POLITICS AND RATIONS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Mr Batchelor, a condidate for the Hospital Board, made some statements about the food in St. Helens Hospital. I was a patient in St. Helens Hospital eleven months ago, and 1 the food I received then was very good; I will give you from memory one day’s supplies. At 5 in the maiming you are awakened by the night nurse bringing a nice hot cup of'tea and a couple of biscuits; and at 7, after the nurse has finished attending to you, she brings you an apple. At 8 breakfast, consisting of a' largo basin of porridge, a cup

of coffee, and a slice of toast. At 10 a cup of cocoa and a couple of biscuits are brought in. At 12 dinner is served —a large howl of soup, and to those who can eat it meat and (wo different sorts of vegetables/ and then milk pudding. At 3 a cup of tea and a piece of cake. At 5 lea—a basin of bread and milk, a. cup of tea, and as much bread andjjntter or jam as you can eat. Then at 8 supper—a large how] of gruel and, if you wish; , a cup of milk. I do not think that is a bad day’s food for a sick woman, and that is an average day.—l am, etc.. Mrs Anthony. April, 19.
