i SPANISH INFUENZA WINNETKA WEEK Nearly Everybody In Winnetka Reads The Talk LY T VOL. VII, NO. 27. WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1918 EIGHT PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS STOPS JACKIE DANCE Between 25 and 30 Cases Reported in the Village by Health Commis- sioner Dr. C. C. Schneider A COLD IS THE SYMPTOM Disease Is Very Contagious Form of Grippe; Patient Must Be Isolated The "so-called" Spanish Influenza has reached Winnetka, and a recent | interview with Dr. C. C. Schneider, health commissioner, revealed the fact that there were between 25 and 30 cases in the Village, all of them traceable to the boys at the Great Lakes. As a precaution to prevent the farther spread of this disease, it has been deemed advisable to dis- continue the dancing parties for the sailors at Community House on Sa- turday evenings for the present: and until this epidemic is over. It is also suggested that all people take the precaution not to entertain visitors when they come from homes or training camps where this disease is known to be prevalent. This epidemic is a severe and very contagious form of Grippe, and the disease should be considered serious- ly, as it often results in pneumonia, meningitis and other complications which may cause death.. The first symptoms of the influenza appear from one to four days after exposure, and they are similar to those of an ordinary cold. This is soon follow- ed by chilliness and a general aching throughout the body, severe head- ache, fever, throat symptoms with some coughing and sneezing. Some- times the disease takes the gastro- intestinal form, when nausea and vomiting with severe abdominal pains may be prominent symptoms. The profoundness of the prostration, is one of the most characteristic features of this disease. As this dis- ease can very easily be communicat- ed to others, it is necessary that the patient should be isolated until ful- ly recovered, and the attendant should wear a mask of gauze over the nose and mouth for their own protection. The patient should at once be confined to bed, and any one at large spreading this disease and thus robbing us of our health, should be considered a greater criminal. than one who only robs us of our goods.

SALUTE AND BUY HERE'S HOW YOU CAN BUY LIBERTY BONDS Banks Make It Possible For Any Person To Purchase War Bonds On Easiest Possible Terms SPLENDID INVESTMENT Every Resident of Winnetka Asked To Join Help the American Boys On The Line By H. A. deWindt Fourth Liberty Loan bonds will be dated October 24, 1918 and carry four and one-half percent interest payable semi-annually, April 15 and October 15. The terms of payment will be: Ten per cent at the time you sub- scribe. Twenty per cent, on December 19, 1918. Twenty per cent on January 16, 1919. Twenty per cent on January 30, 1919. If any person cannot pay for the bonds subscribed for by January 30, N TO MEN WHO LIVE IN WINNETKA BUT WORK IN CHICAGO Uncle Sam is personally and vitally interested in the world war now raging. Therefore, you are personally and vitally interested. Now, this isn't from Uncle Sam of the United States. There is not one of his in- spiring Liberty Loan subscrip- tion blanks enclosed. It is from Winnetka. "Winnetka" is the word I want to register with you. Pride in that Village, its splen- did community spirit, war record, and the active work of its men, women and children, for the boys in service, is the thought I am presenting. I want to ask you to put the word "Winnetka" on your desk calendar or in your tickler file under date of September 28. That is the date of the com- ing Liberty Loan drive. .Uncle Sam does not care where your subscription is credited. Win- netka does. Winnetka wants UZ Zara rrr ULL LLL 777 777077, N 1919, they should take the subscrip- tion to any bank where the money will be loaned at a very low rate of interest and the loan will be taken care of without difficulty. Fourth Liberty Loan bonds are the best collaterel to borrow on. so you need have no fear in subscribing for them. They .are better than cash for they pay four and one-half per cent interest while cash deposits in a Savings bank pays only three per cent. It is easier to save with your money invested in Liberty bonds than if you had the cash loose in your pocket, because the temptation to spend that cash is almost too great to resist--whereas you know the bonds are a safe investment and you think twice before you allow yourself to let go of a good invest- ment, especially when by making that 'tment you are helping to take "care. of those boys who are right now fighting magnificently on Germany's border land about 10 miles from the city of Metz--one of the enemies greatest strongholds.

The Boy Scouts are searching Winnetka for the thief and the will get him for Scouts never fail when they are once on the scent. This time, though it isn't the "cent", they are after, but it's the dollar with which to buy Liberty bonds. the benefit of your subscription. See that "Winnetka" is credited with your coming sub- scription--all of it or most of it. See to it as a matter of pride and as an inspiration to other communities. See that Winnetka's sub- scription flag is covered with stars as is her service flag. Sincerely, H.

REGISTER FOR RED CROSS WORK NOW Comprehensive Plans Are Being Formulated and Women Are Asked To Fall Into Line Without Delay REGISTRATION DAYS SET Women Are Requested To Place With War Emergency Union on September 23 and 24 Names With the first invigorating Fall days the country as a whole is busy setting its house in order for the winter. Schools are opening and winter work is beginning. This year, however, more than the usual Fall house cleaning is going on. Plans of more complete and comprehensive kind are being made, and all with one idea in mind--the WINNING OF THE WAR. The men of the country are being organized, and stand ready to help the government when and where their help is needed. It is not enough, however, that the' men alone should be organized. If the war is to be won, and won quick- ly, every man, woman and child mist help. And in making plans for the winter every woman should see to it that a certain portion of her time is left free for war work of some kind. To many women, tied down with household cares, opportunity for such work is limited. One thing is open to all, however, and that is Red Cross work . It is hard to he- lieve that there is a single woman in: this town who could not so plan her life that she could give at least one or two hours a week to the Red Cross. Our boys are now with our allies in the thick of the most des- perate fighting of the war. The lists of the wounded grow and will con- tinue to grow, More and more sol- diers need our help. More and more pitiful women and children need our help. The work of the Red Cross this winter will be heavy. Demands To Be Heavy Just at present the Red Cross officials at Washington are busy tak- ing stock, reorganizing their forces and mapping out the work that will have to be done to meet the demands of the winter. This gives us all a breathing space to make our own schedules, and portion of our own time. When the work does begin-- and this may be any day--is will be- gin with a rush. Winnetka women must be prepared to meet the de- mands that will be made of them. In order to know how much of that work we can undertake for the government we must know how many workers we will have, we must count the woman labor at our disposal with which to fulfill our government contracts. : So the War Emergency Union is asking the women of Winnetka to register for the work that they will do, at the War Emergency Union office, Community House, Monday, September 23, or Tuesday, September 24. Please remember two Registra- tion days for women next week. BONDS, BAYONETS, BERLIN SURRENDER HOME TO DO WAR WORK Mr. and. Mrs. FE .S.
