spectacles, 'The lady doesn't remember back
past her years. Those pegs held the rope
lacing that supported the old feather ticks in
the days before people had bed-springs. But
the rope lacing made pretty poor sleeping. :,
"Soon folks hit upon the idea of coil springs
-crudely fashioned by mailing those funny
looking coils to slats-and tying them together
as best they could. It wasn't very depend
able job but it soas comfortable.
'When machine-made woven wire and link
springs came out, they were so much cheaper
that the old handmade coil almost disap-
peared-and with it went real comfort. But
I am glad to say that even this two-hundred-
year-old four-poster bed can now be made
more comfortable than ever with modern
Conscience Brand box spring-which is the
direct descendant of the old coil spring, the
first real step in comfort"
Do you know why box springs are so su-
premely comfortable? Do you know why doc
tors almost invariably recommend them? Do
YOU know why all the finest hotels insist On
fine box springs?

Chiiders. leading lieutenant OF canon
De Valera was received here shortly

prise to England. where II was be-
iieved the Free State authorities

The execution removes the most
important figure in the republican
n, ivement IN ireland next to Mr.. De
Valera. with whom Chsiders, n man
OF strcng personality. is generally
credited here with having had strong
influence.
To Chiiders Is ascribed perhaps the
leading part in engineering the pres.

as the military strateglst who planned
the operations. It was TO Childers

who is inspired by an equal

expressed in responsible quarters here
that the Free State authorities could

wish to do so in view OF the possible

The question which Immediately

was whether the Irish republicans
would attempt reprisals but 1t was
thought unlikely hat these would
have TO be reckoned with.
