FOOD IS

Much Complaint Has Been Heard at
the Old Soldiers Home, Quincy
About Conditions in
Kitchen.
COOK DISCHARGED
Refused to Cook Unfit Oatmeal and
Lost His Job-Whls's Story
is of Interest to Many
Old Veterans.

Many old soldiers of Keokuk will
be interested in the attacks that are
being made against the Soldiers
Home in Quincy because of the poor
quality of food that is being served
the veterans. The Quincy Wing con-
tains heart intent story about con-
ditions there, which follows
Recent complaints and actual OBJ
servations show that the old men who
are now passing the last years of their
lives at the Quincy Soldiers and Sail
ors' home, and who formerly so faith
fully served their country are being
poorly fed A trip through the home
would not fail to convince anyone
of this fact. OF course, it is not ex-
pected that these veterans shofld i've
on cream puffs and lemonade, but
it does seem that they are entitled to
plenty of good substantial eating, es-
pecially since most of them do man
ual labor of some sort or other in
keeping up the grounds and buildings
and in furnishing and preparing much
of the food for the tables. 1t is al
legged that they are given meat only
sparingly, and the apparent hunger
Of most of the inmates soon after
meal hours shows that they either
have abnormal appetites or else have
not had enough to eat. Only yes

walking along eating on dried up
raw onion such as most family cows

adays to see the old men munching
at stale bits of dry bread that they
have saved from their scanty meals.
The discharge of Charles Folsom,
familiarly known as Jolly from the
cook house last week brings to light
the quality of food that is being serv-
ed to the people. Jolly. was

him reelected to the place. Should
such program be carried out there
would be question whether the
Cosson law could be again brought
into place against Mr.. Phillips except
ing for such alleged misconduct e
might occur since his last trial. On
the question of being candidate at
the next election Mr. Phillips has re-
fused to commit himself so far.
The successful ousting of Mayor
Phillips was a personal victory for
Detective John Gray of Ottumwa,
chief prosecutor, who admitted on
the stand that his motive was one of
personal revenge. He claimed his
brothers death resulted from Mayor
Phillips stopping prize fight which
had been arranged by him. This in
reference by the mayor caused the
loss of great deal of money, sub
sequent sickness and finally death. it

being urged to become candidate

auestionably cause one of the most
heated municipal battles ever waged

for his mates. He had been accus-

nothing of that since it had appar-

one morning quantity of oatmeal

notifying the condition of the cereal
refused to prepare it for the table,

Politicians Believe Loeb
Is Seeking Taft's Support

New York politicians in Washington
who are familiar with the republican sit
uation in New York state expressed the
opinion today that the visit of William
Loeb, jr. TO Beverly, whatever may be
the version handed out at the summer
capital. vas To- secure President Taft's
friendliness To Mr.. Loebs candidacy for
the gubernatorial nomination.
IL will be recalled that last week Mr..
Loeb was served with notice by William
Barnes. the boss of Albany county. that
Mr.. Loeb could not get his own county
Abany-to support him at the coming
republican convention. Mr.. Barnes frank
explanation was that Mr. Loeb's advo-
cacy. along with Col. Roosevelt, of the
Hughes plan for direct nominations had
alienated the Albany machine from him.
In the course of that interview Mr..
Loeb made II plain that he was banker
ing for the nomination. He did not at
the time hurl back defiance at MIR.
Barnes. but was in rather a conciliatory
mood toward the Albany boss
Roosevelt May Take a Hand.
The politicians here figure that Mr..
Loeb has gone to Beverly to see IL he
can enlist the Presidents support.
Gov. Hughes Will be at Oyster Day to-
morrow In conference with Col Roose-
Welt. and unquestionably, il Col Roose-
welt so requests Gov. Hughes will
promise his influence 10 MIR. Loeb's
candidacy.

Tafts assent and promise of assistance
Mr.. Loeb VIII then be the possessor OF

Well posted New York politicians
were convinced, as soon as they read
William Barnes defiance to Col Roose-
welt last week, that the gage would
be taken up promptly. and they think
they see in Mr.. Loeb's movements An
indication that the issue will be
promptly Joined.
1t does not necessarily mean thew
say that Mr.. Loeb will in the end he
the man selected to carry the standa rd
of the Hughes Roosevelt combiua-

and consultation. and Mr.. Loebs visit
