HOW SOLDIERS LIVE AND FIGHT
IN THE TRENCHES.

London. Jan. 25.-When it rains the
-renches are half filed with water. The
sold Is always Of the damp. penetrating.
dreadful kind that chills to the very
marrow. Hot food is served three
times q day to the men in the trenches
by other soldiers, who scurry like rab-
bits through long uncovered tunnels
running back from the works conceal,
ing the guns.
These men in the trenches must have
good food in order that they can have
good blood, and il they have good blood,
they have good courage. they keep
warm because their circulation is good
and their extremities are warm from
exercise. Many men are invaded.
however, because their blood and their
stomach were not right to Withstand
the awful hardships of this winter
campaign.
e When you do not properly digest your
food your blood becomes thin and
every organ of the body soon feels the
effect. The result is-headaches, sleep
lessness. nervousness and many other
symptoms-due to accumulation Of
poisons in the body. Unless the stom-
ach is given aid at this stage-more
serious illnesses follow. Now is the
time to take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery lin tablet or liquid form).
It has the same power to set you right
as it has been proved to have in thous-
ands Of other cases. It will help your
stomach so that the food you eat will
nourish and sustain you and make good
reviving blood. It will enable you to
get rid Of the waste a sluggish liver and
irregular bowels have permitted to ac-
cumulate in your system.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery Is composed of known native
healing remedial roots and herbs with
no alcohol nor narcotic drugs to give
you harmful habits. It can now be
obtained in tablet or liquid form from
dealers. or send so stamps for box of
tablets.

ton in Retiring Teachers.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls. Jan. 25.-Miss Blanche
Stoddard, county superintendent Of
schools, announced her decision in the
appeal from this city. Saturday. and
advised President A. J. Bowman of the
board of education that she had sus
tanned the action of the board. When
school opened last fall, the school board
obliterated the ward lines and pupils
were allowed to go to the north ward
school or to the central school. So
many attended the new high school
building that it was found necessary
to remove two of the teachers and
some of the seats from the north ward
school to the vacant rooms in the new
school building. Exception was taken
to this action by several patrons liv-
ing near the north ward school and an
appeal was taken to the county super
intendent by these people. A hearing
was had several weeks ago and Miss
Stoddard reserved her decision until
later date. The board felt that 1t had
acted for the best interests of all con-
cerned and defended it's action at the
hearing on the appeal and it appears
that the county superintendent thinks
the action of the board was consistent
under existing conditions.
