PNinrMATIC BATTER'S HEAD PROTECTOR. 



The article shown in the cut herewith has been adopted in 

 use by very many baseball players, including professionals of 

 note. So many batters have been put out of the game by being 

 _ struck in the head by pitched balls 



as to cause a demand for protection 

 for the batter, which has led to the 

 designing of the Pneumatic protector. 

 This article is so designed as to pro- 

 tect every part of the head that is 

 liable to injuries. Our feature of its 

 construction is that it is supplied 

 especially for either right or left hand 

 batters. The article retails at $5.

THE "YALE" ATOMIZER. 



A NEW line of atomizers, adapted 

 for spraying oil or water, is the 

 '"Yale," the distinctive features of 

 which are well indicated in the accom- 

 panying cut. The chief point of differ- 

 ence as compared with other instru- 

 ments of the kind is the pump which 



is used, instead of a rubber bulb, to 



^ ~~~> ^^J«--' furnish the pressure necessary for 



1— atomjzation. This hand pump is re- 



ferred to as being readily operated 

 and as capable of affording a stronger 

 pressure than in types of atomizers used hitherto. The tubes and

MANDEVILLE STEERING WHEEL MUFF. 



The muff shown in this cut should become very popular with 

 chauffeurs and motorists, particularly those who go out in cold 

 or inclment weather. This muff is a leather fur-lined covering 

 for the steering wheel, large 

 enough to permit the same free- 

 dom in handling the wheel that 

 one would have without it. K\. 

 the post is a split ring which holds 

 the muff in place, while running 

 through it from the ring is a 

 spring which shapes it in position 

 so as not to interfere with the 

 controls and which holds it up 

 against the body. The muff pro- 

 tects the lap of the driver from 

 the storm, keeps the hands warm 

 and dry, and prevents cold winds 

 from going up his sleeves. For 

 summer use a lighter weight muff 

 is supplied, made of rubber, and 

 which is rain and wind oroof

"SPECIAL" RUBBER DAM CLAMP. 



A NEW article for use in dental practice and designed by Dr. 

 G. V. Black, is the rubber dam clamp illustrated herewith, and 

 which has been designed for use in special situations — that is, 



on third molars and in certain 

 cavities difficult to treat. One 

 of the essential features of this 

 clamp is its very strong spring. 

 It is referred to as staying where 

 it is put when once in position 

 on a tooth, the strong spring be- 

 ing better than a weak one, particularly if the clamp must have 

 some rough handling. The strength of the spring does not 

 hurt the tooth if the clamp be put on and taken off carefully. 

 This form is made in right and left shapes. [The S. S. White 

 Dental Manufacturing Co., Philadelphia.] 



THE "EVERSTICK" FOOTHOLD. 



The line of "Everstick" rubber footwear, a distinctive feature 

 of which is the giving of adequate protection from moisture 

 without covering any more of the leather shoe than is absolutely 

 necessary, has been extended 

 through the introduction of a ' 



foothold, manufactured under the 

 same patents. These footholds, 

 of course, are not intended for 

 use in stormy weather, but they 

 are adapted particularly for days 

 when it is uncertain whether it 

 will rain, since they can be car- 

 ried in small space, say in a 

 woman's shopping bag, and if they 

 should be needed during an outing 

 they combine neatness, practical

invisibility, and protection. They do not rob a gracefully formed 

 foot of its attractiveness, and there is no discomfort in wearing 

 them. The Everstick foothold is made in different toes and in 

 three colors — black, white and tan. These goods are supplied 

 in handsome rubber lined pouches — one for each pair. The pat- 

 ents are controlled by The Adams & Ford Co., Cleveland, Ohio.

so much in one position. It is with this object in view that the 

 penholder shown in the illustration has been introduced on the 

 market. The illustration indicates the position and the relative 

 length of the rubber attachment. It is a particularly soft and 

 yielding rubber, and so firmly attached that it is not likely 

 ever to get out of place. There is need for little descriptive 

 matter, but it may be added that the manufacturers use the 

 phrase in connection with this penholder that "the soft pneu- 

 matic tip prevents writers' cramp." [American Lead Pencil Co., 

 No. A\ West Fourth street. New York.]
