An ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited 90 many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are Often very
distressing and leave the system in a run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem TO suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
cd, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Klmer's
Swamp-Root which 30 many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it.. DR.. Kilmer & Co.,

per cent and freight rates possibly as
much as Is per cent.
Based on Living Cost.
The scheme of wage advances adopt
ed Is based on an inquiry into the
cost of living, which the commission
found has increased approximately 40
per cent to the average railroad en-
ployee receiving $50 a month.
The commission favors a shorter
average wOrkday, presumably eight
hours, but decided that in the wal
emergency the nation could not afford
to put into effect a reform that would
slow down the war machinery and
discriminate against other classes Of
workers being called upon for great
sacrifices.
Rates of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
to the mileage basis of compensation
of some employees, a road engineer,
for example, receiving an increase of
11H per cent In his mileage rate. A
scheme of applying the increases to
piece work and overtime therefor is
also provided.
An important feature of the report
was the recommendation that where
the same service is rendered the pay
shall be the same, without dlscrimina-
ton as to sex or race.
Report Of Commission.
The report Of the commission, COLI
sistlng of Franklin X. Lane, secretary
Of the interior; Charles c. McChord,
j.. Harry CovlngtOn, and William X.
Wilcox, is an exhaustive one. In part
the report says:
'The requests which have com to
us for wage increases, would, II fully
granted, involve an additional outlay
in wages of somewhat over ST. ,000,-
600 per year In excess of the wage fund
of last year, which exceeded $1,000,
100000. Some asked for an increase
Of 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward to 10
per cent. None were satisfied with
their present wages.
) IAN unprecedented call had come for
men of certain trades in connection
with the new industries that had been
created by the war In Europe, and this
long before our entry into the conflict.
Machinists and iron workers Of all
kinds found themselves Z be essential
to the great munition plants and day
labor of the most unskilled character
rose into high demand.
Cut of Those Not Needed.
"The commission recommends that
during the period of government con-
duct of the railroads no salaries paid
to officials who are not essential to
