TIMBER WOLVES
 VERY NUMEROUS
Indian Funeral Procession at Katalla Carries Guns for
 Safety

Much to the annoyance Of tho in- Ihabltants. both white and native, a large pack of timber wolves, driven north by the bounty hunters of south eastern Alaska. has put in its ap- pearance at Katalla, where they are making life disagreeablc for every body concerned.
 A number of bounty hunters will start out today to try to clean up the band. but will probably only sue ceed in driving them off. It is feared that because of the heavy snows, the wolves will not attempt to cross the coast range to the caribou country north of the Yukon and on the Mac lkenzle river delta. but will continue northward along the coast until they strike the domesticated reindeer herds on the Kuskokwlm and along the shores of Boring sea.
 If the wolves once get into the reindeer country the herders doubt less will suffer considerable loss, The reindeer herds are valued at more than S2,OOO.OOO. and few packs of wolves would soon wipe them out.
 The wolves clrcled Katalla not three blocks from the main street, and made tho night hideous with their howls; they have footed every chicken house in the camp, and sev- eral dogs have been rounded up and killed by the invaders.
 Mrs. Charles Naughton, going to her woodpile. encountered a big tim ber wolf in the yard She drove the animal off with a club.
 The Indians say they have no tra- dition of a visitation of this kind. They never have heard of such a thing and. like the white people, who escort their children to school un- der arms, the natives arc applying safety first" principles. An Indian funeral was held at Katalla recently. Tho cemetery is about a mile from town. and each of the large crowd Of mourners who attended, carried either a rifle or a shotgun in the pro- cession.-Cordova Times.

How to Select a Mate

Here are some of the rules for the selection Of a mate put forth by the Life Extension Institute.
 Learn to analyzo individuals into their inheritable traits-physical. mental and moral
 Differcntiate between socially no- ble and ignoble traits, between so- cial and educational veneer and ster- ling inherent capacity.
 Do not expect physical, mental and moral perfection in any one mdivid- ual. but look for a majority of ster- ling traits.
 Join your family line to one that is strong in respect to the traits in which yours is weak.
 But remember also that injuries can be inflicted on offspring by un- Ihygicnlc living.
 In addition to the rules of health eugenics. Professor Fisher says that people who want to live long should avoid the hurry habit, should culti- vate a religion Of healthy-minded- ness. should learn to control their attention, should moderate their de- sires and also cultivate the habit of happiness.
 "I know a very wise physician who prescribed to a business man worry ling over his financial responsibili- ties that he start each day by say ling over Co himself for five minutes: ! T don't give a hang, l don't give a hang" Professor Fisher concluded.
 so here we are-all together now! IIf we want to live long and prosper ihygienically:
 "we don't give a hang! We don't give a hang"

Fifteen Rules for Long Life

"In collaboration with the scien- lists who are members of our board, " Prof Fisher said, "Dr. Eugene Ly- man Fisko and have prepared a book of which tho title is How to Live" In this book we place the rules of health at 15." They are:
 1. vontilate every room you oc- cupy.
 9. Wear light, loose and porous clothes.
 8. Seek out-of-door occupations and recreations.
 4. Sleep out, if you can.
 8. Breathe deeply.
 6. Avoid oyeroating and over weight.
 2. Eat sparingly of meats and eggs.
 8. Eat some hard, some bulky and some raw foods.
 9. Eat slowly.
 10. Cleanse the body thorough ly, regularly and frequently of its waste.
 II. Stand. sit and walk erect. 12. Do not allow polsons and in- fections to enter the body.
 13. Keep the teeth, gums and tongue clean.
 IA. Work, play, rest and sleep in moderation.
 10. Keep serene.

Alcohol Called Poison

Professor Fisher includes alcohol among the poisons which must not be allowed to enter the body.
 Alcohol is not a real brain stim- ulant." Professor Fisher said, but acts by narrowing the field of con- seriousness. The man who wakes up under alcohol is really going to sleep as for as his Judgment and reason are concerned. Complete abolition of consciousnoss is brought about by sufficient doses. as when ether or chloroform are taken.
 "Undor moderate doses muscular efficiency is at first increased lit- Gle and then lowered, the total et- feet being a loss in working power"

CENTURY MARK
 EASILY REACHED
Some Sensible Scientific Rules Given for Prolongation of Human
 Life

Chauncey NJ. Depew told the mem bers of the New York academy re- gently that thousands of people have died prematurely just because King David fixed the duration of human life at three score and ten" Mir. Depew. who at S2 is as alert physi- cally and mentally as he was twenty years ago. said King David died in the early seventies because 'he had led the llte." "A man can live to be 1OO." Mir. Depew added.
 Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale univer- sity. who is chairman of the hygien- ic reference board of the Life Exten- sion institute. Of New York, says he agrees with Mir. Depew that per sons who lead simple. healthful lives should live to be 100 and ulti- mately may do SO.
 But have no opinion as to King David" added the Yale professor of political economy who is regarded generally as the ablest lay authority on health problems in the country today.
 "We Americans have inherited me- dieval indifference to the human body" Prof. Fisher continued. "For that reason tho average duration of Ilife in the United States is 90 years This is three years more than it was eight years ago, when I was a mem ber of Roosevelt's conservation board and made a report on national vital.
Douglas Island news., 1916-12-22
Century of Life Possible

"Then I placed the average dura- ton Of life in the United States at 47. The life of the mammals other than man is five times the period of growth. Now. man attains his full growth in about % years It seems reasonable. therefore. to hope that our life period may be prolonged to 100 years at least when the rules of mental and physical health are generally understood and followed. |"
 Prof Fisher had come to New York for a meeting of the Life Ex- tension Institute, which has William II. Taft for its chairman of board of directors and numbers on its advis- ory board the leading scientists and health authorities of the United States. including Maj.-Gen William .C. Gorges, Surg. Gen. Rupert Blue, of the United States public health service; Herman M Biggs, health commissioner Of New York; Alex ander Graham Bell, and c. B. Dav- enport, director of the eugenlcs re- cord office at Cold Springs Harbor. The institute was founded by Harold A. Ley. a millionaire philanthropist. and Professor Fisher. It's purpose is to diffuse knowledge of the prin- ccciples Of hygienic living through out the country.

Right Age to Marry

The advocate of life extension thinks it most desirable to marry between % and 30, when the period of growth has been attained. "I be- Ileye that as soon as women acquire the knowledge that their choice Of a mate will determine whether or not their physical and mental thoughts and their virtues will re- appear in their children they will feel a sacred responsibility toward marriage"
