An Attack of Grip Always Leaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition Doctors in all parts of the country have been kept busy with the epidemic of grip which lias visited so many homes. The symptoms of grip this year are often very distressing and leave the system in a run down con dition, particularly the kidneys which seem to suffer most, as almost every - victim complains of lame back and W urinary troubles which should not be neglected, as these danger signals ot •r ten lead to dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists report a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which so many people say soon heals and strength ens 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 immediately noticed in most cases by those who try it. Dr. Kil mer & Co.. Binghamton. N. Y., offer to send a sample size bottle of Swamp- Root, on receipt of ten cents, to every sufferer who requests it. A trial will convince any one who may be in need of it. Regular size bottles 50 cts. and SI.OO. For sale at all druggists. Be sure to mention this paper. R. It. RGVEM'E Decreases Washington. D. C..

COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 1917 IS VERY GOOD [Continued From First l*no] ahead with orders, Harrisburg will have a full purse to draw from for Its varied needs. Speaking of the outlook for the year to-day Howard C. Fry, president of the Rotary Club said: , "The passing or another cycle in the I years of her history, llnds Harrisburg i proud of the prqgress she has accom j piished therein. Rightfully and justly can she revel in the results here civic, industrial and commercial s-.ctlvitics have achieved for her. "For every added civic betterme'nt, | the ledger has been more than bal-1 j anced with industrial and commercial j I advancement. Repaired streets, im | proved and additional lighting, beau-' i titled and enlarged parks, the timely j and well directed combat with epi- I demical maladies thereby establishing j a reputation for .a healthful city, the I guarantee of additional and much j needed educational and hotel facili ties, have been and are all bound to make our great city even a greater city In which to live and do business. "This year's chic improvement, j | coupled with similar strides in years I i gone by. has attracted to our confines, j until our city's industrial and com mercial fame and prowess is known i and felt in every corner of the globe. | In her manufacturing, in similar lines j none have exceileu her. In commer cial pursuits nowhere Is there to be j found a more creditable reputation for service than Is attributable to Harris burg merchants. "Harrisburg Is rejoicing upon her i success, for she has accumulated her just measure of prosperity in 1916. May the close of 1917 see our great city an even better, bigger, busier and more properous Harrisburg than she is to-day." _ David Kaufman, proprietor of the Kaufman Underselling Store. In Mar ket Square, said his store will be en larged. "The year 1916 was very sat isfactory, and the holiday business the largest in the history of the store." William H. Bennethum. Sr.. mana- 1 ger for Dives. Pomeroy & Stewart: "Last year was a magnificent year, surpassing all previous records. Christ mas business was also a record brealcer and I attribute it to the fact that we kept open at night only one week before Christmas. Folks bought in the morning and afternoon. "I look for another big year In business. Coming back to Christmas closing I want to give notice that next year we will be open but two nights before Christmas. It docs not pay." J. William Bowman, of Bowman & Company, was enthusiastic over last year's business. He said: "We had j a satisfactory business during Christ-1 mas rush, but could have taken care of more. I am more than optimistic about 1917." Fred B. Harry, successor to H. C. Dodge, hatter and furrier, said: "Every indication points to a success j ful year." Bretz Brothers, hardware dealers, said: "We look for a big year in the hardware business because of the building outlook." John C. Soutter, proprietor of the 25-cent store, announced the busiest year in his career. "The year was I I record-breaker." he said, "and during ! the holidays the rush continued from | start until the last day. The new ; year Is starting out well, and with I every Indication of Increased ac tivity." WEALTHY UPSTATE MAN NOT CLEARED [Continued From First Pago] ents of jewelry and money, .-rave a satisfactory account of his where abouts last Friday, the day the murder is believed to have occurred. Asked if an arrest was imminent In the case, Captain Tate said that if the police started to arrest men who were acquainted with Miss Colbert merely because they knew her, they woulil have to arrest a great many persons "We have already questioned some prominent young men." Captain Tate said, "and are not through by any means. We are quizzing every person whose name has been linked In any way with that of the woman." Relieves Degenerate Did It Questioned regarding his theorv that a degenerate had killed Miss Colbert. Captain Tate answered: "That theory still looks like the best of all." Cap tain Tate said the woman had been hit I on the head, apparently, as she tried • to raise a window in her living room to shout for help. The window sill is stained with blood. The man's shirt found in the bed room was blood-soaked on the right side as if the wearer had carried the woman. There is other evidence to j bear out the theory that the woman ! was assaulted. Captain Tate said. "I'm not so certain there was a des perate fight here preceding the mur der." the captain said. "It is evident in any event that the fight did not last long, because the janitor's wife and persons living directly opposite her apartment heard no noise." One of the theories discounted by j the police was that the murder may have been the result of an attempt to | blackmail one of Miss Colbert's ad | mlrers. | Captain of Detective Tate persists in the theory that the murder was com ) mitted by a degenerate. He believes the slayer to have been a negro. Dr. Charles E. Brlcker, a police surgeon, and the first medical man to see the body, disagrees with this theory. The physician contends that two persons might have been In the room, because there was no blood on the girl's cloth ing and one person could not have carried the body without getting blood on the garments. Man Socially Prominent A dozen persons. Including a wealthv manufacturer and a young university man. have been questioned by de tectives and the police have In their : possession letters and pictures show. I imr that many men well known In this J city were admirers of Miss Colbert. A | .nan of wealth and social standing is said to be under surveillance in a I downtown hotel in connection with the j case and search is being made for the I chauffeur of an independent taxicab who is reported to have taken a promi ! nent clubman regularly to the young j woman's apartment. The last known | visit. It is said, was made last Thurs ' day night.

Raunick. city health officer, and Dr. A. Z. Rltzman, assistant health officer, the department will take charge within the next few days.

Action on Senator Hitchcock's resolution to have the Senate endorse President Wilson's peace note was again defer red to-day after a long debate. The resolution went over for dis cussion again to-morrow at the re quest of Senator Hitchcock, its author, after a spirited debate in which Sena tors Lodge and Borah, Republicans, opposed action at this time. The debate was marked by an at tack by Senator Lodge upon Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassa dor. because of the latter's action In \ issuing a newspaper statement ap-' proving the note. That action, Sena tor Lodge said, added to the misun derstandings about its purposes and added to the opinion that it was timed and intended to aid Germany in mak ing the peace terms she seeks. Senator l.odge expressly said, how ever. that he accepted in full faitl. the declaration of the President in the note that it was in no way associated with the peace proposals of the cen- 1 tral powers. 80,000 Tons of Ore From Minnesota to Be Used by C.

Japan Fearing U-Boat War in Pacific Will Arm Her Merchantmen Washington, D. C., Jan. 3. Japan, through the Embassy here, notified the State Department yesterday of her in tention to arm her merchant ships de fensively. and requested information as to whether any special rules had been made by this Government for passage of ships so armed through the Panama Canal. This was the first official information that Japan intended such action and was interpreted in some quarters as in dicative of fear of German submarine operations on a wider scale than so far attempted. Japan has a large tonnage passing through the canal, and has suf fered seriously from German undersea I activities, particularly in the Mediter ranean.
