THE CLEAN STREET
CRY CONTINUES
Industrial Association Committees
Discuss Plans o. Keeping the
Streets Of City
Clean.
SEVERAL PLANS MADE
Definite Plan. VIII be evolved and
Presented to Industrial
Association Dl-
rectors.
SEVERAL PLANS MADE

The insistent cry for clean streets
raised last fall by the people of Keo-
kuk has not entirely died out and
some plan is going to be evolved
whereby a repetition OF last years
conditions can be averted. Late this
afternoon the members OF the Indus
trial Association committee on streets
and alleys and the retail merchants
committee met to discuss ways and,
means Of securing clean streets dur
ing the coming summer. No definite
plan can receive the support of the
Industrial Association, however, I'M
til it is presented to the directors and
approved. The committees will re-.
port to the directors at their meeting
next Tuesday noon.
The retail merchants are particular
ly interested in the condition of Main
street and are determined to see that
lit is kept in manner that Is a credit
to the city and not detrimental to bus4
ness. One of the plans that has been
suggested for Main street is for the
merchants to discontinue the sprink-
ling for which they pay and oil the
streets. If the street is oiled prop
|erly, 1t is claimed that it will not be
obnoxious in any way and that 1t will
keep down the dust and dirt all sum
mer. Il Is further said that this
method does hot preclude the clean
ing of the street. Others are insist
cnt that a squad of men be kept on
the paved streets all the time as Is
the plan in most cities and that the
sprinkling be continued with occa-
sional flushing.
For the residence streets, particu-
larly those which are macadamized,
the proposition Of oiling them has
been put forward. This would be
done at the property owners or resi-
dents expense and is planned as a
voluntary movement to be carried out
Iif public opinion will sustain it, The
macadam streets especially are very
dusty in the summer the surface dust
blowing away before the wind and be-
ing washed away by rains. 1t is
claimed that the method OF oiling
would remove the dust the entire
summer. Not only are the plans for
keeping down the dust on streets
proposed from business standpoint
or personal comfort but because Of
the effect Of dust upon the public
health.
The city commissioners have told
the Industrial Association committee
that they would be glad to work In
cooperation with them and will re-
ceive their plans for consideration
where the powers OF the city officers
are necessary in carrying out the
plans.

plans formulated at q meeting OF the
board at the office OF President ]. s.

This sum. It is believed, will prove
SUFFICIENT to carry the Muscatine club

session, Funds will not be solicited
until March !, when Manager Frank
Boyle will arrive in this city to es-
tablish his permanent residence.
Little difficulty is anticipated by
the directors in raising the funds. A
finance committee, comprising Direc-
tors Davis, Prouty, Sam Block. Fred
Block, Diercks, Figg and McQuester.,
was named a. the session. The sex
tette will ask for no specific amount
as to what any enthusiast who is de-
sirous Of seeing the game continue
here, should give. There is no limit
to what a person may give. The
price Of a single admission Is accept
able to them. and II a man loosens
up and offers five hundred or thou
sand dollars. they are not going to

Saves The Hair
And Keeps You Looking
Young

OOAAk
Don't look older than you are. 1t is
just as easy to look younger. While
lack of hair or poor hair is not always
an indication Of age, it is frequently
accepted as such.
A person well advanced in wears pos
sessing a good head of hair is always
spoken of as well preserved"
Everyone can retain beautiful, lux
uriant hair if they make the effort. In
almost every instance poor hair or the
loss of hair may be traced to the activ-
ity Of the dandruff germ. Newbro's
Herpicide prevents the scalp-like ac-
cumulation and puts the scalp in a per-
fectly healthy condition. With the
elimination of the dandruff the hair no
longer drops out. The itching of the
scalp stops almost at once,
Newbro's Herpicide is the remedy
for which there are many substitutes,
preparations claimed to be lust as
good" You don't have to accept a
substitute. Insist upon having genu-
inc Herpicide.
