Why t!ie Hoover Suction Sweeper
Gets All the Dirt
The dirt in your carpet and rugs is
of three kinds. The first, the light
surface dirt. The second, clinging
dirt, such as, thread, hair and lint:
The third, imbedded dirt. . The heavy,
gritty dirt that is carried in by the
feet and sifts down into the body of
your carpet and rugs. This is tlie
dirt thnt does the dnmage to the fa
bric and defies the effort of ordinary
vacuum cleaners. The Hoover is tlie
only machine that is designed to take
care of nil the three classes of dirt.
Use the sweeping to loosen the ding
ing hair and thread. Use the shaking
to loosen and bring to the surface the
heavy, imbedded dirt. Use the suction
to dispose of all of this dirt in a dust
less manner. Powerful suction alone
can not dislodge the clinging or im
bedded dirt, but the patented electric
driven brush of the Hoover supplies
the necessary help. Call Main 7ffl.

Elgin Benefit
Netted $lbU
ELGIN, Uracil 22. (Special.)
The' Red Cross benefit entertain
ment, for which Mrs. Stafford has
been working for the past several
weeks, was a great success. The
Red Cross drill, which was under
the direction of Miss Tcarl I'lrlli!p,
was very pretty and well put on
by twenty or the Honor Guard Girls
who were all dressed in Red Cro3s
nurse's uniform. Dr. x Roberts, of
Entorprse, rendered several musical
selections, which were deeply ap
preciated by the Elgin people. The
net proceeds were $160.
Many neat and practical clothes
are being turned Into the Red CroiW
rooms for the Belgian relief fu..d.

A book census of La Grande
would reveal In tho homes of the
people a vast number of sets of
Cooper, Scott, Dickens and llulwer
Lytton in large octavo volumes,
dull brown covers, two columns of
print to the page. Judging from
the number of these sets donated to
the public library In the past, we
should believe that books in this
form, excellent as the editions may
be, do not appeal to the younger
generation. In these days of cheap
and eaBy literature, children avoid
unattractive covers mid fine print.
If you want the young people to
read really good, standard fiction,
try buying Just one beautiful edi
tion1 of ra single' book,' instead of li
whole set. The following are sug
gested, but there are ninny other
illustrated editions equally' desira
ble. Where no series or edition is
mentioned, the one which sells be
tween one and two dollars Is re
commended. The cheaper series
like Everyman's library arc not po
pular with children.

The Food Administration has In
structed all public libraries to ob
talu and circulate all literature pos
sible on food and cookery. A seri
ous difficulty in this program Is
the Impossibility or obtaining
enough copies ot the popular bulle
tins on war breads and meat sub
stitutes. To overcome this lack, the
library is beginning a card index or
recipes. H you have tested new re
cipes for making war bread, or us

Looking Well
It is not solely a matter of
good clothes. It aNo in
volves proper corseting.
The use of good materials,
clock spring boning and the
very superior designs that
are found in the MO PART
Front Laced Corset, gives
the proper poise to the fig
ure that induces a carriage
that will show clothes to the
best possible advantage.
A badly poised or improp
erly corsetted figure will
nover look well even in the
best of clothes. A half hour
in our Corset Department
will prove to you by direct
fitting that in a MODAltT
Front Laced Corset, a su
perior garment is found.
We know from our own ex
perience that woman after
woman lias improved her
appearance by the use of
these corsets. They are com
fortable, stylish and wear
well.

AND THE PATBIOTIC CITIZEN
RESPONDS GLADLY
You are asked now to conserve fats that are
necessary for starving women and children, and
our soldiers "over there."
And, instead, the government says:' "Use
vegetable fats," which are pure, nutritious and
, inexpensive.
This is an easy request for Northwest citizens to obey. One way is to use PEARL SHORT
ENING a government inspected, "Made in Oregon" product, composed largely of vegetable fat.
PEARL SHORTENING meets all your cooking needs; you will be relieving railroad conges
tion by using a local product, and you will be helping those "war-worn" allies of ours.
In other words, the employment of PEARL SHORTENING forms a strong link in the chain
of food conservation. y ' . ;
Sold by all progressive grocers at a price that appeals to thrifty housewives.
