Railway Men to
Ask 25 Per Cent
Wage Increase
Chicago, , Nov. 3. (Special Tele
gramsUnion leaders, representing
organizations with a joint membership
of more than 250,000 men, have prac
tically completed their-plans for de
manding a wage increase. This will
in all probability be followed by a
strike. The men in conference are:
B. G. Garretson, head of the Brother
hood of Railway Conductors; W.' G.
Lee, president of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen;. L. L. Sheppard,
vice president of the conductors' or
ganization"; and James Murdock, vice
president of the Trainmen's union.
While no authoritative statement
could be obtained from any of the of
ficials, it is generally rumored that as
a result of their two days' meeting,
they will recommend that demands be
made on the managers of the railroads
throughout the -country for a 25 per
cent increase above the present rate
of wages.
'This recommendation will then be
submitted to the rank and file of the
four organizations on a strike vote.
How the men will vote is forecast by
the fact that local chairmen have al
ready told the officials of the unions
that their men are of the opinion they
should be granted an increase of any
where from 30 to 50 per cent, owing
to the increase in the cost of living
expense.

Chiropractic
Health Talks
v IvJ
"There is r.d hopa whatever for
recovery." ' r . . ' .;
This la often the verdict of some
true minded health practitioner,
when all his , knowledge and re
sources has ended in confessed
failure of means at his command.
People who think themselves
doomed to an existence under the
burden of a so-called "incurable"
malady should investigate the
science of Chiropractic.
This health mode is actually
helping legions of people who, hav
ing tried about everything else to
no avail, have found the relief they
so long desired and unsuccessfully
sought. : .
If you -are free from prejudice
of dogma, you are in position to
investigate my methods fairly.
Do not brood over the past nor
live in dreams of the future that
somehow perchance you may get
well but act now and secure ths
blessings of Chiropractic Adjust
ments. Investigation costs nothing and
means health and happiness. Ad
justments are $1.00 or 12 for $10.-

MAKE THE OLD
CLOTHES SERVE
Dresner Brothers, Omaha's Renowned
Cleaners and Dyers, Are Real
Friends of the Populace
Today.
Make the old clothes do instead of
buying new I
You read of "conservation" in al
most any. publication you may pick
up, and still one of the biggest bilL
of the nation today is the clothes bill
that its citizens must foot up daily,
weekly or monthly.
Dresher Brothers do not wish to
cripple the business of the tradesmen
by any means, yet, the fact remains
that folk could in thousands of cases
wear better clothes by "fixing uo"
those they already possess than by
buying new attire, which is of admit
tedly poorer quality than that offer
ed a few seasons ago.
Now then, lady, your last year's
suit or dress may be cleaned, taken
apart and put together again in the
height of style. Gentlemen may have
their suits, overcoats and hats re
modeled in the same way. At Dresher
Brothers' vast Cleaning and Dyeing
Plant at 2211-2217 'Farnam stmt,
Omaha, this work is done by positive
experts in their respective lines. All
work on ladies' or gentlemen's suits,
for instance, is done by professional
then tailors; all work on ladies'
dresses, on the other hand, being in
charge of really able dressmakers.
Hat repairing, etc., here is handled by
real hat makers, and fur work is done
by furriers. ' .
And, if you only knew of the big
amounts of money to be saved by fix
ing up your present attire instead of
buying new clothes, you would im
mediately make up a bundle too big
to be arried to Dreshers.
If you see this "conservation"
point in the right light, phone Tyler
345 for a Dresher Man, leave your
work at the Dresher plant, 2211-2217
Farnam St., at Dresner The Tailors,
1515 Farnam St, or at one of the
Dresher branches in the Burgesa-Nach
or Brandeis Stores. ;
Dreshers pay exprens or parcel post
charges one way on all out-of-town
shipments. Advertisement. '

Mrs. M. McGough, No. 4(M W. 57th
St, New York, N. Y., writes 4I
gladly add my mite of praise to Pe
runa for what it has done for me.
Two years ago a depressed feeling
took hold of me. My back and sides
uched continually. My stomach got
ouc of order so that at times I could
not hold a glass of cold water. I
didn't lik to cat, afraid that my
stomach would get sick.' I have been
using Peruna for the three past
months, and now I feel as well as I
ever did. My stomach, is as strong
as ever and my nervous troubles have
disappeared. I keep recommending
Peruna to my friends who are
troubled as I was, and I have been
thanked for doing so."

keep well, free to all.
Those who object to liquid medi
cines can now procure Peruna Tab

big lot of it which is soft and unfit
for anything except early feeding.
Damaging frosts and damp weather
in October prevented the corn from
dryine out promptly. A report from
Pocahontas county declares that 50
per cent of the corn there is soft
and will have to be" fed. Tests 01
Polk county corn already show that
only about 25 per cent is fit for seed
corn. A careful selection of seed corn
is being urged.
