housekeeping BY Electricity

Electricity has banisbed the twice
a-year housekeeping time and all
the haunting terrors which the name
implies. The home OF today is kept
permanently clean with the electric
removator and consequently there Is
no spring or fall housekeeping work
| to be done.
Electricity has added much to the
comforts OF the home, from ringing
the door bell to sitting the ashes;
from lighting the rooms to cooking
the food, and now it has condescended
to take on the additional response
bility OF cleaning the house.
Primarily the electric house-cleaner
consists of small movable device
equipped with double fan, revolv-
ing brush and proper receptacles for
dust and dirt. The fan and the brush
are driven by powerful, though
small, General Electric motor. The
brush loosens every particle OF dust
in the floor coverings and the dirt is
drawn into the dust receptacle by a
volume OF air. Sweeping the floors
in this way leaves no clouds of sitting
dust to settle later on the furniture
and fixtures. The m achine will pick
up matches and pieces OF paper or
pins as it moves across the floor.
Carpets and rugs can be cleaned in a
a tenth OF the time it takes to sweep
them by hand. The furniture and
curtains can be thoroughly cleansed
without removing them from their
original positions. Hotels, churches
and theatres having large carpeted
interiors also find the electric cleaner
most valuable on account OF the speed
with which large carpets and extensive
furniture can be cleaned.
The electrical connections are made
at the lamp socket and the machine
is pushed across the floor like an
ordinary carpet sweeper. For clean
ing under radiators, furniture or in
corners a hose 'ttachment is used
which will reach the most inaccessible
places.
The device is equipped with several
important attachments. One to clean
floor coverings, cushions, mattresses,
lounges, etc.; another for cleaning
crevices, corners, and all difficult
places from floor to ceiling. Still
another is used to clean walls, pic
lures, curtains, mouldings, shelves,
cornices, ornaments, or fixtures, etc.
No skill is required to operate the
machine; there is no deafening noise
and the work can be done in a few
minutes at trifiing cost.
! Not only does the electrical house
cleaner sweep the house thoroughly
but it sterilizer and renovates as we'll.
There is an attachment for driving a
blast OF air through pillows, mat
tresses, and cushions and still another
to sterilize for the destruction of
disease germs.
When a room needs cleaning all
that is necessary is to bring in the
electric cleaner and attach the flexible
cord to the lamp socket. The motor
is started and the cleaner pushed back
and forth across the floor until the
carpet is clean.

the world, will give Joe Cans, former
holder of the title, a return match and
a chance to regain the title the Dane
hammered away from him last Fourth
of July. This battle will be at forty
five rounds and will be fought at the
championship limit OF 1913 pounds at
ringside.
In the telegram above Nelson sends
greeting to his Los Angeles friends and
gives them exact facts regarding his
condition and tells them of his hopes
regarding the result. There hardly is
a man who does not wish the Battler
all possible success In this fight. News
that Cans had defeated him and won
back the title would be bad news not
only to the friends of Nelson, but to
all lovers of the sport. 1t would indi-
cate that Cans faxed in his previous
battle with Nelson and 1t would be poor
reward for Nelson in giving the black
wonder return match.
This fight will be on the up-and-up.
That is a cinch bet. Nelson never
faxed in his life, is as honest and
square as any man and he owes his
personal POPULARITY to these facts. The
public has all confidence In him. II
there was a fake in the previous bat
tie it was a one-man affair. But few
believe that the previous battle was
other than on the level.
According to telegraphic reports from
the training camps and from reports
brought south by those who have Wis
tied both fighters since they began to
train for this fight, Cans is all in. The
story that his stomach has gone back
on him will not down, and as this Is
the exact portion of Cans anatomy
toward which Nelson will level his ar
tillery, Cans must be right to win.

SAYS HE INVESTED 500;
HAS PARTNER ARRESTED

G. e. Lynch was arrested last night
by Detectives Ritch and Roberds and
placed in central station on suspicion.
1t is alleged that Lynch advertised
for partner in a manufacturing BUSH
ness and when w. H. Leslie answered
the advertisement he was informed
that the business was the preparing of
a face lotion and beauty cream which
had large sale.
Leslie invested $500 in the beauty
cream factory and within a few days
found that there was absolutely no
demand for the product. He asked for
his money back and Lynch is said to
have offered to return him $25 for a
release in full Leslie refused to take
the money and complained to the po-
lice.

came down to the Ketchel-Papke fight,
and while in the city arranged an ex-
cellent card for the edification of the
San Bernardino fans. He matched
Howard Baker and Willie Fairbanks at
catchweights for September 80. Both
boys met him yesterday, signed articles
and posted their appearance forfeits.
This Is an attractive card anywhere
and is one of the best that has been
offered the San Berdoo fans. Fair
banks will outweigh Baker by few
pounds and is harder hitter, but
Baker evens up this advantage In his
speed and cleverness. Quite a good
delegation will go from Los Angeles to
see the scrap.
Freddie and Eddie Maier entertained
Champion Billy Papke and his manager
at a beefsteak supper Monday evening
after the fight. The supper was served
at the brewery and quite large bunch
of local sportsmen attended. This was
the first banquet for the new champion
and he proved himself quite an after
dinner speaker by his first speech as
champion of the world. The Maier

Returns of the Nelson-Gans fight will
be received this afternoon at Jeffries'
cafe and will be announced round by
round from the balcony in the rear of
the place. Jack Ripper is so deeply
interested in the result that he could
not wait for a flash by wire at the end
of the fight and decided to let his
friends enjoy the news of the progress
of the fight by wire with him.

stitution has been sufficient to justify
these reports. He is not the Cans Of
two and three years ago by whole
lot. In no fight since the Goldheld bat
tie has he shown that brilliant form
which won for him the championship
and made him feared by all rival light
weights.
He still has his cleverness, speed and
generalship. but he must fight Nelson
to win back his title, as even a draw
would not transfer the honors. Any
time he stacks up against Nelson in
toe-to-toe scrap he must be prepared
to take lot of punishment, and few
believe he is able to stand UP under it.
Nelson is SO rugged that Cans cannot
hurt him, and it looks very much like
the odds of favoritism already placed
against the chances of the Dane were
justified In good Judgment and on
sound reasoning. The fight should end
in, ten rounds and the title should re-
main where it Is.
