INFLUENZA [Pictures That Tell the Story of Our Inadequate School Facilities v ON THE NORTH SHORE Health Officer Schneider Reports Three Cases of Influenza in Win- netka; Issues Important Health Orders OBSERVE HEALTH RULES! Saye Residents Must tmmediately | Report All Cases or Suspected Cases of Influenza | | | The spread of the Spanish Influ-: enza which took a heavy toll of human lives a year ago is gradually returning to the north shore. ! Three cases of Influenza in Win- | netlha were reported to Health Officer! Schneider this week. There is no desire on the part of Dr. Schneider or the Weekly Talk to frighten the recidents, though it is imperative, save Dr. Schneider, that extreme care he taken by every individual and | family in the Villace. Strict adher- ance to plain health rules will rosyit | in curling the possible spread of the malady. Observe Regulations! Tales laid down by the Village Health department a year ago Wao} well be applied at this time. Ob- | servance of these rules will accomp- | lish more than any other agency in frustrating the spread of the disease. These regulations are ordered in | force by Health Officer Schneider: | All cases of Influenza will hereaf- : ter he quarantined and placarded. All outsiders must be excluded from | the premises. Visiting is strictly prohibited. | Adal occupants who show no evi- | dence of illness need not be confined to the premises, provided they do not come in contact with the patient. No member of the family may at- tend public gatherings of any sort. All children must remain upon the premises. Quarantine shall be terminated only by order of the Health Officer. | he period of isolation shall con- | tinue unti! all clinica! manifestations of the disease have disappeared and the temperature has been normal for | five successive days. When slicht abnormal temperature continues for more than five days after all other symntoms have dis- appeared, the Health Officer may in | his discretion terminate the quaran- tine. It is the duty of the householder or the physician--when one is em- ployed--to IMMEDIATELY report to the Health Officer, every known or suspected case of influenza. Must Report Cases Tt is likewise the duty of every person to report any case Or sus- pected case that is not placarded, as the Illinois State Department of Public Health makes it obligatory upon every person having knowledge of 2 know or suspected case of in- fluenza, to immediately report the sane to the local Health Officer. An persons who fail, neglect or refuse to ohey these regulations, and | all persons who violate them, sub- ject themselves to a fine and im- prisonment. Other Diceases Prevalent The health status of Winnetka may readily be estimated by the ac- .companying: list of diseases now pre- valent. The following is taken from the records of the Health Officer: Cases of Pneumonia 2; German measles 1; Measles 5; Chicken Pox 3: Scarlet fever 1; Influenza 3. (Clencoe officials reported ten cases | of influenza within the last three ~davs. More than 100 cases are re- ported at the Great Lakes naval training station and several in Lake Forest and. other upper north shore towns. i "SOMETHING DIFFERENT" AT LEGICN SESSION HERE | i ing different" is promised | the me of the Winnetka Post | of the American Legion at the meet- | ine of the Post Tuesday evening, January 20, at 8 o'clock, in the Win- | netka Woman's club building. iH.» Burlingame, Special Bur~an of War Risk Insurance, bring to the members valuable and | instructive facts concerning the gov- ernment insurance, how to convert | the insurance and how to become] arcinstated. vs ve | | Agent, | will | © RETURN TO WINNETKA | i % Mr. and Mrs. A.

Winnetka parents will realize the necessity for supporting the program for adequate school facilities to meet Winnetka's rapidly growing popula- tion, as is being outlined by the Board of Education in the columns of the Weekly Talk. These pictures 'and their accompanying captions merit the serious study of every Win- netkan interested in the proper de- velopment of the school children. Look them over and show them to your neighbors. | 4 | | ) A. The former Assembly room at Horace Mann school has been cut up into clissraoms. Pupils from one mum must pass through the other room.

It was an unusual meeting in that the fathers came as well as the mothers and the large number of fathers present evidenced their keen inter- est in the development of the school and the progress of the children.' { The Assembly hall was crowded. Numerous questions were . put to Superintendent 'C. W. Washburne which he 'answered satisfactorily. There was a Community Sing at {the Greeley school Wednesday even- ing. A large gathering of residents enjoyed the songs. : SELLS "HOUSE IN WOOD" ° Mrs. Frank R. Tuller has sold the "House in the Wood", where she 'has lived for eighteen years, to Dr. C. N.

The pitiful conditions now existing {in Serbia are only too well described by Mr. Dunaway, executive secre- tary of the Serbian Relief Committee of America, with offices at 70 Fifth avenue, New York. He says the suf- fering is so great, among the chil- dren especially, that thousands must surely die if the Americans do not help so that it is cause for thankful- ness that Winseika is represented in this work, by so able an envoy as Dr. Brown. We know from past experience that funds entrusted to her will be well spent. AFFELDT'S PRIZE SLED IS NOW AN AWFUL WRECK | {He Rented It Out Sunday To a Crast- ' ing Party and lo. It Tangles with a Ford It's Herman Affeldt who feels most keenly the pain incident to an acci- dent Sunday evening when a Ford car and a bob-sled pot tangled up at Oak street and Walden road, with the result that the bob was consider- ably damaged and the jolly coasters piled in profusion in nearby snow banks. And the funny part of it is that | Affeldt wasn't any where near the scene of the accident at the time vou see, he rented out his bob-sled,-- ,one of those hig affairs that holds tieveral people--to Alfred S. Alt- schuler, 795 Lincoln avenue. Al- schuler in turn, the story goes, had a group of friends out from Chicago to enjoy the coasting on the Munici- nal toboggan. He'd let them coast lown the incline. then hook the sled |. to the back of his car and pull the crowd back up the hill. ' Alschuler waited at the foot of the incline and saw the whole thing. A Ford ignored the barricades placed on Walden road and traversed the toboggan just in time to collide with the sled loaded to capacity on one of its downhill trips. There were many bruised shins, otherwise none of the occupants of the sled were much worse for the thrilling ex- perience. But the sled. --constructed by Af- feldt's own deft hands, and conceded to be quite the finest of its kind any- where in these parts-- well, the sted's simply a wreck. It'll cost quite a few dollars to put the old bob to rights again and Affeldt fears greatly the winter and tobogganing may all be a memory before he can get the out- fit into running shape. Affeld is caretaker of the Carlton Prouty premises in Winnetka. ELM STREET CIRCLE IN MEETING LAST TUESDAY The West Elm Street circle met Tnesday afternoon at the home of { Mrs. E. C: Weissenberg, 817 Elm stryet.
