LINCOLN PERSONALITY Other Good Entertainers, Refreshments and Good Cigars as Well. HEALTH HINTS BY DR.E.E.MOORE Timely Suggestions Given for Preserving Health of Community. Tuesday night, February 9, thero was ft gathering which will live long In tho memories of the more than two hundred men who were present. The ocuasloa waa the February foregather- ing of the Men's club of Wilmette, and the place was the Woman'a club build- ing of Wilmette. The feature of tho evening was a recital by Henry Walter Graham, en- titled, "The Philosophy of Lincoln." nut the title waa far too modest, for those present were all aware that the revelation had far more than phil- osophy. It bad embodied In it the laughter and the tears of life, and tho strength of faith, and the reality of religion. For more than an hour the speaker held his hearers in rapt They, even forgot the «f«ft »n« »? tg?-*g*B... forced to work without either the Good health Is the basis of good To clean up the community in which we live- means to clean up disease. The "safety first" policy IS one of the fundamentals of all public health work. The basis of any campaign against sickness must be an accurate knowl- edge of Its prevalence: and |hia de- mands prompt reporting of all con- tagious diseases. By prompt reporting, many an epidemic can be checked in time.. Dangers From Violating Quarantine. To Illustrate the dangers from non- observance of quarantine, the Chicago health department makes public an in- cident* which may be summed up as follows: "A mother in Chicago, whose little daughter was afflicted with scarlet fever, disregarded the quarantine that was placed on her home to attend a party. Sho first went to a store to purchase a waist. Tho following day she returned the waist to tho mer- chant, who sold It to a suburban resi- dent. As a result a child In the home of. the latter was taken down with the disease, and from It some sixty cases spread through the suburb."" These are conditions that should not be possible. But It Is so much easier to cite and criticise bad condi- tions than It Is to correct them. Bo much Is expected of the health Is really speakerâ€"to them It "was not art, but life; not talk* but the genius of the united States incarnate, chatting with them for a few precious moments. The meeting was opened by Presi- dent John W. Illff. The first part of the evening's entertainment was fur* nlshed by Messrs. Oakley, Boyle and Netterson, who* gave some exception- ally well rendered songs and charac- ter sketches. It was not their novelty which made them so enjoyable, but simply the fact that they were so well done, and apparently so easily done. The mirth, sjmply ftâ„¢* *£ bubble bxdroYlXHGtmn, ano 'yooJlM to laughâ€"that waa all there was to It. In beginning hie talk about Lin- coln. Mr. Oraham pointed out In what a strange way-In 4he early years of the great president's life fate had crossed bis rife with the lives e^men who were to play Important parts later on In his career. When Lincoln was mustered In for the Black Hawk war, it was Jeff Davis who had charge of the mustering In. Stephen A. Doug- las and he were much thrown to- gether; they courted the same girl. It was Lincoln who had Gen. George A. Pieketi of-tbo confederate army appointed to West Point, and It was he who gave the confederate gener- als baby $50. The speaker gave other coincidences too numerous to be men- tioned here. But the crowning glory of the ev- ..<lng was Mr. Graham's recital of ivtlly Brown's story of Lincoln as he knew him in Springfield. During this »tory there was many a wholesomn Uugh. and more than one open tear. but never a trace of bitterness. Responding to a tremendous encore, Mr. Graham gave the famous Gettyh- burg speech in the same high shrill vole© which was a beloved character- istic of the great Lincoln. With a flaure and face similar to the man of whom he apoke, his hearers seemed to see not the speaker but Abe Lin- coln himself. After the formal program the meet- iug adjourned to much appreciated re- freshmenta and good cigars, and a feast of chat and chatter. RECORD PRICE FOR ONE WILMETTE LOT WILMETTE. ILLINOIS, FRIDAY.

Unfortunately The Lake Shore News went to press before the dis- cussion and conversation had gotten fairly under way. and so the repre- sentative was unable to get more com- plete details of the gathering. The luncheon was delightfully informal, and the spirit of cordiality and friend- ship added to the enjoyment ot the delightful luncheon for the occasion.

There Is one thing that stands out very plainly, and that l» the public is anxious for better health conditions and safeguards, and the health officer who will put his work on a practical and business-like basis will be sure to find the co-operation of his community much easier to secure than would have been possible four or five years ago. Any council can pass an ordinance, tut very tew seem to Be able to en- force it. We road a great deal about the enforcement of health laws. There can be no question but that if the existing ordinances relative to sanita- tion, would be enforced marvelous ie- suits would, be accomplished. But from observation we would say. that the only way health laws can be of- fectlvely enforced, is by each indi- vidual lending his co-operation to the extent of violating no laws. It seems to be the universal inclination to think that the laws are made for tho "other fellow." All that Is required of any member of the community Is that he pledge the following: "I will, ps far as my circumstances and opportune ties will permit, make an earnest ef- fort to do these things: "(1> To Inform myself upon the subject of personal community and household hygienics and to myself obev the laws of health. "(2) To encourage the practice *f individuals having periodic examina- tions to upbuild physical efficiency and to detect disease in time to check or cure if. "(3) To give support and encour- agement and to urge my friends to do the same, to the public health serv- ice and officials, who are laboring to protect the moat precious asset of the nation. "(4) To encourage schools, churches, sodal and civic bodies, and employ- ers to give as a patriotic duty all con- sistent help In stimulating public In- terest in spreading knowledge of tho rapidly advancing science of health and in life conservation. "(5) To co-operate with and advise, whenever opportunity permits, in the reduction of life waste and to guard and strengthen the vigor and vitality of our race."

