 A woman who had been at the convalescent hospital at Camp Perry tells disagreeble story of her experience there. II was on my way to Atlanta" she says. II could have gone from Camp Perry on the 14th inst in, } stead of returning here but l was almost starving, and could not stand the trip. H came back to Jacksonville to get something \ to eat. The fare for the we'll if plain, would be good enough if properly cooked and nc E one would complain but just think of eating three times a day half done hominy, corr bread raw in the middle, and toughest and \ stringiest beef ever seen or dreamed of. These ' irregularities are almost sure to occur in 6 \ time of panic and confusion, but the sick and ! convalescent surely shoud have proper ! nourishment."
