Trotzky told him the government

American authorities to prosecute

GREATEST DANGER
FOLLOWS GRIP
Weakened Victims Fall Easy
Prey TO Other Diseases

The getting-well stage of grip is
the most dangerous of all because
the body, weakened by the grip, is
wide open to attacks of other lurk-
ing disease germs.
That is why all the organs of the
body must be kept in their best
working order, not only to drive out
the poison left by the grip germ,
but that the patient shall regain
strength as soon as possible to avoid
further attacks resulting from the
poisons in the system.
AS a means toward good health
after the grip Father Johns Medi-
cine builds up the body because it
is all pure wholesome nourishment
and free from opium, morphine,
chloroform or other poisonous drugs
or alcohol. Father Johns Medicine
has had GO years success for colds
and throat troubles, coughs and sore
throats, and as a tonic and body
builder.

TO
RETURN in FALL,
SAYSCAPT. ALLEN
Noted Explorers Plans Failed
Because Members of Party
Disobeyed Orders
By Associated Press

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 1S.-Captain
Alexander Allan, an Arctic trader,
has arrived from the north with
word that Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the
explorer, now in the Arctic, failed to
realize his hope of navigating the
northeast passage to the Atlantic be-
cause two members of his party dis
obeyed orders and left their chief
marooned on Melville Island in 1915
without a ship.
The two, Captain Gonzales and
Mate Seymour, of the schooner Mary
Sachs, one of Stefanssons fleet, were
instructed in 1914 to take the Sachs
In 1915 to Stefansson's base on Mel
vile Island. Instead, Captain Allan
asserted they beached her at Banks
land, about five hundred miles west
OF Melville Island. When Stefans-
son found he was rnarooned, he
abandoned his plans to go east and
made the trip to Banks on foot over
the ice. From Melville Island 10 the
Atlantic navigation is comparative
ly easy, Captain Allan said.
Captain Joe Barnard, another Arc
tic trader who commanded the Teddy
Bear, another of Stefansson's fleet,
is now endeavoring to negotiate the
northeast passage aboard her, Cap
tain Allan asserted.
Stefansson and the members of
his Canadian Arctic expedition are
wtntering at Barter Island, off the
Alaskan Arctic coast. Captain Allan
said. The explorer expects to make
1O0-mile trip north over the ice
next summer and return to civiliza-
ton in the fall, by way of Nome,
Alaska.
Captain Allan, on his trip to Seat
tie, made a 1,200-mile "mush" be-
hind dog team over the snow trails
from Herchel Island, in the Arctic,
to Chitina, the head of the Copper
river railroad. He carried dispatch
es to the Canadian government at
Ottawa from Stefansson and filed
them at the Fort Yukon, Alaska,
telegraph office. AS they were sign
ed by Stefansson, the Canadian
government announced recently the
explorer was on his way outside"
and had reached Yukon.

Conservation of Foods
Urged in All Churches

Conservation of food was urged by
every Harrisburg pastor in church
services yesterday. following the re-
quest of the Food Administration.
The proclamation of Howard Heinz,
State Food Administrator was read,
and addresses and sermons advocated
the saving of food for the use of the
allied nations. Serious food short
ages in these countries combine with
shipping delays and cause hunger and
starvation. These facts are set forth
in MIR. Heinz's proclamation. which
calls for observance of meatless and
wheatless days by all people. Seventy
vania do not observe these days.

road. The keen competition of auto
mobile men, he said. would make 1t
impossible for the railroad to Install
better passenger service. He recon-
mended that the railroad be permit
ted to charge the maximum freight
rates, as the shipments in his opinion
were so small that this allowance
would have to be granted the railroad
in order to secure the operating ex
penSes.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Commissioner Bean asked suggestions
from both sides, with the view Of
settling the matter Immediately. Ma
ior Houck offered to operate at least
two trains a week between Jackson
and Perryvi!le. provided that some
outside assistance be given, as the
road was lacking the funds for the
necessary repairs. 1t was he who Sug-
geSted that the appropriation be asked

offered the records of the railroad as
evidence to prove that the railroad was
running and operated at loss.
