because he has discovered some trick to prevent

A RED CROSS NURSE.
Miss Madelaine Goddard Goes to Hos
pitai at Camp Meade.

Miss Madeline Goddard of this city,
daughter OF Col. II. II. l. Goddard, left
New York yesterday for Camp Meade,
Middletown, Pa, where she will enter
the hospital service OF the Red Cross
Society as plain nurse. Miss God
dard is well qualified for the work, for
at the outbreak of the war she entered
the Rhode Island Hospital and took
regular course OF instruction as an
emergency nurse. At it's conclusion
she offered her services TO the Red
Cross people, but at that time there
was no opportunity for active work, and
Miss Goddard remained at the hospital
perfecting herself in the duties of a
nurse
Recently Miss Goddard was notified
that a place had been found for her
and she promptly accepted and made
preparations to leave Providence.
There is no doubt that she will be able
to do much at Camp Meade to help
and relieve the sick soldiers not only
from her native state but whoever
they may be.
