Mr.. zANDlTON EXPANDS
Leases Second and Third Floors Of
Opera House Block.

EdWard Zandlton, owner of the big
department store at 612 Kansas ave-
nue., closed a lease this morning with
the owner of the property, L. M. Craw-
ford, for the second and third floors of
the building, which will give him an
additional floor space of $500 square
feet, making the total space occupied
by this mammoth store nearly $4,000
square feet.
The Zanditon store now occupies the
first floor and basement of the build
ing on two 25 foot lots in the heart
of the business district of Topeka,
running back $50 feet to the alley.
These rooms from the floor of the
basement to the ceiling of the Kansas
avenue rooms are crowded and packed
with the special offerings of the firm.
The second floor will be occupied by
the cloak, suit, and millinery depart
ments excepting the space which has
been reserved for rest and reception
room.
The third floor will be used for the
sales and display department for car
pets, rugs, lace curtains, upholstery
and draperies. The additional space
which Mr.. Zanditon secures by the
lease which he made this morning is
badly needed as the firm has been
cramped in its present quarters, and
needs the room badly.
The growth of the Zanditon store in
Topeka has been one of the marvels
in the commercial progress of the city
and a monument to the efficacy OF
the modern advertising methods used
by Mr.. Zanditon. 1t also marks a
wonderful transformation in the bust
ness methods of the proprietor over
those of four years ago when he was
selling goods from a wagon on the
streets of Topeka.
Shortly afterwards he rented small
room on Kansas avenue and within a
year owned large department store
on East Sixth street, and two others
in smaller towns in Kansas. The re-
building of the Crawford opera house
after the fire Is months ago gave Mr..
Zanditon the opportunity for which he
longed and the model store at that
number is the result.
Topeka needs big department
store such as 1 will make this one,"
said Mr.. Zanditon, lone that will be
credit alike to myself and the city.
My success has been greater than I
anticipated and if my business in
creases during the next six months as
it has during the six months that I
have been at my present location I
will occupy the entire building. My
success is due to the advertising meth
DDS which 1 use and my ability to de-
liver the goods as advertised. Just
keep your eye on this number and
within a year you will see one Of the
largest department stores in the west
located right here in Topeka under a
Zanditon sign"

GOOD FOOD FOR GOOD SOLDIERS

The statement of Maj Gen. Greedy Columbia. that he will urge the war department to improve the ratons of soldiers, will doubtless receive warm approbation at army posts throughout the country. Soldiers are not as well fed as sailors, though. as Gen. Greedy says, there is no good reason why the men in one department of the service should be better fed than the men in the other department
 In quality, and in nutritlve value the food now supplied soldiers Is of a high order In quantity and variety. how ever there is much to be desired, and 1t Is for this reason that the de- partment is being urged to alter. in some fashion the bill of fare at army posts.
 The men who enter the service of the nation, and accept such conditions of life as the army post imposes, ought to bt Ntl ltu, | nt uallbu Cdluoi dl- ford to provide less than the soldier may need in the way of food. Of course. no man has starved to death at any of the countrys army posts; but it isn't good thing for the service for any considerable number of men to be dissatisfied with either the kind or quantity of food they get, and it isn't a good thing either for them to know that other men in the service are better fed than they are. Such knowledge will beget dissatisfaction, and the dissatisfied man, whether sol dier, sailor or civilian, will never meet, in an efficient way, the obligations put upon him.
 Good food. ample in amount, and suf- ficient in variety to spice army post routine, is what the American soldier ought to have. That's what the Amer ican people want him to have. and as the American people pay the biu the soldier ought to get the goods
