In 1890 he was a member of the posse of g prospectors and traders who trailed an Indian up the Koyukuk from the mouth, and took him to the mouth of the river, tried him before a miners meeting and hang ed him for the murder of John Bremner, who was killed by the Indian at point on the Koyukuk. This was one of the first executions in the Yukon, and had great effect on making good Indians of others who might want to defy the white mans laws. MT. Bettles will tell of his murder and execution and other similar cases in the publica- tion of his book
 One of the earliest murders of whites on the lower Yukon was when Mrs. Bean, wife of a trader, was slain in 1878. Lieut.. Bernard was murdered by massacre at Stony River and a Russian trader fell vic tim in 1851.

It resembles the bones of the huge animal Five big, spraWling toe bones, and connecting bones running back and including the heel are perfectly formed. The inn print is about l6 inches long.

 Bettles moved up the Koyukuk in 1894 to a place called Arctic City, now no longer on the map. Next year he moved to Bergman. also now in the limbo of forgotten towns. In 1896 he established Bettles, still an outpost of note, and was there five years. He had the first steamboat on the Koyukuk known as the Roy ukuk. When the big Klondyke stam pede brought flood of people to the Yukon, 58 steamboats nosed their way up the Koyukuk and spent the winter of 1908 there.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN.

MOST Of us estimate our weight according TO the
WI usual height. weight and age tables issued by
various organizations. These tables calculated
for persons Of average build.
Unfortunately. there are not many persons Of
average build. There are far of unusual build
However. doctors who give particular attention to
these questions Of weight realize that person is
usually little safer from the point of view of
health II he Is slightly overweight under the age of
80. and slightly underweight after that age.
II YOU really are overweight and past middle age
there are good reasons why YOU should DO some
thing 70 bring down your weight. Every pound Of
extra tissue means extra work for the heart.
IF there is excess fat in Tie body. this fat may
l. actually get into the heart muscle and weaken it.
Moreover. fat persons are more likely to get gall
bladder diseases and diabetes than thin persons
a very small percentage Of persons are definitely
overweight because of some peculiar action of their
glands These however represent the smallest per-
centage.
The gland usually involved is the thyroid gland
Of which the secretion is closely ASSOCIATED with the
rate at which the body burns up food to produce
energy.
There are two ways Of reducing weight One is
10 increase the amount Of energy used up. and the
other 10 reduce the amount of fuel
There are various ways Of increasing the energy
burned up. Exercise is one way.
I UNFORTUNATELY. it is hard to get persons to
- take enough exercise 10 burn up much fuel.
MoTeoNer We are so constituted traJ SlghJ amounts
Of exercise increase our appetiteS and cause us TO
eat more than VIC would ordinarily.
There are certain drugs which may be taken to
speed up the consumption Of fuel. For example.
extracts Of the thyroid gland and dnitrophenol All
those are dangerous and should never be taken ex-
cept under careful supervision Of a doctor.
The best way 10 reduce Is 10 cut down the diet.
In doing this. fadS OF all kinds should be avoided.
Such dietary notions the lamb chop and pine
apple diets the tomato and cottage cheese diets and
the lS-dsy diet D nciouS. They will cause
reduction in weight if adhered TO- but few persons
follow them for very long.
