INTERESTED IN PICKETs.
Confederate Veterans Pause to Talk
With Suffragists at White House.

Confederate Veterans. stirred per-
haps by the days when they themselves
did picket duty, though of a different
kind, are greatly interested in the pickets
on duty before the White House, and few
of them pass these stations without
pausing to talk with the women hold
ing the banners.
Most Of them appeared to have fol-
lowed the women's campaign for votes.
especially with regard to the pickets.
The pickets report that many of the
veterans stop to give a word of cheer
and announcement as they pass. and
the gallant men in the faded gray lift
their hats as they pass the banner
bearing groups.
One white-haired veteran stepped up
to picket and inquired If he was in
front of the White House. She told
him he was.
Il knew it," he replied. i've been
three times around this place wonder
ing whether this is where the Presi-
dent lives. Then I saw you girls come
out with the flags and banners and
stand here. l recognized you pickets
and l knew l was at the right house.
We-all heard about you pickets down
in Alabama and we admire your spunk."

BOOZE CRIMES SHOW
 50 PER CENT DECREASE

VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 23-"When you come to consider that the whole social structure of the province of British Columbia is subjected to a tremendous upheaval on the advent of the prohibition law 1t is more than satisfactory to be able to say that the first month from the official stand point at least, has been an unquali- fled success" Such was the statement made by Prohibition Commissioner Findlay this morning when review ing the thirty-one dry days in the light of official returns from all DOT tions of the province. During the month there has been a reduction of 80 per cent in offenses dealt with by the military police as being either directly or indirectly attributable to the use of intoxicants. The net sales receipts of government stores at Vic toria and Vancouver combined do not reach $1,7OO. Attractions of the act for the whole province for the first month were forty-six, with forty-four convictions, entailing fines amount ing to $500.

THE OLD STARCH DOES IT.
Why celIars Crack in Laundering an'
 hsW te Save Them.

Why Cellars Crack In Laundering and
 Hsw ts Save Them.
 In laundering collars and shirts the nryt thing to be done is to get the old starch out of them. No amount of washing in water. hot or cold, will do this. for water does not dissO,ve starch. Cracked collars are due to the old starch being left in the fabric and new starch being put on top of 1t.
 In the words of Wright ysn Dsusell in the National Laundry Journal. "the old starch remaining fin the goods crys- tallizes under the heat and pressure of the ironing machine and puts the fiber in . brittle condition: hence when bent for pressing through the flushing ma. chine 1t cracks. Remove the old starch. and. with the uniform consistency of everything that is good in new starch the collar will be 70 pliable that 1t can be bent between finger and thumb with little danger of damage"
 The remedy is very simple. It K that used by most of the largest collar nianufacturers-the dissOlving of the old starch with a liquid malt extract called diastass. This turns the starch into sugar and takes 1t out of the fab ric. One laundry In Troy handles 275.- 600 dozen collars a week and has so few broken collars that 1t pays its in- spectOrs a bonus Of 2la cents for each one found.
