SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
When Back Hurts Flush Your Kid- neys as You Giean Your ROweIs


 Most folks forget that the kidneys. like the bowels. sometimes get sss- glsh and clogged ana need flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches. rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless- ness and all sorts or bladder disor- ders.
 You simply must keep your kid- neys, active and clean and the mo- ment you feel an acne or pain in the kidney region begin drinking lots of water. Also get about four ounces of lad Salts from ans good drug store here, take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for q few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous ralts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and is intended to flush clogged kidneys and help stimulate them to activity. It also helps neutralize the acids in the urine so they no longer irritate, thus help ing to relieve bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive: makes delightful effervescent lithia water drink which everybody should take now and then to help keep their kid- neys clean.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in trying to correct kidney trouble while it is only trouble. By all means have your physician exc amino your kidneys at least twice a year.

 of this country. as well as through out Europe. property has therefore been suppianted by earnings. profits and incomes as the test of taxable ability. This means practically the development on the one hand of the personal income tax, and, on the other hand, of the business tax, to in- clude not only corporations but other businesses In this way. only can we tap the increasing wealth of the com munity and make wealth bear its proper share of the obligation to sup port the schools.
 Hand in hand with this, however, must so a redistribution either of ed ucationsl functions or educational revenues. New statewide income taxes, or business taxes must be ap- portioned to the localities not simply according to population or wealth. but according to educational needs. With this reform at both ends of the pro- cess. the schools will be able to get ,their share of the increasing wealth of modern society
 Professor Robert Nj. Haig, of the II, Columbia university, said this in recent address delivered in Cleveland:
 TT should Ike to commend to your earnest consideration and pos sible support the program of the National Tax Association. The plan calls for the abandonment of the at- tempt to tax intangible personal property under the general property tax. It suggests supplementing the tax on tangible property with state- wide lcvies on personal and business incomes along the general lines worked out in the tax systems of New York, Massachusetts and Wis., consin. There is general agreement among those who have given thought to the problem that this program off, fers the next logical step in tax re- form in most of our states And | again Professor Fletcher Harper Swift. of the University of Minne- sota presents the following views in bulletin recently issued by the de- pertinent of the interior. He says:
 !" It has been shown
 "I. That the increasing numbers demanding education, and the in- creasing demands put upon the schools have led to enormous in- creases in expenditures.
 g. That there is every reason to believe that these expenditures will continue to increase rather than to decrease.
 "'3. That the states have insisted suore and more upon the recognition CT <he principle that schools are state, not ,cal institutions.
 That in direct violation of the principle, they have shelved more and more the burde; of school sup port and placed steadily increasing of the same upon local school units.
 "'5. That as result of this pol Icy the schools have continued to be Fundamentally and in fact local, not Btate. institutions. |.
 "'6. That educational opportuni- ' ties in the United States are not and never have been universal, demo- , cratic, free. "s7. That inequalities, fragrant and perhaps ominous for the nation exist In every state.

A new local record for sustained high temperature has been estab- lished this summer, accordingto M. B. Summers. Meteorological in charge of the local Weather Bureau station. Likewise, he added, after looking over the records, that not since the Jul neau office was established in 1917 has there been as many totally clear days as were recorded in this same period, the total being 24.
 From June 1st. to August 10th said MT. Summers. there have been 24 days on which the temperature rose to 70 degrees or above. This is a record for the past seven years, the greatest number of such days in an entire year heretofore being 23, in 1918 and 1920 In the year 1917 there were only eight days on which the mercury stood at 70 or exceeded that mark.

New Season Records Made Warm, Clear Days Prevail

Only once in the past 25 years has there been as little total rainfall in Juneau in the months of June, July and the first ten days of Au- gust as has been the case this sea son, said Mir. Summers. This was in 1911. the period mentioned having in that year total precipitation of 325 inches as compared to 5.53 this year. wf 5e
 Yesterday marked the end of a rainless period of Il consecutive days. This. however, according to MT Summers. is not unprecedented, as there have been a number of periods of equal or greater length during the past seven years. In 1921 there was no precipitation in the 13 days from November 18th to 26th, and in 1920 there were 19 conse- cutive days from July 3rd to July 2fst.

and some 200 of these visitors used the highway either going in or coming out. Three parties have been sent over the circle tour by the Service Travel Bureau of Los Angeles. This organization has guaranteed the rail road it will send 1000 tourists over it next season, said Col. Steese. The tour is finding popular favor with all who make it, he added.
 The railroad has already landed 6.OO0 tons of Mayo ore at Anchor age and another shipload of LIDO tons was due at Nenana when Col. Steese left for Juneau. The river division of the railroad is doing well, handling considerable quantities of freight down river for the mining camps in the lower Yukon, Kuskokwim and Koyukuk districts.
 Tourist travel on the river is small owing to the policy adopted by the White Pass and Canadian boats of discouraging individuals de- string to make this trip, Col Steese said no way of remedying this situa- ton had yet been devised.

 Col. Steese will remain here until about September 1st He is prepar- ing his annual report on the work of the Alaska Road Commission and his estimates for next years appropri ation for that organization.

dialogue was good and she touched
a pathetic note without straining.
Her pianologue numbers were as
original and appealing as her read
