THB LAKE SHORE nBWS, FRmAf, jAwUAkt WANT WELSMGH REPLACED BY ELECTRIC UGHTS Civic Ass'n Thinks Present System Is Wasteful in Extreme and Wants Municipal Plant Health Hints ByDR.E.E. MOORE ONLY 50 % EFFICIENT Present Contract With Gas People Still Has Four Years To Run. At a mooting of the Wilraette Civic association lie:a on Wednesday night of last week at Library hall, the ques- tion of street lighting for this village was ably discussed by Mr. u. C. Arms, village trustee and chairman of the public works committee. ^ Among other points brought out by Mr. Arms in his dfeeuMlon were the following: "The present system of lighting Wil- nette streets Is about 60 per cent efficient and, considering the service rendered, is wasteful in the extreme. A municipal lighting plant, such as tho one now operated by the village of Wlnnetka, would furnish current to the citlsens, light the streets at low cost, sad pay for Itself besides turning over to the village an annual profit. The bogy that the installation of a modern, adequate system of electric lights on ornamental posts would mean more taxes Is a fallacy, for such a system, beautiful and efficient at it woi for Itself." While the present contract with the gas company will not expire for near- ly four years, the association is of the opinion thst now is the time to appoint a permanent commission, whose doty it will be to study the question and to engineer the details o* adopting and installing a system of street lighting adequate for a suburban city of twice Wilmette's present population. Mr. Carlton R. Dart, engineer of the Sanitary district, also addressed the meeting. He outlined a comprehen- sive system of electric lighting and told how It could be Installed by co- operation with the Sanitary district. Fresh air moans fresh minds and is Just as important la winter as in summer. People don't take' cold. They catch ir from another person who by coush lag or sneezing has scattered the â- enus. If you have neglected to keep your yard or alley clean during the late fan or winter months, don't fall to clean up esrly in the spring. Don't wait for "annual cleaning day" or for a notification from tho health depart* mtntâ€"beat them to it. Remember that the basement is a poor place to allow rubbish and filth to accumulate. "Man, not God fixes the death rate." It Isn't the death rate that should oc- cupy the mind of the health officer. It Is the preventable disease rate that denotes his efficiency. His efficiency depends upon the careful, honest co- operation of every citizen. One fam- ily or one physician by not reporting a case of contagious disease promptly can start an epidemic. _____ Did you ever stop to think that so far as yon are personally concerned tlio Health department of the village enters more intimately into your life than any other departmen^The food you eat, the air you breath, the cars in which you ride, the theaters which you attend, the churches In which you worship, the schools, the street upon which you walk and the restau- rants in which you est are all under the supervision of the health depart- ment or should be if the department is properly organized. Is it logical, therefore, to handicap or oppose the work of this department in any way? The more you do for the department, the more the department can do for you.

DIPHTHERIA "•W^B -••••â- Â» ir Notice has been served on the Chi- cago and Milwaukee Electric railroad by the city of Highland Park to take up their tracks and cease to operate through the city on the expiration of thirty days' notice. This drastic resolution was drafted after considerable scrapping with the electric road over the use of St. Johns avenue between Sheridan road and Elm place. The franchise first grant- ed provided that the railroad company could use half of this street, but that it' should be kept in such condition that all of the street could be used by other traffic. __ The railroad company, according to the resolution, have removed, the pave- ment between its tracks on this street, with the exception of one block, raised the grade of the track and erected stations, all above the established grade of the street. The public there- fore have been deprived of the use of the west side of the street. Diphtheria Is a preventable disease, and should be less In evidence as the community increases In intelligenceâ€" people having knowledge of how diph- theria Is disseminated should be able to avoid it in a large measure. Diphtheria is almost always taken by close contact with a case of diph- theria, or with one who has diphthe- ria germs in the nose or throat, but otherwise without symptoms of diph therla. It is not often contracted from things. Here are some sugges- tions that should be remembered and followed. Avoid contact with: 1st. A person sick with diphtheria 2nd. Any person with a sore throat of any kind, no matter how slight tho attack. 3rd- Persons who are in immediate contact with a case of diphtheria, for they may be carriers of diphtheria Infection, not so much through cloth- lnc as from the throat and nose. 4th.

It should be impressed upon the r..tnd of every cnild that dirt Is dangerous, and that freedom frotu disease de- pends very much on Just keeping clean all the time. Children are nat,..oii, mi-ioo.i ami thoughtless, and of course, art Ig- norant as to matter* of personal ny glene. And their education in this all- important subject no more should be neglected than should any other phase of their mental training, ^furthermore It Is important that training in habits ot personal cleanliness, neatness and or der, should be begun in Infancy.

Residents of this neighborhood have made strenuous complaint through Kir. Ho wen W. Schumackar, and he has further consented to assist the city with the case without compensa- tion. The railroad has two alternatives. It can repave the street between Its tracks, lower the grade to that of the street and allow it to be used as a public thoroughfare. If they don't choose to do this they can pick up their track and stations and get out of town. The Invitation to move on Is tersely worded and sounds like real business on the part of the Highland Park council, which said in the course ot a long resolution: OrdcroJ Out Bo tt further resolved w. ... ... .... count or the failure of !..iid , hi* ,tgo and Milwaukee ElecUic ftailto&d com- [•any to comply with the provisions of said ordinance and amendments there- to, the rights heretofore granted un- der and by virtue of said ordinance and amendments thereto, bo forfeited, and the city ciork be and he is hereby ordered to give the Chicago and Mil- waukee Electric I tail road company written notice of the intention of the city of Highland Park at the expira tlon of thirty da/s afu-r the service of Bald notice, to d.,clare thai all the rights of the «U<1 Chicago a.id Mil- waukee Biectric Railroad company un der and by virtue of said ordinance and amendhients theicto snail cease and terminate and shall be forever null and void. «nd to noti./ s^id com pan, to remove, at the expiruti^n of said lima, from tht sti.-ets of High- land Park its tracku and other prop erty. by serving a tertificd co,»y of this resolution ui/Ou W O.
