a WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1925 7 CLAMP LID ON OYSTER EATING Declare Typhoid Traced to Infected Oysters The typhoid situation in the state of Illinois is considered so serious by the state health department that the eating of raw oysters has been pro- hibited by law. Since Thursday, January 15, it has been illegal to sell oysters unless the purchaser signs an affidavit that they will not be eaten raw. These affidavits are to be kept on file by the final seller of oysters and will be subject to inspection by local health authorities. Dr. Isaac D, Rawlings, director of the state department of public health, gave numerous reasons for this drastic step. He said that the typhoid epi- demic had been traced directly to the eating of raw oysters and that inves- tigations showed that the precautions taken by oyster dealers were not such as would serve as a guarantee of the safety from typhoid of the product. Find Oyster Bootlegging Also--page Mr. Volstead--they are bootlegging oysters, and the oyster men do not appear to have their business under sufficient control to protect the careful producer and and dealer against the careless the bootlegger. here are no federal or state laws for the control of the oyster business and there are no satisfactory stand- ards for oysters now in force and no way in which temporary improve- ments can be guaranteed to be per- manent, "Therefore," said Dr. Rawlings, in his official report," it is necessary In my opinion, to have the practice of eating raw oysters discontinued by law in this state until such time as proper measures for the protection of public health, less drastic in char- acter, can be adopted and enforced : Advice Unheeded "Upon investigations made January 9, it was found that the advice that I gave the people of the state was not heeded. Sixty per cent of the railroads investigated were found to be serving raw oysters: in their din- Ing cars. Seventy-three per cent of the hotels and restaurants investigated were found to be serving raw oysters. Plainly, it is necessary for the pro- tection of the health of the people to take more compelling action ; there- fore in order to protect the health and lives of the people of the state of Illinofs~against typhoid fever or other intestinal disorders due to the danger from eating polluted oysters, I. Isaac D. Rawlings, Director of the Depart- ment of Public Health of Illinois, do order that until further notice ; Must File Affidavits 1. That on and after January 15. 1925, no raw oysters shall be admitted into Illinois except there be filed in the oyster dealer's office a legal agree- ment that said oysters will either be shipped out of the state or that they and will not be eaten RAW. Provided, that when the dealer is not to be the ultimate dealer supplying the consumer he shall file an agreement made by the person to whom he sells that the dealer will only sell to per- sons who agree to exact a similar agreement; provided further, that when the dealer sells to the ultimate consumer he agrees to exact a written promise from the buyer that said oysters will not be eaten raw. These agreements shall be kept on file and subject to inspection by health au- thorities. Lid On at Hotels 2. After said date, no raw oysters shall be served or sold by any hotel, restaurant, eating house or railroad in Illinois. 3. Each local health officer of the state is ordered to inspect the prem- C Melody Saxophone The most favored in- strument of youth today!

The above rules and regulations promulgated this ninth day of Janu- ary, 1925, shall be in force and effect on and after January 15, 1925. By order of the Department of Public Health; Isaac D. Rawlings, M. D. Director. No Cases Reported Here Winnetka is fortunate in having not even a single case or the disease at present, but Dr. C. O. Schneider, health commissioner, warns residents that only unceasing vigilance will keep in- fection from creeping in. Another thing to be remembered in connection with the eating of raw oysters is that oyster stew is nearly as danger- ous as the raw products. This is be- cause the bivalves are not boiled for any length of time, if at all, because that makes them tough and leathery. It would be a wise thing, if oysters must be eaten, to have them either scalloped or fried, cooked or in some other manner that insures that they will be exposed to a high temperature for a considerable length of time. LECTURE SERIES PROVE POPULAR First Richards' Talk Brings Large Crowd Last Sunday evening at the Win- netka Congregational church the Rev. ames Austin Richards delivered the first of a series of six lectures on "The Religious Value of the Book of Gen- esis." While the audience, which filled the auditorium, was assembling. Raymond Allyn Smith, musical direc- tor, gave a short organ recital. Mr. Richards' theme for the eve- ning was "The Place of Genesis in Literature and Historv." In develon- 'ng his subject he showed that the Book of Genesis, although the first book in the Bible, -was-by no means the oldest; that the word Bible means library; and that the arrangement of the books of this library was brought about in accordance with the subject treated, and as the subject treated in the Book of Genesis covered the ear- liest period, it was chosen for the first book and was named Genesis, which means the beginning. Mr. Richards further stated that Genesis is a compilation of several authors; that this is determined by the American Beauty' ELECTRIC IRON the best iron made If you want an electric iron that will render the most satisfactory service for years and years, this is the iron for you.

The book, so formed, sets forth the religious ideals and ideas of the Hebrews as to God at the time when it was written, which covered the, period from about 800 to 400 B. C. The speaker illustrated the dignity of the conception of God by reading and commenting on the first chapter of Genesis, showing that although it set forth the ancient Hebrew ideas as to astronomy, still it placed the crea- tion in the hands of the Deity and set forth the ideals of life in that it por- trayed God as giving into man's hands the subjugation of the world and its forces, and so giving a purpose to life. Sunday, January 18, the second lec- ture will be given on the subject, "The Place of Genesis in Religion and Evolution." This is the topic which of late has been widely discussed in the papers of the country and which has been debated by different schools of religious thought. It is expected to be of interest to every one in the community. Telephone 1098 ALEC W. KYLE Contractor PLUMBING--HEATING 674 Vernon Avenue GLENCOE, ILLINOIS 'WE SELL GOOD AUTO SUPPLIES oo .
