PECULIAR AFTER Effects
OF GRIP THIS YEAR.
Leaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited so many homes.
The symptoms of grip this year are often
very distressing and leave the system in
run down condition, particularly the
kidneys which seem to suffer most, as
almost every victim complains of lame
back and urinary troubles which should
not be neglected, as these danger signals
often lead to dangerous kidney troubles.
Druggists report a large sale on DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root which so many
people say soon heals and strengthens
the kidneys after an attack of grip.
Swamp-ROot is a great kidney liver and
bladder remedy, and, being an herbal
compound, has a gentle healing effect
on the kidneys, which is almost imme-
diately noticed in most cases by those
who try it. DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton, N. Y, offer to send a sample
size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial win convince any one
who may be in need of it. Regular size
bottles so cents and S1.00. For sale at
all druggists. Be sure to mention this

Plan Siege Of Antwerp.


Rotterdam. Sept 29.-The indica-
tlons are that the Germans are plan
ming for a siege Of Antwerp in a few
days. About one hundred and fifty
thousand Germans are reported con.
centrating for the attack. including
twenty-five thousand naval reserves.
who will be used for sea operations
with Antwerp as a base. II the siege
is successful. Antwerp's Notifications
are believed among the strongest in
the world. Their rebuilding began one
year ago and though the status is a
secret, they are now believed to be
complete.
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1914-09-29


Paris, Sept. 2e.-An official an.
nouncement says the Germans are at.
tempting numerous attacks on the
French left wing, the allies repuIIslns
them all.
In the center the Germans have re-.
strieted their activity TO heavy cannon.
aiding and between Argonne and the
Meuse the French have advanced
slightly against the stronger positions.
There are no changes In Lorraine.
The important question In today's
battle was whether the unexpected lull
In yesterdays fighting was due to
burylne the dead or a further shifting
Of troops for anoher great attack.
The French yesterday granted four
hours armstiee for burials. At the end
Of this time the Germans did not re-
new the attack and some reports as
sert the Germans spent the entire day
in buryine the bodies eneumberine the
trenches.
From Brussels comes a report which
II verified ls one Of the most slsnlf.
cant Of the week, that large numbers
Of battle weary Germans are eoneen-
tratlns there from French battle fields.
Whatever the cause Of the lulI, the
French believe II is loss Of valuable
time to the Germans.
Although the weather is better, the
rivers are still overflowine, especially
In vosees and Alsaee, where the Rhine
and three other streams are making
the movements Of heavy artillery al
most impossible. French claim this Is
to their advantage, because their ar
tillery is mostly light.
