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 oro tablespoonfuls -for every gallon of water you use. Whip into a creamy lather—a few seconds is needed. Then put in the garment and stir it about. Let it soak until cool enough for your hands to squeeze the water out of the coat—the dirt 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 roost expert French cleaner might well envy. LUX won't shrink woollens. Won't hurt any fabric or color that pure water can safely touch.

'Insist on SCOTT'S. Scott& Bowne, Toronto, Dat (6918' "Bear Ye One Another's Burdens" 'Tis an old saying—sometimes a hard one -but worthy of all. acceptation, Take a present-day illustration. British Columbia—out there under the setting sun—is helping to beam Ontario's burdens. She has sent to the-front—that shell -torn front in France—a larger proportion of her manhood than ham r he e,o_,. it comes to pass that we in Ontario are being asked to help in bearing British Columbia's burdens b, »(wiping its -' ' : 'ers' families. It's a fair, a just, request. We all are in the same boat. We must bear one another's • be vdenn. en ' ee Province, not rich in money, makes heavy calls on. the Patriotic Fund, the richer Provinces must hel net. tl .. - r neighbor. Under a plan of each Province caring only for its own, the Province sending no men wor , ^ .oney. It would neither Fight nor Pay. r'nta will need ee d about six million dollars in 1917 for the faiziilies of its own soldiers. The Canadian Patriotic io Fund is asking for that sum as a minimum below which the richest Province in the Dominion will not. go. But, as a matter of fact, the Fund hopes Ontario will do still better—will bear another's burdens by helping out gallazst»British Columbia. How stands the Western Province? It will require, in 1917; two million dollars for the families of its goys at the front. That is one-third of Ontario's requirements. But Ontario has probably inure than seven times the population. British Columbia asks no favors. With only about 350,000 people—not rich in this world's but rich in pluck and good red blood—it is undertaking' to raise One Million Dollars for the Canadian Patriotic Fund! That equals $2.86 per head. Ontario, if it raise six million; will be giving about $2.38 per head. But the Western Province will still be short One Million Dollars. Where is this sum to come frown? Eastern Canada. And Ontario, if it wishes to help, can do so only to the extent to which its gifts to the Fund exceed Six Million Dollars. _ A lot of money; isn't it? yet than British Columbia is giving; if meee real on a per capita basis, and far less if measured by ability to pay. There will be no difficulty in securing the. Six Millions iflthree courses are followed: Three 1., If all County Councils make reasonably large ,grants..to:the national Fund. 2. £2 all towns; whether separated from their counties or not, will undertake campaigns for Courses 3. If avllolcitiuntaaens, • . in town or country, contribute fairly ao ceding to their means. subscrr tions As to No. 1. The County Councils art beginning well. Simcoehas docideetbo largely increase its; grant. For 1917 it will be the generous sum of $320,000. Victoria, anther county patriotic to the core, has doubled its grant, jumping it from $0.7,500 a month in 1916.to $5,0 $ 0 in 1919. The majority of the County Councils will decide at the January.sessrons how large their grants will be. Publieopinian wide great iniiuenee on the Councils. Every county ratepayer, sympathetic towards the Fund, should write or speak to his representative on the Council; endorsing a liberal giant. The small tax of three mills on the dollar raises a sum that constitute's a handsome con- tribution. As to No. 2. Many towns ignore the duty of holding campaigns. This applies particularly to teams which pay a county tax. Yet this tax never represents a fair or just contribution to the Fund from risen of nicsderate or large means. , Practically it is based on what the poorer men can afford. The richer'should give much moms and they can be reached only through a popular campaign. To relieve anxiety these campaigps should be held in January or February. Will not patriotic men and women in every town take up this duty? They.can get all information as to organization and methods by writing to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, Ottawa. And the Fund will asiet them also with a -:campaign of advertising. As to No. 3. Patriotism of the individual is the basis of the Fund. Everything is built OA it. If he will riot Make some sacrifice for the sake of the mothers, wives and children of the » hen at the front, the Fund sellers, and they suffer with it. The average family on the Fund requires $200 a»year from it. It is the duty—it should be considered the Privilege --of every Canadian stay-at-home to ask himself: For how many weeks; at $4 a week, must I, in self= respect and in gratitude; take care of one of these families? If my county taxation for this purpose means that I am taking care of telly or e' family for one' week when I cotild do more, am I doing the right thing? The answer to these questions will be found when he sits down and mails hie extra gift to the Treasurer of his local Fund; or to THE CANAL [AN PATRIOTIC FUND, OTTAWA.
