by the floral onerings strewn upon their graves.
But what about the veterans who returned
from the front, torn by shot and SHE'LL unable to
resume their places in the ranks of the work
ers without means of sefsupport and unwilling
to thrust themselves upon their kith and kin?
At the close of the Civil War. when more than
half a million men laid down their arms Of war
and In a few months were transformed from
soldiers to citizens. the question Of what to do
with those who were incapacitated arose.
Pensions are well enough in their way, but
pensions are not sufficient" declared Congress.
I'VE must do more" continued the members Of
both House and Senate I'VE must establish a
home for those who have homes" and this
sentiment crystallized into what is now of
the most important features with which the ma
ton deals
The National Home for disabled volunteer SOL
diers is located In the District OF Columbia
There are branches Of the National Home at Day
ton, O.; Milwaukee. Wis; Togus. Me-; Hampton.
Va; Leavenworth. Kan; Santa Monica. Cal;
Marion Ind; Danville, ILL.,; johnson City. Tenn,
and Hot Springs. s. d.
There are state homes for disabled volunteer
soldiers provided by the states Of California.

Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts Michigan Mime
sofa Missouri Montana Nebraska, New Hamp-
SHIRE New Jersey, New York. North Dakota.
Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania. Rhode Island. South
Dakota. Vermont, Washington. Wisconsin and

Some idea of the extent Of the properties sup
ported by the Federal government may be had
from the last report Of the board Of managers in
which the acreage of the homes is set down as
$500 valued at $4s3.474.s5. On this land are
buildings aggregating a value Of $10.513648.4
To acquire this property, to maintain 1t and to
care for the thousands of soldiers. the total out
lay up to the close of 1911 has been in the neigh
borhood of 800, 1000.
When the first home established. within
the year. there were $40 veterans cared for.
Then each succeeding year increased at the rate
of almost 900 per year until in 1908. the great
est number, 34,949. were taken care of. At the
. same time the death rate among the veterans
Increased year by year. and from 1895 per 1000.
I'm 1867. 1t has advanced to $3.50 per 1000.
Yet when one takes into consideration the
nhvsical condition of soldiers when admitted to
the homes and that 1t has been Al years since
the Civil War, the death rate Is really low. for
the average life of the old soldiers has been a
triae more than 10 years-a ripe age for the ma
iority of men Indeed, this alone is most not
able tribute to the government for its excellent
care of its wards.

the first rows. then follow those less afflicted
that all are given equal advantages as far as 1t
is possible to arrange.
In the vast amount of work to be done at the
homes the inmates take their part and thereby
little extra for themselves, for the gov
eminent pays them according to what they can
do. Some of the homes have farms attached
on which the men do considerable of the work
AT other homes the men look after grounds. while
at all of the homes there are those who act as
guards or guides.
The money they receive for their work is all
extra, for they receive their pensions Just the
same and they at liberty to either spend
their funds for Injuries at the commissary or

great trouble that the commandants
of the various homes have had has
been the control Of the soldiers who
persist in patronizing the saloons
that are to be found Just beyond
the gates. but, by vigilance. the old
men are kept from getting into any
trouble.
When a soldier is stricken with
illness he is sent to the hospital.
where every possible attention Is
given him. His diet is specially
prepared to suit his needs and there
is nothing too good for him. It
might be added that the hospital Is
always well occupied. for there are
many who are failing in health and
strength and are patiently waiting
the setting of the sun.

to residents OF Idaho and to PEG.
pie In the far east.
In this number the "See Idaho
First" feature Is particularly dwelt
upon, and both the reading matter
and the numerous half tone illustra-
tions furnish conclusive argument that
the people Of the eastern states
should make Idaho their future home
and at the same time impress upon
the people already living In the state
that they are among the fortunate
jewellers of the earth.
The motif of the December Idaho
Club sWOman Is to set clearly before
It's readers what electricity Is doing
for the state. The lead article is
New Uses For Electric Power" by
e. A. Wilcox, and in this Is shown
how electricity Is made to serve the
double duty of irrigating the land

in winter. How to Solve the Ser

appliances and the Intelligent aid Of
the club women, is exhaustively treat
ed by the editor, Mrs. Martha Spang-
Ter, while r. Alderman, of Salt Lake
City, has an article along the same
line. The happy lot OF the farmers
wife when she has electricity to do
her work is told by Robert w.
Spangler. The illustrations show farm
homes without chimneys, and point
out definitely the farmers who light,
heat and cook by electricity in Ida

A picture OF the new state capitol
at Boise is shown together with a
lengthy description of the building,
showing how electricity heats, cools,
ventilates, runs the elevators, the
new methods Of lighting, and other
matters Of interest is told by J. E..
TourteIotte, Of Boise, the architect
of the building.
Emmett comes to the front with a
description and illustration OF West
lake Place, Senator A. A. Richards
electric farm home. A number OF
farmers In the vicinity Of Emmett
use electricity for heating and cook
ing and doing much OF the farm
work.
Jerome and the North Side Tract
exploit D. G. MacWatters' Over
brook farm and the residence Of J.
B. vonWagener as examples of what
electricity Is doing there. Jerome
and Wendell have many homes where
electricity does the work, and many
farmers on the North Side never
have to carry out the ashes nor
build fires on cold mornings.
Mrs. Jean Comfy Smith, OF Boise,
tells of some Of the scenic wonders
of the state and gives reasons why
there should be national park In
the Reddish lake country. She says
that Idaho lis the logical highway for
the Panama exposition, and IL this
park is set aside and properly adver-
tised it would reveal wonderland to
hundreds and thousands Of visitors.
