Instructions have been sent by telegraph

1T having been reported to the War De-
partment that many convalescent soldiers
who have received furloughs and started
for their homes have been taken i'll on the

this kind. 1t is suggested in the strongest
possible terms that all soldiers travelling
homeward on furloughs will exercise their
best judgment in caring for themselves,
especially those VINO have been i'll in hos
pitfalls with fevers. Their appetites are
very keen, and unless they deny themselves
everything except the necessary food of
the simplest character they are in great
danger of a relapse. This instruction is
sent out hoping that 1t may catch the
eye of those men en- route, and also for the
instruction of surgeons at hospitals. It
Is ordered that no man shall receive fur
Tough whom the surgeon in charge believes
to be unable to travel alone, and that no
furloughed soldier shall leave hospital
without receiving full instructions as to his
diet while en- route to his home from his
