The medical officers of the navy have been seriously considering the subject of more rational food for the navy, including a diet for invalids, and have finally solved the problem of the proper food for rapidly building up convalescents in_ naval hos- pitals. Surgeon General Van Reypen, who has been specially active in the matter, says that the full new diet table of the navy was the result of most patient and thorough investigation conducted by Sur- geon J. D. Gatewood, who consulted all the leading authorities on the subject. % From the time a hospital patient is in such a low state of health that the diet is confined mostly to milk, through the period of eggs, often in the form of egg-nog, the theoretic administering of food is exclu- sively of medical interest, but when a pa- tient has passed all danger and may be alolwed to eat heartily to put him in con- dition for the arduous duties of shipboard, the system which has demonstrated un- precedented value intimately concerns al- most every living human being. In the preparation af the new diet tabic every care was exercised to provide for a proper quantity of proximate principles in a variety of food suitable for a liberal diet. For each meal in the table running through @ week, the precise amounts of albumi- noids, carbohydrates and fats were ar- ed, bearing well in mind the prefer- ences developed by a seaman’s life. The bills of fare represent not only the ideal poor man’s food, but food that cannot be surpassed for royalty as well, It is found in practice, from the returns of all hos- pitals, that these meals cost an average of 30 cents per day per person, or about 10 cents per méal. The tables are thought to constitute the best possible fare for those who eat to live, and even for tl who live to eat they represent a most excellent foundation for carrying other gastronomic luxuries.

Many Boxes of Candy Wagered on a Basket Rall Game. The game of basket ball at the Carroll Institute gymnasium tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock between teams of young ladies from the Central High School and Carroll Institute, promises to be one of the most exciting games every piayed here between girls. Both teams have been practicing al- most datly for the past several weeks, and it is claimed that they will put up the most scientific game ever seen here, their passing being remarkably clever. The fame will attract, it is expected, a very large attendance, in which, however, no member of the sterner sex will appear. Admission to the game will be by card. Mr. Maurice Joyce, instructor of Carroll Institute gymnasium, will umpire the game. Each team will be composed of five play- ers, and innumerable boxes of candy are being wagered on the success of the teams by their respective adherents, the High School team seeming to be the favorite. Yet, the admirers of that team, it is cla’ ed, are not willing to give odds. —__— AMPUTATION NECESSARY. Arthur Meister Loses a Hand, Result of Gunning Accident. Arthur Meister of this city met with a serious accident yesterday while gunning about a mile east of Hyattsville. He was sitting on a fence waiting for several of his companions from whom he had been sep- arated, and in attempting to raise his gun the trigger in some way caught against the fence. The whole load went into his right hand, near the wrist joint. He was brought to this city, where it was found that am- putation would be necessary. a Thanksgiving Dinner. The ladies of the First Spiritualist Asso- ciation Ladies’ Aid Society gave a dinner to the poor yesterday at the residence of Mrs. Carrie Chapman, 110 € street south- east. The pastor, Mrs. C. L. V. Richmond, requested at the services last Sunday that the weli-to-do members of the congrega- tion not only contribute food for the occa- sion, but that they should purchase tickets and present them to worthy ;ersons. A large number enjoyed the feast, who otherwise vould not have partaken of a Thanksgiving dinne: > The Evidence Conflicting.
