HIGH COST OF LIVING REDUCES
MENU CARD FOR LOUISVILLE
OLD SOLDIERS
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 3.-High cost of
Living, the national bogey has pre-
pented a curious situation at the Ken-
tucky Confederate Home at Peewee
Valley about fifteen miles from here,
where the trustees of the institution
have reduced the number of meals for
the 200 old soldiers from three ta two.
daily.
What is regarded as a fair sample
of menus provided coffee, tea or milk,
hot biscuits and butter, hominy and
oatmeal, and molasses for breakfast.
For dinner the veterans were given
veal and mutton, string beans, sliced
tomatoes, stewed peaches, corn bread,
coffee and milk. Breakfast is served
about an hour later than under the
three-meals-a-day plan and dinner
about an hour earlier.
"Dg ffty per cent of the people of
thia state who pay taxes to support
the Confederate home fare any bet-
ter day by day than these aged sol-
diers?" a statement from the trustees
asks. "The poll of the board of trus-
tees shows that two-thirds of them
only eat two meals daily. Men whose
average age is 77 do not need same
amount of food as men that labor."
Appended to the statement is a cer-
tification by the medical board of the
home that the food supplied the (d
soldiers is healthful and abundant,
and that no attempt is made to limit
the supplies furnisheA to invalid sol-
diers in the itmtary.
The t %% ot supported by an appro-_
prlatin from the state of $3,500
Monthly. This appropriation made at
the last session of the General Assem-
bly in 1916 was deemed ample to meet
all demands. The greatly increased
,cost of all supplies has made It in-
adequate.
Diminution, bf the number of meals
aroused a. storm of protests, especial-.
ly from Confederate veterans in all
parts of tnw state.
Af detailing the amount of mon-
ey yaylabl. under the state's appro-
priation, the statement submits a ta-
ble showing the difference in the cost
of supplies now and at the time of
,the appropriation waa made. There
has been, 6,eerding to the table, an
ava increase in cost on all the.
articles used at the home of 54 per
cent.
The statement calls attention to the
fact that expenditures on behalf of
the home can only be paid after the
bills have been certified by the state
auditor to the state treasurer and
that this certification will be refused
if the monthly appropriation is ex-
ceeded..
The 'statement says that with prices
of supplies at their present level the
home would face a deficit of $8,000 at
the end of the year if the economies
instituted had not been adopted. It
then adds, "As Confederate soldiers
and citizens of integrity we cannot
afford to 'bilk' the merchants of
Louisville out of $8,000 worth of sup-
plies even for the Confederate home."
In view of this situation the board
says it was confronted with a choice
of two courses: To close the home
and let the inmates return, to the
points from which they came, or to so
economize that the home could be
continued in operation until the Gen-
eral Assembly meets again early in
1918, when a larger appropriation
probably could be obtained.

Feeding Fish by Electricity
Topeka, Kan., Oct. 3.-Electric
lights are to be installed at the state
fish hatchery to attract bugs at night,
which are to be made use of as food
for the fish.
Under a plan worked out by W. G.
Tegemier, state fish and game war-
den, the electric lights will. be in-
stalled at the hatchery at once. The
plan, worked out. by Mr. Tegemier
while he was on the northern lakes
this summer, is expected to yield suf-
ficient food for the fish to more than
pay for the installation of the lights.
While at the lakes, he notieed lights
suspended over the water for the con-
venience of fishermen and boatmen.
Fish came under the lights waiting
for the bugs attracted by the illum-
ination.
