as my official -representative,
turned to-day and his official

do not deem it decessary to di
upon the picture he draws. I h
not felt justified hitherto in a

people. The people of the St

up into the millions heve respo:
ed nobly and immediate suffer;
is being alleviated, but starvati
or pestilence will claim ma
thousand victims before the w;

supplemented by the charitable

shall be applied to the support <
those people so as t
enable them to rebuild the:
houses and take a new start in Iii

less than twenty thousand thu
destitute. Bread jalone for thes
storm sufferers will coast not les
than $75,000 between now an<

months will elapse before they cai
grow any. Medicines, bed-clothin{
anything that can be used in ?

We can JUiy these things with

Send all contributions of money

My efforts to relieve these un
fortunates are stimulated by the
feeliug that, being negroes, igno

More American Corn Eaters.
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. .

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
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
