MURDER MYSTERY IN
 KETCHIKAN GOES BEGGING

Another week has passed with two suspects still in jail for the murder of G. P. Marshall on Monday, October 20, and with the safe which was stolen from the murder boat" and the skiff from the same boat still missing,
 Under the direction of District Attorney H. D. Stabler a special investigation is rechecking all of the evidence, with a view of making formal charges against the suspects, or turning them loose if the evidence is insuf- ficient.
 The officers fell certain that there are some people not con- nected with the crime who could give important information if they were sure that such 1n- formation would be considered as confidential.
 T can add," said MT. Stabler, "that any information given this office will be treated as strictly confidential. We are interested only in the solving this murder mystery and not in what a man may have been or is, and noth- ing given us in confidence, will be used save that it has direct bearing upon the murder or murdererS.

 SHOWS 6 FINGERS, 6 TOES

Policeman Mike Greeleaf, of the Centralia fingerprint bureau, found himself confronted with a bigger job than he anticipated recently. Ray Bickerton, va grant, was scheduled to be fin gerprinted before his release.
 That standard Identification card has places for five fingers. Bickerton's hand, though has six fingers.
 Lets see your other hand, the officer said. Six fingers on other hand too.
 That ain't all," the prisoner said, and he took off his shoes and sock. Each foot had six toes, all normal in appearance.
 Bickerton was released, but his record, sent everywhere in the Northwest and to federal de- partments, will probably prevent his taking up criminal career.

An eX- tract from a letter received from Dr. Clifford F. Jones, form CT Wrangell physician, is in teresting, however. Writing from Sioux City, Iowa, pr. Jones says:

Yesterday it was stated In
this column that anemia can
be controlled by eating half a
pound Of liver a day. The ques-
tion arose whether this is good
for all kinds Of anemia. The
answer is mo" We will dis
cuss today the kind Of anemia
in which 1t is effective.
The kind Of anemia that re-
spends so quickly to liver diet
is called "pernicious anemia."
The word pernicious was tackled
on it long before we had q
cure, and should not frighten
the patient who has 1t today.
But because that is the familiar
name by which it Is known, the
patient who has it probably will
have heard it and will want to
know the treatment: so in
spite Of its serious sound, we
will continue to use it.
It used to be considered a
rare disease. Improved methods
of blood examination, however,
have permitted us to recognize
it more frequently and for that
reason it appears nowadays to
be very common.
It occurs most frequently in
people Of middle age. The
general appearance of the pa
tient usually tells that some
thing is wrong. The color Of
the skin changes. The popular
opinion is that anemic patients
are white. But these patients
usually are a peculiar lemon
yellow color. Sometimes the
skin becomes brownish. The
weight does not, as a rule, go
down.
BY examination Of the blood
a well equipped modern physi.
clan can make a positive dag
nosis, in the great majority
of cases.
Why should liver or dried
stomach mucoSa do SO much
to retard the progress of the
disease? The answer opens
up a very interesting feature
of the disease. Not only is
the blood affected in the dis.
ease, but also there is a de-
generation Of the lining Of

DIET AND HEALTH
By DR.. Logan CIendening-

mucosa Of the stomach. No
gastric Juice whatever is Sc
creted. One Of the staple parts
Of the older treatment Of the
disease was to supply this de-
feet by giving the patient hydro.
cholic acid. Hydrocholic acid
is a necessary part Of the nor
NAL stomach secretion. In fact,
hydrochloric acid Is still ad-
ninistered as part Of the treat
ment, in spite Of the fact that
liver and ventriculin are also
given.
The theory is that, In health.
the lining Of the stomach and
the liver pour q substance into
the body which stimulates the
formation Of blood. This is
withdrawn in anemia and for
that reason the blood is thinned
and reduced in quality.
This blood stimulating sub
stance is what is supplied to the
body Of the anemic patient in
the diet of half a pound Of
cooked liver a day. DR.. Cohn,
a physiological chemist, isolated
the active portion Of whole
liver; this is obtainable, as we
said yesterday, in the form Of .
powder called oliver extract"
Another extract called "ven-
triculin" is made from the lining
Of the stomach. It was tried
out at the University of Michi-
gan on patients with pernicious
anemia and found to act equally
as we'll as liver extract.
