UNION PACIFIC AND PANAMA CANAL COMPANION FEATS A Garment Must INDEED Be Played Out If Dreshers Cannot Make It Look NEW! Droshors are often asked: "How old and seedy must a garment be before you cast it aside as un worthy of being cleaned and fixed up." Jn reply to this Dreshers say: "Bring us the worst appealing garment you have and wo will fix it up so that it's presentable; we've never yet como across a garment so worn out, so shabby, torn or stained that we couldn't clean it and make a decent looking piece of attire out of it."

Tho Union Pacific with its connections crosses tho continent at lt widest part. It was i tho pioneer of American railroads. The Panama canal also crosses the American continent, but at the narrowest portion, and Is not only tho first canal, but the only one to cross tho continent. A traveler to the Pacific coast for tho purpose of seeing the California exposl t:.ns should use the old hlstorlo route which for half a century has carried travelers to the "Golden state."

Franklin said- Kxnosttlon Notes. Am th vision of manv of America's greatest architects, sculptors and artists become realities, as the magnitude of the exposition design is today revealed by prodigious progress in construction, the world sees come true every great Ideul which was cherished for this vast and complex undertaking. Preparations for participation In many Important special events during the period of the exposition are far advanced. Many companies of mllltla are preparing to participate, In force, In military drills und maneuvers during the summer of 1813. This attractive feature will be en hanced by the participation of detach ments of the cavalry and Infantry of foreign powers. Tho thirty-one roretgn nations who have announced their Intention to par ticipate officially In the exposition are 1 Argentine, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chill, l China, Cost It lea, Cuba, Denmark, Do.

The Tungsten Lamp of today gives nearly three times the amount of light given by the old car bon lamp for the same cost. Tungsten Lamps Give More Light for the Money The pure, white radiance of Tungsten Lighting is soothing to tired eyes. For reading or sowing at night, its steady mollow glow is ideal. If your house is not equipped for Electric Light, you should have it wired now. Remember, thousands of votes may be se cured through the purchase of things elec trical, and for wiring of old and new houses. Omaha Electric Light ? Power Co.
