The Hoover Saves You Your Rugs and Your Money HOW THE HOOVER SAVES YOU HOW THE HOOVER SAVES YOUR RUGS HOW THE HOOVER SAVES YOU MONEY By eliminating all back-breaking work and germ-scatter ing that attends the old broom and beating methods. The Hoover saves you worry and fatigue, and the nerve wrecking experience of a disordered house. Only the Hoover can do this, because it is the only cleaner that has a process which replaces the necessary fundametals of all thorough cleaning—beating, sweeping, cleaning. The Hoover lifts the rug from the floor and gent'y beats it, loosening all the fine particles of dirt and grit that sifts down into the nap, thus destroying your rug. The Hoover collects all lint and hair that resist air clean ing and ordinary sweeping, the nap springs upright, col ors are restored. Your rug looks like new. The Hoover puts an end to carpet cleaning bills and wages for extra help. It protects draperies against do struction by dust. Best of all, the Hoover saves great, sums of money paid to replace rugs worn out by nap cutting grit. In this way alone the Hoover pays for itself many times over. $5.40 DOWN $6.70 DOWN FOR THE BABY HOOVER FOR THE HOOVER SPECIAL WOULD YOU INVEST $1.35 A WEEK IN THIS SPLENDID CLEANER?

All in all this is a very good novelty show that is bound to please you. _ At tiie Dltnias It Is like making a sight seeing tour of London to see "Three Live Ghosts.” which delighted large and appreciative audiences at the Dit xnas Theatre yesterday. The story which is quite captivating, takes one through the Limehouse district. Whitechapel, and Clerkenwell, and gives one a glimpse of Trafalgar Square. Piccadily Circus, the Abbey, Whitehall and Downing street. Anna Q. Nilsson and Norman Kerry, the featured players, are excellent and the supporting cast is exception ally clever. A wave of excitement agitated the busiest thoroughfare of London when a hurley policeman held lip the traffic to allow the passage of an aristocratic looking gentleman, immaculately tailored wheeling the latest thing in expensive baby car riages, to which was attached a sheep which showed an obvious dis inclination to cross the road. Absorbed and quite unperturbed by the amazement caused by his un heralded arrival, the gentleman steered his charge to the opposite side walk and from its astonishment, had apparently vanished into thin air. At the same moment two cameras which had been taking a record of this unusual scene from the inside of a covered motor lorry ceased to grind, and George Fltzmaurice, famous Paramount producer, con gratulated himself an having suc cessfully secured a particularly ef fective and difficult "shot.” The episode showed Cyril Chad wick in his impersonation of "Spoo fy” in "Three Live Ghosts.” Will Entered For Probate NEW BRUNSWICK, May 5—The will of David Van Dusen. of South Amboy, who died April 7, has been entered for probate.
