comfort should be the first consideration.
1t is quite possible for boys and even girls
to make deep and coy armchairs from bar
re!s; it is not so difficult as 1t appears. To
make one of these, get a strong barrel and
saw away the slaves from the front portion
of what will be the chair and arms, leaving
the rest for the back. Then bore holes at
the top of the sawed off part, which is to
form the seat. and pass very small manila
rope or plano wire back and forth to make
a solid foundation of the springs. Then
fasten in strongly strips of the carpet-lke
straps made for the purpose. These when
sol:dly fastened, give foundation to sew
the springs 10. When as many springs as
one wants are put on lay more straps over
them and fasten them. After this make a
sort of quilt of some strong stun and stuff

over it. This Is firmly nailed over the side

are under orders to refrain from all
save the most cautious comment on
recent occurrences and they do not
print any details beyond the official
reports, holding that as they are not
permitted to print the truth fully and
freely they will print nothing further.

open attack on the censorship, which
it declares to be inadvisable and An

Some Americans and Englishmen and
many Germans, who are obliged to re-

says Mrs. Cora Walker of Pofterville,
California. There is no doubt about it
being the best. No other will cure a
cold so quickly. No other is so sure a

good reasons why it should be pro-

few people are satisfied with any other
