An Attack of Influenza
Often Leaves Kidneys in
Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of in
fuenza which has visited so many homes.
The symptoms of this disease are very
distressing and leave the system in run
down condition. Almost every victim
complains of lame back and urinary
troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmers
Swamp Root which so many people say

after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root,
being an herbal compound, has gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which

After England declared war, the eff

and the mob had new lot Of signs tt
tear down. We were forbidden to tall
English on the telephone or on the
street. We kept to our homes rather
closely. Most of the buses, taxicabs
and horses had been Communicated
and the only signs of life in Berlin
were furnished by the officers driving
madly about in high-pOwered cars
which exceeded all speed limits and
other traffic regulations.
After few days. things began to re-
turn to normal again. The food sup
ply seemed ample and the headlines In
the newspapers were SO encouraging
and the reports of victories upon vic
tories so convincing that every one ex-
pected the war to be over within a
very short time and they began to eat
up the stores they had so excitedly
collected.
Bread cards were initiated, 1t Is true,
but the amount allowed was more than
adequate for all except, perhaps, the
very poor who depend almost entirely
upon bread.
The press began advising the peo-
pie to conserve food but at the same
time said that If care was taken there
was no danger of there not being
enough for all. School teachers gave
daily talks to the children to eat every
thing on their plates. One went so far
as to announce: 81 always lick my
plate. children, and you should do the
same!"
The result of these warnings was
merely to increase boarding and buy
ing from food spectators. I never
knew of a single German who volun-
tarily deprived himself of a single
article of food out Of patriotic mo-
lives. The only sacrifice a German is

CHAPTER XVII.

The Economic Situation In Germany
By the spring Of 1915. butter ant
meat had become extremely scarce il
| Berlin. My wife had remained ir
America, where she had accompanied
me In the summer of 1915, and during
her absence 1 dined at hotels and res
taurants where the food was still
rather good. In June, 1915, left fol-
America again and just as was leav.
ing meat cards were issued for the
first time.
I returned to Berlin with my family
in October, 1916. Conditions had
changed considerably for the worse
during the summer. 1 found that
every one who had the money had
bought up every available pound of
food and soap which had not already
been Communicated by the govern
ment. Butter, potatoes, eggs, milk,
-four, sugar, soap, bread and meat and
dry groceries were all rationed and it
was now no longer necessary for wom-
en- to stand In line in front of the
shops, sometimes all night, to await
the morning opening.
Shopping by the card system was
very complicated and the quantities
permitted by the ration cards so small
that a well-balanced meal was an i'm
possibility. To dine In a restaurant 1t
was necessary to take a whole pocket
full of cards and make a careful analy-
sis of them before ordering the mea-
ger meal which the law allowed
Empty boxes were used to decorate
shops. The fact that they were empty
was not known to the public and very
often the windows would be broken by
hungry mobs who couldn't resist the
sight of what appeared to be SO much
food. This led the government. to or
Ter the shopkeepers to label the boxes

and riots.
There was simply nothing to buy in

Canon CITY HAS
A fine CHANCE
FOR HOSPITAL
SITE LOCATION

The contemplated government hos
pital for Colorado has entered new
phase so far as the matter of its loca-
tion is concerned, and Canon City's
chances. for securing it are believed
to be better now than at any previous
time. since the matter of its estab-
lishment in this state began to be
discussed.
The Chamber of Commerce has
been in, close touch with the hospital
situation at all times, and several mat
tiers in connection with it have taken
place which could not be given pub
licity without prejudice to the COM
munity. Matters have now reached
q point where full publicity may be
given the proposition without in any
way, jeopardizing this city's possi-
bilities of securing this very desir-
able institution.
The bill passed by Congress last
March appropriating s1,500.00o for
this purpose was so drafted that it
was necessary for the government to
purchase buildings already construct
ed, which precluded all competition
among the cities of the state to OBJ
tain the location OF the hospital. In
order that the best place for the in
stitution might be selected 1t was es-
sential to set aside certain clauses
and provisions of the measure and
amendments adopted that would per-
NIT the government to purchase a
site and erect buildings suitable for
the requirements of the proposed in
stitution Such amendments were
submitted by Senator Lawrence C.
Phipps of Colorado at the request of
the State Development Federation.
and through the hearty cooperation
of Senator Thomas and Congressman
Hardy, Vale and Timberlake, the
amendments have been adopted by
the location of the hospital reopened
for determination.
The Chamber of Commerce here is
in receipt of telegram from Denver
announcing the adoption of the
amendments to the hospital bill by
Congress, and the message gives full
credit to those who made its passage
through that body possible. The
amendments passed both Houses and
gives full authority in the matter of
location to the secretary of the treas
ury under the terms of the original
act. Senator Phipps states that he
will follow up the proposition with
Surgeon Gen. Blue and have the site
for the hospital selected at an early
date from those offered by Colorado
communities.
Although It is not generally known
a government inspector was in this
city the latter part Of April and made
an inspection Of the sites offered by
this city, and appeared well pleased
with them and OF the general situa-
ton of Canon City for the hospital
in question.
The climatic conditions and advan-
tages here ought to assure the loca-
tion of the hospital in Canon City or
its vicinity. Definite action by the
Federal authorities in relation to the
matter may be expected within the
next few weeks.
