DANVILLE SOLDIERS

HOME HOUSES 1,500; WAS OPENED IN 1899

MOUNT C ARM EL. 111., Oct. 3. Comparatively few people of Illinois and adjacent states are aware that the federal government maintains a haven of refuge for any disabled soldier of any war at Danville, 111., and that this institution in the home town of "Uncle Joe" Cannon is really a remarkable one. Those who do know of it have but little idea of its size or the scope of work done there. This was the expression of Major E. M. Rowland, treasurer of the home while on a visit here. Major Rowland was formerly a local newspaper editor. The home for soldiers at Danville is one of 10 founded for disabled soldiers in the United States, under an act of congress passed in March, 1865, before the guns had ceased to mutter in Civil war. Home Has 52 Buildinos.

The home at Danville in on 225 acres. There are 62 buildings, 14 of which are barracks, where most of the inmates live. There is a modern hospital of 25 beds, with a surgeon, five assistant surgeons and 13 nurses to care for those ill. In the general mess hall where the more able bodied members are fed, there is a room for 720 at each sitting. There are about 1,500 pensioners in the home. Most of them are veterans of the civil war, although several hundred are Spanish-American and World war veterans. Each quarter the pensioners receive about a quarter of a million dollars from Uncle Sam. The first home for volunteer soldiers opened under the act of 18C5 was the one at Togus, Me., in 1866. The next was at Dayton, O., the following year. The Danville home was not opened until 1899.

OR the man of affairs, the Milburn Light Electric fits his moods, as well as it meets his demands. It is a smart, easy to drive car. He stens into its clean.

finely finished interior, grasps the starting lever, and away he goes no uncertainty, no noise, no fuss or exertion! Quickly and easily in and out of traffic, the driver's nerves are not on edge nor his mind worried. No car fits better into every part of the family daily program than the Milburn Light Electric. From morning until night, it is always ready, clean and inviting, adequate fcr each demand and suitable for every occasion. The low-swung beauty of the body, the step at just the proper height, the seats properly arranged for five, and the cleanliness and nicety of the interior finishings, are features that find increasing favor. Add to this its lightness and extreme economy and the Milburn makes an appeal to both men and women.
