War Office Makes Poor plans.

Truly the British war office has not
lately distinguished itself IN any Of It's
departments. and probably nothing has
more clearly shown the inadequacy OF
its management than the plans which
they have just completed for the mill
tary hospital at Millbank.
The Queen, who is deeply interested
in army nursing. expressed her dissatis-
faction with the design on account Of
the inadequate provision made for The
nurses. The plans provided for ten feet
square cubicles for each sister. with no
fireplaces and no means Of heating. no
sitting room for the sisters, and none
for the nurses.
The Queen, with her usual generosity,
Immediately offered TO give E20J0 in or
der that the accommodation should be
better but this offer was refused, and
Arnold Foster has been characteristical-
" deaf to all criticism and advice.

The varied meals which these gentle

It Is So Simple.
When DR.. Brousse was interviewed.
he said. speaking Of the great lodging
house which Is called the Darlington
House:
I'VE have learned much. It is so
simple. You have your bed your food
