The Nurses Of Mercy Do
A Divine Work Among
Suffering Humanity.

A grateful public will have an op-
portunity to express their gratitude
to the Visiting Nurses association
in substantial way, for Wednes-
day will be the official tag day for
this organization. All of Omaha S
prominent maids and matrons will
be on the streets laden with white
tags for which one can pay any price
desired. The wonderful work done
by these women of mercy cannot
be reckoned, for they work so quiet
ly, without thought of praise. All
they ask are funds sufficient to pro-
vide necessities for the poor of the
city who are i'll, with no money to
buy the medicines and care so nee
essary.
The baby welfare stations are
probably the most important branch
of their work, for the nurses give
valuable instruction to mothers in
the care of their children. The in
| fants are weighed and diets pre-
scribed for the ailing ones. The
| mothers are shown how to bathe
and dress the babies properly. The
dispensary at Long school and at
the South Side Settlement is con-
Quoted by the association.
Many pitiful cases are found in
the rounds of the visiting nurse.
Miss Josephine fisher has been
confined to her bed practically all
her life, and her lot would indeed
be a sad one if it were not for the
kindly ministrations of the nurse
who visits her.
During the influenza epidemic,
when the city was swept with a
scourge, the nurses worked valiently
with no thought of their own dam
ger. More than 900 cases were
cared for by these IA women, who
were veritable angels of mercy, tor
many families were destitute.
It takes a goodly sum to continue
this most important work, and to
those on whom fortune has smiled
is given the privilege to contribute
to the care of the unfortunate.
