T\HE vogue of Early Ameri-
can is well established
- today because it is admir-
ably suited to many houses and
apartments in the city as well as
undeniably desirable for the New
England type of small house
which appears in suburbs and the
country. It's popularity continues
to grow because the same calico
and chintz patterns which were
used by our grandmothers have
been revived and are re-made to-
day; brass, pewter and glass in
Colonial styles abound in the
better class shops and hooked
rugs handmade or cleverly turned
out by the machine "hands" of
modern industry are available.
The walls may be painted in
warm yellow, faded rose, a green
ash gray, biscuit or peach. Or if
wall paper is used the chintz pat
terms in paper are especially suit
able. Their bowknots and rose
buds, or the honey marguerites
and peoples make a most suitable
background for maple furniture.
Other papers which are well
coined in the Early American
bedroom are the more simple pas
toral landscape patterns, and the

Do You Know
What's Inside
Your Mattress?

a SARDINE can, or an old
~ coat? The remains of an
Il - old mattress rescued from
the dump heap without even the
most perfunctory sterilizing pro-
\ cess and put in a nice new mat
tress cover?
Sordid facts, but true. A book
could be written on what the
health departments of several
states discovered when they in
vestigated bedding factories un-
scrupulously managed!
But now-you may thank your
lucky stars-if you sleep on a
Beautyrest Mattress, or indeed,
on any mattress made by the
Simmons Company, you know
you have the best. You know that
the name Simmons" means
"made by the worlds largest
manufacturers of beds, springs
and mattresses" that every detail
of manufacture from the selec-
ton of raw materials to the final
exquisite finishing is subjected to
careful scientific tests and to in
spection.

The Life History of the Beautyrest
How the Worlds Most Comfortable
Mattress is Made

Each coil acts independently, In
surfing a superb resiliency.
Hundreds of these pocketed
coils are placed close together and
upholstered with deep layers Of
upholstery-sterilized cotton lin
tiers felted. The coils are stitched
to the upholstery of the sides
so they won't crush or break!.
Two ventilators are put in each
side so each time you move you
force air through them which
helps keep your mattress sweet
and clean.
AS a Simmons innovation the
Beautyrest is covered in delight
full damask; a medallion pattern
in sea-foam green, Venetian blue
and beige; an all-over pattern in
rose, light blue and lilac. The
sides are stitched and edges taped
giving Beautyrest a trim, boxed
appearance.

on this hooked or braided rugs
are laid. There must be the es-

a corner cupboard as well. There
may be a dresser or dressing

window draperies.

We need besides these pieces
two or three rush seat chairs
and perhaps a footstool or hutch.
Then the spool or poster bed
or a pair of beds-complete the
room. The smaller things such as
lamps and lampshades and chair
cushions should continue the
theme of decoration.
The bed covering is either a
woven coverlid in the familiar
blue, white and brick-red color

a cover made of the same fabric
as the window draperies and
trimmed with contrasting color.

of finding a lovely old sampler, a

Weak nerves, said New York

Besides making the sweetest dis
position sour and irritable, nervous
ness is terrible drain on your vital
forces-it saps your youth and your
strength and dulls your beauty.
What a difference from the bright
eyed, vibrant girl he married. No
wonder married life seems unbear-
able,
But you can get rid of your ner-
vousness-speedily too-and become
the steady-nerved, radiant woman
you once were. Try the effect of
Tanlac after meals anc before going
to bed, and if it doesn' t soon make
new woman of you-docsn' rid
you of that tired, strained feeling
go back and get your money.
Go to your druggist now and get
bottle of Tanlac. Millions of folks
have started back on the road to
youth, health and happiness with
this world famous tonic and there is
no reason why you, too, can't begin
today to rebuild your worn-out
tissues and revitalize your entire
