(Special.) William Thomas Dovell. member of the law firm of Hughes, McMicken Dovell & Ramsey, one of the keenest legal minds and one of the most prom ient men in politics of the state of Washington, died- at 2 o'clock this morning at his home in this city after a three months' illness from pneu monia. Mr. Dovell was born in Walla Walla September 21, 1869. He was educated at Whitman College In his native city. He was admitted to the bar on his 21st birthday, and when only 22 years old was southeastern manager of the Sen atorial campaign of John -A-, Allen, whose daughter he later married. . Mr. Dovell followed Mr. Allen to Seattle, having read law in his office in Walla Walla, and became a mem ber of the law firm of Struve, Allen, Hughes & McMicken. He was City Attorney for Walla Walla, during the period of his early law practice and once served as Deputy Clerk "for the United States District Court in that town. Though he had been a political factor in Southeastern Washington from the time he reached his majority, had led the Allen Senatorial . fight when 22 years old, had delivered a remarkable address in Seattle years before and was regarded as one of the state's most brilliant Republican speakers before he reached the age of 30, Mr. Dovell really came into his first political prominence lxn the West Side during the Mead campaign of 1904. At his own expense he stumped the state for Mr. Mead. In the Taft-Roosevelt fight Dovell was a strong advocate of Mr. Taft. He wrote the Republican platform adopted at Aberdeen in 1912 and was the pleader for the Taft delegation seated in the Chicago convention. Lawyers in telegrams of condolence sent to Mrs. Dovell and . to his law firm today declare that he was the best-known and one of the best rounded attorneys in the state. The members of the State Supreme Court recognized Mr. Dovell's ability, when on Christmas day they sent a letter to him declaring that at the time of his death John B. Alien was the best lawyer in the state and that Mr. Dovell had filled the place he left. Mr. Dovell was 47 years old. His father, John Dovell, settled in Walla Walla in the early '60s and operated ithe first planing mill built between Puget Sound and Montana. Mr. Dovell was president of the Washington State Bar Association in 1911 and a member of the American Bar Association. Be sides his widow, he leaves two sisters and three children Ruth Cecelia, aged 13; William Thomas, Jr., aged 5, and Mary Dorothea, aged 2.

Notwithstanding a heavy fall of snow, the Germans to the north of Verdun have attacked with what Paris terms unprecedented violence and with large forces French positions at sev eral points, but according to the French official communication the attacks were without success. Especially has this been true of La Cote du Poivre, about 4 miles north of the fortress, the attainment of which would give the Germans a good vantage point from which to operate against Verdun. The artillery on both sides along the entire battle front is keeping up an incessant bombardment of opposing po sitions. So intense are the detonations of the Big guns that the sound of them has penetrated eastward to the left bank of the Rhine, in Rhenish Prussia. Heavy casualties are being inflicted on both sides and the Germans assert they have taken many prisoners the aggregate at last reports totaling more than 10,000. East of tho Meuse the fortified vll lages and farms of Champneuville, Co- tellate, Marmont, Beaumont, Cham- brettes and Ornes are declared by Ber lin to be in the hands of the Germans, .as likewise are French positions to the north of Verdun, reaching to the ridge of Loudemont, which lies to the south of Beaumont. Fighting .also has been going on in the Champagne region and bombard ments of German positions in the for est of the Argonne and in the Vosges mountains have taken place. In Cham pagne the French report the capture of German salient south of Ste. Marle- a-Py and the taking of 308 prisoners, including 21 officers and non-commis sioned officers. Artillery and mining operations have been in progress along the British front. Bombardments, infantry attacks and fights with hand grenades have taken place in Russia and Galicia, but there have been no important changes in posi tions.

A Proposed New York Law ' Says in part: "No food or drink, save coffee, tea and cocoa, containing any habit-forming: drug except alcohol, shall be sold within the State-" From New York Journal of Commerce. Jan. 17, 1916. This bill, recently introduced in the New York Legislature, amply attests the well-known fact that coffee, tea and cocoa contain the habit-forming drug, caffeine. But why discriminate in favor of caffeine when it has been proven beyond a question of doubt that this subtle, habit-forming drug, sooner or later spells ill health, and frequently disaster for many coffee drinkers. Caffeine is a powerful irritant. It disturbs the regular functioning of the vital organs, often causing headaches, biliousness, heart flutter, nervous ness, insomnia, or some other symptom of caffeine poisoning. The easy, sure way out of coffee troubles is to quit the coffee and use PflvQTI TM ' Made of wheat and a'small portion of wholesome molasses, Postum has a rich, snappy flavour much like that of mild Java coffee that makes the change pleasant as well as mgniy oeneiiciai, and Postum contains no drug or other harmful element.
