HOW SOLDIERS LIVE AND FIGHT
IN THE TRENCHES.

London, March 23.-When It rains
the trenches are half filled with wa
Ter. The cold Is always OF the damp,
penetrating, dreadful kind that chills
TO the very marrow Hot food Is
served three times day to the men
in the trenches by other soldiers, who
scurry like rabbits through long, I'M
covered tunnels running back from
the works concealing the guns.
These men in the trenches must
have good food in order that they can
have good blood, and If they have
good blood, they have good courage,
thew keep warm because their c1rcu.
lation is good and their extremittes
are warm from exercise. Many men
are tnvalided, however, because their
blood and their stomach were not
right to withstand the awful hard
ships of this winter campaign.
When you do not properly digest
vour food, your blood becomes thin
and every organ of the body soon
feels the effect. The result is-head-
aches, sIeeplessness, nervousness
and many other symptoms-due to
accumulation Of poisons in the body
Unless the stomach is given aid at
this stage-more serious illnesses fol-
low. Now is the time to help your
weakened stcmach-now Is the time
to take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery Tin tablet or liquid form.
It has the same power to set you
right as it has been proved to have
in thousands Of other cases. 1t will
help your stomach so that the food
Won eat will nourish and sustain you
and make good reviving blood. 1t
will enable you tc, get rid of the waste
a sluggish liver and irregular bowels
have permitted to accumulate in your
system.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dscov-
ery is composed of known native
healing remedial roots and herbs
with no alcohol nor narcotic drugs to
give you harmful habits. 1t can now
be obtained in tablet or liquid form
from dealers, or send so stamps for

TRAGEDY IN HOME
OF THE BANKER
No Motive Unknown Why Boocock
Murdered His Wife and Then
shot Himself.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, March 23.-Shrouded
in mystery today was the motive for
the murder by Howard Boocock.
treasurer of the Aston Trust Co., OF
his young wife and his suicide in their
sumptuous home on East 74th street.
Police were unable to unearth any
motive other than dependency Of
the wealthy young banker. His finan-
cial affairs were said to be in good
shape.
A coroner's investigation today dis
closed that Boocock evidently shot his
wife while she was seated at p1anola
In the parlor. She was shot through
the left temple. Her body with po W.
der stains on the head, was found
over the ,pianola. Boocock's body was
found lying on couch with bullet
through the head and revolver
clutched in the right hand.
Four servants said they heard two
shots, but thought they were auto
tires blowing out and did not leave
their rooms on the fourth floor to in,
yestigate. Boocock had been moody
at dinner. Their two young children
were sent to red early. Boocock was
thirty-n1ne, member of many prom
inent clubs and a Yale graduate.

Toner'S Action Unjust.

Toner'S Action Unjust.
ct have been cleaning up the odds
and ends of my personal business so
that my partners could proceed intel
ligently with the work Of the firm,
and went to Chicago to confer with
the stockholders there, and tell them
of our clients willingness to aid
further in this emergency. We had
a very pleasant conference and | feel
satisfied that a plaI will be worked
out which will be satisfactory to
everyone. OF course I have nothing
more to do with the matter, but I am
satisfied that it will all be cleared up
without any reflections on anyone.
ut is painful to be compelled to
submit to the publicity which Mr..
Toner has inspired, especially when
I know that so far as our firm, or
our clients are concerned, every act
has been honest and square. 1t is
especially unjust because If Mr.. Ton
er has called upon me, or written
me, or asked me to see him, / feel
satisfied that could have convinced
him of the injustice of his attitude.
81 have withheld qualifying as
Judge to enable me to get the inter-
ests of my various clients In shape
so that other counsel could proceed
with their business. I have been
working night and day to accomplish
this, and I hoped to he able to leave
nv clients interests in this corpora
ton safe, and all interests harmon1-
Gus. The action of Mr.. Toner has
been a grave injustice, not only to
me personally, but to all the other
stockholders in the concern"

Federal Judge Says Attack From
Chicago Man Is Unfair and
Gives His Side
Of II.
IS FINISHING HIS WORK
Says He 10 Working Hard to Close
up Business That Other At
torneys May Take
Hold.

Judge Martin J. Wade, recently ap-
pointed to the federal court for the
southern Iowa district, in published
interview corrects certain misstate-
ments that appeared in Chicago pa
pers relative to his relation as an at
torney to sale OF stock Of a Cana
dian townsite corporation. Judge
Wade has great multitude of friends
In Iowa, and elsewhere, who would
attach no Importance whatever to
any reports derogatory to his integ-
rity and personal character; but 1t IS
no more than fair that he should have
wide publicity in refutatio1 of the
charges wrongfully made against him.
The following interview fully explains
the case and entirely exonerates the
judge from the allegations:
Connecting my name in the news
papers with the recent arrest of Mr..
st. John, in Chicago, is vicious out
rage. A man by the name of Toner
charges him with false represa nta-
tions in the sale Of some stock In
the Transcontinental Town Site COM
pany Of Winnipeg, of which Mr.. st.
John has been manager since 1t Was
interest In the company referred to,
directly or indirectly. I never sold
any stock, nor had anything to do
with the sale of the stock, directly or
indirectly. I am not now and never
was attorney for Mr.. ST. John. I
know nothing personally Of the con-
troversy between Toner and Mr.. st.
John. I never saw Mr.. Toner to my
knowledge, and never had any COM
inunications from him OF any kind. If
he had conferred with me, I am salts
fed that I could have convinced him
that / had absolutely nothing to do
with the matter.
In Behalf Of Clients.

attorneys for the Wisner estate at
Eldora, Iowa, and II anyone has any
cause to complain about the manage
ment of the corporation, our clients
have They have invested something
like $225,0 in the company, and
their confidence in the company has
been such that they never took any
security of any kind, never have re-
ceiyed a dollar of interest or profit,
or money for any purpose from the
corporation, nor have they sold dol
lars worth Of stock to anyone. So
far as our firm or myself are con-
cerned, any interest that we have
taken in the matter has been in be-

half of the corporation or Mr.. st.
