Of all things a sweater coat, which is seen so much, must be kept soft, fluffy, fleecy and "new" in appearance. You can keep yours that way and wash it again and again if you do this: Pour boiling water over LUX flakes—pure essence of soap—allowing 3 or 4 tablespoonf uls for everygnilon of water you use. Whip into a creamy lather Nfew seconds is d. Then put in the garment and stir it about. Let n it soak until cool enough for your hands to squeeze the water out of the coat—the dist just runs away. Rinse in two or three relays of tepid water. and hang to dry. Very simple. Anyone can do it—just a few minutes' work and you get a result that the most expert French cleaner might well envy. LUX wont shrink woollens. Won't hurt any fabric or color that pure water can safely touch.

The VIE SIGNAL _ SICK OF POLITICS WITH RItal10N. London Advertiser Writigg from .1,ondun, England, about Canadian soldiers overseas and their at- titude towards the coming election. F. A. McKenzie. a correspondent to a Conserv- ative paper, says : •The soldiers are sick of politics. The army has suffered too much from it. The average soldier. officer and private alike. would cut the whole ma- chinery of intrigue. wire -pulling and gerrymandering right out of public fife if he could." Here is the naked truth. The army has suffered too much under the Borden regime. Politics has decreed who should go overseas and who should have "cushy Ifobs" at home orin England. Politics has sent men to the trenches 1 with rifles that jammed when efficiency was most required. Politics has sent the Canadian soldier on lung marches and into muddy trenches with unreliable footwear. capable Politics has kept back many officers from taking their rightful place in n the war. and has. sometimes. placed lin responsible positioon who were unfit. Politics has issued the order to slow up on recruiting. Politics prevented Canada from using nationally -owned machine shops for pro- ducing sheUsat a time when shells were 1 the crying nee. Politics came in the way of dealing with ncreasing soldiers' pensions. causing the question to be laid aside until thhee had de- mands of profiteering is y been settled. Iable for Bourassa. Politics made it pass Lavergne and other Conservative•Nation- alists to preach sedition without restraint. 1 and stop French-Canadian enlistment. The soldiers are not only sick of politics; they are sick of the Government thrusthich w�u politics into everything. have been misled into believing that the inclusion of new blood in the Borden Government would work a miraculous change. but the majority know differently. The Government which has sickened the army with its politics its intrigue, its wire -pulling and gerrymandering is the same which has ordered that the soldiers vote shall be used where it will help to 1 the greatest extent in continuing these inwhomltthesnationted g -glories. fighting avmen the people at home less perception of its iniquities ? idectrtcity Kills Germs.

Unfit nt heard another conscriptionist in Canada so assert himself. When the Canadian Premier told the world that we were in this war to the limit of all our resources and we put four divisions in the field and were going to put five. it was absolutely essential that we should have done so. That. however. was before the entry of the United States, and theb believe that it can the be demonstrated how this has completely altered position Canada should take in the war from this time on. or at any rate in the 1 don't ask nor expect the United States to tight our battles. but meantime. naos vital ask t -- Canadians permit them to light their own.

As only so many soldiers can go across, what difference could it mak to the holding of the allied line whether Canadians or Americans are sent?
