Fever consumes the body and the
tissues waste away, burnt up by the
heat. At the same time the appetite is
entirely gone and the stomach is in
capable OF digesiing anything but the
simplest food. If the fever Is very
great, solid food is given up entirely
and milk and strong broths depended
upon for nutrition. In ol6en times Il
was thought very detrimental to give
cold drinks to one with fever. or. in
deed. to give much to quench the thirst;
but these ideas-happily for the fever
patient-are row changed. The mili
may be given fresh or boiled. 1t ma!
be well to add lime water or barle,
water. and sometimes dash of setter
or vichy makes it light and easily di'
gested. The milk may have to be pep
tonized by the addition of powders pre-.
pared for the purpose in order to make
it very easy to digest.
There are many preparations, suc1
as koumiss, wheys and some of the
matted foods which can be prepared
with milk and which take the place oi
milk and vary the diet All patients
however, whether feverish or in neet
of a simple diet, can take milk in the
natural state for n long time withou
tiring of it. Beef Juice expressed from
round steak. slightly broiled so as t.
start the juice, and squeezed out b,
means of a metal lemon squeeZer or :

Editor National Tribune: Since read
ing your interesting article in The Ma

campment to be held at Saratoga, N Y,
in 1907, / have discussed the matter
with quite number of Grand Army
men, and find large majority in favor
Of holding the Encampment for 1907
in large city, and myself with a ma
jority in our community are in favor
of Washington, ID. c.. being the most
convenient as well as centrally located
for all comrades to assemble and be
entertained, where all things are con-
venient and rates satisfactory. I am
speaking from personal experience of
the past, and can never forget 1902
Another point in favor of Washington,
d. c., in 1907 is the convenience of at
tending the jamestown Exposition on
the same trip away from home and so
near by when attending the G. A. r.
