some time. he is threatened with an attack of
malaria and several days ago DR. Noble Younp

ers consists of fish, half a loaf of bread pota-
toes and quart of coffee for breakfast at
eight o'clock. and fresh or salt beef sOun
potatoes and corn bread for dinner served at
three o'clock. For sick diet. such as Guiteau is
now receiving, toast and milk or tea. is al
lowed at both meals. As stated Yesterday he
objected to his toast. The guard. speaking
ironically. said: IF you don't like the way it is
fixed, go out in the kitchen and fix il yonrseIf
You can go there" Guiteau looked at him a
moment and. thinking that he was in earnest
shrugged his shoulders and said: '.Oh. no." yery

allowed to enter the kitchen for a moment. or
indeed, to leave his cell or corridor

be favorite with Guiteau. Thinking that the

well. being awakened, however, whenever the
guards made their rounds.
