DEPARTMENT STORE
ENLARGNG SPACE

Remodeling and decorating a.,
Klein's Davenport store is signifi-
cant of the tremendous strides the
business has taken since it's start.
In order to find room for the large
stock of fall merchandise it was
found necessary to open the third
floor and to enlarge the main floor
Speaking about the improve
ments, Mr.. Klein says: I'VE have
always aimed to give our custom
ers a large selection of merchan-
disc. The women of today cannot
make a satisfactory selection from
a limited stock. In order to make
shopping convenient and to prop
erly display our merchandise, i'm
provements are essential.
In order to impress the shopper
with the idea that the new fall
models reflect the autumn season
we have decorated our window
walls with beautiful suggestive
scenery. New carpets are being
laid, additional fitting rooms in
stalled and the office has been en-
larged."

lican ticket for nomination tor
delegate to the Constitutional Con
vention. subject to the primary
election To be held Sept 10. next.
and | earnestly ask your support.
In my professional and official
experience 1 have come in contact

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 10
revise and amend the present con
stitution. for in no other way has
its amendment or revision been
reasonably pOssible-due to the re-
strictions for such purpose em-
braced in the constitution itself
and ! have always hoped 10 be a
delegate to such convention when
called.
l have retired from the practice
OF law and can give all my time 90
the work. / am not connected with
any private. public or special in
terest that would bias or prejudice
my action in the convention. l have
no hobbies nor pet schemes to ad-
vance and am absolutely free TO
give the very best there Is in me 10
the work of the convention, to the
state and to the people, and IL
elected will do so.

war: I have served my county and
congressional district on different
occasions many years in public
office, and / 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-
tions, that the work of the conven-
ton is a mans work, and that the
ability and fitness of the eandi-
date to do it should be the voters
first consideration.

REPLY TO MIR. ARMOUR.

n hEI IL ~ Mn AhAON H.
Editor Of The Argus:
In reference to the plant of the
distinguished individual as voiced
by him in this column last evening:
1t was expected that the Kenyon
bill would bring a squeal from the
packers We hope the bill passes
and that it will put the packers
into the so-caIled medieval straight
jacket that they say will be such a
terrible blow to American business
But will it? We rather think not,
but that it will give the smaller
concerns a chance to live Hogging
everything seems to be the five
big packers latest aim.
1t is time congress was making
and putting a muzzle on these giant
concerns before they become the
"Junkers of America" They are
not satisfied to control meat, lard
and leather, but they must branch
out into groceries, and after they
have squeezed out all small COM
petitors they can raise prices to
Just where people will boiler but
won't fight. Are we to stand by
quietly and let this Moloch con-
tinue?
]. Ogden Armour threatens that
the packers will fight. We surely
expect them to fight and to use
their vast wealth for that purpose,
but let US hope that congress, with
such good fighting stock as Kenyon
of Iowa and others, will not be
blinded by the glitter of that money
and that it will throttle the beast
whose growth threatens to become
a menace to this country and per-
haps to the whole world.

MAD CHRONIC BRONCHITIS FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS NOW WE'LL AND HAPPY

The experience of MT. E. J. Tou- palik. 14S3 Rose street, kaCrcsse, Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable on account of the length of time he was afflicted.
 He writes: T have been suf- fering with chronic bronchitis for twenty-six years and every winter I would catch cold and become so hoarse I could not speak for six or eight weeks. I could get only ts6n- porary relief.
 This winter I was taken with Grip and was in awful shape. A fellow workman advised me to take PE-RU-NA. By the time I had used three-fourths of a bottle; tho hoarsAhess was gone, also that tired feeling. I am on my second. bottle. Hereafter PE-EU-NA will be constantly in my house. It is the best medicine ever put up for the purpose"
 For any disease due to catarrh or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA is equally dependable. Coughs, colds, catarrh of the head, stomach trouble, constipation, Rheumatism. pains in the back, side and leins, bloating, belehing gas, indigestion, catarrh of the large and small in- testines, are some of the troubles for which PE-RU-NA is especially recommended.
 "E-RU-NA can be purchased anywhere in either tablet or liquid form.
