CLEVENSTINE WARNS DEALER WHO DOES
NOT LIVE UP TO FUEL.-LESS ORDERS ON
MONDAY THAT HE WILL BE PROSECUTED

Prosecution to the full limit of the
law will be given all violators of the
fueiless orders on Monday of next
week
This is the declaration of RI. A.
Cievenstine, chairman Of the Rock Is
land county fuel board, who is ar
ranging a systematic plan for enforc-
ing the fuel administrations order to
the full letter of the ruling MIR.
Clevenstine expects to have a COM
plete list of instructions which will
advise every line of business exactly
as to whether or not it can remain
open, and ii SO. the hours that it can
operate. 1t is the plan of the chair
man to see to it that every clause in
the order is obeyed in this city
"A stricter watch will be kept on
Monday of next week for violators of
the fuelless day orders than Monday
OF this week. Mr. Clevenstine said in
an interview today ''All dealers who
fail to live up to the regulations will
be severely dealt with. 1t is our pur-
pose to rigidly enforce the instructions

tween the two towns. Trachoma, a
durable disease, DR.. McShane said,
would remain with person life
time if not treated and finally cause
blindness 1t was described as an
infection Of the lower eyelids, due
chiefly to improper sanitary condi-
tons.
Malaria, generally considered to be
a more or less harmless disease, DR..
McShane said could not be ignored by
the state, especially since southern IL
linois was a fertile field. for the de-
velopment Of the sickness, due largely,
he stated, to poor drainage and SAM
tation. AT Jonesboro alone reports
showed 200 cases of malaria within a
brief period and the report on these
cases was sent to the department by a
single physician. East st. Louis was
said to have so cases and New Men
den, H., similar number.
Fewer cases Of hookworm, known
as Egyptian chlorosis," were report
ed. Dr. McShane said. He added that
this condition perhaps was due to the
fact that the disease is not always
recognized by physicians. That hook
worm cases are numerous in southern
Illinois, however, was the belief OF
DR.. McShane. Oil of NORWOOD or
tymol, he said, would effect a cure.
All three of the diseases were de-
clared by DR.. McShane to be communl-
cable.
In some of the mines Of Kentucky
and Tennessee, it was said, as many
as Is per cent of the miners were at
fected by trachoma. This fact, it is
stated, has led the federal government
to establish six small, free hospitals
for the treatment of the affection in
Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia
and Virginia.
Many of the southern Illinois cases
of this disease, it is said, have come
up from the south.

Facing what is believed to be a
more serious coal famine than that
experienced last week. and believing
business must be further suspended
to make the depleted supply of fuel
last, the Rock Island and Scott county
fuel boards went into session at the
Rock Island club this afternoon with
the purpose in view of making string
emit regulations TO meet the situation.
B. j. Denman, chairman of the
Scott county fuel board, told the men,
bers that there is less rolling stock
hauling coal from the mines today
than at any time in the last few weeks
This is attributed to the fact, that the
coal mines are not operating full force
and some are not open even in part
Scarcity Of labor is attributed as the
cause.
H. A. Clevenstine, chairman of the
Rock Island county fuel board, told
the members that the tri-cities face
more serious coal famine within q
few days than that experienced last
week. Mr.. Clevenstine declared that
il is of utmost import that the two
fuel boards take some action which
will tend to further conserve the Goa
brought in to the tri-cities.

1t was considered probable, shortly
after the meeting convened, that the
law now in effect in Davenport where
by the stores open at O'Clock in the
morning and close at 4:30 in the aft
ernoon, except Saturday, will be
placed in effect here. 1t has beer
found that there is considerable
saving in fuel in Davenport as d re-
suit Of this measure.
Furthermore, since Davenport now
has to suspend business on Monday
the same as Rock Island and Moline
as a result of the fuel-less day order.
being applied to that city by the lows
state fuel administration, it was con
sidered only Just step to take. Thu:
business hours in each of the three
cities will be uniform and none vii
have commercial advantages over thu
ether in the matter OF closing.
No change was made in the Monda,
closing orders. The later opening AM
earlier closing order for each day is il
addition to the fuel-less day suspen
sion of practically all business.
Forty Cars Today.
Forty carloads of COAL. 1000 tons
arrived in Rock Island today. Will
this is twice the normal domestic con
sumption, the fact that there is it'll
fuel in sight, makes it important tina

possible.
