CHRISTMAS
CANDY RULES
No Restrictions Will Be Placed on
Buying 1t, But the Manufact-
ure Is Curtaiied This
Year.

/ tits Just one thing after another,
said J. F. Elder today. He Is. food ad
ministrator for Lee county and IL
finding it a big job, especially as II
includes the technic OF preserving
strawberries, the time for canning
plums and pears, and whether a SON
in-law eating rather regularly at q
house is to be counted an inmate de.
serving two pounds of sugar month
for the housewife.
Now it is Christmas candy, Just
when pear canning is stopped" he
said, exhibiting the very latest order
from State Food Administrator
Deems, which started from Mr.. Hoo
vers office.
1t seems that the lolicy being adopt
ed as regards Christmas candy for
children has been brought to the at
tentton OF the conservation committee
OF the food administration.
This committee has decided that
since candy manufacturers are limit
ed in their supplies OF sugar, 1t is I'M
necessary to ask the children to ell
inmate candy during the holidays.
The benefit from having children give
I'D candy entirely would be only q
one emphazing the
need Of saving sugar, and the necessi-
ties of the moment do not seem to
warrant adopting this measure.
Requests for additional sugar to
make candy for Christmas trees pres
ent another question, and sugar must
not be given for these purposes eth
er to regular manufacturers, to Sun.
day schools or to individuals, who
have been in the habit of making ex-
ira candy at Christmas time.
People making such requests should
consider the possibility of making GER
tain candies without sugar, says Mr..
Elder.

ANOTHER DAY
WITH A NAME
Governor Of Iowa Fixes Next Friday
as Fire Prevention Day In
This State by Proc
lamation,

Ole P Roe, state fire marshal, is
distributing copies to Keokuk people
OF the proclamation Of Governor
Harding making next Friday fire pre-
rention day in this state. The proc
lamation reads:
The general observation Of fire
prevention day in 1918 Is more
urgent than ever before, for fire
causes direct destruction OF grain
and other foodstuffs in storage, as
well as cotton, lumber and large
variety of other war supplies.
Fire cripples productive industry
engaged upon war orders to far
greater extent than Is generally re-
allied.
The nations annual fire loss of
approximately $3.50, 000, 600 is nearly
equivalent to the interest upon six
billion dollars worth Of Liberty
bonds. 1t thus impairs Americas
financial resources at time when
war conditions call for the utmost
and thrift.
While thus causing a vast impair
ment in Americas fighting eff
fire loss Is. in the main. un-
necessary. Through the adoption Of
proper preventative measures, and
particularly through the cultivation
OF habits Of carefulness, 1t could be
greatly decreased.
Believing, therefore, that fire pre-
vention becomes the patriotic duty
Of every citizen, do hereby pro-
claim Friday. November 1, 1913. fire
prevention day, and earnestly rec
that the observance be Civ

operation of the newspapers. church

school systems, and that the definite
objective be to make November 1,
