During the 18th century it |caused a tweifth of all deaths in England. Its fa- |tality rate was one in five, and most of those who survived the disease were disfigured. Wars especially seemed to encourage smallpox The disease struck Roman armies in 166 A. D. It |took heavy toll through the wars of the Middle Ages. jand both North and South suffered heavily from it |in the Civil War. In World War I there was a sharp increase. But the total number of cases was low ‘cumpnx'cd with those of previous wars—because vac- |cination was more prevalent. | The present outbreak small in the total of |cases reported. But the effect has been great in | demonstrating the readiness of our medical agencies iLo meet the situation.

HEART AND HOME: Housekeep- ers who have not disposed of every- thing that is not needed in the way of clothing and junk of every rt should now reduce their posses- sions to the smallest possible am- ounts. The simple life with all su- perfluities removed is recommended by seers who foretell for the United States a peroid of supreme sacrifice. Perils are forecast for certain. parts of the country where what is least| expected will happen. This may mean sabotage and fires which are; the work of secret enemies within| the United States. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: As the new Congress gets into full swing| there are planetary aspects that presage opposition to the President, | aspecially where public moneys are, THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA 20 YEARS AGO ¥ sumrire FEBRUARY 16, 1923 The Eastern Star was planning to have the annual ball on Easter Monday, April 12, according to announcements made. The affair was to be held in Elks' Hall with the Coliseum Theatre Orchestra furnishing the music. S. District Attorney A. G. Shoup left on the Princess Mary for Seattle on his way to San Francisco on court business. He was accom- panied by Mrs. Shoup and their two children. They expected to be absent from town about four weeks. Mis. George Getchell, wife of Deputy U. S. Marshal Getchell, was a Juneau passenger aboard the Northwestern after spending several weeks visiting in the States. Fourteen teachers of the Juneau Public Schools signed a statement for publication in which they asserted that the schools were efficiently run, well disciplined and complete harmony maintained in the system. In signing the statement they stated they wished to correct an impression created by a few misinformed and uninformed critics who, being un- qualified to pass judgment were thoughtlessly trying to tear down an institution built up by years of work, thought and care. Signing the i statement were Grace V. Bishop, Alice Morrison, M. Carnahan, Rae Hen- derson, Lora C. Sheets, Imelda Fietsam, Howard G. Hughes, Mabel Gaz- 20l0, Iva A. Tilden, Grace H. Davis, Hilda M. Kohl, V. Bourgette, Alma Meacham and Emma Ueland. John Abrahamson, of the Pheasant crew, was swept overboard near Speel River during a severe wind storm on February 14 when the Pheasant was towing a boom of logs to the pulp mill. A gust of wind picked up the skiff on board and hurled it against Abrahamson, throwing him off the vessel. He swam to the boom and was rescued by Mac Mc- Innes who was in a row boat. Lafe Spray, Deputy Clerk of the U. S. District Court, returned to his duties at the Court House after being away on a 30-day vacation. Rain or snow were forecast by the United States Weather Bureau. Maximum temperature was 27 and minimum was 26. P Daily Lessons in English % | corbon involved. Uncertainties may be re-| flected in Wall Street. The nation-| al debt will alarm many cautious bankers and financiers who will! counsel the utmost economy in Government expenditures which do not affect war allotments. When Mars in Sagittarius encouraged spending without special regard to| thrift or small details the seers warned of financial headaches which may be prevalent in Wash-l ington long before mid-summer. The public soon will learn that it| is imperative to buy bonds until the effort really hurts. NATIONAL ISSUES: Distrlbu- tion and utilization of man- pawer— and women power too—become of | Paramount importance at this time. Portents are threatening to the! afety of civilians in all parts of merely inconveniences through ex-| tended rationing, but astrologers forecast extreme enemy activity di-| rected against the United States.| Extra precautions in guarding in- dustrial plants, oil production cen-| |ters and transportaiton facilities | are urged. Vigilance should be re-| coubled instead of relaxed. INTERNATIONAL AF‘FAIHS Owing to the influence of Uranus {in transit through Gemini many\ changes in war methods will be ap- parent in the Spring when secretw diplomacy will affect the destmy‘ of nations. Generals and admirals who command our forces will dif- IIN' from statesmen in policies of | world-wide importance. Victories | will be won by the brains of the| United Nations and not alone by | arms which merely enforce tm{ iplans of heroic commanders. The seers warn that interference or crit- icism of the heroes on fields of battle and on the high seas is dangerous. | Persons whose birthdate it is | have the augury of a year of suc-| cess through unexpeeted experience.| Courage and initiative will be well {rewarded. | Children born on this day prob-| ably will be fortunate in money matters as well as in love affairs. They may be too anxious for change and adventure for their best in- terests. | WASTAGE HigH Subject of an interesting check by the U. $. Department of Agri- culture is the question of wastage percentage of various fresh veget- ables and fruits, results of which survey have been released in the department’s circular No. 549. A few astonishing examples re- vealed are: lima beans, 60 percent wastage; green corn, 62 percent; green peas, 55 percent; cantaloupes, broccoli, and watermelon, 53 per- cent each; cauliflower, 56 percent; globe artichokes, 52 percent; celery, 37 percent; cucumbers, 30 percent; endive, 48 percent; asparagus, 25 percent; earrots (tops and scrap- ings), 27 percent, and lettuce, 37 percent. Vegetables that place most on the table and least in the garbage can, according to the survey, are: toma- \toes, 2 percent; onions, 6 percent; sngp heans, 10 percent; potatoes, 16 percent. Among. fruits, average wastage is | 17 percent, although pineapples go up to 47 percent; bananas, 33 per- cent, and oranges, 28 percent, while apples and peaches show only 12 percent loss; plums, 15 percent; oranges, 28 percent, and avocadas, 25 percent. Based on such figures as these, fresh food costs need to be re- examined in the light of food values recelved and the careful housewife will consider these factors, agricul- turists predict.
