upon were colored a slight red and the
worms ate them as they eat ordinary

To Those Who Have Never Ap-

The Solemn Duty of Married Soldiers.
Write The National Tribune Washington

1T does not follow as matter of course, if man
was soldier, even if he is pensioner, that it
will be an easy matter for his widow to get
pension. AS matter of fact widows claims are
unnecessarily delayed, and in some never
allowed for lack of evidence. which the husband,
usually, could have supplied during his lifetime.
This important matter has been discussed, from
time to time in the columns of The National Tribune,
and has been made the subject of orders by Com
manders-in-Chef of the Grand Army, but every
appeal heretofore deficient in essential par
tcular: no safe and permanent place was suggested
for the custody of the information.
The National Tribune Co.. in practical way,
proposes to supply this deficiency. In a fireproof
room, in its own building, and under lock and key to
insure privacy, it will for such papers and infor
such time is many years distant. The National Tribune
Co. is incorporated. Having perpetual existence,
the death of the present managers of the Company
will not disturb the business or change the custody
of the papers. No safer place in the world can be
found for the purpose.
