PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-Five Hun
dred Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner Has Clear Gift of 6
Small For tune, and the Losers
Have Patents that May Bring
Them in Still More.

Would you like TO make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes much at
tention to patents. 1t has handled thousands
of applications for inventions, but it would
like to handle thousands more. There is plen-
ty of inventive talent at large in this country,
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the
Press Claims Company proposes to give.

The cellar is no place to store
vegetables unless it is inspected
often and kept clean. Cellars are a
nuisance when they contain decay
ing matter and may induce disease
in the family. Ii it is damp it is
better to fill it up entirely rather
than to permit it to injure the
health of the family. The proper
place for cellar is under the barn
instead ofunder the dwelling house.
Italian bees seem to gain in favor
with beemen. They are prolific,
gentle, energetic and have longer
tongues, which enable them to sue
coed better than other bees in gath
ering nectar.

NOT SO HARD As 1T SEEMS.

A patent strikes person as an appallingly
formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor
must be natural genius like Edison or Bell;
that he must devote years to delving in compli-
Gated mechanical problems, and that he must
spend fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get a new device to patentable degree
of perfection. This delusion the company de-
sres to dispel. 1t desires to get into the head
OF the public a clear comprehension of the fact
that it is not the great. complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors. but the little, simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention of
the Patent Office.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost of
his experiments But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit OF rubber cord to a
child's ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown, made fortune out of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine is a mi
racle OF ingenuity-the product of the toll Of
hundreds OF busy brains through a hundred
and fifty years, but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye of the needle at the
point instead of at the other end.

Wheat middlings, with more or
less skim milk, makes ration on
which pigs will grow rapidly and
without becoming too fat. 1t is all
the better if mixed with cooked veg
etables and fallen fruit. There is a
great amount of such feed wasted
on farms where a stock of hogs
large enough to consume it is not
kept. With very small amount
of corn to finish off with the pork
required for a years use can be pro-
duced at small expense. In feeding
the corn at the last end it is a mis-
take to give it to the exclusion of
other feed, All corn quickly stops
digestion, and by making the pig

healthfulness of pork. A small adj
dition Of linseed meal to the milk
and bran ration will make the pig
fatten without interfering with
growth, as cornmeal will do,

The Rest Plaster.

Dampen piece of flannel with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bind
it on over the seat of pain. 1t is
better than any plaster. When the
lungs are sore such an application
on the chest and another on the
back, between the shoulder blades,
will often prevent pneumonia.
There is nothing so good for lame
back or a pain in the side. A sore
throat can nearly always be cured
in one night by applying flannel
bandage dampened with Pain Balm.

organized on last Saturday under Section
2l2l of law enacted March 14th, 1893,
which provides that the Trustees OF the
township shall constitute a Board OF

One regulation passed and adopted was
to order all ponds of water that became
stagnant during the summer season to
be either drained or filled up. This is
certainly good move in the right
direction.
The Board of Education Of this CLAY
township appointed A. ]. Fry as truant
officer for the ensuing year. The truant
law will be enforced the coming year if
it is violated as it was last year. The
reason certain parties were not prose-
cuted last year was because the office
was vacated by truant officer moving
out OF the township, and the Board
failed to have another appointed in time.
