A special 10 the Philadelphia Press from
Pottstown Pa. says that Mrs. Annie Wit

AS an army nurse Mrs. Wittenmyer
acquired national fame. She went to
the front in April. 1861. and continued her
services till November p. 1856. She was
all along the front lines from Vicksburg to
Petersburg, and was on many of the blood
lest battle fields.
During the war she noticed she Wis
tied hospitals that the system of cooking
was defective, and that hundreds were
dying for lack of properly prepared food,
which led her to introduce a system of
special diet kitchens for the very sick and
the severely wounded. Her plans were ac-
cepted by the sanitary and Christian COM
mission. and the surgeon general and all
the high officials of the government, and
the special diet kitchen plan became a
part of the general hospital system. The
surgeon general was so pleased with the
result that he appointed a medical commits
sion of army surgeons to revise the United
States army cooking. and invited her to
meet with them. She did SO, and they
adopted her plans.
Besides Spending IS 900 of her own money
she gathered and distributed over $500, $50
worth of supplies.
Mrs. Ulysses s. Grant who wrote the
introduction to Mrs. Wittenmyer's book of
war stories, Under the Gums" and who
was much with her in the war, says: II
used 10 look upon. this brave. heroic We
man with profound respect and admira ton
| which, if it were possible. has grown great

since then"
Her activities in behalf of the army nurses
army nurse pension law, and by personal
efforts she not only secured the law, but
helped $50 army nurses to secure their
pensions under it of sl2 per month.
The Pennsylvania Memorial Home was
proposed by her. and she rallied a heroic
band of workers to the support of the
scheme, and for the last nine years On
the average, seventy-one homeless soldiers
with their wives soldiers mothers and wild
ows and children have been supported there
| In comfort She is president OF the board
of management. A little later in 1890, she
founded a National W. r. c. Home She
has been CHAIRMAN of the board from the
beginning.
Since the war she has been In literary

II took a;barrel Of rain water, full
of swiggletails' and wood lice, poured
in a tablespoonful of coal oil, stirred

no living insect was to be found in
the barrel, the water being as clear
as crystal, the oil only showing on
top and the taste sweet and pure.
