Senatorial District:
am a candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket for nomination for
delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention, subject to the primary
election to be held Sept 10, next,
and l earnestly ask your support.
In my professional and official
experience / have come in contact
with many of the questions that
will be involved in that convention
and that have made its calling nee
essary.
For more than twenty years /
have been advocating the calling
of a constitutional convention to
revise and amend the present con-
stitution, for in no other way has
it's amendment or revision been
reasonably possible-due to the re-
strictions for such purpose en-
braced in the constitution itself
and l have always hoped to be a
delegate to such convention when
called.
have retired from the practice
of law and can give all my time to
the work. l am not connected with
terest that would bias or prejudice
my action in the convention. have
no hobbies nor pet schemes to adj
vance and am absolutely free to
give the very best there is in me to
the work of the convention, to the
state and to the people, and if
elected will do so.
1 served my country in the Civil
war; I have served my county and
congressional district on different
occasions many years in public
office, and I frankly say that l
would like to round out my official
career by helping to write the con-
stitution OF my state. However,
Just as frankly say. without regard
for any candidates personal ambi-
lions. that the work of the conven-
ton is a mans work, and that the
ability and fitness of the candt-
date to do it should be the voters
first consideration.

WAGE INCREASE
Readiustment of Salaries Effective

Moline Firm.
Especial Moline service)

Wage readjustments, effective
Aug. Is, are planned by the Moline
Pillow company, as an aid to en-
ployes in the fight against the high
cost of living.
Experts are now at work on the
new schedules, which are compli-
Gated because of the fact that the
majority of men is engaged on a
piece-work basis.
Decision of the company is that
the 10 per cent war bonus, given
separately as bonus, shall be con-
tinued as part of each mans pay,
and that to this sum there shall be
added a raise, not fiat to all men,
but so graduated that the pay of all
may be made commensurate with
living needs.

Lost And FOund---A Blush

Do all the modern bushes live in
little boxes?
Are 1919 girls incapable of the
self-starting blush?
That's the opinion of one of "ou
boys just back from over there!"
At any rate he's going about his
own United States announcing to his
girl friends hat he hates ready-made
compilations, hat most p~resent-day
girls are too brazen to blush, that
b%lushing is a lost art for which the
female of the species has substituted
the are of camouflage."
Arc modern girls too brazen to
blush-except out of a box? Not at
all. Modern girls car blush quite as
mothers-and do. on proper occa-
sions. Dear old Noah Webster, who
| wrote the worlds best seller-reports
that "a blush is a sudden ~reddening
of the cheeks by a suffusion of blood,
caused by modesty, shame or confu-
sion" Now it is manifestly impossi-
Bile for any girl to go about in a con-
tinual state of modesty, shame, or
confusion which produces the becom-
ing blush! 1t is also evident that the
| blush is immensely popular with men
according to history, poetry. drama
and personal testimony, both ancient
| and moderni What, then, is more
| reasonable than that women should
| strive for some method of producing
| the blush. the popular, charming.

nonsense means which shall insure
the desired result without the tedious

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain sitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase Strength, vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countess preparations
and treatments which ara continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose Of making
thin people feshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro- phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phos-
phate quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
IT a general improvement in the health:
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear dun
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although tro-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
gIeeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should not, owing to it's remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.

Il You Need 4 Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of, sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the prom; of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says '.Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri.
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism

Eiuures Never Lie

In January, 1910, there were in the
United States 62,6S9 single men insane
and 26,047 married men insane
which shows that the crazy men stay
single. At the same time there were
37.115 single women insane and 35,-
4 $40 married women insane-which
proves that in January, 1910, married
life made more women crazy than 1t
did men. And the more you study
these figures the crazier it makes you.
