BENEFITS WILL BE FOR WOMEN OF WORLD WAR Ex-Service Women Are Eli gible for Care m Soldiers’ Homes—Decision Made. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8. — Amer ican ex-service women who need medical attention, whether for disa bility incurred in the war or by illness or injury suffered since, mV receive such treatment from -.he government, it has been announ 1 here by Eudora M. Clover, adm'u istrator of disabled service women for the American Women Ov vs •. i League. The league, Miss Clover explained, has received this assurance from the war department. It means that all women who have been or may be enlisted under such status as army nurse, navy nurse, yoemanette or marinette will be eligible, on pro ducing an honorable discharge and a proper certificate of disability, to cars and maintenance in a govern ment hospital nr home. The duration’ of the disability, or the time and manner in which it has been in flicted, will make no difference, ac cording to the announcement. Such permanent disabilities as old age will entitle a woman to care forj the rest of her life, hut entry into J a government institution will entail no obligation to remain, a patient! being as welcome fo entry for an operation or a brief illness. The \ government will pay thp cost of; transportation to eligible applicants.! In view of the comparatively few women claiming such attention aj-r this time, the national soldiers'! home at Danville, 111., has been ! designated for all patients of the Immediate future. There two brick buildings have hepn set aside fori the exclusive use of the women. • There also is a hospital with more than 200 beds. It is estimated that there are approximately 52.000 women eligible for this benefit should they nepd it Previously these women had been held entitled only to the relief af forded them by the Veterans’ Bu-| reau, which required a 10 percent disability attrihutahie directly to service for the army or navy. The new ruling places ex-service' women on an equal footing with ex service men. Applicants are advised to apply to General George H. Wood, of the! National Home for disabled voiun-l teer soldiers at Dayton, Ohio. Ap plication blanks ar^ available ati the National homes in Milwaukee,! Wis., Augusta, Me., Leavenworth.

Only two of the five major farm products in the United States have been as high as the general price level, says the New York State College of Agrieuture, Cornell Uni versity. They are dairy products and cotton. A short crop enhanced cotton prices. In dairying con ditions were normal. Two billion dollars is the total received by dairy farmers for 1923. This is several times the proceeds of the wheat crop.

Farmers are learning the value of well bal anced rations, clean stabling and sanitary methods, such as clipping: 1 flanks and adders at regular periods. This practice helps to purify the milk, adds to the com fort of the animal, improves health and increases production. j Washington statistics show milk, consumption increased 2S per cent, from 1917 to 1&22, while thepopu-< Ration increase was not qrer lS jpd j P Weather Conditions As Recorded by the U.
