The railroad executive said the i could never attain sound financial health and well- being until it became a part of the nation's traditional free competitive economy through relaxation of restrictive outmoded government regulations." He held that "no business can survive under the competitive system if the laws of economics are supplanted by restrictive regulation." said that the railroads stood alone in" the area of regulation. No other business is tell the truth even when it serves their own purposes."

Science Proves Sounder Sleep BEAUTYREST Over a period of 11 years, people like you went to sleep in the laboratory sleep rooms of the United States Testing Co. Sensitive electronic equipment made 60,000,000 recordings of their heartbeats, brain waves, muscular tension, skin temperatures. Leading types of mattresses were rotated through the sleep rooms. This scientific research proved that Beautyrest, made only by Simmons, gave longer periods of sounder, deeper, unbroken sleep than any other mattress. The unique construction of Beauty- restis responsible for this result.

Ordinary mattress springs are joined together and sag together as shown by the famous water- glass demonstration. The 837 Beautyrest springs arc inde- pendent of each other. They givb body-fitting comfort and proper, 1 healthful support from head to' toe.
