BARTON C B«n Syndicate.--WNU Service. SIXTY YEARS AGO 3Ntet as we go to press learn that a grand Republican mass meeting will be held at Woodstock, on the afternoon of Saturday. Gen. John A. Logan, and others will be present and speak on the political questions of thw day. The Sept. term of the Circuit Court, his honor, Judge Upton presiding, is being held at Woodstock this week.

John knows a good horse when he sees one, and never owns any but the best. He demonstrates the old saying "the rich they ride in chaises and the poor by jingo have to walk." FIFTY YEARS, AGO Our citizens were shocked on Tuesday morning to learn that Mrs. Slade, wife of Rev. H. Slade, pastor of the Universalist church of this village, was found dead in bed, at her rooms in the Riverside House, where Mr. and Mrs. Slade boarded. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Paine, of Three Oaks, Mich., and Mr. A. H. Bradley, of Berryville, Wis., were visitng with their sister, Mrs. L. E. Bennett the past week. The Democratic Aid Society, which met at Parker House- hall on Friday evening last, drew out a very small crowd. They were addressed by J. W. Nichols, of Bloomington, who, we are informed, indulged in the usual harangue of speakers of his ilk, mistatem£ nts and abuse of the Republican party. A straight Democrat we can respect, but lying fanatics who travel the country and take up contributions from women and children are entitled to no respect. Dr. Barton *t*ORTY YEARS AGO Master Willie Claxton is the proud possessor of a new bicycle, presented to him last week by his parents as a birthday present. G. L. Hubbard, of Nuada, has opened a harness shop, at his old stand, over the Town Hall, in that village. N. S. Colby purchased of Jacob Bonslett last week, a handsome new surrey, which lie presented to his daughter, Mrs. Wm. Saylor. It 'was manufactured by the Henny Buggy company, of Freeport, and was finished up in their usual fine style, of which we have had occasion to sepak heretofore.

Prohibitionist candidates for governor Sheen arrived in McHenry in an auto shortly after noon Tuesday* Trains out of Chicago to McHenry were late all day Monday, Owing to the opening of the new Kinzie street bridge in Chicago. Richard Wray of Richmond is in charge of the N. H. Petesch drug store this week while the proprietor is enjoying a well earned rest. ' TWENTY YEARS AGO The McHenry mill is again in the midst of the busy season. A long line of automobiles and wagons may be seen in line there daily. Earl R. Walsh of this village received a check for $8.00 from secretary Guy E. Still this week for premiums won at the county fair held at Woodstock. Emory Herdklotz who has been the caretaker of the Woodstock golf grounds during the past few months, is now employed at the local bottling plant of the Borden company. John Boyle, Jktrs. Clara Starritt, Miss Elola and Earl Boyle motored to Elkhorn Thursday last and spent th« day at the fair. COMMANDS POTOMAC : -JBMT- * .. ?; - * Lieutenant Commander Walter ft. Jones, U. S. N., who has been ap» pointed to command the presidential yacht Potomac. YOU miss seeing a friend or acquaintance for some time j and when you next see him he tells you that he has had "another attack of rheumatism." The question then naturally arises as to whether the attack is just the "old" attack that has returned or whether it is an entirely "new" attack. While there is much that remains unknown about the cause or causes of rheumatism, the medical profession is coming back, more to the idea that some special or specific organism is to blame. The special organism causing rheumatism may be always in the system of certain individuals and at times when the individual'^ resistance is lowered these organisms get the upper hand and ar) attack of rheumatism occurs. Now if the attack was just a slight inflammation of the lining of a joint, Or the fibrous part of the muscles, it would be bad enough, but unfortunately with each attack of rheumatism there may be also an inflammation of the lining of the heart and blood vessels. Dr. E. I. Tsukershteyn, in Clinical Medicine, Moscow, states that of 300 cases admitted to his clinic, 82 per cent gave a history of recurrent or repeated attacks. To Prevent Attacks. How can attacks of rheumatism be prevented or made less serious? As the cause in most cases is some special organism--in infected teeth, tonsils, gall gladder, or intestine-- the first thought is an immediate visit, and a visit every six months or a year afterwards, to the dentist and physician. The second thought is to keep the body strong and disease-resisting by1 not eating too much food and taking more exercise. Even under the care of physician and dentist, and care in eating and the taking of exercise, there may be attacks because you may be "sensitive" to certain organisms, but the above care should lessen the chances of permanent disability to heart, blood vessejs, joints,, or other organs. i • J *. •: ; Overweight *§ Ailment. As our insurance companies give their reports to the public it is now an established fact that overweight is a serious liability to health and to life. When we remember that carrying 25 to 50 pounds of excess fat upon the body is just -the same as if that weight were iron or lead, some idea of the extra work done by the body every day can be realized. This extra work is not too much for the body to handle when We are in our twenties or thirties, but when exercise which holds and builds strength becomes less, then more fat accumulates and the burden becomes greater with less strength with which to carry this excess fat. Generally speaking, all that is necessary to remove a good part of this excess fat is to cut down on all starches, fats, and liquids, and practically all overweights can do this up to a certain point. In fact, even those whose overweight is due to a gland disturbance--thyroid, pituitary, or _ others--are able to remove some of this excess fat by cutting down on these three classes of foods. However, the important point about weight reduction is that every case should be considered by itself. Thus living habits should be studied. There is the housewife who works hard in the home all day, bakes, cooks, sweeps, looks after the children, and there is the other housewife with plenty of help, who does no physical work whatever. Naturally the one doing all the work should not have her food reduced at as fast a rate as the one who does no work. Similarly with men. Some overweights are on their feet much of the day whilst others sit at a desk. Rest, more rest than should be taken, is as big a factor in putting on fat as is food; In addition to considering the work or exercise done daily, there is also the fact that some cases have just a little less gland juice than normal, whilst others lack a considerable amount of the necessary thyroid or pituitary juice. The overweight who lacks a large amount of gland juice will, in additiori to cutting down on food, require also some of this gland juice or extract in order to get down to normal weight. The overweight who lacks but a •mall amount of the necessary gland juice R|ay be able to attain normal weight by simply cutting down on the amount of food eaten. In other words, the fact that insurance companies treat overweight as an ailment and will refuse insurance to overweights just as they refuse applicants with heart, kidney, bloodvessel and other ailments •bows that each case of overweight requires individual attention. .. On the Funny Side ~r L NOT RECKLESS AT ALL The wife came home with a black eye and a bump on her head. Her husband asked what was the matter. f "It s that silly car of yours," she pouted.
