SIOUX INDIAN NURSES
four Redskia sistsrs Who Have Done
Coed Work In q s0athern
Hospital.


At the Third division hospital are a
number Of patients, who, when they get
restored 10 health, can have the dis
tinction Of saying that they have been
nursed back 10 health and strength by
the work Of four sisters, who are direct
descendants Of some Of the Sioux tribes
OF Indians Of the Dakotas. These four
women, had they remained with the
tribes Of their ancestors, would now be
unciNfliEed. instead Of being the factors
for good and the help to others that
they have become for anumber Of years
past. These women are distinctlyely
Americans. and represent the entire
order. the Congregation OF American
Sisters, as It to-day exists in the United
States. Only Indian girls are sdmlssi-
BILE to the ranks, and they must be
American citizens before they can join.
The order has been In existence for the
last ten years, and the reason that the
ranks are not larger in numbers is that
the order depends entirely for its ex-
istence on what the Indians do for II.
These Indian nurses may be aptly
compared with the regular trained
nurses as the regulars in the army are
compared with the volunteers. They
are regular missionaries, used 10 all
sorts of pdvations and hardships. and
coming from a race, and being descend
ants Of warrior chiefs Of renown, they
are well able TO meet and stand condi-
lions that would be too much for the
average nurse to undergo. The order
volunteered to come TO the front when
the war broke out, with the end In view
OF following up the line of battle, and
oftakingcare Of the fallen and wounded
on the battlefield, but II was only re.
Gently that their protfered services were
accepted, and o they have responded
and come from the far-away north, and
have begun active work in the sunny
southland. and will continue their work
even into Cuba.-Jacksonville (Fla.l

Cider Vinegar.


Apples are ripe. and cider, fresh from
the mill, Is coming TO town-in small
quantities.
Ciderof the new and improved" kind,
which may be made in large quantities
regardless Of the size Of the apple crop,
comes TO the market at all seasons Of
the year, and most OF It has never been
subjected to the various processes
which come under the head OF cider
making. 1t comes to the dealer in kegs,
barrels and bottles, and as "stIll" and
sparkling cider.
The real article finds ready sale and
commands q fair price, especially this
year, because Of the short apple crop
There are several cider mills within q
few miles OF Newark, where the bey-
trage Is still made in the primitive way
where horses are employed to work the
grinders. and everything about the mill
smacks Of the days of long ago.
TO those people who have seen cider
made In mills where steam and gas en-.
gines are used, these old mills are hieh.

farmer. pointing to a bin where several
hundred bushels had been dumped by
the neighbors who had brought them to
