NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an
unusual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for
the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is only stimulus to do
something that would be well worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan for q club house
on certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents simple and useful device in
the Press Claims COmpany's competi-
ton need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has a substantial result
to show for his work-one that will
command its value in the market at
any time.
The plain man who uses any article
in his daily work ought to Know bet
ter how to improve it than the
mechanical expert who studies it only
from the theoretical point of view.
Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth
patenting. The simpler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
Simplicity and popularity, will get the
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers of the
United States.

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST vALU-

Comparatively Few people regard
themselves as inventors, but ..almost
everybody has been struck, sat one
time or another, with ideas that seemed
calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such are ideas
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. "IfI were running the road
I would make them in such a way
What was the man that made this
saucepan thinking OFF" 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 collar button!" growls
the man who is late for breakfast "If 1
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 sufferers for
get about their grievancet ard begin
to think of something else. If they
would sit down at the next convenient
opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans,a and collar buttons
into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves
as independently wealthy as the man,
who invented the iron umbrella ring
or the one. ho...patented... the. fifteen
puzzle.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get $500 Dollars
for Nothing.
The Winner Has a Clear Gift of
a Small Fortune, 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 CLANS Company devotes
much attention to patents. 1t has
handled thousands of applications for
inventions, but it would like to handle
thousands more. There is plenty of
inventive talent at large in this couE
try, needing nothing but encourage
ment to produce pratical results. That
encouragement the Press Claims
Company proposes to give.
NOT 80 HARD AS IT SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people 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
complicated mechanical problems and
that he must spend fortune on
delicate experiments before he can
get new device to patentabls de-
gree of perfection. This delusion the
company desires to dispel. 1t desires to
get into the head, of the public q clear
comprehension of the fact that 1t 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 says that the profits he has
received from the patents on all his
marvellous inventions have not been
sufficient to pay the cost Of his ex-
periments But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit of rubber
cord to child.s ball, go that it would
come back to the hand when thrown
made fortune out of his scheme. The
modern sewing machine is miracle
of ingenuity-the product of the toll
of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years, but the whole
brilliantres rests upon the simple
device of putting the eye of the needle
at the point instead of at the other end.

More American Corn Eaters.

Our government is spending
considerable money to convince
Europeans that from corn meal
can be prepared the most palatable
and wholesome dishes. This is
good work but perhaps not as i'm
portant, as to convert Uncle Sans
own subject to the gospel Of corn
eating. Noone could object ex-
cept the dentists, whose business
is helped by the almost universal
use Of white -four. Fine white
-four is the tooth-jerker's best
friend and ally.
Some one has said that pie and
civilization go haud in hand the
world round. We think the trinity
is really composed of pie, civili-
zation and dyspepsia. America
has the combination in all its
perfection. Many contend that the
use of pastry is the sure precursor
of dyspepsia, and principally be-
cause it is composed of fine white
flour.
Secretary Morton lassent Col.
Murphy to the Worlds Fair, and
authorized him to give his time
and experience in the organization
of e corn kitchen, undertaken by
the various corn states. Col Muir
phys crusade for corn meal has
made him unique character.
Corn meal in every form is a moss
delicious food, if it be properly
cooked. Herein lies the difficulty.
The writer has ordered fried corn
meal mush in the leading hotels of
nearly every important city in the
United States, and never yet has q
satisfactory article been furnished
while in his own home the savory
dish appears on his table several
times a week, prepared often by
inexperienced cooks with only
little training.
More corn meal food means bet
ter health, more and better teeth
and incomparably cheaper meals
for the American people.

A Safeguard Against Breaking
Down.

New York Ledger.
This is a season IF the year
when many people "break down, +"
as the saying is. Feelings of
irresistible languor overtake them.
They are tired out all the time.
They are feverish and sleepy and
irritable, and finally their strength
gives way and they are prostrated
with sickness.
One of the best safeguards
against this downward tendency is
a plenty Of sleep. And the sleep
in order that it.may have its full
effect as sstired natures sweet
restorer,' 2 should be taken at
reasonable hours. 1t is an old ad-
age that zone hours sleep before
midnight is worth two after it."
