VETERANS PROPERLY FED
Charges Of Neglect and M Treatment
at Soldiers Homes Denied


at Soldiers Homes Denied
Washington, July PA report has
been made to the Secretary Of War
by ]. w Wadsworth, the president
OF the board Of managers Of the Ma
tional Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers, denying the charges OF ne
glectful and inhuman treatment" OF
veterans in the national soldiers
homes. These charges were made in
a magazine article published some
time ago and were called to the at
tention of President Taft by the State
Encampment of United Spanish War
Veterans Department OF New York,
on July 5.
The report brands the charge that
the food supply for old soldiers is in
sufficient in quantity and of inferior
quality as absolutely untrue. 1t is
explained that there is no fixed ra-
ton for the soldiers, but that the To-
cal officers for the homes are requir-
ed to provide good, substantial and
varied diet. The Specifications. SAYS
the report demand the purchase of
only the best quality of various ar
/ tlcles and. the supplies are carefully
inspected on delivery. 1t is said that
the age and physical condition of the
members are considered and special
dinners provided for holiday occas-
I ions
The low cost of subsistence, which
is l6 cents per day per man, is ex-
planned by the large amount of the
purchases made. Goods are thus
bought at far below retail price. 1t
is shown that the cost of mainten.
ance per capita in the national sold
iers' homes last year was somewhat
higher than the cost in soldiers
homes under exclusive State man
agements. In the estimates and ap-
preparations for the current year the
increased cost of living has been tax
en- into consideration and the item
for subsistence for national homes
has been raised from 16 cents per
day to % cents.
In May, 1910, a member of Con.
gress questioned the sufficiency of
the food supplied in the national
home. Because OF that fact orders
were issued to weigh members after
three months residence in the home
subsequent to July |, 1910 The re-
suit showed that more than two.
thirds of the memberships per
cent-had increased in weight Gen.
Wadsworth quotes from the reports
of the United States army inspectors
for the years 1905-10 inclusive in sup
port Of his statements as to the sui.
ficiency and good quality of the food
supplies.

HoKE SMITH WON'T GO
Thinks He's Needed More as Cover
nor Than as Senator,

Atlanta, July 27.-Gov. Hoke Smith
will not resign as Governor and go
to Washington to qualify as United
States Senator, despite the fact that
he has been notified by Democratic
leaders that his vote will be needed
on the tariff bills which are soon to
be acted on.
Gov. Smith was notified yesterday
that his vote would be needed on the
wool revision bill tomorrow and he
was requested to hurry to Washing
ton and qualify as senator.
Gov. Smith has decided that his
vote will not be needed and he will
hold to the executive Office at least
during the present session Of the
Legislature.
Gov. Smith says he is being adyis-
ed by friends in the Senate as to the
trend OF legislation, and they have
not seen fit to sound an alarm calling
him to the scene of action. Until
they do he will continue his present
course of remaining Governor and
| looking after legislation that he
thinks of more Importance to the PEG
pie of Georgia than one vote In
Washington on measure that will
be decided by a reasonable majority
whichever way il goes.
Gov. Smith thinks that Georgia
needs him more at present than doe:
the United States and he proposes tC
stand by Georgia He thinks tina
some OF the appeals for him TO go t
Washington at once are inspired b!
his political foes.

A Word to DepOSitors in Savings
Banks.

There are many matters connect.
ed with human affairs that are be-
yond human knowledge.
We know they exist, but why,
Omnipotence only understands
But when it comes TO cold-blooded
every day bsuiness affairs like bank.
ing we find that given conditions Ger.
tainly produce their logical results.
Here is a concrete illustration:
On the first day OF July, 1907, the
Hyde Park Savings Bank had de.
posts aggregating sS44,15s.34. Four
years later, to wit on the first day
OF July, 1911, those deposits had in
creased to s2,Ols,SO6.77; 1879 per cent.
or N,174,14S.43 gain in four years.
The first utterance given to a state
ment of this kind is 1T cannot be
true"
The second is, "The growth is phe-
nomenal."
And then we say. 1T is simply won
deriul-how can it be-"
Figures do not lie and the cold
facts in the matter are that in the
little village of Hyde Park with its
population OF only 423, there is a Say.
ings Bank which the people of Yer.
mont hold in such high esteem that
for four years the deposits therein
have exceeded the Withdrawals by be
tween 5000 and $1,000 for every work
ing day in the four years. To be ex.
act about il, $685. per working day.
What is the explanation?
Simply that the people of Vermont
nave watched the growth Of the La.
noble County Savings Bank and
Trust Company with unusual interest
because OF its management and its
methods of investments.
They have not failed to observe
that in its entire existence OF more
than twenty-five years, the funds of
the bank have been invested with
such excellent Judgment and with
such painstaking care that the bank
has record, probably unparalleled
OF never having lost a dollar by a
poor note.
The man or boy having money to
deposit has simply said TO himself
the very safest, the very strongest
and the most conservative Savings
Bank management is none too good
for me, and II the four per cent. in.
terest paid by the Hyde Park bank is
the highest rate OF interest paid by
any Vermont bank. and n It is per.
fectly safe TO send money by mail
and the records show that not a
dollar of deposits sent by mail ia
this bank was ever lost-why
shouldn't | place my funds for in.
vestment and safe keeping in the
Hyde Park bank?'
The question is a natural one and
the answer follows as naturally as
the night follows the day.
Really, there is nothing mysterious
about this abnormal and phenomenal
growth.
