AN ECONOMICAL SUGGESTION.

To ths EditOr Of the Wig:
yters at the Volunteer Camps concur in saying, that
Immense waste of provisions may be seen everywhere in
C.up To insure that the soldiers have enough, much
more than enough is furnished In Companies where
there are many sick the waste must nearly equal the COZ
sumption.
TOTS is because the soldiers do their cooking Let
cook (neFo) be hired for each Company, and let two
or three stoves be furnished for EACH One cook can
well attend to three stoves.
Stoves capable of cooking for fifty men each can b.
furnished for $780, II they not to be had at once let
s,ms foundry be set making theu selecting the best
No lei in use, and most convenient size.
BY this arrangement rators not wanted will be saved,
not wasted at present. The saving in provisions and
