A new feature which has been much
appreciated by the more feeble in
mates is the religious and visiting
committee which has provided relig-
ious services and good music at reg
ular intervals at the home.
During the year, two of the in
mates passed away. One from the
effects OF an accident and one from
old age. This is small death rate,
considering the advanced ages of the
larger part OF the members of the
home.
AS the year closes and we sum UP
what has been accomplished, we feel
that our labors have not been in vain
and with our growing city, we look
forward to still greater results In the
succeeding year.

Executive Committee Report.


The past year at the Benevolent
Union Home has had it's days of Joy
as well as sorrow, which come to all
in the course OF life. We We're indeed
fortunate during this long severe
winter to have had very little sick
ness, only slight indisposition occa-
stoned by colds and old age.
Two deaths have occurred at the
Home during the year, that of Miss
Carpenter, caused by an accident. A
month later occurred the death Of
Mrs. Boatman, who reached the ripe
old age Of "a years.
The Home was never in more
condition than at present,
being taxed to its capacity, having
nine women and three children in
it's family. We are all working and
striving to attain long felt want,
that is building wing on our present
quarters SO we can grow and keep up
the pace of Greater Keokuk.
Mrs. Mosley, our matron, puts forth
her best efforts to conduct this insti-
tuition on sanitary and economical
basis and this family Of fourteen live
in perfect accord, harmony and con.
tentment.
There have been thirteen applica-
tons. presented by women during the
year, six having been accepted and
seven rejected. Some Of these appli-
cations were mere inquiries, perhaps
/ for the future, while two could not
be accommodated for lack of room.
Seventeen applicatins came in be-
half of children, seven Of which we
were only able to take care of for
| want of room. A great number OF
these children were too young to care
for themselves, and while 1t is hard
to turn deaf ear to the cry of the
helpless ones, We had not sufficient
help to wait on very young children
so we were not In position to take
them.
! All the inmates are now doing nice
lily, among them Grandma Malm who
will celebrate her 95th birthday or
Monday.

lty of thanking the members of the
executive committee for their untir
! ing efforts and ready cooperation in
all the work that has come before US

makes no Roadway. This con-

WASHINGTON. - Behind a WIRE
W screened cage employees of the
United States government have now
gone into the laundry business. They
are washing United States bank
notes and ironing them. It Is not
generally understood that when any
body gets old greenbacks, it does not
make any difference whether a dollar
or a thousand, if he sent it to the
treasury department and requested a
new bill he would have to have it..
All the bankers in the country have
always had the right to turn In all old
money and get new for it. The old
money was assorted, counted and tied
in packages in the treasury depart
ment and then taken to big eyelet
machine, where great holes. were cut
through the bundles of money, and
from there it was sent to a macerator,
where it was chewed up into fine pulp
