Attention, soldiers.

--Every soldier in the field knows the importance to health of good bread, but many of them have to do without that necessary article because they cannot obtain hope, and know of no substitute. We learn from reliable authority that the dried leaf of corn (fodder) is an admirable substitute for hope. The infusion is prepared in the same way. Practice will soon determine the quantity of fodder necessary to be used. At the Hugue not Springs Hospital, where there are now four hundred and fifty patients, fodder is used instead of hope by the bakers, and those who have tasted the bread say it is equal in every respect to any they ever saw. Let every soldier note this fact.
