The Senate concurrent resolution for

Mr.. Hayward's bill. to provide at the
Soldiers Home for the care of the
wives of soldiers, Is meeting with much
favor. There seems, however, to be, in
the minds OF some, q misapprehension
as to the scope of the bill. The general
idea 10 to build, on the Soldiers Home
grounds, cottages, where these bene-
ficiares can i've The only ones eligible
are those who were the wives of soldiers
during the war. Under the present
law organizing the Home, the husband
can come to the Home, but the old
wife must stay at home or go to the
poor house. Under Mr.. Hayward's
bill. the old couple are reunited and
cared for. Ii also provides for the
care OF the widows, who gave their
husbands to their country.
There are not many OF these now to
be provided for; but those who need it,
the olll proposes to care for.
