parchment cases reported in the court
records, for the reason that courts have
jurisdiction only on constitutional
grounds. On the question whether
Schively could be impeached for mat
tiers occurring while he was deputy
and in a now expired term, Lee says
the right to impeach is unquest,oned
but it is a matter solely within the
discretion of the house whether it will
or will not impeach.
District Judge Barnard, of WILSON,

during his second term for acts occur

procedure after the legislature has as
sembled is for the house to prepare
the charges and appoint manag rs.
This takes only a majority vote. That
ends the house connection with the
case. The charges go to the senate,
which has no option, but must proceed
to hear and determine the charges. The
managers fix the date of the hearing,
notify the accused, get the evidence
and see that it is produced in the SEN
ate. The senate is tied by no cOnsti-
tutional nor other rules of procedure
other than it's members will do Just
tice. 1t may permit the accused to
have counsel or not, as it desires, and
may follow or disregard the usual
rules of evidence.
When the hearing is completed the
senators vote aye or no on the i'm
parchment. No crime need be PROVED.

You needn't be afraid.

One day lady who had been reared
in the careful luxury OF the oId-fashioned
Virginia home was invited to visit the
kitchen of great Chicago hotel She
wanted to go, but was afraid When
asked why, she replied, I'm afraid I'll
See something that will forever destroy
my appetite for hotel food" She went,
and found everything delightfully."- clean.
Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all; that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals.
In making Quaker Oats the grain is
sifted and resifted, passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before it
is cooked and rolled
If you took a handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain, it wouldn't then be nearly
as clean as Quaker Oats. No human
hand ever touches single grain of
Quaker Oats from the field to your
kitchen. The best advice on foods you
could have is: Eat Quaker Oats every
morning for breakfast
You'll find Quaker Oats put up in
two size packages, the regular size and
the large, family size for those who are
not convenient to the store.
