They require the liquid diets and much depends upon the prognosis of the i-tse in the proper food supplied The ice, milk and broths that are now being supplied have l.ee.n purchased from small hospital fund, which sum 't has taken months to save, but the drain has been so heavy that it is about exhaus ted and we appeal to our friends at home for aid. What the boys need is money to purchase milk, ice, and the different soups, i. e., beef a, ui tail, etc These things can be purchased here at reasonable prices. These are the things we need and the only things, i would suggest that a relief committee be formed and subscriptions taken up for this purpose and the money forward ed by postortioe order to I)r.
