THE BoOz INVESTIGATION.
Congressional Committee Begins Work. Testi-
rnony of Members Of the Booz Family.
(By The Associated Press)

Philadelphia, Jan 1.-The BooZ Con-
gressional Committee to inquire into the
cause of the death of Oscar Boo2
at the military academy began the taking
of testimony today. Three sessions were
held covering a period of time from nine
o'clock in the morning until midnight.
The committee went to Bristol, Pa, the
home Of the Booz family. this morning,
and heard the testimony of four mem
bers of that family. In the afternoon four
physicians who attended Oscar Boo2 were
heard and tonight in Philadelphia two
more physicians and other witnesses were
given an opportunity to tell what they
knew.
Most of the evidence had already been
brought out by the military committee.
Probably the most important point
learned was the fact that one of the
physicians had attended Oscar Booz for
acute laryngitis previous to his going to
West Point. The administration of to-
basco sauce, it was testified by throat
expert, was sufficient to cause an irrita-
ton of the affected part of the larynX
which would have made Booz less able
to resist tuberculosis germs.
A physician who examined the cadet
previous to his entroance to West Point
testified that his lung expansion was not
normal and that he was not what might
be termed good specimen of physical
manhood. great mass of medical tes-
timony was heard in relation to Booz S
general physical condition.
AT Bristol the story told by the family
was a reiteration of that given to the
military investigating commission. Cadet
Booz's father testified he believed his son
died as the result of hazing, but made
no complaint as he wished to avoid pub
lcity and did not know there was any
redress. The cadets mother told OF the
difference in her boys health before going
to the academy and after. Miss Nellie
Booz the cadets sister, gave testimony
and said he resented attempts to get the
names of the alleged prosecutors. The
sister said Oscar told her he would not
again undergo the treatment he had re-
ceived at West Point for 800. 900. Oscar
had characterized the upper classmen as
"hrutes," "bullies" and "tyrants.'

WHAT WE HAVE ALWAYS SAID.
I'VE are pleased to note that
scientists Of reputation are coming to
share the views held by the proprie-
tors Of Warmers Safe Cure for the past
twenty years, viz: that the kidneys
are the great eliminating organs of
the system. Nature made them so
and man never has nor can improve
ON nature. If the poisons Of the sys-
TEN are driven out as nature intended,
health is assured, but if these great
organs are overworlled, sick, and
breaking down. allowing the poison
Gus waste -.natter to be retained in the
system, I'll health is certain, and un-
less help is given death will result.
The sensible course to pursue is to
put the kidneys in good working or
der by the use of Warmers Safe Cure
vegetable specific for all kidney dis
orders; a cure that has been put to
the severest test in all parts of the
civilized world and never failed of do
ing all that was claimed for it.
1t is not physical exercise men and

gans of the system exercise their ma
tural functions and Warmers Safe
Cure is the aid needed to put them
and keep hem in perfect health. \

''Now, unless such waste is elimin-

SENATOR DAVIS A CASE IN POINT.
For instance, there is the sad case
of Senator Davis. His toe was poison
ed by his stocking and refused to heal.
Kidney complaint developed, or rather
the kidneys tor a long time had not
done their fri work, and the system
was so poisoned that the toe became
gangrened.
''tThe kidneys work easily during

slightly atrophied, they shrink lit

The suit is to prevent the sale OF the
Georgia Railroad office buildings in Au-
gusta, which were levied on by Sheriff

troller Wright. The levy was made be-
cause the Georgia Railroad Company re-
fused to pay State, county and city taxes,

straining order and set the case for jan

vHow to be happy though married" has
been entirely solved to the satisfaction
of hundreds of thousands of women.
There can be no happiness without
health. The general health of woman
is dependent on the local health of the
delicate womanly organs. When there
are facilitating drains, or inflammation,
liberation or female weakness, happiness
in marriage is practically impossible. A
host of happy wives testify that the
secret of happiness in marriage is found
in the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

ceration and inflammation and cures fe-
