Our government is spending considerable money to convince Europeans that from corn meal can be prepared tho most palatable and wholesome dishes. This is j good work but perhaps not as im portant as to. convert .Uncle Sam's own subject to thegospol of corn eating. No one could object ex cept the dentists, whose business is helped by the almost universal use of white flour. Fine white flour is the tooth-jerkor's best friend and ally. Some one has said that pie and civilization go hand 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 la3 sent Col. Murphy to the World's Fair, and authorized him to give his time and experience in the organization of a corn kitchen, undertaken by the various corn states. Col Mur phy's crusade for corn meal has made him a unique character. Corn meal in every form is a most delicious food, if it be properly cooked. Herein lies the defficulty. 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 a satisfactory article been furnished while in his own home tho savory | dish appears on his table several timeB a week, prepared often by inexperienced cooks with only a little training. More oom 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 isa season </f the year) when many people "break down," as the saying is. Feelings of | irresistible languor overtake them. They are tired out all the lime. 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 "tired nature's. sweet restorer," should be taken at reasonable hours. It is an old ad age that "one hour's sleep before midnight is worth two after it." Backbone. There are certain animals that have no backbone. They cannot stand upright. The backbone en ables an animal to stand upright, and the better backbone it has the better it stands. There is very little use in standing upright even so strongly if not of use to help others in bearing some burden out side of their own bodies. When a burder* comes on an animal that has no backbone it crushes it. When it has a good backKone it strengthens it. We need not b6 anxious about burdens coming on those of good, strong principle, for] tho very burden will make them stronger, especially-if they carry] the whole matter in prayer- to God. < Paul did this with his burden and had God's grace given him until he could carry it. If you have a backbone do not be be afra'd of a burden. . They all Testify To tho Bfcaey .fib?

How to Get 2,500 Doters for Nothing. The Wilmer Has a Clear Gift of a Small Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents that may Bring i Them in Still more. Would you like to make twenty-live hundred dollars? If you would, read carefully what follows and you may see a way to do it. The Press Cams Company devotes much attention to patencs. It 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 couc try, needing nothing but encourage ment to produce pratical results. That encourgement 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 a natural genius, like Edison or Bell; that he must devote years to delving in complicated mecbancial problems and that he must spend a fortune on delicate experiments before he can get a new device to a patentable de gree of perfection. This delusion the company desires to dispel. It desires to get into the bead, of the public a clear comprehension of the fact that lt 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 Paten^Office. Edison says that the prouts he has received from the patents on all his marvelous inventions have not been sufficient to pay thc cost of his ex periments But tiieman who conceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber cord to achild(s ball, 30 that it would come back to the hand when thrown made a fortune out of his scheme. The modern sewing machine is a miracle of ingenuity-the produce of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through a hundred and fifty years, but the whole brilliant result rests upon the simple device of putting the eye of the needle at the point instead of at the other end. THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST VALU ABLE. Comparatively rew peopla regard themselves as inventors, but 'almost everybody has been struck, ? at 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. MWny 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 traveler. "If I were running the road I would make them in such a way." /What was the man that made this saucepan thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never had to work over a stove, or he would have known how it ought to have been fixed." "Bang such a collar button 1" growls the man who is late for breakfast "If I 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 a-:d begin to think of something else. If they would sit down at the next convenient opportuni.y, put their ideas about car windows, saucepans,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; who^patented^the.flfteen puzzla. (A TEMPTING OFFER j To induce?Tpeople to keep ftrack of their bright ideas and see what there is in them, the Press. Claims Company has resolved to offer a prize. To the person whs submits to it the simplest and most promising inven tion, from a commercial point of view, the company will give twenty-live hundred dollars in cash, addition to refunding the fees for securing the patent. It will also ^advertise the invention free of charge. This offer is subject to the following conditions i Every competitor must obtain a patent for his invention through thr company. He must first apply for a preliminary search, the cost of whicr (viii be five dollars. Should this searer show his invention to be unpatentab! tie can withdraw without further ex pense. Otherwise be will be expected to complete his application and take jut a patent in the regular wajf. The total expense, including Government ind Bureau fees,will be seventy dollars. For this, whether he secures the prize or not, the inventor will have a patent that ought to be a valuable property to him. The prize will be awarded by ijury consisting of three reputable patent attorneys of Washington. In rending competitors should fill out the following blank, and forward it with their application : "-,-, 1892. "I submit the (within described in vention in competition for the Twenty-five hundred Dollar Prize offered by the Press Claims Company. ?i_? NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION. This is a competition of rather an unusual nature. It is common to offer prizes for the best story, or picture, or irchitectural 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 Jlaims Company's offer is something ?ntirely different. Each person is isked merely to help himself, and the )ne who helps himself to the best ad- t vantage is to be rewarded for doing it. , rhe prize is only a stimulus to do ' something that would be well worth } loing without it. The architect whose competitive plan fora club house | on a certain corner is not accepted has spent his labor on something of very , little use to him. But the person who ' patents a simple and useful device in t the Press Claims Company's competi- 1 tion' need not worry if he fail to secure the prize. He has a substantial result to show for his work-one that will 1 command its value in the market at ( wy time. The plain man who uses any article t in his daily work ought to know bet ter how to jmprova it than the ( nechanizal expert who studies it only from the theoretical point of view. ^ Set rid of the idea that an improve- ' ment can be too simple to be wort h , patenting. The simpler the better. The J person who best succeeds in combining simplicity and popularity, will get tl e j Press Claims Compay's twenty-live mndred dollars. The responsibility of this company ' may be judged from the fact that its stock is neld by about three hundred ] jf the leading newspapers of the United States.

PATENTS, For Inventions Procured by the PRESS CLAIM COMPANY, Equal with the interest of tho6e having claims against the Gov ernment is that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit ef vulua ble inventions because of the incompetency or inattention of ibe at torneys employed to obtain their patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reliable solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not entirely,.upon the care and skill of the attorney. With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys, and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY has retained counsel, expert in patent practice, and is therefore prepared to Obtain Patents, Conduct Interferences, Make Special Examinations"I [Proeecute Rejected Cases, Register Trade-Marks . and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and Defend Infringement Suits, etc. If you have an invention on hand, send THE PRESS CLAIM* COMPANY a sketch or photograph thereof, together with a brief de scription of the important features, and you will at once be advisee as to the best course to pursue. Models are not necessarj unless the invention is of a complicated nature. If others are infring ing on your rights, or if you are charged with inuingement by others submit the matter to us for a reliable OPINION before acting on th matterj The Press Claims Company 618 F Street.
