Mrs. NJ H. Willard Of New York, which
proved of the greatest benefit for the sick
and eonvalescent soldiers. l take the lib
erty of quoting from a letter recently re-
celved from Mrs. Willard dealing with this
subject;
Success of Diet Kitchens.
For six weeks I was at Montauk, rep
resenting the Red Cross Society, which,
together with the Massachusetts Volun-
teer Aid Association, established diet
kitchens in connection with the general
and division hospitals On my arrival at
Camp Wkoff l found the kitchen depart
ment in very serious condition The Of
Ulcers, doctors, nurses, orderlies and en-
ployes, as well as the patients, were pro-
curing their food from a small building
presided over by an army cook, and every
thing In and around the mess han, was in
a dirty condition. Rice and oatmeal were
the principal diet for the sick, and this
was so often burned and badly cooked
that the patients were unable to relish
or retain il. The first diet kitchen was
established Aug. p, and those at the three
division hospitals soon followed, and this
with one at the detention hospital made a
system of five Kitchens covering a radius
of three miles, with a force of fifteen
cooks, several dieticians ten volunteers
and twelve detailed men. These kitchens
supplied carefully and scientifically pre-
pared food for the sick and convalescent,
and the physicians and nurses
were able to procure for their
patients, not only liquid diets. but
light and special diets as well. One OF our
prominent physicians remarked that his
patients were better fed at Camp Wikof
than in any hospital in New York city
with which he had been connected. The
government soon realized the value of the
work, and two weeks after the opening
of the kitchens, they were turned over to
the officials and from that, with no cost
to private enterprise the sick soldiers OF
all the hospitals were served, not only
with home made broths of beef, mutton
and chicken, but also with oysters broil-
ed chicken, tenderloin steaks, chops, jel-
lies, custards, etc"
This new enterprise In caring for sick
soldiers deserves to be brought TO the
attention of the general public and should
receive the strongest encouragement in
the event of another war,
other Noble Women.
The different relief societies, national,
state and local, did noble work In aiding
the government In properly caring for the
sick and wounded. The names of Miss

nentfy mentioned in the history OF the
short decisive war so gloomily ended. The
charity that has been practced 20 boun-
tifully and so generally, must satisfy our
victorious army that the patriotism they
carried into the field has been cultivated
at home in words and action to "a degree
and extent unparalleled In the history OF
the world. War in Just cause begets pa
triotism, and nothing can demonstrate this

ence In the field and al home during the
last eventful six months.

WHAT CAN BE DoNE2

"What ought to be done at least is to
compel every patent medicine manufactur-
er to put on the wrapper of his bottle the
quantity of alcohol 1t contains. That
would at least leave people to exercise
their own judgments More than that, no
paper truly interested in temperance re-
form should print the advertisement of any
alcoholic medicine. 1t should besthe duty
OF every temperance organization and
branch in the country TO look into this
question. agitate it, and deal with the
facts just as earnestly and as honestly as
other facts have been dealt with
Approaching the gravity of the issue

The Migration of Birds.
From the Nineteenth Century.


One Of the principal reasons Tor all the
apparent mystery which surrounds the MI
grafton OF birds TO this day Is that they
generally arrive and also take their depar-
ture at night, and even when forced to
travel by day, fly at such hight that they
are invisible 20 the naked eye. In spite o.
tho great attention Eaid to this phenome-
non In all ages, II Is only during tine last
thirty or forty years that real light has
been thrown on the subject by the efforts
OF such men as Seebohm, Harvie- Brown
Gatke, and others. We may rough

The worlds Letter nag.

