 made particularly good Christmas presents, 

 especially for the younger members of 

 the family, combining four eminently 

 desirable qualities in Christmas gifts, 

 namely, timeliness, usefulness, health- 

 iulness and acceptability. Accordingly, 

 me manufacturer after another began 

 111 pack children's rubber boots in fancy 

 Christmas boxes ornamented with holly 

 sprigs, etc.. and the sale of these Christ- 

 mas b.ixes of rubber boots thoroughly 

 justilicd the belief of their appropriate- 

 ness for Christmas-time.

 pealing to the Santa Claus trade. It i:

NEW HYGEIA INVENTIONS. 



Rubber nipples for babies' nursing bottles constitute quite an 

 item in the animal sales of manufacturers of druggists' sundries, 

 the demand being constant and regular. Hitherto the nipple has 

 been the only part of the bottle to be made of rub- 

 ber, but here is a new nursing bottle, the "Hygeia 

 Cozy," the food receptacle of which is a collapsible 

 rubber bag. This rubber food receptacle is sur- 

 rcnmded and supported by an aluminum jacket - 

 "pen at the bottom for purposes of ventilation- 

 liich also gives support to the breast nipple, an- 

 'licr new nursing device brought out by the same 

 i iiiufacturers. 



I here is a hidden shield in the dome of 

 H breast nipple, about its base, which 

 likes it non-collapsible while freely 

 1' Iding in all directions. It also has a 

 >rt neck, which prevents the child from 

 I ^ •• complishing what seems to be a baby's

 Ill- III I'l' in.l the rubber nursing bag — which can be 

 turiinl luMili uut for cleaning— in combination, form an 

 innovation in nursing bottles and leave no excuse for 

 lack of perfect sanitation in the matter of the baby's 

 food supplies. (Hygeia Nursing Bottle Co., Buffalo,

PROTECTING THE CRICKETERS KNUCKLES. 



To be sure, the game of cricket does not enjoy the same vogue 

 in the United States as baseball does, for instance, but still there 

 are a great many cricket players in this 

 they want the same' sort of equipment 

 that the cricket players of England find 

 indispensable. As a part of this equip- 

 ment, the batting glove might be men- 

 tioned. This is made of white duck with 

 elastic bands attached to the back of the 

 glove and going around the wrist to in- 

 sure a good tit. and having in addition 

 rubber tubes running along the fingers 

 and over the knuckles at the back nf tlie 

 .glove to protect the hand from the occa- 

 sional impact of the ball ; for the cricket 

 ball it must be remembered is a fairly 

 hard commodity and to have it shot agai 

 knuckles produces a sensation by no meai 

 batting glove obviates any such contingencv 



the unprotecte< 

 agreeable. Thi: 



Another highly desirable feature in the cricketer's equipment is 

 I bat with an inserted layer of rubber through the entire length 

 >f the handle. The handle is split in the middle, a layer of 

 ublur put in, then the whole wound with cord. This in- 

 sert of rubber .serves the excellent pur- 

 of taking the sting out of the blow 

 n the hat strikes the ball too near 

 handle or too near the end— some- 

 liing that is always liable to occur.
