The best ideas, the best materials, the best workmanship, cost more because (hey mean a better finished product, woven wire bed at $3 or $4 is more expensive in the end than a "Banner" Spring Bed at . $8-- because the "Banner" willoutwear half a dozen woven wire beds. "Banner" Spring Bed is the right idea, because steel spirals, properly made, form the only bed that will adjust itself to every curve of the body and at the same time, never "sag" or pull out of shape. \ Thé "'Banner" is made of the best steel spirals, which ¥ave been oil tempered like a sword blade. The quality of the steel, and the special process of tempering, give these spirals the st rength and springiness of a fencing rapier. Attaching the spirals to steel bands, which in turn are riveted to angle iron sides, insures the '*Banner" being both rigid and noiseless, and also enables it to fit metal beds without slats.

LLOYD.GEORGE IS SECOND MAN IN COUNTRY. He Has Made Rapid Advancement | ~--A Few Years Ago, Nation Would Have Stoned : Him. Mr. Lloyd-Georgeris now. the second man in the Liberal party, and thefre- fore, for the time being, in the coun- | try. He was, of course, predestined for promotion. Among many success- ful Ministers he has been the most successful. In the past two years he has raised | the highest level of prominence and utility. He has averted great industrial conflicts ; he has passed some bold and and solved problems, such, for exam- ple, as the Port of London problem, that his predecessors found insoluble; he has shown himself to be beyond comparison, the business man of the Cabinet. The nation that only a few years ago was ready to stone him now rea- lizes that it has possessed in the Presi- dent of the Board of Trade an asset of the first value. Everyone likes him; everyone trusts him. His union of a warm nature with a hard head has bronght him the affectionate confi- dence of the eountry. He is the Min- isterial handyman. . When it is known that Mr. Lloyd-George has taken up a question people cease to worry about it. Tt has come to be almost an arti- ele of faith with the masses and in the world of business that he cannot fail Even, however, about Mr. Lloyd- George opinion is not quite unani- mous. The Spectator's measured voice has broken the chorus of approval That admirable organ is a little nerv- ous about Mr. Lloyd-George. It finds him restless, unstable, too much of a politician, too little of a statesman, secretive, with: no "judicial aloof- ness," flighty and irresponsible in the charming Celtic way, liable at any moment to kick over the traces, and not "orthodox" on' the question Free Trade. And in part The Specta- tor is right. Mr. Lloyd-George is a Welshman He is as Welsh as O'Connell was Irish. One would have to go back to the days of Owen Glendower to dis: cover a leader who has won to an fqual degree the enthusiasm that Mr Lloyd-George commands among his warm-hearted and impressionable countrymen. On all questions of do- of the Principality Gallant little Wales has in him a gallant little champion--but a champion who does not hesitate to go against the convie- tions of his followers when he thinks it right, He did so during the Boer war. He made himself the most intensely hated of all pro-Boers. But we are not a resentful people, and we admire ecour- age. When men think to-day of the war and of Mr. Lloyd-George's con- nection with it, they think of a man who may have been misguided, wrong- headed, mischievous even, but who had, at any rate, the supreme politi- cal courage to stake his eareer on his conscience. The ordeal of those ex- citing years did much to mature his powers. He developed into a brilliant Parliamentarian. Humor, passion, sincerity, the quick-moving mind of the Celt, and a genuine gift for clear, fresh exposition made him at times more than a match for Mr. Chamber- lain himself. The Education Bill of 1902 gave him yet ampler scope for pungent attack. As a Welshman and a Nonconformist it bitterly offended him, and he threw himself upon it with a dash and vehe- mence that thrilled his countrymen with something 'of the fervor of a religious revival. When the Tariff Reform movement was launched, Mr. Lloyd-George found another opportun- ity to hand. He shared with Mr. As< quith and Mr. Winston Churchill the distinction of being the most effective and sparkling of all the upholders of Free Trade. With the legal eye for a weak ar-| > - | . : gument and the legal gift for lumin | moniously ignored. | dead ret against this drain of mission- | ous and precise speaking, he has a Celtic touch of idealism, zealotry, and imagination that makes him on a pub- lic platform one of the most refresh. ing of speakers. There is a tremen- dous air of life about him. He is a man who, though he hits with all his might, is utterly destitute of malice or pettiness. To see his frank and en- gaging smile is to know him for the enerous natire he is. His success in managing men, in piloting bills through Parliament, in composing dis- putes, springs partly from the posses. sion of great tact and experience, and partly from an almost instantaneous perception of what is essential as well as of what is possible, but chiefly | from the reflex action of his open and | winning personality upon those with | whom he is dealing. The Llovd-George who addresses his own countrymen and the Lloyd-George | who speaks at Westminster seem to the uninitiated Englishman two differ. ent persons. In Wales he will let him- self go with an exuberance that makes the ordinary Englishman mutter something about "the Celtic tempera. ment." At Westminster, and with aual nataralpess, none more saga- cious, pertinent, or levekheaded rr he. But I do rot know that contra.

In its simplest form, money is any | such as articles of food and clothing In the very edrliest stage of man's { his forests in search of game, the pro- ducts of the chase would natorally be- come the recognized excéhangeable valuables. While the carecases only the skins could be preserved as cover- ings for the body. Thus, hides would probably be the first form of money. Nor is there anything so incongruous about leather money. It is said that time of Peter the Great leather money was in circulation in Russia. As divilization advanced, and man reached a higher stage--thée pastoral formed the most valuable kind of property. Fre- quent mention is made in the Homerie ms of cattle being the commodity in terms of which all other articles were valued. It is a curious fact that the very name of this cattle-money has been retained in our language. It is generally allowed that pecunia, the Latin for money, is from pecus, eat tle, and of course our own word "pe- cuniary" is from the same root. The ancient Egyptians had a curi- ous kind of ring-money, which was worn upon the fingers, and slipped off as required. As might have been expected, the Chinese were among the first to coin money. Their first coins were made of poreclain and were coined by the riests in the temples. It is a curious act that even at this early date the counterfeiting of coins had com- mencad, as we find that all the early coins had contemporary counterfeits Not only had the ancient Chinese real coins, but they had also in circula- tion pasteboard banknotes as early as 140 B.C At the nresent time many curious objects are used by uncivilized races JUNE 19, 1908.

The natives of Fiji, up till a short time since, used whales' teeth as money. Many vegetable products have at one time or another been used as money. Corn and wheat have always been favorite medinms of exchange, and even at the present time corn is circulated and stored in banks as money in Norway. In the early days of the American rettlements, plugs of tobacco passed as currency, and in 1732 we find the Legislature of Mary- land making tobacco and Indian corm legal tender. At the beginning of the eighteéth century eggs were circulated in Swit gerland, while at a comparatively re- cent date dried codfish formed the currency of Newfoundland. Pieces of salt rock are freely eir- culated in Abyssinia at the present day, while the favorite tender of the native Mexican is cubes of soap. We have it on the authority of Adam Smith that, in some of the country districts of Scotland, hand-made nails were used as small change up to the middle of the eighteenth century.
