WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1918 SIX PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS EMERGENCY HOSPITAL IS SPLENDID SUCCESS Women of the Village, Who Provided Hospital at Indian Hill Club for Influenza Sufferers, Deserve Praise FUNDS WILL BE NEEDED Village Still Held Under Ban; Schools and Churches May Be Opened Next Wednesday BUY A BOND Residents who have not had oc- casion to visit the Emergency hospi- tal recently opened at Indian Hill Golf club, cannot realize the wonder- ful work which has been going on there in the past week. A little over a week ago the influenza situation seemed almost beyond control of the few physicians and nurses left in this vicinity. The hospitals everywhere were filled, and yet more and more desperately sick patients had to re- ceive hospital care. In some instanc- es physicians were not available to attend to stricken persons and steps had to be taken to provide proper care. The best thing to be done under the circumstances seemed to open an emergency hospital, and therefore within a few hours after this need became apparent a group of public spirited women of Winnetka, assisted by a few from Hubbard Woods and Glencoe, had converted the Golf club into a very complete and efficient hospital. At noon on October 3, it was decided where the hospital was to be located and Mrs. 'Carrie Prouty appointed a committee from the Woman's club. headed by Mrs. J. R. Montgomery so that by 6 o'clock of that first evening, six beds, had been installed, all necessary equipment and supplies were on hand and all was in readiness for the first four patients | who were taken in at that time. Mrs. Helen S. Aldrige, a very cap- able graduate nurse s given com- day time, and Miss Marie Taylor, another graduate nurse, took over the night work. Thesd nurses with the able and willing assistance of the volunteer nurses and hearty co-operation of the women of the Village, complished a wonderiul work and undoubtedly a number of lives have been saved. Makes Efficient Hospital kitchen facilities are of the The very pest, as the clup has very gen- | erously turned over the use of every- thing for the prepartation of various meals and diets, The attendants of the club remained on hand, and with their co-operation, the success and smooth operation of this department is due. The women who have so earnestly assisted in this newly organized establishment, and to whom a great deal of the credit must be given are Mrs. John R. Montgomery, Miss Jean Hopkins, Miss Augusta Fenger, Miss L. Thorne, Mrs. Russell M. 'Heller, Miss R. N. Tabor, Miss Peter- sop, Miss Margaret Casey. Mrs. Thomas Taylor, Jr., Mrs. William H. Cox, Mrs. W. E. Buehler, Miss Mar- garet Coy, Miss M, Roach, and Miss Ellen Montgomery. The offer of Dr. Minke, surgeon- chief at Great Lakes naval training station, in providing the services of Robert V. Shesser, hospital apprent- ice, second class. has been accepted by the local health authorities. The navy man has been on duty at the hospital since Wednesday. To meet the expenses of the hospi- tal which will be - about $700 per week, the Village council has decided to ask as many of the citizens of Winnetka as are able to guarantee from $1 to $5 per week, as long as the hospital is necessary. : The president of the Village is sending a letted toeach resident of the Village, explaining the situation and asking for such a pledge. The Council is confident that the financial support will be as prompt and gener- ous as was the support of the women in giving their services and supplying the equipment that was needed.

The letter, recentlyreceived in Win- netka, reads as follows: Chermont, France, August 28, 1918. My dear...... We came here yesterday even- ing on our way to the Dordogne to visit a Chateau and to see if it is possible to house our 100 children there. Tt is also to be a little outing for us as the life at our Chateau Lafayette has been very strenuous and as all feel the need of some relaxation. Tulle, August 29. We did not reach our journey's end yesterday but had to stop here over night, and I am writing this while waiting for my breakfast. Yester- day we had a wonderful day. Our drive took us over a very high moun- tain, and down through a beautiful valley, the scenery . continually changing in character until we reach- ed the Bourboule. This is a health resort to which many people come in the summer.

It was a most beautiful day The French women | | whose chateau we are going to see has with her an English woman from when we left Tulle and our jomney took us through such wonderful scenery, continually changing in character, The Chateau Perrigeaux, our ob- jective point, in good repair, situated in a part of the country where the climate is more temperate thans ours at Chavaniac, and would be ideal for our frail boys. The owner's request, before he gave up his life at Verdun, that his sister would see. that it was used for the education of our orphan boys, and that they be reared in the Catholic faith. The sister is afixious to have the Committee Lafayette assist her in organizing and financ- ing it if she gives the chateau and the surrounding land. Meets Wilmette Man From the chateau we went to Per- rigeaux where there is a big Amer- ican camp and hospital to care for 5,000 men. We needed a new tire and thought we might be able to buy one there. On arriving we asked the officer. He came and said he would ask the manager of the transport de- partment, who was--guess--Jim Bar- ber, of Wilmette! Well such a greet- ing I received, It quite startled our party until I explained it was one of my boys. Tires were scarce but he arranged for us to have one, and also to get gasoline. I had. a nice visit with Jim, heard all about the home folks and the new baby, saw a lock of her hair, also ate a doughnut from the mess table, which was very good, and we started on our way, supposed- ly to spend the night on the farm of Madame Le Verriers and Miss Perry but first to pay our respects to the Count at Chateau Merzac, who had been expecting us and who welcomed us gladly. He is quite alone but en- tertained us all right royally in spite of the food restrictions for which his hospitality made ample amends. Visits Ancient Chateau This chateau was built in the eleventh century and is in very good repair, ered with paintings deme by old Italian masters. In reaching this | place we passed along the road of the prehistoric caves, and the chateau itself is situated above a famous cave in which was found the skeleton of a prehistoric man. The Count told us many interesting legends and stories pertaining to his old chateau. One day was all too short in which to visit this country but we could loiter no longer as we had to return home to prepare for the fete on Lafayette's birthday, September 6. Our Count came with us to join in the celebration. He is a charming man and a good sport and we all enjoyed him very much. We are very busy today getting ready for the fete about which I will write you in my next letter. With kind regards to you all, Alice Barlow-Browa.

The government wishes to have Liberty bonds in the hands of as many people as possible. Every bond carries with it a lesson in pa- tiotism and patriotism is indispens- able to the winning of the war. No doubt many Winnetkans have not thought of this very important work being accomplished by the broad dissemination of Liberty bond loan workers feel it is only necessary to call attention to this fact so that our Village may not only lead all other similar communities in the amount of the per capita subscrip- tions to Liberty bonds but also keep pace with our neighbors as to the number of personal subscriptions.
