GIVES HEALTH REPORT Commissioner Schneider Shows Status of Winnetka's Health in Annual Statement to Council . Editor's Note: The aceompanying comprises the annual report of the Vil- lage Health department covering the period April 1, 1925, to March 31, 1926, as submitted to the Village council by Health Commissioner C. O. Schneider. It contains facts that should be of in- terest to every parent in the commu- nity. There were reported, placarded and quarantined in Winnetka during the past twelve months, 462 cases of com- municable disease, as compared with 514 cases for the year 1925 and 543 cases for the year 1924;--a consider- able decrease in the number of cases of contagious disease, despite the in- crease in population. The most prevalent disease - during the year was measles, of which there were 128 cases, 85 of them being in April during the epidemic of a year 1go. Next in number was German The ideal Graduation present WHAT gift more charming than the gift of music?

The New Orthophonic ictrola Vig Convenient Terms Open Evenings North Shore Talking Machine Company 712 Church Street, Evanston 554 Center Street, Winnetka measles of which there were 106 cases. This is a very contagious though not a serious illness and is important to control because of the ease with which it may be confused with mild cases of scarlet fever. There were also 88 cases of chicken- pox, 83 cases of whooping cough, 22 cases of mumps, 23 cases of scarlet fever, 7 cases of pneumonia, only 3 cases of diphtheria, 1 case of tubercu- losis, 1 case of typhoid fever and no cases of infantile paralysis, or small- pox. The number of cases of each disease for every month of the year is clearly shown in the chart on the following page. Our greatest difficulty in remaining entirely free from communicable dis- ease, is its prevalence in the Chicago Metropolitan area and this is the source of most all our contagious ill- ness. Water, Milk Food Good No illness during the year could be traced to the water, the milk or the food supplied to the people of Win- netka. The splendid co-operation on the part of the physicians and the public with the Health department, has been a great help in reducing preventable disease to a minimum, and as there were no serious violations of quaran- tine, no prosecutions were necessary during the past year. The milk being supplied from all the dairies delivering in Winnetka is be- ing regularly tested both in our own laboratory and by the City of Chicago, the dairies are inspected each month and many of the farms supplying the milk have been visited. A new milk ordinance has recently been passed requiring that all milk delivered in the Village of Winnetka be obtained from tuberculin tested cows, and this is be- ing put into effect as rapidly as possi- ble. All restaurants, sweet shops, baker- ies, grocery stores and meat markets are being inspected each month and a high standard of sanitary conditions throughout the Village is being main- tained. A competent Public Health nurse in the person of Mrs. Mabel Mohan has been engaged and been on duty since December 16th. This enables us to give more health supervision to the children in school, to maintain regular office hours in the new Village Hall and to visit and instruct families that are in quarantine or that have been exposed to contagious disease. Respectfully submitted, C. O. Schneider, M. D. Commissioner of Health for Winnetka. Note: A table accompanying Dr. Schneider's report shows an appreci- able drop in the number of contagious disease cases in the village during 1926 as compared with 1925 and 1924. The ficures show 462 cases for 1926, 514 for 1925, and 543 for 1924, indicating an unusually healthy condition during the past year.
