THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER

Avulieatisns for Insurance Often
 Rejected

.Iudring from reports from drug rists who are constantly in direct fouch with the public, there Is one T-eparstion that has been very suc- e,csSfui in overcoming these condi- lions. The mild and healing influence of pr. Kflmers Swamp-Root is soon -eaItzed. It stands the highest fo2 f-s remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of ths prominent Life Insurance Com nsiues. in an interview of the sub feet. make the astonishing statement That one reason why 50 many appli- csnts for insurance are rejected Is because kidney trouble is so common 10 the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that fhev have the disease. Dr. Kilners swamp Root Is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.

Jersey City. N. J.. Jan. Young Bob Fitxsimmons, son of the former wcrid's Heavyweight champion, SCOT ed a decisive victory tonight in his second appearance in the ring. His opponent, Eddie West of Newark, qult in the seventh round of an eight round match after receiving a continual rain of blows from the start Of the bout FitzSimmons weighed III pounds and West 163.
 Young Bob engaged in his first real contest almost thirty years from the date his famous father won the mid dleWeiglt title from Jack Dempsey, the ttnonpareil." The young lighter resembled the former champion in the face and by his clever footwork but the similarity did not go as far as his punches which lacked force.
 Fitzsimmons, who was in splendid condition. forced the fighting at a ter rife pace and sent in blows so quick ly that West did not get a chance to start a good punch. relying mainly on wild swings. These were easily block ed or lodged. Although Fitzsimmons did not use his right with effect until the sixth round, the referee showed an inclination in the fifth to halt the contest as West seemed somewhat groggy. West protested and the bout went onto IflS SSVSHlHJ WiACii W Soh AC7 tired. The losers left eye closed aft CT the third round from hard left jabs and hooks.
 .Jackis Clark of Allentown outfought Tommy Robson of Boston in every round of an eight round bout. Each weighed 109 pounds.
 Gene Tuney of New York, light heavyweight champion of the A. B. F., knocked out Jim Monaghan of New York in the first round in two minutes and fifty seconds. Each weighed 175 pounds.
 Mickie Belmont of Newark knocked out Johnny Buff of Newark, who re- gently fought a hard bout with Jack Sharkey. Buff won the first round but went down for count of nine in the second from right uppercut and was counted out after receiving three left hooks. Delmnt weighed 12o pounds and Buff 115.

HARVARD WANTS HENLEY
 REGATTA DATE SET AHEAD

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 26-An in- formal request has been sent to Eng land that the dates of the English Henley regatta be advanced 8 week so that Harvard university may send a crew to defend. and Yale possibly challenge for the Grand Challenge Cup, it was learned today. The re- quest was contained in a letter from a man closely in touch with Harvard rowing and was addressed to an Eng fish rowing enthusiast whose interests are associated closely with the Hen ley stewards.
 regatta now scheduled to begin June 30, Harvard, which holds the cup through the victory of it's crew in the last Grand Challenge race, could not defend because there would be no time to send a crew to England after the Yale Harvard regatta at New London June D.

 Club owners of the Pacific Coast league have suggested a "rogues gal lery'' of baseball gamblers as a means 1 of expressing professional betting at

 As it now stands the Brooklyn club has a wealth of infield candidates and not an extra outfielder and WiIbert Robinson is already thinking of devel- oping one of the infielders, probably Douglas Baird, into an outfield reg

 During thirteen years as a major
 league ball player, Ed. konetchy, of the Dodgers, has led the league six times as fielding first baseman. In 1911 and again in 1916 he took part in every game played by his club. An idea of why Col. Ruppert and Huston bought Babe Ruth from the

MAY SEEK TO STOP
PAYMENT OF
SALARIES

In his decision. the Comptroller
said, The Congress has negatived
the employment OF an army officer
IN civil position, and the control of
he War Department over the officer
i3 consistent with the control and
enforcement of the requirements of
the civil branch OF the Government"
Such decision was requested by
THE Reclassificat ZIONIST" following
the printing by that paper OF an ar
ticle in which the employment OF an
army officer In the Bureau OF War
Risk was cited. Reference also was
made to the similar employment OF a
naval officer.
These cases were bitterly assailcd
and declared to be an effort to mill
tarize the civil branches OF the Gov
crnment. 1t was hinted that II was
one way of creating bcrths for an
overabundance of officers who other
wise would be cut OF jobs since the
war is over.
1t was further declared that the
two cases related were not isolate d,
but that there was a general tendency
to employ army and navy officers in
this wise.
The Observation-Disclosures" this morn
ing announced ii would press its
night. and II no other remedy can b"
found it is likely an effort will be
made to hold up the pay vouchers of
the officers alluded to.
1t was declared that this could be
cone in view OF the decision OF the
Comptroller of the Treasury.

FINDS One OFFICER
TO EVERY FIVE
CIVILIANS

The Reclassificat tionfst, in it's cur
rent publication issued today, under
the title OF Chasing Commas" de-
clares that there Is one ofncer' to
every five civilian employees In the
War Department.
There were on June 30, 1920, on
service in the bureaus OF the War
Department in this city, approxt-
mately / .i30 officers Of the army,
whose pay and allowances. IL we use
the low average OF $1,000 per annum.
total approximately 81 500. 900 yearly"
the article states.
This is in the proportion OF one Of
ficer to every five civilian employees of
all classes in the bureaus Of the de-
partment. II does not include officers
OF the Army War College, the Army
Medical School and other places out
side OF the department proper.
mo consideration whatever Is
thought to be necessary to make 1t
plain to anyone that the military
work to be performed in connection
with the War Department in this city,
which ia civil establishment, calls
for no such proportion OF commits
stoned officers OF the army"
THE Rcclassificationist" asks the
question: Then, what are they do
ingr In answer to which it says:
"One OF these officers, who is capa-
Bile and who probably found his task
onerous, recently described his duty
as chasing commas. He meant by
that that he was doing simple clerical
work.
"Colonels sjors and captains arc
in charge of files. although there ap-
pears to be nothing in the military
textbooks on the subject of hling,
and nothing to indicate to the
aspirant after military honors that a
knowledge Of record-keeping is re-
quisite to the winning of battles.
"Other officers are doing work for
which, before the war, the depart
nent never paid more than sixty or
seventy dollars "A month and did not
require the candidate for the job to
be a graduate of West Point or be
qualified to pass the examination for
n second lieutenant.
When you sec a colonel, whose
services under the new scale cost the
government approximately at least
$4,000 per annum. bending over
desk and drawing lines upon chart
to indicate graphically the condition
of the work of the clerks in file
room, you cannot help but feel that
the money would be better expended
in paying good Ale clerks instead Of
one poor colonel who would be con-
tent to be employed in that way"
