A GREAT PATENT.
A Birmingham Lady Has Solved the Mystery of Making Window Clear ing Day a Pastime Instead of
 an Arduous Task.

For years architects, builders and oth- CTS have taxed their brain in futile ef- fort to solve the question of cleaning win dows with safety to the person perform ing this duty. -That the task is an ardu- ous one the housewife will verify, and that 1t is an absolutely dangerous one can be proven by any one attempting to remove the dirt from the outside of a window on the second or third floor of a building.
 The difficult feat has at last been rob bed of it's danger, and instead of a task window cleaning in future will prove a mere pastime. The following from the Scientific American. the recognized gov ernment authority on patents, tells how it will be done:
 "Window-Mary West, Birmingham, Ala. This inventor, a daughter of ex- Gov. W. H. Smith, of Alabama has de- vised an improvement in windows ac- cording to which the saShes may be ad- justed vertically and axially on horiz9n- tai pivot, In the casing are vertical slots in which are movable bolts to which the sash are pivotaf1y connected, weighted chains being also connected to the bolts, and a locking cleat, slidable on the sash being capable of engaging the easement to hold the. sash from rotation. A block fiexib1y connected with the sash is capa- bic of engaging~the locking cleat to hold it in position"
 Mrs. West, as the article states, is a Birmingham lady, one of whom the city is proud. Tn her fertile brain she con- ceived the means of Tightening her own and her sister woman's burden and her ideas have been accepted and her for tune is assured. Mrs. West has, so it is understood, already been offered flat tering price for her patent, but the offer was respectfully declined.
 That woman is fast outstripping man in ingenuity the above is verification. Mrs. West is to be congratulated on her success.

There is comfort in tie knowledge. .hat so many forn,s of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, out simply to constipated condi. tion of the system. which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs prompt- ly removes.

Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without facilitating the organs on which 1t acts. 1t is therefore all important, in order to get it's bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase. that you have the genuine arti- cle, which IS manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
