BOARD OF TRADE
MEETS TOMORROW
Members Will be Asked to Decide as
to Agricultural Funds and En-
dOrse Realty Exchange

Two matters of Importance come
Lefore the Board of Trade at its regu-
lar meeting tomorrow night at eight
O'clock. Letters have been addressed
20 representative farmers and citizens
all over the county, asking that they
attend the meeting for the purpose of
deciding whether 1T is going to be
wise for Marion county, primarily an
agricultural county, to do away with
all agricultural demonstration and
extension work next year. The men,
bers of the commercial body, In addi-
ton to this, will be asked to give their
approval to the constitution and by
laws of the new Marion County Real
Estate Exchange.
Leading farmers are of the opinion
that it will be a serious mistake, and
step backwards, if there is no ap-
preparation made for agricultural
work in Marion county during the
coming year. The county commits
sioners at a recent meeting voted to
eliminate the agricultural items from
tie new budget.
The Marion County Real Estate Ex-
change has been organized for the
purpose of providing code by which
real estate men are to be guided in
the sale of properties. 1t is an effort
to protect the buyer and the seller of
zeal estate in this county. One pro-
vision, for example, is that every
member of the exchange must pay all
Of the required licenses. Other pro-
Visions are made to prevent property
from being offered for several differ
ent prices. 1t is the idea of the board
of governors of the trade body that
larties writing or calling at the Board
Of Trade in reference to real estate
snail be referred to the exchange.

VISIT the w. O. Broyles Furniture Company,
' 2O21-2O23 Third Avenue and see Mr.. Broyles'
clever invention which is attracting the attention
Of the entire furniture world

'For the last two hundred years" Mr..
Broyles continued, there has never been
an Improvement made in beds; the same
old four-posters have been used; people
who are nervous and cannot sleep have
had to resort to drugs medicines and all
such things, but the principle that | have
developed is scientific proposition work
ing on the same idea of the old negro
nanny Grooming her baby to sleep; the
hammock swinging lightly and lulling
the restless, nervous sleeper to sleep; the
cradle with the fond mother sitting by the
fireside with her knitting while with her
foot she touches lightly now and then the
little crib and rocks, the baby to sleep"
II have been asked why have not made
the bed a more ornamental piece of furni-
ture,o Mr.. Broyles said, lin brass, mahog-
any, oak and other materials, and frank
ly say because the white enamel metal bed
is the best, the most sanitary and the most
desirable. In many Of the hospitals in Bir-
n1ingham these beds are used and there
has always been the strongest recommen-
dalton given by physicians as we'll as pa
tients."
God bless the man who first invented
Sleep is not quite complete, for to this
aphorism might be added, "And God bless
the man who invented a bed which could
make restless sleepers sleep" for with
the world SO full Of nervous men and
women those who would give half their
fortunes for just the three hours 'rmbroken
rest which physicians declare is equal to
five hours of broken rest, an invention of
this sort comes as boon to humanity
blessing to the victim of merciless, nerve
racking, health-destroying insomnia.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1919-12-21

ICES this, and this wonderful bed which
Mr.. Broyles has invented relies upon this
principle for it's perfection.
The bed numbers six broken joints in it's
makeup" and it is on this theory that the
nervous person, i'll and suffering, who
can't stand even SO much as the touch OF
the fingers on the bed in which he is lying,
is protected from any nerve-racking shock
to the system which comes from children
romping about in the room awkward peo-
pie Earring against the bed, nurses unwit-
tingly striking the bed with their feet as
they administer medicines, and all the
other annoying things that happen in sick
room.
Il worked on my invention" Mr..
.Broyles told me, for long time before
perfected it. In fact, Imade the model for
scientific principle Of broken joints as
shock absorbers At last found just the
idea that had been looking for and which
eliminated in my invention which is now
being patented
s"The way became interested in the in
VonClOn WAS Through Ll0 Ill H0dlCH Ol lily
wife," Mr. Broyles continued, who was
a great sufferer from nerves: in fact, she
had become so nervous that she couldn't
sleep; she couldn't bear the sound of foot
steps in the room, and because she was
such pitiful victim of insomnia began
experimenting with all sorts of ideas with
which to cure this malady"
AT last ! arrived at the model which is
being manufactured right here in Birming-
ham," Mr.. Broyles said. Hundreds and
hundreds Of beds have been sold and |
have had only one complaint and that was
person who bought one Of the beds who
came back declaring he could never rest
in the old-fashioned kind again"
II have seen people who were the most
unhappy victims Of insomnia, Mr.. Broyles
said, buy one Of these beds and within
fortnight sleep as soundly as a baby.

All during the Christmas holidays l

And the inventor was our progressive

The invention to which / refer is

Bed, and Mr. Broyles has every reason to
be proud of this creation of his brain.
In the first place, let me tell you, that the
bed is built on scientific principles; it is a
bed within bed; the stationary bed has
the appearance Of the ordinary white en-
ameled bed-just about the same size as
the double bed, single bed, hospital bed, or
whatever size is required, and within the
four posts Of this bed another is swung.
This is also Of the white enamel metal and
swings slightly, giving that soothing, UNI
dulating motion that is boon to jagged
nerves, and blessing to the restless sleep

suffers from insomnia.

let's get at the principle upon which it is
built; scientists know that broken joints
are shock absorbers; the laymen also real

lied workers in history and that it
}had been conducted solidly n Loyalty,
peaceably and orderly and in this, he
believed, the railway men had given
an example to the world.
Rumors were current tonight that
Sir Eric Geddes minister Of transpo-
tation had resigned but accoding to
an authoized statement, the rumors
were unfounded. The conference of
trade unions, called for Tuesday, and
other arrangements contingent upon
continuance of the strike have been
abandoned but it is stated the organ
ization for the formation of citizens
guards will not be interfered with.
A Friendly Affair.
The conference in Downing street
was very friendly affair. All pres
ent seemed to anticipate a settlement
and after Premier Lloyd George had
explained the new terms he left the
delegates to discuss them. When the
luncheon hour arrived, the premier
suggested that ali stay instead of sep
arating. A raid was made on the
Downing street commissariat, and
finding it equal to the needs of the
lager party, a jovial meal followed,
the premier's secretary carrying the
joint and assisting in carrying it while
jokes flew around the table
The conference was then resumed
and at its conclusion Secretary
Thomas rose an addressing the pre-
mier said he could not allow the
momentous meeting to close without
expressing the appreciation of the
delegates at the statesmanlike and i'm
partial way the premier and Mr.. Bo-
mar Law had conducted the negotia-
tions and their patient consideration.
The prime minister acknowledged
she compliment in genial speech, adj
mitting that the delegates had met all
arguments in an open minded and con-
ciliatory manner. He expressed the
hope that all labor organizations
would approach questions concerning
their welfare in the same spirit; they
would then enter upon new era Of
industrial peace and prosperity.
