Down in the lower part of the
State there is an isolated place where
all leapers are sent, which is called
the ''leper camp" and those sent
there are never allowed to leave it.
Last week four Sisters of Charity ar
rived at the camp to take care of
these poor unfortunates. These
noble women and ministering angels
will remain for life to care for the
outcasts. II this is not self-sacri-
fee, what it it.
