eiaD. The report of the general board
of the National Home for Volunteer
Soldiers was filed with Congress, to-
Gay. In this report recommendations
are made for minor improvements at

These recommendations are based on
mild criticisms Of the management.
'fhe inspector, who visited the Home
last September recommends improved
service for the insane patients. and
more attention from the surgeons and
trained nurses. He says that non com
missfoned mess should have no better
rations than the general mess. and
that tubercular patients should be
moved to the mountain branch of the
