QUICK WORK DONE
ON THE COAL DOCK

Arriving the bay. yesterday fore
noon, the Spanish steamship Angel
B. Perez, en- route from Boca Grande
to New Orleans, was hurriedly coaled,
and after spending but few hours in
port, departed last night, bound for
the Crescent City, where additional
cargo will be received. The steamer
at the Florida port named loaded a
partial cargo consisting of 1900 tons
of Florida phosphate, this being con-
signed to buyers at Valencia, Spain,
for which port the steamer viii pro-
coed from New Orleans
Arriving in Pensacola the steamer
went to the coal chutes Immediately,
and when the improved bunkering
facilities were put in operation it
meant surprisingly short stay for
the Perez in Pensacola bay, so far as
coaling was concerned. On account
of the improved facilities, therefore,
the steamer was enabled to get out
of port before dark, going down the
bay shortly after A o'clock.
The Angel B. Perez has wireless
equipment aboard, and this was espe-
cially noted by the boarding officers
AS she was not flying the flag OF
any of the numerous belligerents
, the steamer was not required to sea-
up her wireless room while in Pensa-

How | Will Bring Up My
Baby--By Billie Burke
FIRST NEED OF NEWBORN INFANT IS FRESH AND
PLENTY OF 1T. SAYS FAMOUS ACTRESS.
BY BILLIE BURKE.
Copyright, 1916, by the Newspaper
Enterprise Association.


Nature has made some instincts
and some emotions in the human race
much greater than reasoning power,
and I must here repeat that which
you have probably heard before, that
there is no joy known in Hhis world
that can compare with that which
comes to a woman when her first
babe is laid in her arms.
Then it is that she makes the plan
of her baby's life a beautiful story,
and it is unfortunate that in many
cases her energies and practical
knowledge are not equal to carrying
them out.
A mother must first look to the
physical needs of her baby and the
first need is fresh air and plenty of
it.
Have, if possible, room with plen-
ty of windows in which your child
may sleep, or better, wrap her up
warmly and let her take daytime
maps out of doors. Even when the
temperature is below zero there is
no reason why baby if properly
made warm with coverings and hot
water bottles should not sleep with
the windows wide open.
When mothers learn the import
ance of fresh air to the health Of
the child, there will be much less Of
the "Great White Plague.
Children who are always kept il
fear of cold and are housed in poor,
ly ventilated rooms never use theil
lungs to the fullest extent. You car

CHICAGO, Oct. ii. Ogden Arm
our, packer, today predicted that the
war would be over by spring. Polit-
ical leaders abroad are talking and
thinking peace, and one can read it
in the speeches of statesmen of all
countries, he said. .'That, to me, IL
strong indication that peace is
near.
I'VE in the United States have en-
joyed unprecedented Prosperity for
three years. Most of it was at the
expense OF Europe and we can now
afford to have year or so OF less
prosperity. 1t Is unhealthy to have
great business and industrial organ
izations do the abnormal business
many Of them are now doing. Meth
er are the current prices of grains
and provisions sound and healthy. I
think the normal growth along all
lines more desirable.
1--WE should not worry about post
war conditions, however We have
much latent strength and our re-
sources at home and abroad will
uphold u.s."

Charges Are Filed In Superior Court
Against Autoists-Fifteen
Are For No

SATURDAYS ROUNDUP
Much of the Evidence Secured by the
Traffic Cop at Fifth and Main
Streets-Elght Pay
Fines.

Seventeen new automobile informa-
tons were filed in the superior court
tSis morning as the result Of police
activity Saturday night. Fifteen are
for no lights, one for speeding and
reckless driving and one for not dis
playing license number plates. Most
Of the defendants are Keokuk resi-
dents but there Is sprinkling of WIS.,
itors. The evidence was secured
largely at Fifth and Main streets by
the traffic cop at that point.
Informations for no lights were
filed against Mrs. T. A. Craig, O. H.

J. H. Pechstein, Sam G.. Bower, r.

an appearance this morning.
Fl. Bartholomew is charged with not
displaying license number plates for
1917 on the front and rear Of his car,
and Pete Van Ausdall with speeding
and driving recklessly on Nam street.
Some of those against whom infor-
nations were filed were peeved and
one wanted to know why the police
department didn't direct its attention
to catching bootleggers. The authori-
ties state that by far the larger num-
Der Of complaints coming to their at
tention are about automobiles and
they intend to continue their present
course Of grabbing all who violate the
law. Special attention is now being
paid to open mufflers. There are some
who would like the authorities to turn
their attention TO Grand avenue and
North Fourteenth street. Both of
these thoroughfares are being over
run with speeders, 1t Is said.

ating at Fort Madison, as the follow
ing from the Democrat shows: Two
tires were stolen and an attempt
was made to steal two others from
the Crowder Machine shop Friday,
according to a report received this
morning The thieves were frighten-
ed away before they could secure the
second pair and made good their es-
cape without being recognized. Ac-
Icording to the story, some one drove
up to the shop early In the day and
cody loaded two tires into the car
when no one was looking and drove
away. Later In the day, while Mr..
Crowder had stepped out in the back
on brief errand, a car, supposed to
be the same one that paid the visit
in the morning, drove up and the
occupants were making way with two
more tires when Mr.. Crowder came
in. They dropped the stolen goods
and hurried away, leaving 40 trace as
to their identity.
