BETTER HEALTH IF
CLOTHES ARE GLEAN
"Prof." Al. Dresher
Assertion About
Makes
"Dirt
Blocking Ventilation.
Clothes Cleaned at Dresners
Keep You in Health,
Says He.
"Tea Sir!" said Al Dresher of the
firm of Dresher Brothers, Cleaners
and Dyers with the $57,000 plant
at 2211-2213 Farnam St., "you'll
live longer and better If your clothes
are cleaned oftener."
"You see it's this way," added Al,
with a confidential smile that seem
ed to Invite a clothes cleaning order,
"what good is the natural system of
ventilating pores In one's skin If th
pute, fresh air cannot get to the
pores, I mean by that that the air
Bpaces 'twixt the weaves and threads
,of your clothes are blocked if they're
soiled and filled with dirt, etc., ana
when they're blocked the air doesn't
come through."
Al. is a good talker and a swift
talker, but he Is known for the truth
at that. There is much in his theory.
He has proved by numerous tests
that a clean piece of fabric may be
breathed through while a soiled piece
of , the same fabric may not be
breathed through. Al. contends also,
and has proof to show that un
cleaned clothes are hotter in sum
mer and colder In winter.
At any rate one ifeels and looks
better In -garments that are cleaned,
and the "system" in vogue at Dresh
ers Immense plant has brought down
cleaning costs to so low an ebb that
anyone and everyone is nowadays ex
pected to have his clothes cleaned
and pressed regularly and often.
Some might say that the clothes
cleaning art is one that may be en
Joyed only by city folks because of
the lack of suitable cleaning estab
lishments in the smaller towns, but,
euch is not the case, for Dresher's
Mall Order Dept. places the entire
plant at the disposal of people living;
even a thousand miles away, lu
fact, Dreshers pay return charges on
any sized bundle to any point in
America. And most of your clothes
may be sent by Parcel Post, so the
expense of carrying couldn't be very
great even if out of town folks were
to pay it both ways instead of one.
If you care to know more, about
the hygienics of clean clothes get
"Al." the ."Professor" on the phone
personally Just call Tyler 345 ana
ask for "Al." If "Al." isn't there
"Sam' has Just as good a story to put
up. After you've had your chat tell
Dreshers to send a wagon to your
home for your clothes.

by reason of a trick which she acquired
of "fainting" Into the onus of a 1 res

who knew nothing of her, the trick gained
sympathy for her and caused her release.
For several yeara, however, the faint

Bertha is 35 years of age. She at

she was 16 years old, when her father
died. Later, after an Illness, her men

first confinement In a public Institution
was the the Institute; for the feeble
minded at Glenwood, la. Later, accord
ing to her story, she was led to a sin

Her first instruction in real crime
came the first year of the Omaha expo
sition, when a young tl.tef with whom
she associated taught her how to pick
pockets and do other kinds of stealing.
Arrested In Illinois.
Bertha became one of the most suc
cessful girl thieves in the country, but
later was confined in ttn asylum at Cla

released after having undergone a se

and there received her first penitentiary
sentence, being sent to Jollet, then to
Elgin.
She escaped from Elgin and eventu
ally turned up In Omaha and from here
went to the ponltentiary at Lincoln
where she served several years. This
completed her penitentiary record, but
she has been inside of a largo number
of Jails in many cities.
