Thereafter tho act of 1921, supra, was passed which changed the assessment period from the calendar to the fiscal year and specified that the period should commence ct 12 o'clock meridian of July 1 succeeding the da.c of lacatiCn. Il also extend cd the assessment period of 1921 to 12 o'clock noon, Jaly 1, 1922.
 "Thls was a general act applying 10 all unpatented claims including those in Alaska. The purpose and scope of the act is indicated in it's ritle as quoted above. By consider ing this act in connection with the suspension laws and tho special placer act of 1912. the intent of Con gross can be clearly discerned an the provisions of each act given due operation. The act of 1912 WIS spe cial and detailed in it's requirements It was designated to correct fer the future certain undesirable conditions existing in the Territory and applied to every placer claim thereafter io- cated in Alaska. Specifically it re- quired assessment work during each year. including the year of location. The calendar year then constituted the assessment year. There was no purpose or intent to repeal the re- qt.irement relating to assessment work for the year of location.

 Act of 1921 Controls
 The language of the act of 1921 to the effect that the assessment period shall commence at 12 o'clock meridian on July 1 succeeding the date of location is not applicable in Us literal form to Alaska placars To- cated since the passage Of the act. for the reason that the special act of 1912 still controls and exeepts such claims in that respect from the general law just as 1t did from the act of 1880, which is now amended by said act of 1921 The special act of 1912 did not undertake to fix or define the assessment period; that was determined by the proyl- sions of the act of 1850 as the cal endar year.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE ANE NEVER
 SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in over coming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmcr's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kid ney trouble is so common to the Amer ican people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. r., for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.AAdv.
