The 81 State Homes.

Besides the National Home and the
Government Hospital for the Insane
at Washington, D. c., there are 81
State Homes for soldiers and sailors
in 81 differene states.
The Act of Congress of August n,
1888, provided for the payment OF
Federal aid to the state maintaining
these homes Sor the care of disabled
veterans. and it provided for the in
spection of such homes and for the
payment of the amounts to which the
states were entitled under an act pas
ed by the Board of Managers of the
National Home.
There was distributed under this
authority during the last fiscal year
81 100 90 and there has been dispurs-
ed to these state homes, thru the
treasurers of the Board of Managers
of the National Home, a total OF APP
proximately $23,3OO,OO0.
At the close of June 80. 1915, these
state homes were caring for 1904
members, and the cost per capita TO
the year 1914-15 was $259.O1. These
homes expended for maintenance in
addition to the Federal aid during
the year named, the sum of $2,247.O3.
A Generous and Ample Provision
No other country in the world has
made such generous provision TOR us
disabled soldiers and sailors as the
United States has done.
With rapidly increasing mortal
ity among the civil war veterans ther
will be a consequently increasing de-
cline in the membership of the branch
| and of the state homes, and an IN
crease of quarters for the disabled
! soldiers and sailors of the present
and of the immediate future Army
and the Navy.
It is seen, therefore, that uncie
Sam is amply prepared with broad
reservations. with barracks ana nos
nitals. and with well-equipped homes
with thoroughly organizer manage
ments. and with competent, expert
enced medical stats to shelter and 10
care for his sick and his wounded de
tenders in the event of any war 'ha'
may come.

MEN
SUCCESSFUL
GEORGE MORTIMER PULLMAN.

Pullman was born in family OF mod
crate circumstances and at the age OF
fourteen went to work in small store as
bov-of- all-work At seventeen, he went
to work for his older brother as cabinet
maker The knowledge gained at this
work proved to be valuable TO him IN
after years. -, =.
lie carfully saved his earnings. and at
the age of twenty-one, had few dol
lars with which to begin business. Al
this time the Erie Canal was in process
of widening. and all sorts OF buildings
had TO be removed so young Pullman be,
gan making contracts. This work proved
proftabIe. and soon after he moved 10
Chicago and continued in this business;
In 1858 he became interested IN the
Sleeping car problem. The cars In use
then contained three tiers of shelves on
each side of the car and were far from
comfortable He began experimenting
and i'm a few years built the first Pullman
car. the Pioneer" at a cost OF $lS,O0O
Success came step by step, and In 1871
90 the gross earnings of the company
amounted to more than ten million dol
lars. Today they pay from tWenty-hVe
TO seventy-hv thousand dollars for each
Pullman car. .st

Each year as the veterans increase
in age and infirmities the hospital be-
comes more important part of the

and their assistants. are appointed
with the utmost care, and they are,
as a class. both highly efficient and
proficient in the service they are rem
dering to the thousands of old men
who daily come under their skill.
go. The Discipline in the Home
In speaking of the discipline of the
home for the past fiscal year Maj. w.
P. Jacgson, Inspector-General, repre-
senting the War Department, states
that: Good discipline, as a rule, has
been maintained at oil the branches,
the principal offenses, as usual, being
drunkenness, taking liquor into the
branches, and being absent without
leave. One of the hardest problems
connected with the home is how TO
handle members addicted to the use
of liquor not only for their own good
but also to prevent their actions from
disturbing the comfort of well-behav-
ed members. The majority of this
class of offenders are old men, who
have lost whatever moral will power
they may have possessed"
The punishment usually awarded
for the violation of the rules are:
Deprivation of pass or other privileg
es, confinement to reservation or bar
racks, and performance of labor with
out pay. No member is compelled to
work who is not physically able to
performe the light task given as pun
| ishment. The great majority of the
members are well-behaved, and APP
preciate the privileges and comforts
and beauty of the home. No member
can be dishonorably discharged from
the home without the sanction of the
board of managers.
In speaking of his last annual in
spection of the home, Maj. jackson
says 1.-The general condition and
management of the home were found
to be very good. Its affairs have been
conducted efficiently and economically
} The welfare and comfort of all the
various members have been properly
provided for. Opportunity was given
the members at each branch to NEE;
the inspector privately for the pur,
pose of making complaints. Seventy
members appeared before him. Al
the complaints were carefully invest
gated; in four of them remedial &C
; ton was deemed necessary, and the
, facts were therefore brought to thu
| attention of the governor of thu
: branch"
At the close of the last fiscal yeal
there were 35 members in the Nation
al Home who had served in the Mex
can War
