BRITISH PERSONNEL The need for new Volunteer Headquarters is appreciated in official quarters, not only on ac count of the inadequacy of garage, storage accommodation and drill ceremonial parade grounds, but on account of the absence of re- creational amenties, so destiable for the well-being of a Volunteer unit.

"The value of these amenities as an encouragement to recruiting is considerable and fully recognised," says the G.O.C.'s report, which. adds that the matter is now in hand.

MATTRESS.

The healthiest mattress ever made

It is made from cellular LATEX, a sponge-like material of light weight and extraordinary resilience, yielding in any direction to the slightest pressure and resuming its normal shape the instant that pressure is removed.

It never needs punching or shaking and its special construction also makes turning unnecessary.

The expense of periodic re-makings which ordinary mattresses involve is entirely eliminated, as it has no paddings or springs which require attention.
