Patents
Notice to Inventors,

There was never time in the history Of
our country when the demand for Inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The con-
veniences of mankind IN the factory and
work shop, the household on the farm, and
in official life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenancesa and implements to each
in order TO saye labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
of government does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who beng ON the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of
government to deter him from quickly con.
ceiying the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing a competent and skill
full attorney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent Valuable interests
haye been lost and destroyed in lnnumerable
instances by the employment of incompe-
applicable to those who adopt the "No pat.
ent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys do
30 at imminent risk, as the breadth and
strength of the patent is never considered in
view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance
and obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS
CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn.
General Manager. 61s F street, N. w., Wash
ington, D. c., representing large number
of important daily and weekly papers. as
well as general periodicals of the country,
was instituted to protect its patrons from
the unsafe methods heretofore employed in
this line of business. The said Company is
prepared to take charge of all patent business
entrusted to 1t for reasonable fees, and pre-
pares and prosecutes applications generally,
including mechanical Inventions design pat
erts, trade marks labels, copyrights, inter.
ferences, infringements, validity reports, and
gives especial attention to rejected cases.

No Blanks in this Competition.

I'D 1lHN AS lAB tusS oVuhpOpAsAvAAe
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 risklng the loss OF their
labor and the successful one merely selling
i his for W 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 advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose com.
petitive plan for club house on a certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
,methng of very little use to him But the
erson who patents a simple and useful de.
rice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
t,tion, need not worry if he fail to secure the
prize. He has substantial result to show
for his work-One that will command its val.
ue 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 it only from the theoretical point Of
view. Get rid of the rid of the fdea that an
Improvement can be too SIMPLE to be worth
patenting TIE simbler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's twenty FIVE hundred dol
lars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.

Small BEGINNINGS

Make great endings sometimes. Ailments that
we are apt to consider trivial often grow ,hrough
neglect, into atrocious malsdies, dangerous in
themselves and productive Of others. 1t is the
disregard of the earlier indications of Ill health
which leads to the establishment Of all sorts Of
maladies on chronic basis. Moreover, there
are certain disorders incident to the season, such
as malaria and rheumatism, against which 1t is
always desirable to fortify the system after ex-
posure to the conditions which produce them.
