Miss Margaret Garrard. of Norris
town, ". J., volunteer worker among
the sick at Camp Wikoff, said she visit
ed the camp for the first time after the
arrival of troops on Sept. Is. Before
then she had visited the trains carrying
soldiers from Montauk Point and found
many evidences of neglect. Men too
weak to help themselves were found
lying unconscious on the streets Of Long
Island City. and in every instance
where she made inquiry she learned
that there were neither doctors nor
nurses on the trains of the con-
valescents. Medical attention and
nursing, Miss Garrard said, were very
good during the ten days she was at
Camp Wikoff. She found considerable
fault with the treatment of the con-
valescents and complained bitterly of
the lack of consideration shown to the
friends and relations of sick soldiers
who visited them in the hospitals.

but that was the best treatment for the
disease? Many of the deaths in Cuba
were due TO the ignorance of the men
affected. The doctors told them If you
eat. you die Still they ate. The vol
unteer ladies who went to Montauk as
nurses did more harm than good. Their
intentions were all right, but they did
not accomplish their purpose. They had
at their quarters soda water, ginger
ale. champagne cider, chicken and bread
and butter. They sympathized with the
men landing from the transports and
invited them to eat and drink. OF course
the men warted to eat and the volun-
teer ladies gave them chicken and other
edibles. A few days later the men
would be dead and the volunteer ladies
would go around blaming the govern
ment."
This closed the days work.

Miss Garrard Finds Much Lacking at
Wikof-UnEaliant Lieut.. Edwards.
New York, Nov. 21-When the war
investigating commission met Saturday
Mrs. Edwin c. AIlis. of New York, who
went to Camp Wikoff Sept. to help
nurse the sick. was the first witness
called. She said that some of the hos
pital wards were overcrowded. while
others were entirely empty and shut up.
She complained that the food was poor
and badly cooked, that the sanitary
conditions were bad. Summing up her
conclusions Mrs. Allis thought there
were not enough attendants in the hos
pital and that no care was taken to
separate the dying. the delirious and
the convalescent patients.
Captain Edward II. Plummer, OF the
Tenth cavalry, now an aide-de-camp
on General Skaters staff, who was
brigade quartermaster with the Fifth
Army corps at Skaters headquarters
near Santiago. said that on July 1 he
started for the front with wagons of
rations. Orders from General Shafter
stopped the train because an engage
ment was imminent. After the fight he
saw General Shafter and obtained per-
mission to follow the ammunition
wagons and unload provisions sufficient
for all the men on the fighting line
early in the evening July l. In reply to
a direct question If the transportation
under his charge was sufficient and If
the work Of transportation was salts
factorily accomplished, Captain Plum
mer said the transportation was limit
ed. but he did not believe that more
wagons could have been used because
or the limited facilities for loading the
wagons in Siboney and the narrowness
of the roads over which the supplies
had to be drawn.

the men in the trenches on account Of

THE LITTLE ENCYCLOPEDIA

A quart of oysters contains, on the aver
age, about the same quantity OF nutritive
substance as quart of milk or a pound OF

proposed canal than on any equal amount OK

About mid-afternoon is the best time for
gentle outdoor exercise. Early morning ex-
ercise is as much to be avoided as early men
tai or physical labor, because at that time
vitality is at its lowest ebb, and it needs
stimulation rather than further taxing; none
but the gentlest exercise should be taken un-
It'll the exhausted system has been supplied
with abundant nourishment.
II is stated that syndicate has been
formed to acquire certain inventions for
generating electricity by air. The discov-
ery. if reports are to be relied upon, is one
of the most important and far-reaching Of
the century. With a small apparatus,
weighing only few pounds, and without the
aid of gas, or steam power, or dynamo, suf-
Ificient current can be generated for lighting
ANY ordinary dwelling house. Experiments
conducted over period Of some months are
lsad to show that very striking results can
lbe obtained by this method, and that the
!current developed remains quite constant.
by means of this invention, it is expected
that the supply of electric current will be
brought within the reach of all without the
necessity of taking it from corporation or
company mains, and at trifing cost as com.
pared with the present charges for current.
