To accompany this dietary the board
has adopted strict rules for its enforce
ment, showing under what conditions it
is supposed to be departed from. These
rules are as follows:-
1.-THE schedule for the general diet is
subject to changes only at regular times,
and then by the board, except in cases
of emergency, when the medical director,
on consultation with the medical commit
tee of the board, If accessible, or in case
of an immediate emergency on his own
authority shall make such changes as
may be necessary. All changes are to be
recorded and reported to the board at its
next meeting by the medical director,
with the reasons therefor.
ION Friday the fish shall comprise,
from time to time, fresh and salt fish, in
cluding an occasional dish of oysters the
latter to be served to portion OF the
| house at a time. A sufficient quantity
of beef. hot or cold, shall on Friday be
served to patients who do not eat fish.
Vegetables of more than one kind be-
sides potatoes such as peas, beets, on
ions, parsnips, cabbage, macaroni, toma-
toes, not uniformly the same, but with
due regard to variety.
Milk, when not served to all, shall be
served as part of the special diet.
'Prunes and apple sauce not to be
served more than four times in one
week, and for the sake of variety; when
apples are obtainable, they should be used
so as to make two services of prunes and
two of apple sauce; neither of them in
any case to be substituted for fresh fruit
when it can be procured with reasonable
outlay
Special diet to be served on the order
of the medical director"
The rules of the institution require that
each supervisor shall make daily report
to the medical director to whether the
dietary is served according to schedule.
He must chronicle every deviation, giving
the articles emitted and those substitut
ed, if there are any.
An examination of these reports for
the past two months fails to disclose a
single day in which the dietary was fol-
lowed, and generally the omissions were
not made Up by the addition of other ar
ticles, while frequently less substantial
articles were substituted for those re-
quired.
Each of these reports is signed by the
supervisor, and the evidence they contain
is conclusive proof that the dietary is
farce and a humbug. Here are the en-
aorsements on some of the reports taken
at random from the records and not from
those showing any particular omissions:
July 7-East wing annex, G. w. Clay
pool, supervisor Breakfast, oat meal
and milk not served. Dinner. dessert not
served, tea served. Supper, beef not
served.
This date fell on a Sunday and a refer
ence to the dietary will show that on that
day, with oat meal and milk eliminated
and no substitute provided, eggs, pota-
toes, bread, butter and coffee constituted
breakfast. In the menu for dinner, tea
was substituted for dessert, while the
supper consisted solely of bread, butter,
tea and gingerbread, no substitute being
furnished for the absent meat.
