During the epidemic of influenza in 1918 the question of establishing a hospital in Winnetka was taken under consideratin, but after thorough investigation, it was decided that, in view of the great expense of equipment and mainten- ance, the plan was impracticable, and it was abandoned. that Winnetka is de- pendent upon the hospitals already in operation in Evanston empha- sizes ithe; responsibility towards | these institutions. It is therefore earnestly hoped that a contribution of $1,000 may be sent by the people of Winnetka to the Evanston hos- nital at this time, to be used in furnishing some of the rooms in its new building. Contributions of two dollars or more will be gratefully received and may be sent to Mrs. Stephen Foster, 517 Cherry street. Everyone Concerned "The above letter," writes Mrs. Ww, A, Otis, "especially deserves at- ention owing to the fact that every one is liable to need the care which he Evanston hospital can bestow on its good neighbors, in the fact many of us from Winnetka have experienced that we have been wel- comed at the institution quite as cordially as the residents of Evans- ton itself, which town has built and helped support the establishment. "In the case of contagious disease when not only the safety of the pa- tient but those surrounding him is concerned, where could we fly for help and shelter if not to the Evans- ton hospital? : "When our babies come into the world where, near at hand, can they have the wholesome welcome and care that they do at the Evanston hospital?

"And without the Evanston hos- pital the Winnetka Relief and Aid would, hardly know how to 'exist and solve some of the hardest prob- lems which come to it. The patients of the association are not taken free of charge, but are given special rates when registered through the organization. Matter of Necessity "In raising the money to furnish these rooms we are not entitled to any special claim upon them but in making more rooms available we are not as liable, upon application, to run up against the reply 'we have no room for a single patient more.' [ "So not for altruistic reasons, not { o help Evanston, but our own | elves in time of trouble and sicg- ness, let us for purely selfish, if for no other reasons, subscribe either in large or small sums to this fund which Winnetka is trying to raise for this hospital, ever our 'very pre- sent help in trouble." | Congregational Churches.