The Lake Shore News folt that the work of the Juvenile Protective asso- ciation of the North Shore was of auch Importance that It deserved to be widely known. In order to get the exact Information lis to Ita alms and ends, a„ representative of the paper asked Mrs. Morris I* Greely, the sec- retary of the organisation, to tell the people of the North Shore more about the organisation. This she very kind- ly consented to do. In an Interview, she said: "The homo circle, aa such, is going; the community circle has not yet been satisfactorily completed. Prom the time the children are released from home restraint until the time they come under the restraint of employ- ment, there Is a break, as the break In an electric current. The modern tendency for children Is toward more and more play, end less and less work. This time, when restraint Is broken, tends to the development of instability of character. "The bridge which Is to span this chasm Is delegated authority. This WILMETTE CITIZEN ELECTED PRESIDENT B. F. Affleck Heads Univer- sal Portland Cement Company.

WILMETTE HUNGRY FURNISHED WORK Unemployed To Be Put to Work in Coal Yards To Earn Meals. For many years Glencoe boasted a wonderful spring of pure water push- Ing from a bluff and running In crys- talline beauty down to the lake. The spring waa constant even In the driest seasons. It always ran a generous, spirited stream, clear and cold. Then along came the village manager, a new official in the new order ot thingsâ€" if. H. Sharer, appointed to put the affaire ot the suburb on a business basis. In a curious moment Mr. Sherer shut off the water In the mains. Then he went back to the "spring" and awaited results. In forty minutes the psrpet- thousand gallons to pump the water that ran off Into the lake night and day the year around. The story of the spring waa a part ot Mr. Sherer's address last sight be- fore the Wilmette Civic association. He explained the work of the vlllsge management aa a business enterprise and told of important savings gained. WINNETKA ADJUSTS PUBLIC QUESTION At the meeting or the Board of Lo> cal Charities last Monday night, con- siderable thought was applied to the ways and means ot better Informing the people of Wilmette of the Board's plsns regarding the Second Hand Ex- change and the helping of the un- employed. Second Hand Exchange. The second hand exchange waa ee- tabllshed principally for the purpose of converting old clothing and furni- ture into money to be used for chari- table purposes locally. Such old clothing that cannot be sold Is to be given to deserving people In our midst who are unable to pay even the second hand price. It is urged that everybody having old clothea make a special effort to place "them In the hands of Mrs. Bohannon who la In charge of this exchange, which la lo- cated above Van Deuaen'n grocery store. The Board will gladly call for the clothing If the address is given to Mrs. Bohannon. The donations so far have not kept up with the call for clothing. The plan for helping the unemploy- ed calls for the sending of all appli- cants to Mlnger & Speldel's Coal Yard where, by doing a reasonable amount of work, they will he given a meal ticket to one of the reatauranta, one-third of the cost to be borne by the Board of Local Charities. It has come to the attention ot tho board that while this scheme has been In effect for over a month, nevertheless housewives still continue to feed the tramps and aa a consequence, their home is marked and they are more or leas molested by these undesir- ables. This is operating against the plan of the hoard and may defeat their object. It la-therefore Impor- tant that all housewives give the un- employed the same Instructions, namely, direct them to Bdtnger ft Bpeldel's Coal Yard. This co-opera- tlon will lead to an effective solution and will result in a decressing num- ber ot calls, particularly by the ELIZABETHAN SOCIETY DANCE.

COLLECTOR EXPLAINS HIS DUTIES Hoyt King Tells How To Correct Mistakes in Tax- ation and to Whom To Go About Rates. , QUESTIONS ANSWERED Citizens Gain by Paying Taxes Early as Pos- sible. Of late there have been so many questions asked as to the taxes, and there seem to be so many points upon which there Is uncertainty, and even misunderstanding, that The Lake Shore News asked New Trier Town- ship Collector Hoyt King to explain for the benefit of citizens of Wllmetto some of the things which appcar^not to be clear to many. In aa interview with "a represent. ftttve at The Lake flhnrs M*ws-.. Mr King said: The Assessor's Duties. "The collector fixes neither the assessment nor the rate, of taxation. The assessment Is made In the spring by the assessor. If a citizen does net file a schedule of his personal property the assessor may use such means aa he baa to arrive at a fair value. The taxpayer gets notice of the that the deserving unemployed will receive the proper treatment by our citizens.

Thirteen hundred disputed feet of Bdson avenue, between, on or about the boundary between Wlnnetka and Glencoe, yesterday were set over Into Wlnnetka with due formality. The officials of the two communi- ties gathered In parley, and Wlnnetka traded off a protruding triangle of equal area for Kdson avenue. The trouble has been that persons IIvln* oh the north side of Edson ave- nue were of two minds about where they lived. "On'Sunday when the folks were In their parlors they were In Win netks. snd on week days when they were back of the house they were in Glencoe." one official explained. The cession of Edson avenue will settle a vast array of disputes over taxes, building permits, water rights, snd Uke Issues. ment If he does not he should go to the board of assessors In the county building and find out what it Is. If he objects, he should complain to the board of review. In June or July, also in tho county building. Values of real estate also are fixed by the assessor. The Rates of Taxation Fixed. "The rates ot taxation are fixed by the various corporate bodies within the limits prescribed by law and In a manner prescribed by law, la New Trier township we pay a rate to the state, county, Sanitary District, rtt^ Isge, park, schools, township, high school, and road and bridge.

The dues of the club were spent in serving refreshments at the meetings. At the second and third meeting the number of members waa doubled, and In September the club decided that, aa the members lived all along the north shore, from Rogers Park to Glencoe, It would be best to obtain a clubhouse In which to hold Its meet- tags, so they Secured the house lo- cated at 2145 Maple avenue.
