror the Ratr.
