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. and Six Hundred Overcoats Spicy)I News From OtherColleges Syracuse will play again with the eleven from the 47th regiment next' Saturday.

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.
