Bed Foot-Rest and Warmer.

Miss Flora McPhee has entered the ranks of lady inventors as the author of an adjustable foot rest, which she believes will materially add to the

comfort of the occupant of a bed. The invention consists of a " Pillow block," which extends across the bed and is made to slide so that it may be adjusted to any position to suit the comfort of the user. It is possible to make the pillow block in the form of a receptacle for hot water, which can

be poured m through a plug at the top and withdrawn through a tap at the side. The invention m its ordinary form is said to be a great addition to comfort ; while if constructed as a foot warmer it should be particularly useful for sick persons.
