'immense strides have been made in
this short time. One of the leading
experts predicts that the receiver of
the future will have a number of but-

each button. When the receiver is
installed the purchaser will select his
favorite stations and the machine will
then be adjusted so that pressure on
any button will instantly bring in the
station for which that button is .la-
belled. This would certainly be very
convenient for those fans who do not.

lege of hearing grand opera at Detroit
last week, when the Chicago Civic
Opera Company, presented the play
The Jewess at Orchestra Hall. Of
course: the opera was sung in Italian
but the explanations by the announcer
between acts helped the listener to ap
preciate the entertainment. The lead -
rang role was sung by Rosa Raisa,
who is one of the leading singers of
the present time. Her singing was
easily the best: we have ever heard.
This treat was provided through cour-

eminent if a strong station were lo-
cated at Ottawa so that the leaders
of the country could address the pub-
lic :from time to time. For some rea-
son the stations located in Toronto
reach this district very weakly and it
is very difficult to hear their concerts.
If a number of the smaller broadcast-
ers in Toronto were to unite and erect
a "super" station no one of the down-
town skyscrapers'Toronto would • cer-

of the small American cities would
have remained practically unknown to

there are numerous other cities which

Dreco Carne
"Dreco does all and more than is
claimed for it," declares Stratford
man, after it rid him of sufferings
of many years standing
"When I started taking Dreco,"says
Mr. L. R. Lawson, of 249 Biles St.,
Stratford, Ont. "I was discouraged.
I :had taken several other so-called
remedies without the least result. I
had about given up hope' 'of getting
any relief and was almost on the point
of giving up my work.
"To -day, thanks to Dreco, I feel
like another man, Stomach•and liver
trouble and constipation are leaving
pie quickly. .I can now eat my food
with relish andwhat is more, digest
it. I sleep soundly after a hard day's
work and get up in the morning feel-
ing fit as a fiddle. My complexion is
clearing of itssallowness and nay
bowels are regular.
"My liver, formerly sluggish, is ac-
tive once more I no longer have
dizzy .spells."
Increase your appetite, improve
your digestion, relieve constipation
and arouse your liver to healthy ac-
tivity by
ctivity-by taking Dreco, the mostre-
liable corrective and system builder.
known. This pure herbal preparation
cleanses and tones each of the vital
organs and purifies the blood stream.
Dreco contains no mercury, potash'
or habit forming drugs.
Dreco is being specially introduced
in Winghain by J. Walton McKibbon,
and is sold by a good druggist every-
where.
A LAUGH A DAY KEEPS
THE WRINKLES AWAY
You can't be hard and grasping and
selfish and inconsiderate and conceit-
ed, and not have it show in your face.
You .:an't lose yourself in anger and
bitterness, and not have them tell on
you when you are not at your best
behavior. You cannot tighten your
lips in meanness, and not have more.
than a hint of the devil within you.
You cannot spend half your time
frowning and not have a few perman-
ent lines creep in.
A laugh a day keeps the wrinkles
away. Only multiply that by a hun-
dred. Beauty goes deeper than the
skin. You can prove that to :your
self in five minutes in front of the
rnjrror.
Laughter, love, friendship and sym-
pathy, that is what keeps away the
wrinkles and make one beautiful, phy-
sically as well as personally and mar -
Good humor is highly reckoned a
most valuable aid to happy home
life. We all know how it brightens
up things generally to have- a lively
witty companion who sees the ridi-
culous points of things and can turn
an 'anaoyatice into an occasion for
laughter.
If you feel a little grouchy,
And you're somewhat off your feed,
You should heed my timely warning,
And accept my simple creed;
There's a balm for every heartache,
There's a key for every lock,
And a cure for your pet ailment
Is to walla, walks walk.
--Apologies to John. Hanna.
