The rubber baby rattle interests the infant. The rnbher ball interests the small boy. The rubljor balloon interests the little girl. A rubber sling shot is a joy to the lmnrt r>f ? !??' : ' ....... ... .? . milM/UI IS 1)1 a groat, practical use as well as a source of childish pleasure. That little rubher tip on your pencil end is of great use to you daily. A rubber tire on on a lover's buggy adds ,. a hundred per cent, to the joys of | a ride with his best girl. The rubber springs on a Pullman car add a hundred per cent, to the comfort, of a journey by rail. Rublxr overshoes and a rubber coat givo a man thorough protection in a driving rain.

A hot . brick would do some good, but it is , hard to handle. A man drops a .hot brick. A rubber hot water lx>ttle is not hard to handle. Moreover, it lies elose to the hurt, and so persuades the pain to get out.
