C. McIURTRIE CO., 1319 Arch St. A Perpetual Patent Under our patent laws exclusive rights to manufacture are granted only for a term of seven teen years. After that period, any one has the right to make and market the article. The original patentee often finds the good will that he has built up for his line jeopardized by a flood of tawdry and unworthy imitations. The public has no certain way of discriminating be tween brands if it fails to recognize the original satisfactory make. But when the article is trade-marked and adver tised before and after the expiration of the patent, competition is not an overwhelming calamity. The public continues to demand the "old reliable" by brand name. The patents on Stilson wrenches, aspirin and steering sleds have expired, but the original makers still control the bulk of the busi ness in those lines. Articles not patentable can be similarly pro tected. The trade-mark can be registered in the public mind. A monopoly of demand can be created through advertising, where a monopoly of manufacture is impossible. Butterick Publisher caf t Ml M tt ZfrjHZiOnia?

Soot left in the boiler hecomes saturated from the moiet air during the summer, releasing a sulphur product which is injurious to the metal of the heater due to its corrosive action. Soot is the most effectie non-conductor of heat known to sci ence. Soot in the heater flues means that you burn too much coal, because 'the hent generated by tho fuel is not properly absorbed by the heating surface of the boiler. ..,eu V Inspection and Repair A.
