New Steam Garment Pressing Ma. chinery Installed at White Star
 Laundry.

We have just installed a. steam garment pressing machine that really presses (and not irons) garments. More and better results are obtained than can be obtained by the old meth cd of hand pressing. Heat, steam and
 heavy pressure are necessary for
 pressing garment. The steam is driven into the garment while under
 pressure, thus setting the fibre and weave of the cloth. The results are fine, smooth work, accomplished ill
 one third the time required by the hand presser. Uniform work is posi- lively assured. Uneayenness in fin ish is practically impossible. By this
 method the finish is revived and 2 new luster imparted to the cloth that | is not possible by the hand method
 Suits are cleaned and pressed (coat and trousers) for 75 cents, or pressed only for 35 cents suit. We guar antee to do good work. THE WHITE

CHURCH SEEKS
PASTOR ALISON
Big Metropolitan Church in
Washington Said to De-
sire Vests Preacher
SAYS He HAS NO CALL

That the Rev. Alexander Alison. Jr.,
may receive a call to become pastor
of the noted Metropolitan Church in
Washington has been reported for sew
eral days. 1t is the leading Presby-
terian Church in Washington, and it
is known that a committee from that
congregation recently attended West
Church to hear Pastor Alison preach.
IL is understood. too. that tho comit-
tee conferred with Pastor Alison and
intimated that they desired him to be-
come pastor of the Washington congre-
cation. Reports have been current in
Washington for several days that DR..
Alison has been called to become pas
tor Of the Metropolitan Church.
When Mr.. Alison was asked about
the subject to-day he denied that he
had received an invitation or call to
become pastor of the Washington
church. Mr.. Alison has had wonderful
success at West Church and has made
a reputation as pulpit orator as well
as a successful upbuilder of the church.
He has hosts of friends who would
regret his departure from the city.
