[Sidenote: Preparation of Food]
If the purchase of a good quality of food for the patients in a hospital is important, the preparation and serving of it is of still greater importance. The most expensive food may be spoiled in cooking, or be served in such a manner that the patient has no desire for it. On the other hand, the cheaper article may be so tastily prepared that it will be readily partaken of.
