at it, and provide a suitable and salts
factory precedent for all time to come
is the problem that is facing the
house officers and leaders.
1t is probable that the case will
come UP for its first review before
the judiciary committee, the COM
plant having been referred to that
committee. They will, in all likli-
hood, go over the evidence and exa-
mine at least some of the leading wit
nesses for the complainant, and then
return their findings to the house
with their recommendations. 1t will
be expected that the body as a whole
consider the evidence and decide
whether or not there shall be an inn
parchment.
Inasmuch as the constitution fur
Their provides that mo person shall be
tried on impeachment before he shall
have been served with a copy thereof
at least 20 days previous to the day
set for trial." ii will be necessary
for the house to take action soon.
Allowing for the possible 20 days
needed, Is days are left for consider
alton of the matter, by the house.

WOMEN.

the joy of a mans life. Beauty will
fade, a good figure will change. but
the charm of health and cheerfulness
will endure to the end. But how can
a woman be cheerful and happy when
dragged down by some female de-
rangement, with a backache, head
ache, and often on the verge of a
breakdown.
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the standard remedy for
such ailments. During the last 40
years thousands of homes have been
made happy by this woman's great
remedy for woman's ills.

MORE PAVING
CITY COMMISSION RECEIVES AP.
PLICATION FOR NEW
WORK.

The city commission in regular
weekly meeting last evening received
and accepted a resolution to pave
Center street from the west line of
Lincoln avenue TO the east line of
Highland avenue. This comprises
all of Center street from the west
city limits to Lincoln avenue.
This additional application for
paving increases the amount of paw
ing to be laid in Madison this year to
about two miles.
An ordinance providing for in
increase in the width OF sidewalks
was Professionally discussed. 1t is pro-
posed to increase the width of side
walks along Egan avenue from the
depot to the north line of Seventh
street from twelve feet at present to
fifteen feet. This would leave seven
ty feet as the width of paving on
Egan avenue.
On streets eighty feet in width it
is proposed to provide for twenty-five
feet parking on either side, leaving
a strip of thirty feet in the center of
the street TO be paved. All side
walks i'm these streets will remain at
four feet, eight inches in width.
The provisions of the ordinance
will be compiled and presented to
the commission at a future meeting.

MADISON BOWLERS
MADISON MEN RETURN THIS
MORNING AFTER FAIR Sue
CESS At ABERDEEN.

The six men who represented Mad
ison at the Tri-State bowling tourna-
ment at Aberdeen returned this
morning. The boys did exceptionally
well with all things considered, al
though only one man, Mackay, got in
the money. 1t was the first tourna-
ment that two of the men ever rolled
in, and considering the way the pins
were falling they toppled the naples
for many pins more than they expect
ed to do after seeing some of the big
teams roll ahead of them.
The tournament was by far the
most successful one ever held, forty
eight teams being entered in the five
men event. almost double any other
previous tournament. Much credit
is due to the officers of the tourna-
ment, especially President Shannon
and Secretary Mankey, who did
everything in their power to make the
tournament a success, and to say they
did is expressing it mildly.
Bruggeman, of Sioux City. topped
the single list with a score of 652.
The All Nation team, of Sioux City
was first in the five-men event, with
2,7S0. Faul and Flagg, of Aberdeen,
won the doubles with a score OF
1,21O. Outside of the singles no
very large scores were rolled, con
sidering the bowlers who partici-
pated in the tournament.
Madison was honored by having
one of their men chosen for the board
of directors, Coutts being named
with eight other men from all parts
of the state.
The tournament will be held at
Sioux Falls next year. Huron was
also a contender for the 1918 tourna-
ment, but lost out by six votes.
Following are the Madison scores:

AHot Water Bottle
as Big as a Wash Tub

In old Japan the weather gets very cold
at times. Houses made of rice paper, while
very nice from an artistic standpoint are not
much OF a success in a Japanese blizzard.
Charcoal, the popular fuel of the island, can
not be used to any great extent in these air
tight houses on account of the poisonous
gasses generated. Therefore, every family
that can afford it has a large rubber water
bottle about the size of a wash tub, which is
filled with hot water at bedtime and placed
in the center of the room. Around this bot
tle-like the spOkes of a wheel-lie the men,
bers of the family, with their feet resting on
the center of attraction. Over the whole af-
fair is an enormous circular quilt or blanket
which reminds you of the pancakes mother
used to make" Now a hot water bottle that
will withstand the kicks of the entire family
must be made of the right kind of stuff. The
material that goes into these large hot water
bottles made for the Japanese is the very
same material that goes into the smaller bot
ties sold by us, and are the only kind we show
you when you ask to see the 'best." We have
sold a lot of rubber goods in our time, but the
bottles mentioned i'm this advertisement come
nearer to perfection than any we have seen
SO far. If you nave had trouble with rubber
goods in the past try one of our guaranteed
brands.
