WAKENS TO FIND SELF IN HOSPITAL DORM Two or three days ater T awoke one morning in a Hospital dormitory. I was lying flat on my back. As I looked up at the ceiling, I realized my sight and hearing had returned, 1 turned my head. Horrors! I was look ing straight into the fage of a flu patient The face was but a few inches away from my own. 1 looked about. There were 16 or 18 beds in the dormitory, jammed close together. I asked someone what hospital this was, Nobody answered. I concluded it must be the King county hospital. I had no idea, even then, it was Steilacoom, By watching the sun and the shadows it cast, I was able to determine which direction was East, North, West and South. ‘An attendant came in with @ tray ‘and set it down on my bed in much the manner one would throw meat to a dog, I got hold of the tray and pulled it towards me, I tried to eat. At the first mouthful, I realised a new and intense pain. , INSIDE OF MOUTH CUT AND INFECTED Between the time they put me In the straitjacket and the time “came to” there in the hospital dor mitory, they had done something to my mouth. I think they had rammed a spoon into my mouth with much force that they had cut me. The inside of my mouth had become infected and was terribly swollen and sore, ‘On my tray were potatoes with the jackets on, unseasoned; an ess. dolled hard; some broth that was nothing but slop, and some milk of the bluest kind I have ever seen. I couldn't epen my mouth to bite anything. I peeled my ese and po tato and crushed pieces and pushed them into my mouth with the tips of my injured fingers. It was all I could do to swallow. Inmates take care of their own There was one do.” An attendant came in. I seemed to recognize her. I wanted to find ou! where my husband was, and what had happened. Most of all, I wanted my busband. NURSE SNUBS HER; ANOTHER YELLS AT HER “You're the nurse that Was at the bath tub, aren't you?” I asked. She snubbed me, didn't answer. Her manner was as if she had said, “Oh, you're just another idiot, Why should I talk to you?™ The head attendant came. She yelled my name and ordered me into the bath. She gave me a push thru the door into a bathroom with @ lot of other women inmates that were nothing but skin and bones. Somehow I washed myself. I was given a dirty gown and told to put it on. “Where is my husband?" I blurted out, “I don't know anything about your husband and don't care anything about him,” the head attendant fold All this time my husband had been phoning to ask about me every day and on a Sunday he and my brother had been there, but were told they couldn't see me. The doctor told ‘This was strange, my husband told them, because I had been to agentist Just before I left home. An inmate told me, “They'l) be putting you’ to. work.” Work? In a Mospital? 1 couldn't comprehend. But one morning I was ordered to take my breakfast at the table. I was given some old clothes. SCRAPS FROM TABLES OF THE HIGHERUPS 1 went out to the dining room and sat down with a lot of other women in similar garb. On that table was the worst looking food I have ever seen set before humans. It was simply tho scraps {rem the tables of the higher-ups. There were bits of egg, broken pieces of toast, parts of pan- cakes, ail jumbled together on the same dish. Sometimes, as a variation, I have seen warmed over, sloppy oatmeal, partly peeled vegetables, and bits of Gee, but Boldt's Bread is good! Advertisement.

Several mes I tried to get into conversation with the at- tendants, I wanted to find out something about my husband why he didn't come to see me On one of these occasions I told an attendant I, too, was a purse, She looked at me and sneered.
