THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER
 SUSPECT IT
Applicants For Insurance Often
 Reflected

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very suc- cessful in overcoming these condi- tions. The mild and healing in- fluence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the high est for its remarkable record of suc- cess.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing state ment that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are reject ed is because kidney trouble Is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, med ium and large.
 However, if you wish to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer &Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention the Alaska Daily Empire. Juneau. Alaska.-adv

NEW YORK REPORTERS ACTIVE.

A campaign of than usual activity is being undertaken by the reformers in New York State in their efforts to have certain legislation enacted by the State lawmakers who in session at AL bany. lawyer said to be counsel for the Lords Day Alliance is heading the reformers' activities
 One of the things set for accomplishment is the enactment of a law prohibiting the sale of beer for medicinal purposes The reformers also de- termined to create agencies for the enforcement of the national prohibition amendment and to that end working for act authorizing municipalities to pass local dry enforcement ordinances. They are also out to get tight Sunday lid" and two blanks in that program is the closing of poolrooms and dance halls Sunday and the repeal of laws grant ing local option Sunday motion pictures and Sunday baseball. Other laws desired by the reform CTS are
 Repeal of the Walker Boxing Law.
 Tightening of the Anti-Gambling Law to eliminate racetrack betting
 Legislation banning the put and take tops.
 The Liberals also actively advocating certain legislative enacements for the purpose of lberazing "stringent" laws already the statute books but they cannot point to any such ambitious program as the reformers. Among the things advocates by the Liberals Repeal of the Mullen-Gage (Sate) Dry Enforcement Act; Repeal of the law creating State Motion Picture Censorship Commissions; Permitting those who observe Saturday the Sabbath to keep their places of business open Sundays.

pretty regularly for period running well ih'o months but the Secretary of Treasury still sticks to hs job showing no signs of quitting nor are there any indications that President Harding feels called upon sacrifice perfectly good official at the behest certain disgrunted politicians and wouldbe states men to whom MT. Mellon is apparently anathema
 MT. Mellon is said to have aroused the opposition of two of the strongest elements in Congress-the agricultural bloc and the drys-both of which lind some of his ideas on taxation obnoxious The former have never been pleased with Mellons appointment, presumably being afraid the moneyed interests would be unduly favored in administration of the Treas ury Department. Senator LaFoettes outbreak as re- ported in recent press despaches in which he charged the interests with having taken the Govern things that were at least thought if not said about Secretary Mellons appointment.
 President Harding has not been unaware of what has been going on but the fight the Secretary has not caused the former to relax any of the friendly relations existing between them. Only recently 1t was let be known from the White House that the fight oust MT. Mellon hopeless and that the President regarded it fight personal friend as well of his most valued assistants
 MT. Melons unpopularity has been the result of his disposition handle his job he would the chairmanshp of important financial institution, rather than politician among politicians. He has forgotten that his position has political side and that is important. Nothing could show this more clearly than his outspoken opposition to the enactment of bonus legislation at this time. While he may have earned of the respect of his enemies in this matter least he has not added to his popularity.

CAMPAIGN TOO LENGTHY.

Whatever one may think regarding Alaskas pri- mary election laws and system, reflection will serve to show that much time elapses between the time for the last filings of declaration of candidates and the of the general election. For instance all candidates desiring enter the primaries to be held the last Tuesday in April compelled to have filed their declarations yesterday In 60 days the primaries but between yesterday and the date of the general election almost eight and one-half months intervene.
 Eight and one-half months to make campaign which should at the very longest not be four months. Sixty days Is not too great time in which to make in the primaries but six months between primaries and the general election is un- necessary and accomplishes nothing beneficial to the Territory. It adds to the expense of the various candidates and is not small factor in limiting the number of candidates seeking office. There are few Alaskans, aside from small number of professional politicians, who afford devote the greater part of year to making political campaign. And even did they incline that way the cost is too great It Is to be hoped that the Legislature, if it does nothing else to Alaska election laws, will have the courage and common to at least advance the primary election date to within reasonable dis tance of the general election, if it be thought desirable fix the date of the general election earlier in the year.

THE IMPORT TRADE OF CHINA.

China is entirely dependent upon foreign machn erf and methods for the development of natural re the creation of industrial organization according to the National Bank of Commerce in Ne' York in the January issue of it's magazine Commerc Monthly, and it is surprising that there should keen international competition for Chinese trade. Continuing the statement says:
 Despite a very low average standard of living the absene of industrial development makes China a large of foreign goods Japan, the British Empire and the United States the chief competitions and it is of interest note that since the close of the war imports into China from Great Britain and the United States have more than doubled in value while those from Japan hape slight ly declined Imports have been increasing steadily in the past decade, except for the period and in 1920 reached total of 72G million Haikwan taels. the equivalent of slightly billion dollars at the average rate of exchange for that year.

Reds Bump Giants

New York, Aug 1.-The Gianis going down for the third time, touch ed bottom yesterday. They closed their unhappy home stand by losing their third straight to the Cincinnati Reds, to 3. Jack Scott was knock ed out of the lot by the 4Redlegs. Frank Frisch was put out of the same lot by Cy Riger When Claude Jon nard, the undertaken, hastened onto the scene at twilight, the bubbles were beginning to rise over the spot where the champions were last seen.
 That was the end of the western invasion of the Polo Grounds. The Giants opened with a grand flourish -four out of five from the dangerous Cardinals-and ended on a melan- choly minor key. Four straight lost to the Pirates, three straight to the Reds and two out of five to the Cubs seven victories in 17 games within the friendly shadows of Coogans S Bluff. What they will accomplish in the unfriendly shadows of western bluffs beginning next Tuesday, is a matter that is said to be giving John McGraw food for much speculation.
