VII, NO. 25. : WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1918 EIGHT PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY PARALYSIS SCARE OVER Health Commissioner Permits Com- mencement Of Studies in Public Schools; Postponed One Week NO FEAR OF AN EPIDEMIC Thorough Investigation Fails To De- termine Any Connection between Recent, Fatal Cases With the danger of an Infantile Paralysis epidemic practically over, Dr. C. O. Schneider, health commis- sioner, has sanctioned the formal opening of the Winnetka Public schools next Monday, one week later than the customary time for the he- ginning of studies. The death of ten year old Richard Conable, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Conable of 761 Lincoln avenue, caus- ed by the terrible malady, and other fatalities on the north shore due to the same sickness, led the health authorities to take necessary pre- cautions against the possible spread of the disease and to postpone the regular school opening for the period of a week. The present condition is nothing to be alarmed about, according to Dr. Schneider, and it is safe to send the children to school. Positively no connection has been traced between any of the reported cases of Infantile Paralysis along the north shore.

Many Winnetka voters stood in the rain at Fountain Square in Evanston last Friday evening to hear Medill McCormick tell of his experiences in the trenches in France and outline the political situation which has brought about his candidacy for the United States senate. Many previous backers of the can- didacy of George Edmund Foss for the United States senate, have switched, their support to McCormick and are working diligently for the Loyalist ticket in the determination to prevent the possibility of Thomp- son's nomination, whose success at the Primaries, every loyal voter would regard, as a reflection upon the patriotism of the people of Illin- ois. At the meeting in Evanston last Friday the voters were also per- mitted to hear first hand the issues in the Congressional campaign as presented by Carl R. Chindblom, Loyalist candidate for nomination for the seat in the lower house which is to be vacated by Congressman Foss. Mr. Chindblom's views on the loyalty issue were clear-cut and to the point. "Being. myselfesn, candidate. fer toffice, fre=said, I teel that | may properly direct attention to a mat- ter which must have suggested itself to many thinking people. I refer to the appeal of candidates for votes on account of personal services rendered to the nation's cause in the recent emergency. No patriotic American, no red-blooded citizen can have fail- ed to do his utmost to assist the gov- ernment in the winning of the war. To do that is a patriotic duty. For such services no political preferment should be asked. "No man should receive a moment's consideration for any public posi- tion, who is not unqualifiedly loyal and whole-heartedly devoted to the country. Loyalty is the condition precedent for every candidacy, but should not be made the basis for an appeal for votes." Special interest has been manifest- ed in the candidacies of Perkins B. and Charles Ringer, for the Roard of Review and Board of As- sessors, respectively. These men, both of whom have had long er- perience in the real estate business so far surpass rival candidates, in the matter of qualification for office, as to insure the unqualified support of north shore voters. Latest reports of Loyalist workers contain evidence which promises solid Bass support of the candidacy of Henry | R.

This fall Mr. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Educa- tion, President Wilson, and all school authorities are making a strong appeal to young people to continue their school work.

Registrars have been assigned to the various precincts in the townships, and many assist- ants named to facilitate the process so that exemption board officials are confident the work can be easily ac- complished within the designated time and without great difficulty. The registration is expected to be ap- proximately 130 per cent of the first draft when 2119 men were registered for military service. In addition to the thirty-two men who were inducted into military service this week, whose names ap- peared in last week's issue of the Lake Shore News, the local draft board ordered two men, Grover Cleveland Hoffman and Philipp J. Sesterhenn, both of Wilmette, to en- ter special limited service at Camp Grant. The men will leave on Satur- day and will serve as stenographers and typists. Heavy inductions of the men re- gistered on June 5, 1918, and August 24, 1918, for general military service, are predicted by the War depart- ment for the latter part of Septem- ber and early in October, according to information from the draft of- ficials.

The train was not in motion, it was said. He was taken in an automobile to the offices of Dr. C- A. Aldrich in the Boal Building where he was given first aid treat- ment.

COLONEL A VISITOR Woman Physician Meets Kin of Hub- bard Woods in Village "Over there" Great interest is displayed on the north shore in the work of Americans among the French and Belgian War sufferers. Residents have contribut- ed liberally in money and clothing to this humanitarian cause and have maintained a constant interest in the progress of the work in the ravaged countries. One of the most ardent war wor- kers who is accomplishing wonderful results among the refugees in French Villages is Dr. Alice Barlow-Brown, formerly of Winnetka and well known on the north shore. Letters from the woman physician and settle- ment worker have been published from time to time, proving of ex- treme interest to north shore rea- ders. The following extracts from re- cent letters from the doctor are par- ticularly interesting as they contain an excellent description of the work among the destitute orphaned boys from French cities. The extracts read: : . June 27, 1918. My letter to you still unfinished ; |I have so many interruptions during | the day and of course I cannot waste the petrol to write after twilight.

We wanted to pay for the milk and bread but not a sou would they take. Attends Funeral Services This morning I attended the funer- al of a woman who died of tuber- culosis. The pall bearers were wom- en, they carried the remains from the house to the church and from the church to the cemetery--quite a distance. A striking evidence of what the ravages of war has brought in these remote villages. There were about one hundred peasant women dressed in black with white caps-- and each of them, both young and old, was mourning for some member of her family who had given his life for his country. In the aftermoon M. Mallet, who is the care-taker of the chateau, re- ceived word from the Marquis La- | fayette of the death of his son Gil- bert, a young man of 24 years, who was killed the first of June at the Chemin des Dames.
