WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1924 29, HEALTH CHIEFS TALK OYSTERS Decide in Conference at Ev- anston That Typhoid Is Due to Infected Oysters WARN HOUSEHOLDERS Raw Bivalves Placed on the Ban List "Be more careful than ever if you want to check what might be a serious typhoid epidemic," was the warning is- sued to the public by Dr. C. O. Schneid- er, health officer, this week. A conference of local health officials at Evanston this week brought the fol- lowing facts to light. Along the north shore there are thirteen cases of the disease, one in Glencoe, one in Win- netka, one in Kenilworth, three in Wil- mette and seven in Evanston. The epi- demic has been definitely traced to oys- ters. 'There is no possible excuse for laying it to bad water or any other source because of the way in which the cases are scattered. Likewise, many of them throughout the country have been traced directly to the eating of oysters. Look Out for Stews Dr. Schneider wishes to remind resi- dents that the only safe way to eat oysters at this time is to have them cooked thoroughly. Many cooks, in pre- paring oyster stew, drop the raw bi- valves into the heated milk and serve them immediately. This does not kill any germs that may be present; they must be boiled with the milk for sev- eral minutes until all chance of infec- tion is removed beyond a doubt. And when eating at a hotel or restaurant, don't forget that an oyster cocktail is composed of the raw product. It doesn't take a dozen on the half-shell to put vou in bed for a few weeks--that little bit in the cocktail will do the work quite as thoroughly. Dr. Schneider said that the reason for the infection in the oysters was the method of handling them at the places in the east where they are washed and pre- pared for shipment. There are no proper facilities for the workers who handle them to keep their hands clean. Also there are numerous cases of the disease in some of the eastern towns and the sewage from these cities goes into the ocean where it may infect the oysters before they are caught. Difficult to Detect Dr. C. T. Roome, Evanston's health commissioner says: "We realize that absolute proof of the cause of epidemics, especially that of typhoid, is practically impossible, and that thoughtless or hasty statements may be the cause of serious injury to a business or industry. On the other hand, however, we feel that we have a serious responsibility to the people--that they look to us for the best advice possible in matters af- fecting their health; that they should be fully informed as to what diseases or conditions threaten their health, and, if discoverable, their probable source, so that they may take appropriate meas- ures on their part to prevent acquiring them. Typhoid fever is a terrible dis- ease, and, as indicated by the high mortality rate, the present type of in- fection is a very virulent one." Read All the Want-Ads STADIUM PLANS OF N. U.

They were old that if the university regains nos- css'on of Ashl nd avenue, it would pave he relocated street, putting in sewers, water mains, "etc., etc, without expense '0 the property owners. This would rean an expenditure of from $7,500 to 58.000, and will make a large saving to those property owners whose lots run east to the alley which is west of Ash- land avenue. Owners Object "But these property owners do not wish to have this street moved, because they 'ear there will be trmendous automobile travel and congestion there at times 'when we have big crowds on the field. "I believe such a stadium can be erected and operated with the minimum of annoyance to the residents on Eastwood avenue--certainly with no greater annoy- ance than they suffer from the present nadequate facilities for motor car traf- fic--and I wish to assure you that these residents will receive every consideration from the university. "Whether the Evanston city council will relocate Ashland avenue or not I cannot say, but in any event, we intend '0 have a stadium. We must have it. We cannot get along without it, and we propose to have it in the fall of 1925 if possible, and certainly not later than 1926. Already Located "Traffic experts in Chicago tell me that our Athletic Field with its means of local transportation, and of transpor- tation from Chicago on the south and from the north shore towns on the no:th, is the best located Athletic Field in Cook county. If the University of Illinois at Urbana can draw crowds of 67,000 peo- ple we certainly ought to be able to get that kind of a crowd on our field three or four times a year.

NEW TELEPHONE CABLE LINKS MICLIGAN CITIES Installation of a toll cable between Detroit and Flint has recently been completed, the total cost of the project being approximate.y $1,000,000. This cable will carry as many as 300 simultaneous conversations. The pro- ject has been under way since 1917, but due to the general curtailment of construction work during the war an interval of four years elapsed after the completion of the first section. The cutting into service of this cable marks the completion of the second step in the gradual conversion of the toll open wire lines and the We are always glad to furnish estimates on repainting your CAR WINNETKA AUTO PAINTING CO.

No only will the new cable provide greater facilities, but it will also assure better service on ac- count of greater safety from storm damage, tree interference and induc- tive disturbances. TWO CLASSES ; "The tendency of the time is to divide our people into two classes. viz.: those who build and those who bark. It is hard to build and easy to bark."--Henry L. Doherty.
