FIVE CARS Of COAL
ARRIVED This NOON
Wabash Annuls Other Freight Trains
and Uses Motive Power to
Bring in Fuel Cars
MORE COMING MONDAY
II is Expected That the Situation Will
Be Greatly Relieved if Cars
Can be Picked up
Thou.
MORE COMING MONDAY

! Five car loads of coal for Keokuk
dealers were brought into Keokul to-
day over the Wabash. 1t Is expected
that more will be coming in Monday.
The Wabash annulled two local freight
trains and sent the motive power over
to Bluffs 10 bring in the fuel train.
Fuel Commissioner Nagel said that he
believed local dealers would give pref
erence to householders, wherever a
preference is necessary and this idea
will be followed out in the distribution
of coal from now Oh.
There were five cars Of coal con-
signed to Cameron and Sinton in the
train load which arrived this after
noon about one o'clock. There was
coal also for the Du Pont plant at
Mooar and for the j. c. Hubinger Bros.
Co., here. The train was later getting
out Of Bluffs than anticipated and its
arrival here was delayed.
The zero weather made it hard going
for the light engines which were on
this end of the line, but the action or
the Wabash in annulling other freight
trans to bring in the fuel trains is ap-
preciated by all of the local people con-
nected with the fuel situation. Chair
man Nagel said he thought where it
IS necessary TO give preference lney
should go to the householders.
Weather such as yesterday made it
hard going for the train locomotives,
and it was hard shedding to get them
through In the cold as their efficiency
is greatly impaired on days like Fri
day. However, the road is making
every effort to relieve the situation
here.
If more coal comes in Monday morn
ing, as is anticipated. the local situa-
ton will be somewhat relieved. The
five cars which are hauled in here to-
day have been the only ones that could
be found in the whole bunch consigned
to Keokuk. Others, however, were to
be picked up today and sent in here.
The fuel administration for Keokuk
is composed of John Nagel, T. F. Bald
win and H. r. Culkin.

Thrift stamps Used.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The use OF
war saving certificates and thrift
stamps bids fair to simplify the
clerical labor Of corporations which
declare dividends in Liberty bonds.
Heretofore such dividends have
necessitated adjustments either in
cash or participation certificates in
case of small holdings Of stock
which may now be eliminated in
large part by utilizing the IS and %
cent stamps The American Radia-
tor Co. announced an extra dividend
of 81 share of common stock to-
day, payable in second Liberty loan
bonds and the stamps. The usual
quarterly dividend of So share in
cash was also declared.

All winter long we had talked it
over in our warm hole in the ground
and grandad kept harping on the
fact that I'd be the first fellow out
during war times since 1861. He
wished he could go, but he couldn't.
Grandad is about all in. He just sits
by the fire most of the time, puff
ing away at his corn cob pipe and
arguing about winters when he was
a boy, being SO consarned cold that
it froze the fur on the racoons. We
tried to argue him down for awhile,
but finally had to give it UP and let
him have his own way. But ! notice
he's Rugged the fire tighter than ever
this year and used two extra covers
on his bed.
Well, this morning early l put on
my rubbers and mittens, had gran
dad wrap my tippet tight around my
neck and hold the door open while
l got a good start and went scam
pering out into the OPEN Great por-

old Doc Cooks history Of the north

There Was Nothing So Good
for Congestion and Colds
as Mustard

But the old-fashioned mustard plaster
burned and blistered while it acted. Get
the relief and help that mustard
plasters gave, without the plaster and
without the blister.
Musterole does it. 1t is clean, white
ointment, made with oil of mustard. 1t is
scientifically prepared, so that it works
wonders. and yet does not blister tho
tenderest skin.
Just massage Musterole in with the fin
ger-tips gently. See how quickly it brings
relief-how speedily the pain disappears.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, tonsilitis. Group, stiff neck, asthma,
neuralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy,
rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of
the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of
