Every- thing of poorest quality and everything poorly cooked. “Betore_ C. T. Dearborn’s arrival as steward we used to get two eaxs each meal, but he cut us down to two eggs a day,” said one of the patients yesterday to a Star man investigating conditions. “Our chief complaint in this ward is against the food. Most of it is unfit for anybody, and especially for us, as Our stomachs are in a very delicate condition. The milk and ems should be of the very highest grade for our disease, but they give us poor, diluted milk; and the poorest | eggs oy the market, and got enough of them.” The condition in the consumptive ‘ward is not materially affected by the strike, as the nurse, Miss Helder, was receiving $65 a month, | and remained at work.
