Why Doesnt Your Sleep Rest You HEN a man really rests, sleeping soundly all night, he wakes u_ with a new feeling of being alive—almost like being made over agzin.

The fact is that you do not sleep soundly—and, your bed had more to do with it than you realize, A creaky bed, a bed that sways, a spring that sags and lets you down into a hollow— puts your nerves on edge and makes your muscles tense. For deep, sound sleep you must have a bed that invites every nerve and muscle to relax. The Simmons Metal Bed is noiseless. A Simmons Spring is always resilient and restful — never That is why people sleep so much better in a Simmons Bed and Spring than in a wooden bed or ordinary metal bed. And that is why Simmons Company is specializing in Twin Beds. One sleeper does not disturb the other, or com- municate colds and other in- fections. e . e With the addition of Mat- tresses to their well-known Metal Beds and Springs, the Simmons line is the most popu- lar complete sleeping equipment in America today—built for sleep. Sold in the stores of leading merchants all over this section. Your choice of very beauti- ful designs in Enameled Steel and Lacquered Brass—at prices little if any higher than for ordinary beds.
