txxo are noxv being cared for iu thebo sopa-

the commlssloneiN of the count. in xxhich
they have been residing for at least tw o v otm
prior to their application , and in whiih also
they must have been dependent upon the

It Is proposed in the amendment to haxo
this ilopenilency ceitilieil to In the ilislilu
Judges in. stead of the county commissioners
Ills also proposed to iecei\o no xxoin.in
Into tbo homo who is not ut least tifty years

There lias been found to bo gooil icasons
for this change and the state is not without
preci'iiont. In the soldiers' liomea , under the
direction of the general gox eminent , no
wives are admitted. Among the other sol
diers' homes throughout the states there are
only three which care for women. It Is not
liupiohnblothut eventually the law xvlll bo
aincniloil so ns to exclude xxonicn even from
