LUNCH TINE.

A number Of national commissioners
were at the grounds, watching the crowd,
and they were taught a lesson that may
cause them to more readily grease the
Sunday gates, when the matter comes up
for action this week.
The fair was not closed as tightly as on
previous Sundays, for all holders of photo
grapic passes were admitted, and quite
10000 persons passed through, most of
these, aside from workmen and newspaper
men, being exhibitors. Several Of the
villages in Midway plaisance ran as usual,

school day is over; the merchants

necessity to the brain, not less

the digestion is so frequently i'm
paired in the former class, there
is all the greater necessity for
the frequent administration
of food in small quantities

food is the best Of all stimulants.
More work and better can be &C
complished on bread and milk
than on tea or coffee or any other

plea for rest and food. A little rest
and a little food will give the tired
cells the aid they require and en-
able them to take up their work
without impairment and with full

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t Is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the sue -essful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prizo But the
Press Claims Company's offer Is somel hing
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself TO the best advantage is to be
rewa rded for doin il. The prize is only q
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for q club house on q
certain corner Is not accep led has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims COmpany's
competition, need not worry If he fail TO Sc
cure the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-One tn at will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article In his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies II only from the theoretical point of
view Get rid of tn idea that an imnrove-
ment can be too simple to be worth patentiug.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and popu-
larlty, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

Tho Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time .or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the1little frictiOns of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought
why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?" exclaims the traveller. "If l were
running the road would make them in such
a away"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking oi?' grumbles the cook. "He
never had to work over a stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed :"
Hang such a collar button!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break Off, or gouge out the back
Of my neck"
And then the various sutfere g forgot about
their grevar Is and be gin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves ssln-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who

NOT so HARD As IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius, like Edi-
son or Bel; that he mast devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
patentable degree of perfection. This delu.
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that il is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inven-
tions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of ingenuity-thep product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end
