Complains of Hospital
Three weeks in the hospital at the
Sawtelle home and given but three
doses of medicine during that time,
and fed with Scanty, coarse and ILL
cooked food is the story told by a
member of Funston's famous Twentieth
Kansans who lives now at Long Beach.
The Kansan was confined in the hos
pital during the inspection in March
by Colonel Wadsworth and other men,
bers of the board of managers from
New York.
"The food, both in quality and
quantity, improved fourfold while the
inspecting officers were present" de-
clares the Spanish war veteran, but
as soon as they had left the grub was
even worse than before"
The former soldier was sent to the
hospital for incisions resulting from an
operation for appendicitis performed a
year previous. 'The physicians and
attendants were incompetent" the
Philippine veteran said, and there
seemed to be no disposition to do any
thing. During the inspection the chief
surgeon inquired what was being done
for me and was told that 1 was being
allowed to rest. Rest will do no good,
the chief surgeon told Dr. MeNery of
the home. Get an electrical massage
machine, apply 1t frequently and per-
haps, if you find it necessary, perform
another operation Then the party
from New York, with their gold and
braid and white gloves passed on.
Calls Food Execrable
Nothing was done for me except
that Dr. Parker told me to rub my
body with my hands. A few days later
1 applied for a furlough and got away.
"The food was execrable. l was
given half cooked rice and peas so hard
they ratified when they dropped on the
floor The coffee was bitter They
gave me beef stew that was worse
than anything I ate in the Philippines
or in the army camps in this country.
There was no sugar and no seasoning
in the food.
when [ first went there I made
some strong complaints. The aged vet
Grams of the civil war kindly told me
it was no use complaining, that 1 would
only be thrown out. The aged men
poor fellows!-have to stand it, they
have nowhere else to go. But I got
away and have never been back"
The Kansan pleaded that his name be
withheld. IT am still under orders
from the home" he said. "If my name
is used 1 will be dishonorably dis
charged from the army and my pension
papers will be withheld"

"Why don't you let the poor little

AIDS TO NAVIGATION.

According to Captain Pond, inspec-
tor Of this lighthouse district, much
viii be done this summer in installing
additiona aids to navigation in
Alaska waters, notwithstanding that
the congressional appropriation falls
far short of what is needed and will
not be sufficient to do more than to
supply the less expensive aids, leav-
ing nothing whatever to cover the
larger projects which have the ap-
proval of the lighthouse board.
Captain Pond has recommended g
distinct aids to navigation, including
four frst-class light and signal sta
tons and one other lighthouse, for
which no provision has been made by
congress as yet. The work of the
board in selecting the
proper places for establishing new
aids was so we'll and thoroughly
done that the Masters and Pilots
Association of this city approved
every one and had no suggestions OF
changes to be made.
The work to be done this summer
will tend somewhat toward improving
conditions in northern waters, but
will still leave much to be desired in
that neglected quarter. Probably no.
where else in the civilized world is
there as extensive and valuable a
commerce, carried by as many vessels
in inland waters, where so little has
been done to aid navigation, and
where such long chances of imperil-
ing life and property have therefore
to be taken as a necessary incident
to navigation.
taken as a necessary incident to navi-
cation.
There is progressive improvement
in conditions, but it is hard to secure
adequate appropriations by congress.
1t is regrettable fact that the Ca
madam waters on this route are far
better provided with aids to naviga-
tion than is the case with the waters

Repeated efforts of this kind fnall,

possibility Of the schoolroom being
responsible for a fair share should
ever be borne in mind.

when the system of ventilation is not
