DR.. Knapp has returned to his home

fined in their rooms at the Belen hotel
with a special nurse to minister to
their needs These ladies are two of
the efficient nurses who were sent
here from Denver some time ago from
the Red Cross headquarters and have
won many friends here by their faith
full and untiring services at the Red
Cross hospital in Belen. Miss Peters
acted in the capacity of head nurse

themselves general yvery useful.
Now that the influenza epidemic in
Belen is subsiding and we look back
over the whole situation with it's suf-
fering bereavement, sorrow and the
labor attached; out of 1t all looms the
thought that we are brothers all, and
the many acts of love, patience, and
willing sacrifice will be a pleasing
memory. Too much credit cannot be
given the Red Cross and its officers
as an organization of infinite good and
charity for all The nurses, assisted
by the town people. worked so cheer
fully and faithfully The doctors
showed In many cases more than hui
man endurance working day and most
of the night at break speed. 1t
would be impossible to mention the
good work of individuals in relieving
the suffering and nursing. the sick.
The Junior Boys did a wonderful
work as GRAND and messenger boys
and even chopped wood and carried
water, Then there were those who
gave freely of their time and the use
of their cars in transporting the doc
tors and nurses, and going on numer-
Gus errands of mercy. The local tele-
phone gave excellent service under
most trying circumstances, The acts
of love have proven without doubt thai
in our community surely "God is or
His throne and all's well with His
world"
