To give sweater coats a
new lease of life
Now that sweater coats are getting more expensive. it
is more than ever desirable that you wash yours with
LUX. 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.

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

have been misled into believing that the
inclusion of new blood in the Borden

When the Canadian Premier told the world that we were in this war to the
