Ten Reason. WHY
You Should Send For Brooks
Rupture Appliance.

l. At Is absolutely the only Appliance
OF the Kind on the market today. and
" II are embodied the principles that
inventors have sought after for years.
2, The Appliance for rstaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out OF posi-
ton.
8, Being an air cushion OF soft rubber
II clings closely to the body, yet never
blisters or causes Irritation.
I. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads
used In other trusses, II is not cumber-
some or ungainly.
o. 1t is small. soft and pliable. and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing.
s. The soft pliable bands holding tho
Appliance do not give one the unpleasant
sensation OF wearing harness
z. There fs nothing about It to get
foul. and when it becomes soied 1t can
be washed without injuring It In the
least
S. There are no me tai springs In the
Appliance to torture one by cutting and
bruisinK the flesh.
.. All Of the material of which tbs
Appliances are made Is of the very best
that money can buy. making 1t a dura-
Bile and safe Appliance to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is so thoroughly established
by an experience OF over thirty years
of dealing with the public. and my
prices are so reasonable. my terrns SO
fair, that there certainly should be no
hesitancy In sending free coupon today.

THE MOST HEALTHFUL
FOOD KNOWN

II is perhaps not generally known
among keokuk families that "Minue-
sofa" Spaghetti is one of the most
healthful foods known.
1t is four times as nutritious as beef
steak, six times as nutritious as po-
tatoes and, because it contains more
proteids than most foods, it is more
strength giving and less fattening.
Minnesota" Spaghetti gives the
power of endurance without overload
ing the stomach and 1t should be free.
ly eaten by everyone, and especially
by children, in place of meat.
Minnesota" Spaghetti is very easy
to prepare, has deliciously appetiz.
ing flavor and costs only about one
cent dish.

TO CHANGE THE RULES
BASIS Of Representation viii be the
Chief Question to Decide and
Leaders are il Favor
Of Change.
TBv Fred Davis.1

WASHINGTON, d. G., Feb. 27.-
Representative Horace NJ. Towner OF
the eighth Iowa district endorses the
proposal OF Senator Root that meet
Ing of the republican national com
mittee be secured this spring to issue
call for a conference convention
Of the party to be held next fall to
consider revision Of the rules gov
erning the selection OF delegates to
tine national convention and to change
the basis OF representation.
Judge Towner said the proposal OF
Senator Root had the approval OF
Senators Crane, Cummins, Borah and
LaFolette, ard politicians see in this
concurring and consenting Of the regu-
lars, progressiyes,' and insurgent
leaders, a get together movement Of
large significance.
Senator Cummins was q candidate
for that nomination. as also was SEN
ator LaFollette. Senator Borah was
Roosevelt leader but refused to fol-
low him ont OF the party. He now is
holding his own lightning rod for 1916
and has the support Of Senator Ken
yon.
Judge Towner in statement on the
Root proposal said:
4 have carefully considered this
proposal. AS understand it, it is de-
sired to do at least two things:
4. To make representation in the
national conventions proportional to
the republican vote, thereby correct
Ing the disproportion in the southern
representation; and
g. To permit representation from
each state according to the laws OF
the state.
70. forty years the present plan OF
allowing full representation from the
southern states, where there existed
no party to represent, has been a
source Of embarrassment and trouble.
The effect Of this rotten borough
system was to destroy in part the
representative character of the con-
vention and to make 1t each time a
place Of intrigue. The system has
been denounced by leading republic

cans many times, but at each cleo
tion some particular candidate has
sought to strengthen his candidacy by
this easily obtained vote, and has been
strong enough to prevent change.
We have adopted system Of
geographical rather than popular rep
resentatlon. We have Allowed the
southern states to be represented
when we knew the southern people
I, We're not. Certainly the action Of the
party ought to reflect the sentiment OF
the membership of the party. A can.
didate ought to be selected by the
representatives OF real and not ficti.
tious republican voters. In the last
election Mississippi cast only 1897
votes for the republican candidate.
But 1t will be entitled under the pres
| emit system to twenty delegates in the
next republican convention. In the
last election South Carolina cast
only 536 votes for the republican can
didate. But 1t Will be entitled to
eighteen delegates If the present sys-
tenn is continued In New York 1t re.
quires 5000 republican voters to send
a delegate to the national convention,
and in Iowa 1876. But in Mississippi
only seventy-nine are required, and in
South Carolina twenty-nine 1t is
hardly necessary to argue against the
continuance Of such a system. s
Regarding the second proposition,
namely, that in the future the method
of the selection Of delegates adopted
by the committee shall apply only to
states which have not by law pro-
yided a different method, and that
where states have by law adopted a
primary or other method of selecting
delegates, such method of selection
shall govern, it may be said that most
republicans agree that this action will
be necessary. 1t is unfortunate, to
say the least, that there should be
conflict between the rules of the ma
tional committee and state laws. This
can be obviated by the national or
ganization or convention determining
the basis Of representation and the
manner of selecting delegates which
shall obtain in all states unless and
until state laws are passed providing
La different method of selection.
in Washington there appears no
dissent among republicans that the
next national convention should be
called upon different basis from the
last. To some 1t seems unnecessary
to call preliminary convention or
conference convention as suggested.
I 1t may be true, as they suggest, that
the national committee might exercise
the power without convention call.
But the matter is OF supreme Import
ance, and calls for action and en-
dorsement by the highest party
authority. Action by the committee if
authorized, and If entirely adequate
to meet the exigency could not secure
the approval nor carry the weight
that action by convention would. 1t
is hoped that as leaders Of the party
representing all its membership unite
in approving and urging the action
suggested, the rank and file will also
unite In an earnest endeayor to secure
such action. At present it would APP
pear to be an absolutely indispensable
requisite to success in future nation
al campaigns',