From the London Tit-Bits
T'wo-thirds Of all the letters which pass
through the postofices of the world ara
written by and sent to people who speak
English. There are substantially 5O00O0.-
600 persons speaking colloqulally one or
another Of the ten or twelve chief modern
languages and of these about 25 per cent.
or 15O0o0,00O persons, speak English.
About 90,OO0000 speak Russian, 1900 COO
German. 100000 French, 100000 span-
ish, 35oo00C0 Italian, and 100000 Portu-
guese and the balance Hungarian. Dutch.
Polish, Flemish, bohemian, Gaelic, Rou-
manian, Swedish, Finnish Danish ana
Norwegian. Thus, while only one-quarter
Of those who employ the facilities OF the
postal departments OF civilized governs
ments speak as their native tongue, eng
fish, two-thirds Of those who correspond
de so In the English language.
This situation arises from the fact that
so large a share of the commercial busi-
ness Of the world is done In English, even
among those who do not speak English
as their native language. There are, for
instance, more than 2G0O0 postoffices i'm
India, the business of which in letters and
papers aggregate more than 10000 900
parcels in a year, and the business OF
these Offices is done chiefly In English,
though of India's total population, which
Is nearly 10000 900, fewer than 10000 per-
sons either speak or understand English.
Though 100000 speak or understand
Russian, the business OF the Russian post
department Is relatively small, the num-
Der Of letters sent throughout the Cars
empire amounting to less than one-tenth
the number mailed in Great Britain alone.
though the population of Great Britain Is
considerably less than one-half Of the
population Of Russia In Europe

NO ALCOHOL, NO WHISKY, NO IN

These medicines are equally free from
opium and other narcotics.
They are in the strictest meaning OF
the words. temperance medicines. or no
other medicine, put up especially for wo-
mans use can II be truthfully affirmed
as of DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
that it contains neither alcohol nor opium
or other narcotic in any form.
While the negative features OF DR.
Pierce's medicines may only interest some
of the readers of this article, the positive
features Of these medicines must be Of
interest to every one. The great value
OF Golden Medical Discovery in the
cure of diseased or deranged conditions CT

organs is testified to by tens Of thousands
who have found health and healing In this
great remedy. The Discovery" increases
the action of the blood making glands

HercuIean Task of Nurses.

The moment a soldier is disabled from
performing his duty he comes under the
care of the medical department, and he
is subject to it's rules and regulations. The
transportation and proper care of the sick
and wounded are also under the manage
ment of the medical department. The i'm
mensity of this labor, all of which de-
wolves upon the surgeon general and his
limited staff of assistants, must become
apparent to the general public when we
consider the enormous number of sick in
an army of 100000 men distributed from
Porto Rico to Manila-nearly one-half of
the circumference of the globe.
The nursing and hospital attendance of
such an army is a most serious problem,
and our experience has brought into strong
relief the necessity of thoroughly trained
nurses, female as well as male. Hundreds
of the recently enlisted men had to be

Women the Best Nurses.

During the four trips I made on the hos
pital ship Relief 70 and from Cuba and
Porto Rico, had ample opportunity TO
compare the work of the male and female
nurses and l have no hesitation in speak
ing in decided terms In favor Of the latter.
Nursing Is woman's special sphere 1t Is
her natural calling. She was born a nurse
She is endowed with all the qualifications
mentally and physically to take care Of
the sick. Her sweet smile and gentle touch
are often or more benefit to the patient
than the medicines she administers. The
dainty dishes she is capable Of preparing
as a rule accomplish more in the success
full treatment of disease than drugs. Her
sense OF duty and devotion to those placed
under her care are seldom equaned by
men. The sick soldier far away from home
relatives and friends realizes keenIy the
superiority Of female over male nurses.
and especially 50, If his Illness is tinged
as is often the case, with homesickness. 1t
is under such circumstances that the pro-
fessional female nure is greeted In camp,
on board ship and In the hospital as an
angel Of mercy, and every look and move
she makes are of the keenest interests TO
the expectant sick. Fer the time being she
takes the place of the devoted wife the
loving mother or the dear sister at the
bedside. She watches the progress of the
disease by day ard by night and her heart
rises and gleddens with the approach Of
symptoms denoting Improvement; deep sor-
row and tender sympathy take possession
of her when, in spite OF all her exertions
