SOLDIERS HOME

SOLDIERS HOME, Oct 13. - Irregular
Core spondence.) On Monday the Home
fire brigade held it's usual monthly meet
ing.
Yesterday was pay day for the extra duty
men and civilian employees for work done
during the month of September. The au-
thorities adopted the plan, which has been
in operation during the last pension pay
time, of keeping the canteen open for the
supply of beer till $3.50 p. m. This plan
operates beneficially in two ways: it keeps
the money in the Home, to the great bene-
fit of the post fund, and TO a larger extent
it keeps the old boys from leaving and
patronizing the doggeries in the neighbor-
hood, to the beenfit of both their health
and morals.
Another improvement would be the sale
of light California wines. We have a large
number of members of French Italian and
German nativity, who would be delighted
at the chance of getting good light wine
at a moderate charge, and it would almost
do away with the consumption of spirits.
We are having our periodical cleanup
of the barrack quarters. Each of the bar
racks is successfully being. treated to a
course of hot steam, destroying all germs
and insect life.
