ENOGGERA CAMP.

The Health of the Men.

REFERRING to the outbreak of meningitis in Queensland, where a few cases have occurred, Lieut.-Colonel Canon Garland recently stated that the greatest precautions were being taken to prevent any spread and it was this extra care that had probably started the rumour that there were many cases.

Indeed on the question of the comforts and health of the men at Enoggera camp he could not sneak too highly.

Blankets were aired daily and exposed to the sun for hours.

Nearly every tent in camp was struck every day and left inside out exposed to the sun.

The food was good and wholesome, and, generally speaking, well-cooked.

He occasionally joined the men at their ordinary ration meal, and if there was any room for grumbling he would very soon hear of it from the men themselves.

The last few days he had made a special point of being among the men at meal times, and there had not been a solitary growl from any, either as to quality or quantity of food.

The camps were conspicuous for their tidiness.
