Duffrs Pure Malt Whiskey has Ions- been recognized by the profession and laity as one of the most effective remedies and preventatives of grip, pneumonia, coughs, colds and diseases of the re spiratory organs. Unprejudiced physicians readily recommend and use it in practice and hospital work because of its absolute purity and quality. It is acceptable to the most delicate stomach as it is made from the choicest of grains thoroughly malted and reauiring little effort of the digestive organs. If taken in tablespoon doses in equal amounts of water or milk before meals and on retiring it assists in checking the disease, helps prevent wasting qf the tissues and helps the stomach to more perfectly digest and assimilate food. Fortify your system by taking Duffy's regularly. . 'J San Carlo Company Wins Once in awhile there is something so good and at the same time so in expensive that it advertises itself. A notable example of this fact is the series of operas to be given here by the San Carlo Grand Opera company. No publicity agent is neededJ for the critics combine with popular taste to make the organization widely known. Here is a case in point. Writing in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat for No vember 4 the distinguished musical critic of that newspaper had this to say: "If Ellis grand opera was worth $5 a throw, what, by the same gauge. was the an Larlo production ot 'Aida' worth? The answer is that the Ellis grand opera wasn't worth $5 and that the San Carlo opera would have been cheap at the price. Mow Impresario Gallo manages to keen together a company like the one of this season is a mystery nobody can solve but be himself." f Another excerpt, one from the Cleveland Leader, discloses how the , public itself is a first-class publicity bureau. Last October that newspa per said: "The crowds are not par ticularly ' bejeweled when the San Carlo company sings. These throngs of patrons go to the theater to be come better acquainted with the great works of the composers. They do not hear Melba and Caruso; they do hear competent vocalists who Jiave had much experience abroad sing ers who know their repertory aa well as a child knows his alphabet." It may be added that the series of operas' selected for presentation in Omaha are the ones best calculated to please such an audience as the Cleveland Leader has described. These are the offerings chosen fof presenta tion at the Auditorium: "Aida," Jan uary 25; "Faust," January 26; "Tales of Hoffman," matinee, January 27; "Cavalleria Kusticana" and "Pag liacci," Saturday evening, January 27. An impressive array of principals is found with the company; four emi nent sopranos, an equal number of mezzo sopranos, four famous tenors, the same -number of noted baritones and two celebrated bassos. As for the rest of the company, iris more numerous than formerly. The or chestra is one of over thirty pieces, and the scenic investiture is new, fresh and elaborate.. . In "Aida" will be heard the dra matic soprano, Mary Kaestner, and the Spanish tenor, Manuel Salazar, in the role of Radames. tary; Emil Tuma, assistant secretary; V. F. Kuncl, treasurer. City Com missioners Jardine, Parks and Butler attended the meeting and explained features of the city government. Louis Kaspar's orchestra enlivened the occasion with a musical program.

HOUSE OF MAGIC NEEDED BY ALL Drethers Do Cleaning Work Previously Deemed Ut terly Impossible. Everybody Admit Dresner to Be a "House of Hustlers.' "Oh, but you folk do wonderful work !" "My, 1 never thought that gar ments could be put into such ele gant shape again." Dresher Brothers, the Cleaners and Dyers at 2211-2217 Farnam St., are modest, else they would be completely upset by the compli ments paid their work every day every hour. v You see, it's this way; Dreshers take an unusual pride in their work. Long ago Dreshers figured that any cleaning plant could do the ordinary work, but that the best trade and the largest business is to be captured and kept only by out-of-the-ordinary efforts. This extraordinary ability of Dreshers applies to the cleaning, pressing, remodeling and, restyling of men s and women's garments to the repairing and rebuilding of furs, to the cleaning and steaming of velvet garments, to the cleaning of gloves and feathers, and mak ing, repairing and reblocking of hatsrOf course, it is understood that Dreshers are extraordinarily capable in the cleaning of rugs, lace curtains, pillows, comforters, etc. Add to this the thousand and one "oeld jobs" and "special or ders" that are brought in here dur ing the course of a year and you have a rough sketch of Dreshers' capabilities. But, to top off the good work, there is the ever present unchal lenged "Dresher Service." Dresh ers listen to what you want and do the job accordingly, your way, and quickly, too. Dreshers know that "the customer is always right," and work accordingly. Should you need anything done, phone Tyler 345, and one of the eight Dresher Autos will speed your way and gather in the work in a hurry. Should you need a suit of clothes made to order, "o to Dresher The Tailor, 1615 Farnam St, Dresher The Tailor also re ceives work for the Dresher Clean ing plant. Dreshers also maintain offices at the Burgess-Nash Co. and Brandeis Stores. Dreshers pay express or parcel post charges one way on any sized shipment to any point.
