Mechanical Devices DO Away Win Need
OF Manual Treatment.

Hand massage being extensively in
volving the employment of one adept in
the art, the attention of inventors was di-
rected TO the employment Of some me
chanical means by which the same object
could be accomplished. Several designs
of Vibratory apparatus have recently been
placed on the market. The first inno-
vatiOns OF this character were bulky de-
vices which were not only expensive. but
took mp much floor space and were exc
ceedingly difficult to handle Recently.
however several small hand devices
have been introduced by which Il is
possible for a person TO administer self
treatment
II Is claimed for one Of these instru-
ments which is just being placed on the
market that IL has efficiency apidity
and adapiahility beyond the scope Of the
professional masseur and is said TO have
many advantage not possessed by hand
massage Il is operated by being con-
nected TO an ordinary lamp socket, and
That portion of the instrument by which
the vibratory motion is generated con-
sists OF q metal device not unlike a hair
brush in shape, which is supplied at one
end with a cup-shaped rubber device
which not only revolyes very rapidly. but
vibrates 40 n corresponding speed. IL is
easily regulated and can be adjusted up TO
q speed OF 10000 vibrations a minute.
IL is a simple matter to apply this device
to the face OF any part of the body with
out the assistance of "a second person.
This treatment is said to be invaluable for
the complexion, is said TO eradicate
wrinkles, fills the sunken parts of the face
remedies llabby chins and cheeks by
natural methods. 10 enables the outer
cuticle TO divest itself Of extraneous
particles and cures and prevents many of
the little blemishes of the face and flesh
It's application TO the scalp is said to be
very invigomting.
Another device of this character is
built on somewhat the same lines II is
quite simple in its construction, and the
head of the machine is supplied with
eight different devices, which are inter
changeable and can be used for different
purposes. These equipments consist Of
soft rubber facial cup, hard rubber curved
electrode, hard rubber disk for abdominal
use, soft rubber cup for eye treatment.
hard rubber spinal electrode, hard rubber
ear electrode and other devices for special
use.
This apparatus can be worked either
from a direct or alternating electric cur
rent. IL weighs p ounces, has electrical
connection 9 feet long and a rubber spring
handle. It combines the stroSing knead-
ing and vibrating movements all in one
and gives 5000 vibrations per minute.
The rate Of speed is regulated by a single
adjusting device.

Public OFFICIALS and the Press.

Even in these days of widely-read news
papers there are many public officials who
resent as personal impertincnce the efforts
of newspaper reporters TO ascertain their
official intentions and official acts, for the
purpose Of laying them before the public.
IL is hand for such officials TO realize
that the reporters are not actuated by any
personal curiosity in their inquiries into
public affairs They are simply working
for the people. The latter have a dsep
interest in the detail Of government. as the
cost thereof comes out of their pockets.
The only manner in which they may be-
come informed is by reading the reports
OF public business as they are printed in
the newspapers, and these reports are
obtained BY the reporters
The officials who attempt to ignore tho
reporters, therefore, are at the same time
attempting to ignore the people-their
employers and those 10 whom they must
look for a continuance in their positions.
There are some officials in nearly every
community who would do well to bear this
fact in mind.
