Do you wake/up with a smile—with nerves relaxed from hours of restful sleep? There is nothing like sound sleep for making one vitally alive. Nothing so saps the energy as restless, fitful slumber. A mattress in constant use will flatten out. Gradually the hair or felt inside loses its springiness. No longer does it properly cushion the body’s curves. At little cost the buoyancy of an old mattress can be restored. Why not make this test today? Send a mattress to our factory, where it will be subjected to 230 degrees of heat in an electric oven. Any lurking germs vull be destroyed. Then the hair or felt will be taken out and cleaned —its springiness restored. .The clean, sterile felt or hair is then put into attractive new ticking. After one night’s sleep, you will pronounce it the most restful mattress you ever owned. The work requires only one day and the cost is only 84 to $9. At the same time we make a new mattress Ifl" old one, let us renovate your box springs pillows, too.

Rear Admiral George C. Day, the third member of the Naval General Board to testify, yesterday spoke in fa- vor of selecting Camp Kearny, near San Diego, Calif., as the base from which naval dirigibles should operate on the ‘West_Coast. Appearing before the House naval committee, Admiral Day cogtended the southern site was preferable to one at Sunnyvale, near San Francisco, for both peace and war uses. Chairman Britten and other members of the committee questioned Admiral Day closely with regard to his conten- tions that Camp Kearny was not in & vulnerable position for an offshore at- tack by an enemy fleet. He held that while it was possible for an enemy ship to get within range of the site and out of range of the Guard guns at Point Loma, it was hardly possible for it to be effective. “In war time Camp Kearny would be preferable, because it would be 400 miles nearer the center of the area in which the center of npentlonl muht be ex- pected,” Admiral Day - “In fir ace time, Kearny wwld provide a lighter-than-air base that would be nearer the center of fleet o) ns. oth:peace'anst Har i would provide better weather conditions than a base near San PFrancisco Bay, where there is more fog and stronger win Admm!
