Dresher Brothers Can Save You Hundreds Upon Hundreds of Dollars on Clothes During Each and Every Year. If Dresher Brothers, the clever cleaners and dyers at 2211-2217 Far nam St. clean, press, remodel and re style the garments you wore last year, you may step right out and wear those self-same garments this winter without a soul but yourself being any wiser. ' It's a fact; alsolute fact! For instance, if you have your overcoat nicely cleaned, new velvet collar applied, new linings inserted, etc., who would take it upon himself to come up and say: "That isn't a new coat you are wearing; you've had it cleaned and pressed." Folk cannot tell the difference, and, even if they do know, the chances are they would slap you on the back and say: "You are wise; your clothes look like new and you've saved a bunch of money!" If you only knew, if Dreshers could only convince you through the medium of cold, hard, printed type, how good a job of cleaning they could do for you, you would bring in your old garments in a hurry and start the saving process, for it is an admitted fact that there is a vast dif ference between the costf new clothes and the charges for cleaning, pressing, altering, etc. Remember, Dreshers have expert tailors, dressmakers, furriers, hat ters, feather workers, glove workers, yes, even rug, blanket, pillow and comfort cleaning workers. Any items coming under these heads can be cleaned far cheaper th.an they can be purchased new. Winter is upon you; you've got a pleasant day or two, 'tis true, but that gives you merely a breathing spell; an opportunity to send in your overcoats, etc., to be fixed up be fore you have an urgent need for them. --Send in your clothes now.

"The exact date which marks the beginning of the great religious move ment of which Martin Luther was the central figure was October 31, 1517," said Kev. Titus Lang, pastor of the First Evangelical Lutheran church. "On that date Luther nailed t?T the door of the church in Wittenberg his celebrated 9.S theses. They were propositions drawn up by Luther, who at the time was an Augustinian monk and a lecturer on theology at the great university. They were intended for discussion between the doctors of the school. "Luther never meant that they should lie a public document. This is seen Irom t lit . tact mat mey were written in Latin. It was the custom of the times to display such docu ments and subjects for debate for the student body and the teachers. "The reason for these theses was the scandalous abuse of the sale of in dulgences or forgiveness by a monk named Tctzel. In this poster Luther did not yet attack the doctrine of in dulgences itself, but he assailed the abuse. Unconsciously, however, he expressed the vital principle of the Reformation by the decided reference 1'. y MRS.

FRANCIS PIKPEI making the language of the country prominent in its work, preaches the faith of Luther in the land of Wash ington in 20 languages. "Lutheranism and Americanism both are great, and the greatness in both is liberty. In the former it is spiritual liberty and in the latter it is national, religious, political and per sonal liberty, "Schaff-Herzog says of Luther: 'He embodjes in his single person the boldness of the battlefield, the song of the musician, the joy and care of the parent, the skill of the writer, the force of the orator and the sincerity of rugged manhood, with the humility of the Christian."

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT It is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently if it is en tirely and properly cleansed each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying .shampoo that we can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyedat very little expense, by dissolving a tea spoonful of canthrox, which can be obtained from any druggist, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair in stead of just the top of the head. This when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all impurities. It is very soothing and cooling in its action, as well as beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean arid free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and even ly, developing a bright luster and a soft fluffiness that makes it seem very heavy.
