Albany, n. Y, March 3l.--Considera-
ton of the majority and minority re-
ports of the Judiciary committee which
investigated the eligibility of the five
socialist assemblymen suspended on
charges of disloyaty on the opening
day of the legislative session, was a
special order of business in the assem-
bly, to-day.
The lower body convened earlier than
usual in order to clear away routine
matters so as to be able TO devote the
greater part of the day to considera-
ton of the case. Many assemblymen
have indicated that they will speak and
the roll call is not expected to be
reached until some time Thursday.
Leaders of the faction favoring adop-
ton of the majority report recon-
the expulsion of all five So
cialists, did not desire to vote before
Thursday, as then it will be too late
for Governor Smith TO call a special
election in the five districts.
Members favoring BUSTING proceed
ings claimed TO have far more than
the necessary number of votes.

TO SHUT OUT GERMS
KEEP AIR PASSAGES
CLEAR; ANTISEPTIC

Don't lie awake at night struggling
for breath with head stuffed and nos
trils closed. Sleep in a room with a
wide,open window and keep your nose
and throat clear and antiseptic and
breathing passages open.
Take every precaution against germs
that enter through the nose and mouth
and cause influenza, colds, sore throat,
tonsilitis, quinsy.
Keep the membranes of the breath
ing passages antiseptic both day and
night. Don't let catarrh or colds take
hold. Get small bottle of Ely's Cream
Balm at any drug store. This cream
quickly penetrates through all the air
passages; makes the membranes anti
septic and keeps throat and nostrils
clear.
