ospital
In the fall of 1903 the Woman's Home ::\1issionary Society of the Colorado Conference secured the property known as Bellevue Sanatorium in Colorado Springs and opened, a little later, the Colorado Conference Deaconess Ho pita),
with twenty (20) beds. The splendid sen-ice rendered soon won the enthusiastic
praise of the physicians and people of the community. Patronage steadily increased until it became necessary to rent a building for the nurses and put up tents to accommodate the patients.
As the work continued to grow the demand for a hospital with adequate
facilities became imperatiYe. The Colorado Springs Company, through General Palmer, gaYe a block of ground on East Boulder street. A building committee
was organized and funds raised for a new building \Yhich was opened July 1st,
1911, and the name changed to Beth-El Hospital.
In January, 190-+, the Local Board of 1\Ianagement was organized. Through
the years this Board, composed of women from various religious denominations,
co-operated loyally with the \Voman's Home ::\fissionary Society, rendering valuable service in many ways, looking especially after repairs and furnishings.
On December 16th, 1922, the o,rnership of Beth-El Hospital property was transferred to the Board of Hospitals and Homes of the Methodist Episcopal Church to constitute the central unit of the proposed million dollar Hospital for
Tuberculosis Patients to be erected on the ground adjoining, donated by Colorado
Springs. The institution will continue to be operated as a general hospital and the name Beth-El retained. The names of memorial rooms will also be retained. The \Voman's Home ::\Iissionary Society will have representation on the Board of Directors and a room in Beth-El and one in the new Hospital for Tuberculosis
Patients.
The transfer of this property, valued at a quarter of a million dollars, records
the largest gift ever made by a \Voman's Society to a board of the Church.
And so our Hospital has grown until now in 1923 we have a hospital with a
bed capacity of one hund1·ed. In our Maternity Department last year there were
two hundred and sixteen births. In the Surgical Department there were nine hundred and sixteen operations. A large number of patients were treated in the
Medical Department. \Ve haYe a TuLercular PaYilion entirely separate from the
hospital, where we can care for a very limited number of tuberculosis patients,
until our new Tuberculosis Sanitorium can be erected. In the Shriner's \\lard
we have had the privilege of caring for a number of children the past year.
Our X-Ray Department has been equipped ,,·ithin the last six months and
it is second to none.
\\' e hope that as the need grows, so shall our buildings increase in size, and the number of student body recruited in order that no one shall be turned from our door.

1\ffiliation between the Children's Hospital in Denver, Colo., and Beth-El
Hospital \\·as established in 1921. .\!though a large number of the patients in
Beth-El are children and babies, the nurses need the broadening influence of the
Children's Hospital training. The Beth-El nurses stay three months in Denver and the Children's Hospital nurses spend nine months at Beth-El to receive adult
trnining.
Beth-El nurses are hoping to receiYe training in contagious work in the
Colorado Springs Observation Hospital in the near future.

A BOY'S VIEW
From the little white "·heel tables
Rolling do,rn along the hall,
To the sound of clanking dishes,
Forks, spoons, the trays and all;
There's not a sound of solid comfort
Anywhere that I can find.
In the place they always take you
For your ills to countermand.
First the doctors have to feel you,
Push your stomach with their thumbs.
Make you take a lot of bitter things,
And then gaze upon your tongue.
Then the nurses fill your mouth all up
With little bright, glass tubes
And hold your hand a while real still
Just as if they knew'd.
They washed me nearly every day, They'd dig right in and scrub
And clean my ears and everything
With good hot soapy suds.
And rub me hard with different things Till I know that I was raw.
The hardest kind of treatment, The worst I ever saw.
These hospitals do just take the cake,
They make an awful spread;
When really all they do to you
Is scrub you up and then to bed.
T"·inkle, twinkle, little light
How I wonder \\·hat you want
Up above the door so high
Like a ruby in the sky.
vVhen the glorious sun is set
And the grass with clew is wet,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

"THE NURSE
\\/ho met me first when I was hurt;
Came for"·ard with a step alert, And gaye me a di,·ided shirt
-The ~urse.
\,\Tho puts a thermometer under my lip
And tells me not to let it slip,
Then to another bed doth
skip-The Xurse.
And should my heart too quickly beat,
Though respirations meet defeat,
\,\/ho writes it on a paper sheet
-The ~nrse.
\,\Tho neYer makes a motion false,
But to my bed will lightly waltz
And give to me a monstrous dose of
salts
-The Nurse.
THE HOSPITAL VISITOR
I've all the equipment I had at my birth;
Abnormally normal I dwell upon earth.
Ko part or attachment, tho small it
might be,
Has eyer been surgically~ wrested from
me.
So here in my corner I'm humble and
dumb,
While ali my companions with whom I
ha,·c come
Cheer up the poor invalid, all so faint
-hearted.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
Our head nurse has made a stern decree "By nine o'clock tomorrow morn, These charts must absolutely finished be,
For many now with time arc worn."
There I stood-pen and ink and record sheet;
Breathlessly I waited, till he should turn
:.\[y knees grew weak, my heart sank low, :.\[y respiration almost ceased.
On me- o fearful of
defeat-A countenance austere and stern.
A task more difficult I scarce could know
My hold on life I almost leased. He really smiled. I must confess, A footstep professional and alert
Reminded me of my goal,
As he consoled me in this measure, Tomorrow morn, when business does
not press
I squared myself. I steeled my will,
Determination filled my soul.
1'11 do them all, \\·ith pleasure. Quickly I grasped an unfinished chart,
·'Oh, Doctor, there is still
But at the meeting of the Records Com-mittee,
The Progress Record yet to start; And the personal History sheet to fill."

But this isn't the best half,
She greets you with a cheering smile
That ever to us is worth while. She is so big and fat and round,

It was a rule for each policeman to
write down everything that happened on his beat. One came into the office and asked ho\\· to spell "Chautauqua," as he had found on the grounds a dead horse.
No one knc,,·. He went out and after a long time returned. \\"hen questioned where he had been he said, "I\·e been over dragging the horse on the baseball grounds."

Tt was the dear old lady's first ride in a taxi and she \\"atched ,,·ith growing
