Why soap for fine laundering
should be in fakes

Every season fabrics grow sheer,
more delicate while soap products have remained
they years ago. Soap in cake form is
perfectly safe for plain laundering but it is very
hard sheer fabrics silks and wooens
Rubbing the cake soap directly on the fabric
makes woolens shrink. turns silks yellow and
spoils the luster, breaks delicate threads and
coarsens any fine fibre
Also when soap is rubbed directly the fabric it is
necessary to rub just hard in the rnsng get the
out Even then small pieces Of soap usually left
in; this stains and weakens the fabric.
Pure essence of soap in fakes
Lux made in fake form because in these tiny fakes
is condensed real cleansing value than possible

different from anything you have ever seen.

Not a Strike Lost

Since Colorado went dry, laborers
have not lost single strike. The
great improvement in labor conditions
that resulted from Prohibition is de-
scribed by Otto F. Thum, member Of
the Typographical Union and former
commissioner of property of Denver
in the annual convention number Of
the Denver Labor Bulletin:
For the entire year 1916 and
one-half of the year 1917 the glor-
ious state of Colorado has trudged
along the even tenor OF its way
without the open saloon.
For year and half the people
of the state have been free from
the vulgar, domineering, leering
and sneering saloon.
And what blessing it is to us
all
And, honestly, isn't it grand
and glorious feeling, this assured

QUITS BUYING SALOONS
Sacramento Plan for Cutting Down
Booze Business Is Found To
Be a Failure

The City Commissioners of Sacra-
mento are so disguised with the sa-
loon appraisements presented in the
city purchase plan that they are ready
to tear the saloon purchasing ordi-
nance to pieces and cease buying any
more saloons to reduce their number.
Ten appraisements were read with
only two below the $1,000 mark, and
others as high as $1,000. Commission
er Simmons said:
Evidently there is an attempt on
the part of the saloon men to hold
out for the highest price. | am dis
heartened in this matter. We have
given the saloons a fair trial and they
don't seem to appreciate it. earthly
believe that we should repeal the ordi-
nance and buy no more saloons"

safety from the demoralizing sa-
loon?
You ask me: How has the alb
sence of the saloon benefited the
working men and women, and |
answer:
Working Men Benefited
They are benefited in thou
sand ways. The briefest way to
express it is to recount the fact
that not ono OF the many disasters
that it was predicted by the vets
would befall the workers (if we
closed the saloons) has happened.
On the contrary, there has been a
general betterment on all sides.
Besides that, here in Colorado,
where we have always had the
open saloon up to year and a
half ago, the workers lost strike
after strike when they attempted
to better their working conditions.
In the last year and half NOT
single strike has been lost. Eyer
think of that? Ever try to dis
cover the reason for it?
Yes, there is some bootlegging
and some illicit distilling, but the
organized labor men are not do
ing it, although sometimes they
are blamed for it. But the boot
logger and the private distiller are
both law-breakers and the law
breaker can never hope to achieve
results. His very stealth betrays
him.
My observation is that very few,
if any, real sensible leaders among
the organized workers would ever
again vote to give the saloons a
new lease of life in Colorado. All
are so thoroughly convinced of
the manifold benefits that have be-
fallen us during our dry time that
we don't want any more wet.

DECREASE IN ARRESTS

Figures showing the arrests
for drunkenness during the first
four months of no-license pol
icy, May, June, July and August,
1917, of six Massachusetts cities
reveal a remarkable decrease
for the corresponding months of
1916. The figures are: 1867
arrests under the wet months
and 1926 arrests during the dry
four months. This is a decrease
of 90 per cent. The six cities
are Fall River, Fitchburg, Hav-
erhill, Leonminster, North
Adams and Taunton.
