TWO DAYS LEFT
FOR CLEANING UP
The Campaign in keokuk Alleys and
Back Yards Must be Closed
Ready for inspection Next

only few more days are left for
the completion OF the cleaning up of
Keokuk, and Thursday and Friday
must see the work all done" said the
chairman of the campaign this morn
ing.
The ward workers have been busy
and considerable progress is report
ed, but there remain some spots,
which must be removed from alleys
and back yards before the work is
done. The idea is to make the back
yard as clean as the front yard, and
the alley as clean rs the street.
Next Saturday, will see the wind
up of the campaign. The judges will
go out then on their inspection trip,
and everyone is expected to have his
property cleaned up and in proper
shape by that time.

FUEL PROBLEM
WORRIES OHIO
Scores Of Schools and Fac
tories Hard Hill.
ALSO HOMES AND CHURCHES

Coal Famine, However, Does Not
Seem to Have Touched the Brew

Of Coal to 5rsw a Pint of Beer and
Nearly 100000 Tons to Run Ohio
Brew Factories a Year-ShouId the
Children Suffer That the Manufac.
ture of Beer May Continue?
The fuel problem in Ohio this winter
is causing almost as much discussion
as the war. Every community is af-
fected and in some communities every
family. Schools are closed; churches
are without worshippers; industries
are shut down; libraries and lodge
rooms are without heat; there is suf-
fering in hundreds of homes and
there are instances of illness and
death because of a lack of fuel.
In the country farmers are return
ing to the use of wood and in some
sections the stove-wood industry
again flourishes. The closing down of
mills and factories has thrown thou
sands of men out of work and at the
very time when work is necessary to
the employer and the empIoye.
So far as coal is concerned, Ohio is
living from hand to mouth. There is
much criticism, and that is natural
under the circumstances. Some of it
may be deserved and some may not be
deserved. When people are cold and
when business, religious, and social
activities are hampered because of
lack of fuel, when there seems to be
plenty of it, criticism may be ex-
pected.
"Save fuel" is the slogan of the
country over. Consumers are urged
not to waste precious coal even in the
smallest measure.
But while homes, industries, schools
and churches of Ohio are in the grip
of the coal famine, have you heard of
an Ohio brewery that has been closed
because it is without coal? 1t was
reported in Columbus during a cold
spell some weeks ago, that on the day
that six school buildings were closed
because there was no coal to heat
them, one of the breweries of the city
received five car loads of the black
diamonds.
Children could not go to school that
beer might be brewed.
One of the assistant fuel admins
traitors of Ohio says it requires 248
pounds of coal to brew barrel of
beer of 81 gallons. This is equal to a
pound of coal to pint of beer. In
1917, the beer brewed in Ohio, ac-
cording to the Internal Revenue Com
missioner, aggregated 5,45S,868 bar
rels, and to brew this beer required
676, ,S99 tons of coal.
At this rate, Ohio brewers are now
using nearly 1000 tons of coal day.
Humanity suggests this coal be used

which have been met by new

this concession does not deal un-
justly toward other secutity hold

to make comfortable the homes of the
state, rather than in the making of
beer.
The manufacturer of beer cannot,
by the widest stretch of the imagi-
nation, be termed necessity. Quite
generally it is considered a liability
from the time it is produced until the
public cares for its evil consequences.
At any rate, no matter how dry or
how wet the people of Ohio may be,
there is no question but that in the
conservation of coal they believe the
breweries should be closed and the
fuel diverted to the homes where it is
greatly needed.

DEATHS IN BRITISH FORCSs
IN ACTION AND FROM WOUNDS
lOa1l act.

ESTIMATED AT BUT 7 PER CENT
Now that American troops are
taking their places in the trench
es, attention is again directed to
an estimate by the Secretary of
War, that the losses up to June
1, 1917, of the British expedi-
tionary forces from deaths in ac-
tion and from wounds amounted
to but Z per cent of the total of
all men sent to France since the
beginning of the war.
The ratio of losses Of this char
acter today, because of improved
tactics, is less than Z to every
100 men,
