Rcer Enr Old Soldiers.

Cincinnati Commercial: The arrival
each morning at Dayton of carload of
Cincinnati beer, sixty barrels, TO supply
the Soldiers Home saloon, where no
other beverage than lager beer is sold,
has created decided interest there. The
business there has assumed enormous
proportions, and yet not glass is sold to
any but inmates of the institution.
Three bartendcrs are on duty ten hours,
from the opening of the saloon in the
morning until the closing NJ night, and
il is Il rush with them until dark.
A carload of beer is received every
morning, and the barrels removed at
once from refrigerator ears to ice cellars
immediatly in the rear of tho barroom,
and there one man is stationed all day
charged with the duty of Keeping three
bari els on tap at time and when once
the amber stream flows il docs not cease to
flow until the barrel is empty, the beer
being conducted by rubber tube into the
bar, where glasses are waiting for it, SO
great is the patronage OF the bar all day.
In the mornings there are often 300 to 800
thirsty veterans waiting in line for the
saloon doors to be opened. Checks are
sold at the door, 5 cents apiece, six to
each applicant, and no more, and these
checks are good for one glass of beer.
Profits on pretzels and sandwich sales
more than pay running expenses of the
beer hall. Beer is delivered in carload
lots at the Home at II fraction less than
eight dollars per barrel, and rotailed at a
nickel.
An interesting fact in connection with
the sale of beer at the home is the fact
stated by DR.. Patton, surgeon OF the in
stitution. that before the saloon was
opened he had 300 patients per week, and
al the end of the three weeks sale of
beer he had only fifty patients. Beer as n
sanitary agent seems to be first class
beniiicence.
Col. Thomas, treasurer of the Homo,
says the profits from the sale of beer will
pay all police, fire department, and hos
pital expenses, and clothe all of the 5000
inmates of the Central Branch. If the
saloon was open to the patronage of Wis
itors the home would be self.supportlng.
