sers to Follow Health Rules

close next Wednesday and during
the last few days it is hoped that
most of the health bonds can be
sold.
To-day Christmas seal booths

his farewell appearance.
1,5OO in Middletown Theater

More than 1900 school children of
that borough and vicinity crowded
into the Realty theater to see him,
and when he finally climbed to the
stage there wasn't even standing
room in the large auditorium.
During his visit to Harrisburg
Cho-Cho was seen by at least H.
600 school children of the city,
Steelton. Highspire and Middletown.
Tomorrow he will be at Yonkers,
New York, and after that he will
appear in cities in Virginia and

nous in their opinion that Cho-
Cho's work in the city has been of
much value to the youngsters, bene-

Chairman Hays, of the National

Harmony was reported as a fea-

reports from the states and de-
cisions upon ways and means for
campaigns in the states, more than
passing notice was paid to the
probable issues, national as well as
local.
Efforts by the opposition to make
out a case of Republicans side
stepping on the League of Nations
question were met by with square
statements in informal discussion
following the lead of earlier state
ments by Chairman Hays. who an
nounced that answers to his broad
cast queries had not touched to any
great extent on the League.
The substance of expressions of
the State Committeeman was that
they were for a League of Nations

sovereignty.

The lid of hell' has again been part
ly lifted and given us a brief glimpse Of
the fiery interior. incidentally causing
the loss Of fifteen thousand lives. 1t
would seem as though wholesale death
was the accompaniment Of prolific life,
for picturesque Java. one Of the most
luXuriantly fertile regions on earth, is
also one of the most treacherous. More
volcanic disturbances have occurred
there during the last half century than
in any other portion of tho earth equal
in size. and more lives lost.
Greatest of all eruptions in history
was that which occurred on the night Of
August 26. 1883, on Krakatoa, a little
islet off the western end Of Java, which
was literally blown to pieces by the ex-
ploson of subterranean forces Its
mountain peak. nearly 5000 feet high,
was rent into dust and thrown miles
high in the air. while Of the $50 acres Of
its surface very little remains to tell the
tale of disaster to-day. The sound Of
the explosion was heard for a distance
Of 5000 miles and the shock caused such
a banking up and return of the waters
Of the Sunda Strait that more than
thirty thousand persons were drowned.
Their bodies Allied the surrounding sea
for weeks.
Krakatoa was something like Mont
Pelee in its destructiveness, nearly
thirty thousand persons being killed by
the eruption in Martinique, where the
whole side OF the mountain was blown
out to sea, but that was because the
town Of st. Pierre was directly in the
path Of the volcanic blasts. Most of the
island was spared. The present disaster
appears to have been less than that in
Java of 1888 and it's American counter
part in 1902, but the loss of fifteen
thousand lives ranks among the great
calamities of history.
Quite possibly Americans may see
some of the effects of this latest catas-
trophe. Those who are old enough will
readily remember the magnificent red
sunsets that gradually spread all over
the world. due, scientists said. to finely
divided Krakatoa pumice stone thrown
miles high in the atmosphere and thence
disseminated very slowly over India

skies glowed with a radiance never seen
before. This was attributed to the suns

MEAT FROM ALASKA
The Reindeer Arc Already Producing n
Substantial Surplus
From the San Francisco Chronicle)

From the San Francisco Chronicle)
The introduction OF reindeer into Alaska
was distinctly a government enterprise,
and the industry is still administered and
controlled in a decidedly paternal fashion.
And, moreover. it is 4 great success and
credit to the Bureau of Education Of
the Interior Department, which has had
charge of the industry. The Chronicle Is
always looking for opportunities to COM
pliment Il government bureau, and is de-
lighted when, as in this case. it finds
one.
Last year there was already the begin
ming of a surplus of reindeer meat in
Alaska, and a considerable number Of
carcasses were sent down. They were
handled, however, by clubs, high livers
and high-priced hotels as a rarity, and,
therefore, an expensive luxury. Reindeer
meat has not. and perhaps for some time
will not, be found in our markets as a
staple food product on competitive price
basis.
The importation from Lapland began
in 1892, and in the course of ten years the
aggregate of importations reached 1880
animals. There are now in the Territory
about 10000 deer, well scattered over its
immense area, and the foundation Of a
large industry has been laid.
Nearly all the Territory produces the
moss which is the main need of the rein
deer and with the rapid increase which
may be expected from now on it appears
certain that within very short time
there will be a growing surplus of meat
for export While for the present the
shipping season from most of the Terri
tory will be short, the facilities for cold
storage are so abundant and cheap that
no difficulty can arise from that cause
This country never made better bar
gain than in the purchase of Alaska for
T5U,OOO. Its gold and copper mines and
its fisheries net more than the entire
cost of the Territory every year. It's
coal will soon be available, and the
prospect for meat from Alaska seems
excellent.
