Never in her life bus Miss

into "I'lecpalra." Not content
with a mere casual and Bliper*

The selfish ambition i an un
priucipiiled ruler has made it
self felt from one end of the
world to t lie other, has produc. d
results far beyond ami intention
or expectation. F.ir instance,
I Dr. Robertson, to* head of the
Chicago health department, es?
timates that ui the 400 UUO
deaths from inlltien/.a and pneu?
monia in this country, one hall'
could have been prevented if
the suiters had had skilled nur?
ing. This i. was impossible in
supply, fin the ai my had I ? ?
ipiircd 20,U00 trained nurses tb
meet its needs. This left at
home barely enough ex peri
eencod nurses for ordinary
times, and when (he epidemic
arrived the Scarcity ol" nurses
was immediately felt. The poo

truly victims of ihe Prussian
military system as if they hud
died on the li, Id of battle.
