Stiff Joints

r Stiffness of the joints of the fingers
or arms or legs can be cured better in
warm weather than in the winter. Cold
weather seems to make the trouble
worse. Begin now to rub the stiff
joints with Omega Oil. 1t will sup
ply the lubricant that is needed and
remove the soreness and inflamma-
ton. Besides rubbing plenty of the
Oil on, put some of it on cotton, and
bind it over the joints during the night
while you sleep. That's the way to get
well.
A member of the firm of G. s. Cheney
& Co., Is Union ST., Boston, relates that
a well-known contractor of Somervillc,
Mass, with whom he is acquainted, had
a stiff finger, which he could not bend
for some years. \ single application of
Omega Oil took all the stiffness out of
his finger in three hours. 72O

RECENT INVENTIONS.
NOTES SUPPLIED BY A SPECIAL
CORRESPONDENT AT U. S.
PATENT OFFICE.

What not to Patent--DOn't Invent
limitations of Nature--RaiIway
Appliances.
The law which created the Inter
state Commerce Commission gave 1t
the supervision of the carriage
charges made by railway in order to
break up the practice then common
with trunk lines of charging less for
long haul than for a short haul
especially when the passenger thus
Accommodated was heavy shipper OF
freight. To this function of the
commission has since been added
other duties, one of which is to en-
force the law providing that all rail
roads shall equip their cars with
automatic car couplers-a law which
was intended to put a stop to the
killing and manning of more railroad
employees per year than were ever
killed in any single battle of the Civil
War. But capital is mighty, and the
Interstate commerce commission is
only human. For several years now
they have listened to the plants of
railway magnates and have repeatedly
extended the time limit before which
all cars should be thus equipped.
The matter is now being agitated
once more and further extension will
probably be granted. Meanwhile
inventors who are ignorant of the
powerful boycott the combined rail-
roads have placed on all patented
devices, have been straining every |
energy to produce the typical car
coupling which shall meet the long
felt want Of Utopia. Unfortunately |
also the Patent Office has exercised |
most liberal policy towards this line
of inventions, and every idea which |
contained the least novel feature was
permitted to be patented. The re-
suit is that there are thousands of car
patents more or less worth
less and substantially all unmarket-
able. Reader, if you have any inven-
tive genius, don't waste it in fruitless
efforts along this line; and if you
have any idle money, put it into any
old boom town speculation before
you part with it to promoters of car
patents.

"BEFORE BABY is BORN"
A Valuable Little Book of Interest to
All Women Sent Free.

Every woman looks forward with
feelings of indescribable joy to the
one event in her life, compared with
which all others pale into insignifc-
ance. How proud and happy she
will be when her precious babe nestles
on her breast-how sweet the name
of "Mother." And yet her happy
anticipation is clouded with dread of
the pain and danger of the ordeal, so
thatit is impossible to avoid the feel
ing of constant fear. The danger
and suffering attendant upon being a
mother can be entirely prevented, SO
that the coming of, the little stranger
need not be looked forward to with
fear and trembling. Every woman
who reads this paper can obtain alb
solutely free q valuable and. attrac-
tive little book entitled Before Baby
is Born" by sending her name and
address to the Bradfeld Regulator
Co., Atlanta, Ga This book contains
priceless information to all women,
and no one should fail to send for il.

rVARCH AND THE LION.
Something Better Than the Old Saw.

The saying about the lion and the
lamb in March often proves false,
but there is another and better zone
which is literally true, When March
comes in and finds you taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla to purify, enrich and
vitalize your blood, you may expect,
when it goes out, that it will leave
you free from that tired feeling and
with none Of the boils, pimples and
eruptions which manifest themselves
because Of impure blood in the spring.
If you have not already begun taking
Hoods sarsapariIia for your spring
medicine, we advise you to begin
today. We assure you it will make
you feel better all through the
coming summer.
Morris tribune., 1900-03-31

''Never quit certainty for hope"
Never take medicine of doubtful
value instead Of Hoods. sarsaparilla
which is sure to do you good.
Morris tribune., 1900-03-31

Every day our eye is greeted in the
newspapers by scant description of
some new and wonderful invention,
the details of which the inventor
refuses to reveal because he says 1.-The
patent is still pending" 1t is we'll
known to those familiar with the
practice that it is an absurdity to
think anyone can steal an ideal after
the application for patent has bsen
fled in the Patent Office. No one
but the interested parties are allowed
to see the papers, all facts concern
ing an application are kept secret by
the Government. A recent expert
menter in milk proposes to reduce 1t
to power, by a process which is now
being patented in all countries and
which will undoubtedly prove of great
value if it is a success. It remains to
he seen how it will be received by the
dairy community at large, and we
may judge that it will not be looked
upon with much favor. If the price
is within the reach of all consumers
and equal to or less than the present
rate of such commodity, it is quite
possible it may soon become one of
the staple articles of the worlds diet

oRDs OF THE CLUBS.
The season OF championship cricket in New-York
was brought to a close Saturday when the New
York Cricket Association ended it's year. The game
played proved fitting wind up to a season full Of
surprises and indicated the glorious uncertainty of
the game There Is little doubt, however, that the
championship pennant went TO the right club for
the Paterson men. 20 whom the trophy belongs.
exhibited good form in all their matches. Many
OF the league clubs could be taught useful lesson
in fielding by the Paterson players. who exceled
in this much neglected part of the game. and they
owe than victory their expertness in
the field. which always kept down their opponents
scores.
One OF the features OF the season the close
contest between Brooklyn and Kings County for
second place. On paper the former club had much
the better team. but the Kings County men sur
passed their record by small margin. and to show
that their position warranted defeated their
rivals on two occasions All the teams in the asso-
citation showed good form at times and the games
were contested in keener spirit and with more vim
and dash than ever before A single exception might
be made to this in the OF the Manhattan
second eleven which exhibited little inclination or
ambition to win and generally turned up at games
away from home with shorthanded teams. The
