Tilt manicure maid, with lier trim array ot little jars and 

 bottles, may now be up-to-date with the latest instrument 

 for her assistance. It consists of a hard rul)ber tube, some- 

 thing like that used for fountain pens, provided with a hnllow 

 interior for liquids, a plunger 

 for operating, and a valve for 

 regulating the amount of liquid 

 let out through the opening at

The ordinary method of pro- 

 cedure is to wrap a small piece 

 of cotton around the tip of an 

 orange-wood stick, dip it in 

 the particular medicament, and 

 apply it to the cuticle at the 

 base of the finger-nail. To 

 keep this cotton moist it must be di])ped frequently into the 

 liquid or ointment and the amount taken up cannot be accurately 

 regulated. 



This device is intended to substitute the orange-wood stick and 

 facilitate the application of medicaments by providing means for 

 both controlling the flow and supplying them in regulated quan- 

 tities as needed.^United States patent No. 1,365,883, Martha V.

COMBINATION WINDOW WASHER AND DUSTER 



Housekeepers who have been worrying about the new law 

 which requires windows 

 to be cleaned by window- 

 cleaning men instead of

 delighted with the new 

 window washer and dust- 

 er which eliminates sit- 

 ting outside the window. 

 The washer is equipped 

 with a rubber squeegee 

 which cleans and dries the 

 window in a most satis- 

 l.ictory manner, working 

 on the outside while the 

 operator stands inside the 

 room. -Attaching a cloth 

 to the end makes a long- 

 handled duster for ceil- 

 ings, walls, floors and 

 corners. The adjustable joint in the pole makes it adaptable to 

 circumstances.— Perfect Window Washer & Duster Co., Inc.,
