Virginia Lyons, who has been a patient at the
hospital for two weeks, has returned to her home
at Bena, MINI.
James Fasfeather of Bena, Mimi, is a new
patient since Monday.
Miss Susie st. Martin, our assistant nurse,
in St. Paul taking the Minnesota State Board g.
animation for nurses.
Our annual supply of the staple foods has come
almost all in one shipment and larder is we'll
supplied.
One month ago we contributed Dr. Elliott to
countrys cause. A few months prior, DR.. Fa-
and DR.. Neal taken And justly
proud Of them all. Now comes Miss Mabel Bright,
nurse here when the hospital first opened and
for the last two years Field Nurse with DR.. Culp.
Miss Bright is leaving the 31st for Jefferson Bar
racks, Mo-, where she will nurse in army hos
ptal. One who has been highly satisfactory
as she, in every detail, cannot fail in her new
work, and the best wishes of thousands of Indians
and employees whom she has served go with her.
1t is understood that her successor has been ap-
pointed but at the time of going to press we have
not learned the
DR.. E. C. Linton, who was stationed at Cross

Toledo, but that happens to be one of the very
few to which Indians be admitted without ex-
