The Kurnfy Krib
Combines Bassinet,
Crib and Play Pen

The Kumfy Krib is easily
accessible as a Bassinet, as
the spring may be raised in an
instant to bassinet position,
and can be trimmed if desired
to match the decorations of
the room. With the spring up
and the side dropped the baby
is even with the mothers bed
at night without bending over.
The patent self-acting device
for raising and lowering
spring is instantly automatic,
reliable and safe.
As a Krib for the baby when
a little older and likes to
climb out of the bed, the
springs can be used low, and
the crib cannot be tipped over,
and there are no hooks or
irons inside to injure the ba-
by. Fourteen mesh rustless
wire screening is used
throughout for paneling the
sides Of the crib. Every crib
has full 3-inch mattress, made
of art ticking, hygienic springs
and net cover, stationary and
swivel g. in. rubber tired
wheels, enameled white.
The Krib makes an ideal
play pen for baby, for no harm
can come to him inside the
strong walls, where he can
crawl about and play protect
ed from insects. The height
of the springs and the soft
mattress protect the baby
from the draughts near the
floor in winter and keep the
busy little hands out of mis-
chief.
The Krib may be folded in
stantly to a width of eight
inches and put away, if de-
sired, when not in use.
1t Is beautifully finished in
pure white enamel, including
entire wheel equipment, and
comes in two sizes, $1,000 and
$500 each.

LIBERTY LOAN
INTEREST RATE

Secretary McAdoo has definitely an
nounced that the Fourth Liberty Loan
bonds will bear Az per cent. He
points out that q raise in the rate Of
interest of only one-fourth Of l per
cent on 10000, 600, 900 of Government
bonds would mean an annual increase
of $25 100000 in interest charges, and
that this money would have to be
raised by increased taxation and paid
by the people of the country. 1t would
not be paid by one class only, because
there are consumption as we'll as other
kinds of taxes, and the consumption
taxes reach every class Of people.
"As an intelligent people," said Sec
retary McAdoo during the Third Lib
erty Loan campaign, 1--WE should now
make stand for the financing Of our
Government during the period Of this
war at a stabilized rate of interest,
say at Az per cent per annum, so that
all business and all investments may
be adjusted TO that basis, and so that
we ourselves may protect ourselves
against successfully increased rates Of
interest on Government loans"
Neither our patriotism nor our sup
port of the Liberty Loans are meas
ured in fractions of per cent.
