Is Helping Care For The Sick Sol

Camp Beauregard, Alexandria,

Dear Papa:
was glad to get your letter. l
guess you've seen in the newspapers
how all the camps have been quar-
antined on account of Spaish influ-
enza. We are sure getting our
share. We have 1000 patients
now. It's perfectly wonderful how
they are all taken care of. In half a
day they can erect a complete field
hospital. / have to look after the
feeding of 1900 men and have two
kitchens to look after. I'm working
quite hard right now, but I'm sure
glad I'm able to work.
We have had very few deaths and
the men are not sick long. Many are
mostly scared. No doubt, you'll hear
about how little attention they get
and how they are neglected, but I'm
in position to know that every
man is taken care of. OF course
some of them have to sleep on cots
and have no pillows, but that can't
be helped.
DR.. Jolly was with a company
preparing to leave but now they've
all been put to work on these cases
We have fine weather, if it keeps
up, this epidemic will be over in
another week.

We've been getting 25 nurses ev

to take care of everyone. taxi
medicine as preventive, and every
body wears a mask over mouth ant
nose. The people here at the hospi
tai are not taking it. It's the mel
at Camp Beauregard who have beer
living in tents.
That's about all the news. We'r'

shown by the teacher. Mr.. Emberson
explained himself as highly pleased
with the success of the meeting.
Much that is worth while has been
accomplished in the county in the past
three years. The purpose of the club
work is to train the boys and girls in
the work that they are interested in
and are doing at home. It is a training
of the head, the. heart, the hand and
the health.
I feel assured that the best work
will be accomplished this year.
