/ Quincy last Sunday, and the papers
say that the ban on crowds has not
been enforced there very much by
the city authorities, except by proc
lamation.
| 1t is evident that freedom from in
fluenza in city depends entirely
upon the backbone of its mayor in
enforcing without fear or favor the
regulations of General Blue and the

evening.
1t was signed by Paul v. Bear, pres
ident Of the retail grocers, who was
ltelephoned early this morning by
Mayor Lotion regarding this fragrant
violation of the ban on meetings.
Mr.. Bear was thunder struck when
he realized his position, and explained
that he sent out the call in routine
way without thinking Of the influ-
enza ban. He instantly agreed to re-
call the notice of the meeting. A food

What They are Doing.
Here in Keokuk, the chief effects
of the influenza are the changes in
daily life and activities caused by the
ban on meetings, lodges, clubs and
societies.
The housewives say they are clean
ing house little and mending more.
The librarians at the public library
are catching up with their work
which is never done. They embrace
the opportunity to do a lot of work
delayed by the fact that the library
is undermined. They are also
bringing the cataloging nearer up to
date.
The Keokuk Concert band misses
its rehearsals which come under the
official ban, there are SO many mem
bers of the band.
The labor unions have abandoned
their meetings like the other organi-
cations.
kcokuk Well Protected.
While Influenza made slight In
crease in the state, the situation at
Camp Dodge is so much improved
that army restrictions there were
greatly modified yesterday. There
We're not enough new cases to report,
and the soldiers were let out of quar-
tiers and allowed to have the freedom
of the cantonment. This allowed the
Keokuk nurses to be sent home.
How well Keokuk is being pro-
tected is indicated by the reports
from the rest of the country.

save gas this winter All the fuel obanable gas coal and
wood is needed The labor of every man must be made to
count Industrial plants must be kept running If thew

been to cut off industrial plants in order that do
nestle consumers should be provided with gas Bv care
fully conserving it may be possible not to cut off anv
industrial plants for single hour this winter Exravagant
use of gas on the other hand closing down var
Gus plants at times.
